We also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative, whereby we will define our science-based climate targets in 2025. To strengthen equality and diversity, we updated our equality and non-discrimination plan and signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles established by UN Women and UN Global Compact. Quality and information security are an integral part of Digia’s reliable operations.

Markets, business environment and Digia’s market position

Digia’s main market is Finland, and we also provide solutions internationally. In addition to Finland, Digia operates in Sweden and the Netherlands. Digia believes that the market for IT services will grow in the long term, even though demand in the short term has been cautious. The long-term trend in the demand for digital solutions is strong in spite of this, and data utilisation harnessing smart technology both efficiently and securely is an increasingly important success factor for all organisations. Expanding existing systems and utilising the data they generate will play a central role alongside new digital solutions. This means that both integration and data expertise will become increasingly important. In addition, interest in automation and harnessing artificial intelligence is growing strongly. Our customers’ goal is to streamline their existing operations, and thereby enable investments in continuous digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

Digia’s extensive offering – from individual service areas to broader customer solutions – brings stability and balances out the effects of any market fluctuations in our business. We see the following trends:

User-centred and secure solutions are gaining further ground. A good user experience for applications is of paramount importance.
The level of automation and smart functionalities is growing. Digital evolution is trending towards automated and AI-assisted or controlled processes and services. These are based on reliable data, its secure availability, and the organisation’s ability to refine and utilise data and technology.
Instead of isolated solutions, the renewal of entire businesses as a whole is being considered. Application and IT system packages are becoming larger and more complex. Operational continuity, which is critical for organisations and business, emphasises the interoperability, reliability and security of system entities. When an overview and roadmap of the big picture have been drafted, system modernisation can be carried out in phases.
Business operations are becoming networked both internally and externally. Secure and reliable integrations and interfaces are at the heart of digital evolution. They enable the functionality of application packages and data availability.
Sustainable development and the green transition are megatrends. The utilisation of digital technologies and data is key to solving sustainability challenges. Digia combines technological possibilities and human capabilities to build smarter businesses and societies – and a sustainable future.

In line with our strategy, we develop and maintain high-quality business solutions for our customers, which we fine-tune with automation and smart technology. Our mission is to ensure that our customers are at the forefront of digital evolution, with an operational model and rhythm that are right for them.

Share-based bonuses

In the 2024 fiscal year, Digia had a long-term share-based incentive scheme for senior executives. The earning period in the incentive scheme is 2023–2025. The scheme’s target group consists of the CEO and the company’s senior executives. The scheme may also cover other individual key personnel. The scheme is designed to align the goals of the company’s shareholders and management in order to increase the company’s value, and to commit executive management to the company and its long-term objectives. It offers participants the chance to earn company shares if the targets set by the Board of Directors for the three-year bonus period are met. These targets are based on the company’s net sales, cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2023–2025, and sustainability objective. The earnings period for indicators is three years (2023–2025), and the targets for all indicators have been set for the final date of the earnings period. During the bonus period, the company’s CEO and other scheme participants are entitled to a bonus equivalent to a maximum of 480,000 new Digia Plc shares. If the terms are met, the bonuses for all indicators based on the new scheme will be paid at the end of the reward period in spring 2026. All bonuses under this scheme will be paid as a combination of shares and cash. The cash component of the bonus will primarily be used to cover taxes and other comparable costs arising from the scheme. As a rule, the bonus will not be paid if a member resigns or if a member’s employment or post is terminated prior to the bonus payment date specified in the incentive scheme. Under certain conditions, the Board may, at its discretion, decide on possible bonuses in accordance with the pro-rata principle. EUR 0.6 million in expenses were incurred by the scheme during the 2024 fiscal year. EUR 0.4 million in expenses were incurred by incentive schemes during the previous fiscal year. Digia has an agreement with Evli Awards Management Ltd for the coordination of the company’s share-based incentive scheme, the associated share management, and the payment of incentives to individuals in accordance with the terms and conditions of the scheme.

Corporate governance

Digia Plc’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 20 March 2024. The AGM adopted the financial statements for 2023, released the Board members and the CEO from liability, determined Board emoluments and auditor fees, set the number of Board members at six, and elected the company’s Board of Directors for a new term. With regard to profit distribution for 2023, the AGM approved the Board’s proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.17 per share to all shareholders listed in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the reconciliation date of 22 March 2024. The dividend payment date was 2 April 2024.

The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board

* Shares may be acquired in order to improve the company’s capital structure, to fund or complete acquisitions or other business transactions, to offer share-based incentive schemes, to sell on, or to be annulled.
* The shares must be acquired at the market price in public trading. The minimum price of the shares to be acquired shall be the lowest quotation in public trading while the authorisation is in force and, correspondingly, the maximum price shall be the highest quotation in public trading while the authorisation is in force.

