OMNES CAPITAL 2. OMNES%u2019 INVESTMENT STRATEGIES CASE STUDIESand systematic tracking of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the intention of establishing a robust baseline for ongoing environmental reporting and disclosure.ESG Transparency and ReportingIn 2024, with Omnes%u2019 active support, Power Capital published its inaugural ESG report. This was a pivotal achievement that formalized the company%u2019s approach to disclosure, established a structured framework for tracking key performance indicators, and aligned the organization%u2019s external communication with investor and stakeholder expectations. This report represents a foundational driver of ESG maturity progression and provides the basis for increasingly rigorous and comparable reporting in the years ahead.Financial Structuring and Growth TrajectoryIn 2025, Power Capital reached a landmark financial milestone with a %u20ac125 million capital injection from Infranity. This transaction strengthened the company%u2019s balance sheet, improved long-term funding visibility, and supported both pipeline execution and balance sheet deleveraging. Critically, it is also having an impact on the company%u2019s broader ESG program, providing the financial platform necessary to implement and scale its sustainability commitments in parallel with operational growth.Results and Value CreationBetween 2023 and 2024, Power Capital delivered measurable progress across multiple ESG dimensions, with overall scores improving, particularly across the Human Capital, Environment, and External Stakeholder pillars. Employee-related metrics strengthened considerably over the period and the integration of ESG criteria into procurement and supplier engagement processes has begun to take effect across the operational ecosystem. These advances reflect a consistent and structured approach to ESG improvement that extends beyond reporting compliance to the ways in which the business is managed and developed.From a financial standpoint, the platform has delivered strong value creation, achieving an investment multiple of 1.71x as of 2025. This performance is proof of both the resilience of the underlying business model and the disciplined execution of the company%u2019s development pipeline, demonstrating that ESG maturity and financial performance are complementary, rather than competing, objectives.ESG Outlook (2026 and Beyond)Looking ahead, Power Capital%u2019s ESG roadmap is focused on several strategic priorities that respond to both the growing scale of the business and the increasing expectations of its stakeholder environment. On governance, the company is working to strengthen its internal frameworks, including the formalization of cybersecurity policies and alignment with the UN Global Compact. Community engagement is also a growing priority, with the development of structured Community Benefit Funds designed to ensure that local value-sharing keeps pace with project development activity. On the environmental side, the company is focused on enhancing its reporting capabilities, with particular emphasis on systematic energy consumption tracking and GHG emissions quantification across all relevant scopes. Lastly, Power Capital continues to pursue portfolio diversification and long-term energy strategy optimization, including through the expansion of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and deeper integration of BESS assets.As Power Capital moves to become a fully integrated IPP, ESG maturity will remain a central and actively managed aspect of the company%u2019s development, supported by Omnes%u2019 ongoing engagement across governance, reporting, and stakeholder management.
