IBERSOL • 2023 Integrated Management Report

ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE ACTION CO 2 emissions In Portugal, indirect CO 2 emissions associated with electricity consumption per point of sale increased in 2023 compared to 2022 and 2021, as a result of the rise in energy consumption per restaurant and the increase in the specific emission factor. In Spain, indirect CO 2 emissions per place of consumption in 2023 rose compared to the previous year, with the increase in energy consumption per point of sale more than cancelling out the effect of the reduction in the specific emission rate. Direct C0 2 emissions associated with gas consumption, in Portugal and Spain, per point of sale increased, determined fundamentally by the rise in the specific emission factor. In Portugal, the use of energy production systems with photovoltaic panels prevented the emission of around three tonnes of CO 2 in 2023. 196