Events after the balance sheet date

There have been no major events since the balance sheet date.# Risks and uncertainties

Digia’s risks are classified as strategic, financial, operational and sustainability risks. Digia’s risk management process is described in more detail in the Corporate Governance Statement. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for supervising the implementation of risk management and assessing its effectiveness. Monitoring focuses on risks of material significance to the company that are classified as high risk. Digia’s Group Management Team is responsible for the appropriateness of risk management and overseeing operational activities. The owner of risk management is responsible for reporting on risks and their correct assessment. Digia’s risk management process is supported by centralised risk management software. Changes in the risk status are reported to the Audit Committee twice a year, and the Group Management Team monitors the risk status at its regular meetings. Reports cover the risk status, the impacts of significant risks and measures used to manage them, and the monitoring of objectives, including the specified indicators.

The company’s strategic and financial risks relate to potential significant changes in the company’s operating environment and service areas and increasing competition, for example, in relation to pricing and contract terms. Geopolitics, general economic trends, higher interest rates and changes in customers’ operating environment and financial position may have an unfavourable impact on the company’s business, financial position and result through slower decision-making and the postponement or cancellation of IT investments.

Implementing the growth strategy places demands on both the organisation and its management. The company’s ability to recruit, maintain and develop the correct competence – and also to correctly time the offering to meet demand – will play a vital role. In line with its strategy, Digia is also seeking growth through acquisitions. However, Digia cannot be certain of locating suitable companies for acquisition or of successfully integrating them.

Operational and cyclical risks largely involve short-term demand. If demand sees a sharp fall, price levels might also decline. The pricing models used in the service business balance out cyclical business. In an inflationary environment, it is not certain how quickly and to what extent the rise in costs will be passed on to market prices. Major customer projects – and fixed-price projects in particular – involve both business opportunities and risks. As customer projects increase in size, the risks associated with profitability management also grow, and there is a greater need to manage extensive contract and delivery packages. Large customer projects typically involve delivery-related sanctions. At the same time, the risks associated with accounts receivable are also rising.

Data security and protection risks comprise a significant risk area in the company’s business operations. Organisations have more and more information that is critical to their operations. Threats to data security and protection have risen significantly in recent years. Data security and protection risks mainly concern technology and people. Significant risk factors also include risks posed by high-security projects and subcontracting chains. Due to the nature of its operations, the company is also the target of hostile influence. The company identifies, manages and prevents both internal and external threats. The company implements a regular ISO 27001 certified risk management process based on best practices in handling data security and protection risks. Risks are identified and their impact and significance are analysed. The risk level is reduced with appropriate measures where possible. Operational response and the handling of potential threats have been planned, rehearsed and tested in practice. The company’s employees are continuously trained, and data security and protection issues are actively communicated within the company and, if necessary, also to partners and customers. The company works in close cooperation with a variety of data security and protection authorities and networks. Physical security and personnel safety issues are managed using mechanisms similar to those employed in data security and data protection.

Increasing regulation may also adversely impact the development of Digia’s net sales and cost level. Digia’s sustainability risks are reviewed in more detail in the Group’s Sustainability Report.

Board’s dividend proposal

According to the balance sheet dated 31 December 2024, Digia Plc’s distributable shareholders’ equity was EUR 70,746,626.13, of which EUR 8,448,323.71 was profit for the fiscal year. At the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Board of Directors will propose that a dividend of EUR 0.18 per share be paid according to the confirmed balance sheet for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2024. Shareholders listed in the shareholders’ register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the dividend reconciliation date, 31 March 2025, will be eligible for the payment of dividend. Dividends will be paid on 7 April 2025.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held once a year before the end of June on a date set by the Board of Directors. Each company share entitles the holder to one vote at a Shareholders’ Meeting. The Annual General Meeting should convene annually within three months of the date on which the fiscal year ends. An Extraordinary General Meeting must be held if the Board of Directors deems it necessary or if requested in writing by a company auditor or shareholders holding a minimum of 10 per cent of the company’s shares, for the purpose of discussing a specific issue. The Finnish Companies Act and Digia’s Articles of Association define the responsibilities and duties of the Shareholders’ Meeting. Extraordinary General Meetings decide on the matters for which they have been specifically convened.

Shareholders have the right to add a relevant item (as specified in the Companies Act) to the agenda for the Shareholders’ Meeting, as long as the request is made in writing to the Board of Directors in time for the item to be added to the notice of meeting. Digia will announce the date by which shareholders must present a requested AGM agenda item to the company’s Board of Directors. This deadline will be published on Digia’s website. The date will be announced at the latest by the end of the fiscal year preceding the Annual General Meeting.# SHAREHOLDER’S MEETING

The CEO may take exceptional and far-reaching measures, in view of the nature and scope of the company’s activities, only if so authorised by the Board of Directors.

Control functions and control environment

The company has a f inance business partner function that reports to the CFO and is tasked with ensuring the accuracy of monthly f inancial reporting. The CFO reports on the f inancial performance of the company and its divisions to Management, the Board of Directors, and the Board’s Audit Commit tee. The company uses a reporting system that compiles subsidiaries’ reports into consolidated f inancial statements. There are also writ ten directives for completing the f inancial reports of subsidiaries. The company’s CFO monitors compliance with these instructions. The company also has the separate reporting facilities required for monitoring business operations and asset management. The Group’s f inancial administration unit prepares management’s interim reports, consolidated interim reports and consolidated F inancial Statements. This f inancial administration unit has centralised control over the Group’s funding and asset management, and is in charge of managing f inancial risks.

Internal control

Internal control helps to ensure the reliability of the Digia Group’s f inancial reporting. Digia’s f inancial administration unit provides guidance on f inancial reporting mat ters. The Group’s business is divided into areas of responsibility led by Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) reporting to the CEO. Reporting and supervision are based on annual budgets that are reviewed monthly, on monthly income reporting, and on updates of the latest forecasts. The SVPs report to the Group Management Team on development mat ters, strategic and annual planning, business and income monitoring, investments, potential acquisition targets and internal organisation mat ters related to their areas of responsibility. Each area of responsibility also has its own management team. Digia’s operational management and supervision adhere to the corporate governance system described above. Digia has not yet established a separate function responsible for internal auditing. The need for an internal audit function is regularly assessed. With the company’s current business volume, its legal and f inancial management functions are able to handle internal auditing tasks.

Risk Management

The purpose of the company’s risk management process is to identify and manage risks in a way that enables the company to at tain its strategic and f inancial targets. Risk management is a continuous process by which the major risks are determined, listed and assessed, the key persons in charge of risk management are appointed, and risks are prioritised according to an assessment scale that compares the ef fects and mutual signif icance of risks. Part of this process involves identifying, planning and implementing risk management measures, and then monitoring their impact. Risk management is continuously developed, and the maturity of its systems is likewise continuously assessed. Digia’s risk management process is supported by centralised risk management software. Risks are classif ied as strategic, f inancial, operational and sustainability risks.

Board of Directors’ Report

In order to enable the monitoring of related-party transactions, the company maintains an up-to-date register of companies and persons who are classified as related parties, including their grounds for being so classified. It is executive management’s task to identify related parties and related-party transactions before engaging in any business. The business function and the legal counsel should together determine whether related-party transactions form part of the company’s ordinary business and whether they are subject to standard commercial terms and conditions. If an intended related-party transaction would be significant for Digia and would either deviate from the company’s ordinary business or not be subject to normal market conditions, then this business transaction must be decided upon by the company’s Board of Directors. Digia’s related-party transactions are explained in more detail in the consolidated Financial Statements. The company has no significant related-party transactions. Its related-party transactions are carried out under normal market conditions and do not deviate from the company’s ordinary business.

Auditor and auditor’s fees

Digia has one official auditor, who must be a KHT auditor or KHT audit firm approved by the Auditing Board of the Central Chamber of Commerce. The auditor is elected until further notice. The Annual General Meeting elects the auditor and decides on their fees. Ernst & Young Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, have been the company’s auditors since 2022, with Authorised Public Accountant Terhi Mäkinen as the chief auditor.

Basis for preparation

General basis for preparation of sustainability statements (BP-1)

This Digia Plc Sustainability Statement has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The information contained in the Sustainability Statement covers the same period as the company’s financial indicators (1 January–31 December 2024), and has been prepared at Group level. Some of Digia’s own sustainability objectives cover only part of the Group. Any boundaries are covered in more detail in the topic-specific sections. As part of its double materiality assessment, (double materiality has the same meaning as the term double materiality in the ESRS standards and the term two-way information in the Accounting Act) Digia has analysed those sustainability themes that are most material to the company’s business, taking the entire value chain into account. Based on this assessment, the Sustainability Statement covers upstream operations for direct suppliers and downstream operations for Digia’s customers and the solutions delivered to its customers’ end-users. Digia has not omitted any information relating to intellectual property, expertise or innovation outcomes.

Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances (BP-2)

Digia has been awarded an ISO 9001 quality certificate, which covers Digia Finland Ltd and the Group’s shared services. Digia has also been awarded an ISO 27001 security certificate, which covers some of Digia’s business areas and locations. In both its double materiality assessment and the identification of risks and opportunities, Digia has used the short-term (one year), medium-term (1–5 years) and long-term (more than five years) definitions given in ESRS 1.

Value chain estimation, sources of estimation and outcome uncertainty

Digia has used indirect sources in the calculation of its upstream greenhouse gases (Disclosure Requirement E1-6). Indirect sources Sustainability Statement 2024 General Disclosures have mainly been used in Scope 3 emission categories 1, 3, 6 and 7, for which general factors have been used to calculate emissions. Estimation has therefore been used in the calculation of emissions, as these general factors are derived from widely used emission factor libraries. For more information about the use of indirect and direct sources in the calculation of emissions, see Disclosure Requirement E1-6 Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions. There is no significant uncertainty associated with the metrics or monetary values used in Digia’s emission calculations. However, as general emission factors are often averages that ignore variations in operations or conditions, this may increase the uncertainty of the calculation. The company is continuously developing its emissions calculation process, and aims to increase its use of direct sources through improved supplier management.

Changes in preparation or presentation of sustainability information and reporting errors in prior periods

Digia has retrospectively refined some of the emission factors used in the calculation of its 2023 carbon footprint, and has also expanded its 2023 carbon footprint calculation to better cover the Group’s most material emissions in order to provide a reliable comparison year. These corrections and expansions apply to Scope 3 emissions. A comparison of the changes is shown in the table below.

	2023 original	2023 corrected
Total Gross indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions (tCO2 eq)	3,527.2	6,078.8
1 Purchased goods and services	1,571.6	4,047.0
Cloud computing and data centre services	199.3	42.7
2 Capital goods	362.9	423.9
5 Waste generated in operations	7.5	22.7

Governance

The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies (GOV-1)

Responsibility for Digia’s operations is held by the Shareholders’ Meeting, Board of Directors, and the President & CEO assisted by the Group Management Team. Digia’s highest decision-making body is the Shareholders’ Meeting at which shareholders exercise their voting rights on company matters.

Board of Directors and Committees

The Board of Directors is elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting, and is in charge of Digia’s administration and the appropriate organisation of the company’s operations. Under the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors must consist of a minimum of four and a maximum of eight members. Neither the CEO nor other company employees working under the CEO’s direction may be elected members of the Board. The Board of Directors has defined a Board diversity policy. It states that the requirements of the company’s size, market position and industry should be duly reflected in the Board’s composition. Both genders should be represented on the Board. It should be ensured that the Board as a whole will always have sufficient expertise in the following areas in particular:
* the company’s field of business
* managing a company of similar size
* the nature of a listed company’s business operations
* management accounting
* risk management
* corporate sustainability statement
* mergers and acquisitions
* board work.
The members of Digia’s Board of Directors have extensive and relevant expertise in these areas on the basis of their primary work experience and other positions of trust.# Board of Directors’ Report

The majority of Board members must be independent of the company and a minimum of two of those members must also be independent of the company’s major shareholders. Of the current members of the Board, Martti Ala-Härkönen, Santtu Elsinen, Sari Leppänen, Henry Nieminen and Outi Taivainen are independent of the company and its major shareholders. Robert Ingman is independent of the company. Robert Ingman is not independent of the company’s major shareholders due to his holdings in related parties.

During the 2024 reporting year, Digia’s Board of Directors had three (3) committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nomination Committee. It is the Audit Committee’s role to monitor impacts and risks. These committees do not hold powers of decision or execution unless separately authorised by the Board; their role is to assist the Board in decision-making concerning their areas of expertise. The committees report regularly on their work to the Board, which has decision-making and collegial responsibility over their actions.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in ensuring that the company’s financial reporting, accounting methods, sustainability statement, financial statements and any other financial information provided by the company comply with legislation and are balanced, transparent and clear. The Audit Committee also supervises and assesses internal control and auditing, the effectiveness of risk management systems, and how well agreements and other legal actions between the company and its related parties meet market conditions and the requirements for ordinary operations. The Audit Committee supervises and assesses the independence of the company’s auditor and, in particular, the auditor’s provision of non-audit services. The Audit Committee also supervises the company’s audit and prepares a proposal for the choice of auditor. It also reviews reports on notifications received through the Whistleblowing channel.

In 2024, the Audit Committee consisted of Martti Ala-Härkönen (Chair), Santtu Elsinen and Henry Nieminen.

administration in accordance with the instructions and regulations issued by the Board of Directors, and as defined by the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The CEO chairs the Group Management Team’s meetings. The CEO is not a member of the Board of Directors, but attends Board meetings.

The Management Team assists the CEO in the preparation and implementation of strategy, routine management, and preparing items for consideration by the Board of Directors. The CEO is responsible for the Management Team’s decisions. Members of the Management Team are tasked with implementing these decisions within their own areas of responsibility.

Digia’s Management Team consists of ten people: the CEO, CFO, General Counsel, CTO and HR Director, as well as the SVP of Sales and Marketing and the SVPs of four business areas. All members of the Management Team have lengthy experience in the company’s sector or their own area of expertise.

Under the authorisation of the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee approves the appointments of the members of the Group Management Team and decides on the terms and conditions of their service contracts on the basis of the CEO’s proposal. There were no employees or employee representatives in Digia’s Management Team during the 2024 reporting year.

Sustainability-related expertise and skills

The Board of Directors, its committees and the Management Team regularly discuss reviews of various aspects of sustainability, which are presented by the Group’s experts and operational management. Through these reviews, Digia’s senior executives learn about the most material impacts, risks and opportunities associated with the company’s sustainability, as well as the company’s progress towards its sustainability targets and its sustainability-related projects. These reviews ensure that Digia’s management has up-to-date information and competence with regard to sustainability issues. The need for any follow-up measures or external expertise is also decided upon in conjunction with these reviews. The topics discussed during 2024 meetings are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement GOV-2.

Board of Directors and Committees

Digia’s Board of Directors, supported by its committees, holds ultimate responsibility for sustainability within the Group. Sustainability is part of the company’s Board-approved business strategy, and the Board also approves the company’s sustainability focus areas and targets for each strategy period. The Board of Directors likewise approves the sustainability targets to be included in the incentive scheme for management, complete with their relative weightings.

As a rule, the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee reviews topical sustainability issues on a quarterly basis. The Audit Committee discussed sustainability at five of its meetings in 2024. At Audit Committee meetings, experts and senior executives present information for the committee to review: sustainability themes, target attainment, development plans, and development measures and their implementation. The outcomes of the Group’s risk management (including sustainability risks) are presented to the Audit Committee twice a year, along with any reports of potential misconduct that have been made through the Whistleblowing channel.

During 2024, the following sustainability-related material risks, impacts and opportunities were reviewed at meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees:

Impacts

Trends in Digia’s CO2 emission targets and measures to achieve them.
Value chain emissions: the accuracy of Scope 3 data and a development plan.
The competencies and resources required to meet stakeholder requirements and carry out actions arising from sustainability regulation.
An overview of challenges facing the workplace community and any necessary development measures (mental health, equal treatment).

Risks

Information security risks and measures.
Risks arising from rapid growth in AI usage: the publication of an AI policy.
Risks associated with new regulations (such as NIS2 and CSRD).
The adequacy of human resources: current status, personnel competence and turnover.
The current status and development of risk management.

Opportunities

Feedback on customer satisfaction (NPS) concerning Digia’s status as a trusted partner, and a survey of customer needs with regard to sustainability themes.
New customer and business development needs that have arisen through increased regulation.

The steering group met seven times in 2024.

Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes (GOV-3)

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting (GOV-5)

The purpose of Digia’s risk management process is to identify and manage risks in a way that enables the company to attain its strategic and financial targets. Risk management is a continuous process by which Digia determines, lists and assesses its major risks, appoints key persons to take charge of risk management, and prioritises risks according to an assessment scale that compares the impacts and mutual significance of risks. This process involves identifying, planning and implementing risk management measures, and then monitoring their impact. Risk management is continuously developed, and the maturity of its systems is likewise continuously assessed. Digia’s risk management process is supported by centralised risk management software. Risks are classified as strategic, financial, operational and sustainability risks. The current risk assessment model is based on the COSO model and the applicable sections of ISO 31000. Risks are prioritised on the basis of their consequences, financial impact and probability. Digia’s identified sustainability risks consist of environmental, social and governance risks. Office work poses a rather low risk of environmental damage. The potential risks related to social responsibility that are monitored include experiences of overwork, occupational wellbeing, discrimination and unequal treatment. The monitoring of procurements, in turn, involves potential human rights risks such as the use of forced labour in the manufacture of equipment and the sourcing of raw materials. Administrative risks primarily concern the company’s legal compliance and ethical operations. Both the risks and their mitigation strategies are covered in the topic-specific sections. Digia will update its double materiality assessment at least once per strategy period, or when significant changes occur in the company’s business. At the same time, the company will also review the need for any changes in the management of sustainability risks. Digia has not yet established a separate function responsible for internal auditing. The company regularly assesses the need for an internal audit function. With the company’s current business volume, its existing functions are able to handle internal auditing tasks. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for supervising the implementation of risk management and assessing its effectiveness. Monitoring focuses on risks of material significance to the company that are classified as high risk. The Audit Committee receives an overview of risk management, which consists of a breakdown of the most significant risks and the distribution of risks along the probability-effect axis. Changes in the risk status are reported to the Audit Committee twice a year, and the Group Management Team monitors the risk status at its regular meetings. These reports cover the risk status, the impacts of significant risks and measures used to manage them, and the monitoring of objectives, including the specified indicators. Digia’s Group Management Team is responsible for the appropriateness of risk management and overseeing operational activities. Any potential sustainability risks are also addressed as necessary by the Sustainability Steering Group and Quality Steering Group.

OUTPUTS AND IMPACTS	INPUT

Interests and views of stakeholders (SBM-2)

Digia’s most important stakeholders are customers, personnel, investors, educational institutions, technology partners, subcontractors, organisations and communities. When identifying the material aspects of responsibility for each stakeholder, Digia has taken into account the most significant economic, social and environmental impacts of its operations and services, as well as other significant trends affecting the ICT sector. Digia builds up an understanding of materialities and stakeholders’ expectations through a combination of routine management and regular meetings, surveys and analyses. Communication methods vary by stakeholder. Both investors and customers have become increasingly active in areas relating to sustainable development. Taking stakeholders’ interests and views into account is a key element of Digia’s strategic planning and business development. Digia responds to changes in its stakeholders’ needs and expectations by continually developing its operations and prioritising actions that will support both the company’s own business and its collaboration with stakeholders.Management engages in continuous dialogue with customers and other stakeholders through regular discussions, meetings, and by fostering partnerships via various channels. The Audit Committee receives biannual reports on developments in stakeholder-related risks, and sustainability risks are monitored during the Group’s Management Team meetings. Alongside, there is an overview of Digia’s key stakeholders and stakeholder engagement.

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)

Six out of the ten sustainability themes mentioned in the directive also emerged as material themes in Digia’s double materiality assessment: climate change, resource use and circular economy, own workforce, workers in the value chain, consumers and end-users, and business conduct.

During the current reporting period, Digia did not identify any significant financial impacts relating to material risks or opportunities. There were no changes in the most significant impacts, risks or opportunities in comparison to the previous reporting period. When Digia’s financial risks are taken into consideration, no significant changes in the company’s financial performance, cash flows or financial position have been observed, and none are expected in the short term.

Digia has no planned investments or divestments associated with the aforementioned. Customer demand and needs determine the realization of economic opportunities and the resulting environmental impacts in the short, medium, and long term. Digia has not identified any business risks or opportunities that would not be covered by the ESRS disclosure requirements. More information about material impacts, risks and opportunities, including their connection to Digia’s strategy and business model, can be found in the topic-specific sections.

The following table describes Digia’s most significant impacts, risks and opportunities on the basis of the double materiality assessment:

Topic	Value chain	Pos/Neg impact or risk/opportunity	Time frame	Grounds
E1 Climate change mitigation	Upstream, own operations and downstream	Positive and negative impacts, and a business opportunity	Short, medium and long	Digia’s own operations and procurement generate emissions. However, Digia can significantly improve its customers’ energy and carbon dioxide efficiency through a variety of IT solutions, which will play a key role in reducing our society’s emissions.
E1 Energy	Upstream, own operations and downstream	Negative impacts and a business opportunity	Short, medium and long	The highest emissions from Digia’s operations and value chain arise from energy consumption. Digia provides IT solutions that help its customers to improve their own energy efficiency. On the other hand, the data used in these IT solutions consumes energy and generates emissions.
E5 Resource use and circular economy	Downstream	A business opportunity	Medium and long	Customers need to reduce their resource usage, and the green transition will create business opportunities for solutions that harness green coding and the circular economy.
S1 Working conditions	Own operations	Positive and negative impacts, and a business risk	Short and medium	Digia is heavily dependent on its experts, which underlines the importance of employee wellbeing, workload management and flexible working hours.
S1 Equal opportunities and opportunities for all	Own operations	Positive and negative impacts, and a business risk	Short, medium and long	A diverse and continually evolving range of talented, permanent employees is a prerequisite for business development and has a positive impact on customers.
S2 Working conditions	Upstream	Negative impacts, and both a business opportunity and risk	Short and medium	The Digia Hub subcontracting network is an integral part of Digia’s operating model. As subcontractors are not directly employed by the company, Digia may not always receive accurate information about their working conditions. Some of Digia’s subcontractors also operate all across Europe.
S4 Privacy	Downstream	Positive and negative impacts, and a business risk	Short, medium and long	Digia’s security policies follow ISO 27001 operating principles, and some of its businesses and locations are ISO 27001 certified. However, data protection and security risks may still be realised. The company promotes responsible data use through e.g. data protection and security assessments, personnel training, and cybersecurity analyses.
S4 Data security	Downstream	Negative impacts, and both a business risk and opportunity	Short, medium and long	Data security and GDPR-compliant data protection must be kept at a very high level, as data security breaches pose major risks for Digia.
S4 Social inclusion	Downstream	Positive and negative impacts, and a business opportunity	Short, medium and long	User-friendly services and accessibility are two cornerstones in the planning of Digia’s platforms and solutions, particularly in public-sector projects. Similar requirements are also expected to increase in the private sector. A rise in the number of digital services could potentially increase inequality if services are not accessible and easy to use. Digital solutions can also create digital stress for users and affect their personal health.
G1 Business conduct	Upstream, own operations and downstream	Negative impacts, and both a business risk and opportunity	Short, medium and long	Digia operates in regions in which negative impacts on business practices are comparatively low on a global scale. The company is considered to be a reliable business partner.

Managing impacts, risks and opportunities

Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1)

Fulf illing regulatory requirements can be a potential risk factor and requires investments. However, sustainability and reliability can also constitute a competitive edge and generate new business opportunities. Digia conducted its double materiality assessment in 2023, and ref ined it in 2024 with regard to material sustainability impacts. The assessment identif ied the most signif icant sustainability themes for Digia’s business, taking the entire value chain into account. It covered the company’s own operations, as well as all upstream and downstream operations from direct and indirect suppliers to customers and solution end-users. The assessment was based on the EU Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It determined the themes on which Digia’s business has signif icant positive and/or negative impacts and the themes that create the most signif icant business risks and/or opportunities for Digia. The assessment was carried out in collaboration with an expert partner. The list of sustainability issues covered in the ESRS Application Requirements (ESRS 1 AR 16) was utilised both in the assessment and to draw up an initial list of material topics. The process utilised existing data on Digia’s sustainability themes, as well as plans and external sources of information about typical sustainability themes within the sector. This stakeholder-related background material included customer interviews, online customer surveys, a reputation survey and an employer image survey. The company was able to use this preliminary list to form hypotheses on potentially material topics. These hypotheses served as the basis for a more accurate impact assessment that identif ied Digia’s actual and potential impacts.

The assessment was performed separately for impacts and f inancial materiality. Impacts were assessed on the basis of a scoring system in which each topic was individually assessed in terms of its scale, scope, remediation and probability. Risks, dependencies and opportunities were scored on the basis of their f inancial signif icance and probability. All topics were analysed from the perspective of their impacts and f inancial signif icance, with particular at tention being paid to the relationships between them. As part of the assessment, Digia considered which section of the value chain has the greatest impact and over what time frame. The value chain was separated into upstream and downstream, and Digia’s own operations. The time frame was divided into short-, medium- and long-term. Probability was assessed on a scale of one to f ive. Some of Digia’s internal experts also took part in the assessment, for example, via interviews and workshops. Digia’s Management Team was also actively involved throughout the assessment process, and the Board of Directors’ Audit Commit tee discussed topic def initions. Surveys and interviews were used to take external stakeholders’ views into consideration. A f inancial institution was also interviewed to gain insights into its views on important sustainability themes. Digia’s double materiality assessment was carried out at a sub-theme level. At sub-sub-theme level, topics were aggregated when they were of a similar nature, had impacts on the same stakeholders, or received the same score. In S1 categories, for example, aggregations were made for impacts on the company’s own workforce. Prioritisation assessed the probability and scope of impacts, risks or opportunities.

During the assessment, Digia noted that the material impacts of upstream operations only cover direct suppliers, while downstream operations include customers and solution end-users. Topics with a score above a predetermined threshold were def ined as material. This threshold was def ined as topics with a score of moderate or higher. On this basis, there are a total of ten material topics, which can be found in section SBM-3 of this Sustainability Statement. On the basis of preparatory work carried out by the Management Team, the Audit Commit tee assessment. Digia reviews its materiality assessment at least once per strategy period and, if necessary, also at more frequent intervals if there are signif icant changes in the company’s operating environment or business. Digia’s current strategy period covers the calendar years 2023–2025, and the process has not changed during this time. The company will also monitor changes in legislation and market practices in case any updates are required. The management of sustainability risks is an integral part of Digia’s risk management process and management model. The key themes identif ied in the double materiality assessment have been included in current risk management and are handled in accordance with normal risk management processes. Impacts and opportunities are addressed in each business area, and also by the senior executive in charge of the function in question. They are assessed and prioritised as part of the annual calendar. Sustainability and a sustainable business model are key elements in Digia’s strategy and approach. Digia revises its strategy and priorities for each strategy period, and thereby also the impacts and opportunities associated with sustainability topics.

Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets (MDR-T)

Digia’s sustainable business model and responsible way of working are integral to the company’s strategy and instrumental to its business success. Digia updated its sustainability programme and objectives for the 2023–2025 strategy period. Digia’s focus areas and objectives in corporate responsibility are based on the company’s strategic policies, the expectations of key stakeholders, the characteristics of the ICT sector and business environment, the impacts of the company’s operations, and the objectives of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and Global Compact. The main focus areas of Digia’s corporate responsibility have not changed during the current strategy period, and the company considers the green transition and the solving of sustainability challenges to be business opportunities. Digital solutions have the potential to signif icantly contribute to solving sustainability challenges in other f ields of business. During the strategy period, Digia is ambitiously seeking to do even bet ter in all subareas of responsibility (E, S and G). Digia develops targets and their monitoring in collaboration with its subsid- iaries, aiming for a unif ied monitoring model for the entire Group, which is particularly important for the company growing through acquisitions. The focus areas, objectives and key metrics for Digia’s sustainability in the 2023–2025 strategy period are described in the table below.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

EU Taxonomy

The European Green Deal is a European growth strategy aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of all citizens, making Europe climate-neutral by 2050, and protecting, conserving and enhancing the EU’s natural capital and biodiversity. The Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852) seeks to define standardised, science-based assessment criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. Advances in digitalisation, technology and energy efficiency will play a major role in achieving this goal. The information and communication sector is constantly growing – and so, too, is its share of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, information and communications technology has the potential to contribute to the mitigation of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in other sectors, such as by providing solutions to facilitate decision-making and thereby enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or other positive actions to mitigate climate change and its impacts.

Taxonomy eligibility in 2024

Digia’s field of business is to develop IT solutions and engage in related projects, maintenance and consulting. Digia has identified taxonomy-eligible activities on the basis of technical descriptions. With regard to climate change mitigation, Digia’s operations are categorised as Activity 8.2 (Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reductions) and Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities). In addition, the activities fall under category 4.1 (“Provision of data-driven IT/OT solutions and software”) in relation to the transition to a circular economy, as well as under category 4.1 (“Provision of data-driven IT/ OT solutions and software”) concerning the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources. Digia’s activities also contribute to activity 8.4 (“Software enabling the management of physical climate risks and adaptation to them”). Digia reports taxonomy-eligible net sales and expenses as climate change mitigation under Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities) and Activity 8.2 (Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reductions). However, for projects implemented in 2024, Digia does not report net sales for category 8.2. Digia’s assessment did not identify any taxonomy-eligible activities for other environmental objectives.

Taxonomy alignment in 2024

Digia has assessed its taxonomy-eligible activities on the basis of technical criteria. The assessment was carried out, by combining data from the supply chain with offering data. It verified that suppliers met the technical criteria and there was no significant harm done to other climate targets (Does Not Significant Harm, DNSH). The substantial contribution criteria for Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities) was assessed on the basis of material generated by supplier management. The datacentres used by Digia have signed the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, which meets the substantial contribution criterion “The activity has implemented all relevant practices listed as ‘expected practices’ in the most recent version of the European Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency”. The datacentres also ensured that the Global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants used in their cooling systems was a maximum of 675. The substantial contribution criteria for Activity 8.2 (Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reductions) were assessed on a project-by-project basis. The substantial contribution criteria were met if the project resulted in a solution that enabled a significant and demonstrable reduction in the customer’s GHG emissions and there was no alternative solution or technology on the market. Digia does not report taxonomy-eligible net sales for Activity 8.2 due to its annual variability. DNSH criteria apply to both activities. For climate change adaptation, they were assessed using a climate risk and vulnerability assessment with an assumed life span of more than ten years. This risk and vulnerability assessment included an assessment of the economic impacts of physical climate risks and an adaptation plan for significant risks. The risk assessments were based on a report by the IPCC AR (AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023). The scenarios used were level SSP1-2.6 for an optimistic assessment and level SSP5-8.5 for a pessimistic assessment. No significant risks were identified for either activity. The DNSH criteria for the transition to a circular economy were analysed by ensuring that datacentre equipment and its Environment ESG

lifecycle management processes meet the requirements of Directives 2009/125/EC, 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EU. The DNSH criterion ‘Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources’ for Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities) was verified by proving that, on the basis of the datacentre’s location and year of completion, its construction must have complied with an environmental permit procedure in which the impacts on water resources had been assessed. All of Digia’s business activities meet the minimum safeguards. The implementation of minimum safeguards was assessed on the basis of documentation and its practical application. The assessment verified compliance with ethical guidelines and OECD, UN and ILO guidelines. This verification covered the codes of conduct for both suppliers and Digia’s own workforce; quality, environmental and information security systems; risk management guidelines, cultural principles and the salary and remuneration manual; and guidelines for compliance, equality and non-discrimination. Due to the nature of its business operations, Digia estimates that the size of its taxonomy-aligned operations may vary significantly from year to year due to reasons such as variations in the demand for climate change-related, customer-specific solutions and changes in the supply chain.

Turnover KPI

The denominator of the turnover KPI (the key performance indicator for net sales) covers Digia’s total turnover, which is recognised in line with IFRS 15 (Note 3.2 to the Financial Statements). The numerator of the turnover KPI is the turnover from products or services related to taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities, including intangible assets, presented by taxonomy class. The table lists the turnover of activities classified under taxonomy Activity 8.1 based on analyses. Turnover from Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities) amounts to EUR 51,6 million which is 25,10 per cent of total turnover, comprising the taxonomy-aligned turnover. The key figure related to revenue is extracted on an accrual basis, and each transaction has only one taxonomy classification, which eliminates the risk of double counting.

OpEx KPI

The denominator of the OpEx KPI (key performance indicator for operational expenses) includes direct non-capitalised expenses related to R&D; expenses related to building renovations, short-term leases, maintenance and repairs; and other direct costs related to the daily maintenance of tangible assets.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

E1 – Climate change

Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes (GOV-3)

Both Digia’s long-term share-based incentive scheme for 2023–25 and its short-term target bonus scheme for 2024 include a sustainability target, which has a weighting of ten per cent in each scheme. The CO2 emission reduction component of the sustainability target has a weighting of 20 per cent. The emission reduction targets for the strategy period are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement E1-4 Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Digia’s sustainability-related remuneration is described in more detail in this Sustainability Statement General Disclosures under Disclosure Requirement GOV-3 Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes.

Transition plan for climate change mitigation (E1-1)

Digia set climate targets in conjunction with the publication of its strategy for 2023–2025: by 2025, Digia will reduce the entire value chain’s CO2 emissions by 60 per cent (compared to the 2019 baseline). However, the alignment of the strategy period’s emissions reduction target with the Paris Agreement has not been separately verified. Digia joined the Science Based Targets initiative in 2024 and will define its science-based climate targets during 2025. The baseline for the updated climate targets will be Digia’s 2023 carbon footprint calculation. A more detailed transition plan for climate change adaptation will also be drawn up during 2025 in conjunction with the setting of science-based targets, and this will be reported on in the 2025 Sustainability Statement. Due to the nature of Digia’s business, the company has not identified any risk of potential locked-in GHG emissions in its operations. Digia is not excluded from the EU’s Paris-aligned Benchmarks.

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)

Based on its double materiality assessment, Digia has not identified any significant business risks related to climate change. Climate change may pose a physical risk in the form of disruptions to global supply chains that may impact the availability of IT equipment. The company did not, therefore, consider it necessary to conduct a more detailed resilience or scenario analysis.

Description of the processes to identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1)

Digia has identified climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities as part of its double materiality assessment. This process is described in more detail in the Sustainability Statement General Disclosures under Disclosure Requirement IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities. With respect to climate change, Digia’s material impacts, risks and opportunities concern climate change mitigation and energy. Digia’s operations have negative impacts on climate change mitigation, because its own business and procurement generate emissions, as the data used to implement IT solutions consumes energy. Digia’s solutions can help to significantly improve its customers’ energy efficiency and reduce their carbon emissions. Helping customers to reduce their emissions with the aid of IT solutions creates both positive impacts and business opportunities related to climate change. Digia has not identified any significant business risks related to climate change. The company has identified a physical risk: as a result of climate change, global supply chains may be impacted by disruptions that could affect the availability of IT equipment. The assessment considered the resulting business risk to be very low for Digia.

Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation (E1-2)

Digia’s environmental policy is the company’s most important policy for climate change mitigation and adaptation. This policy helps to ensure that the environment is taken into account in all of the company’s operations, and thereby supports the achievement and fulfilment of environmental targets and requirements. The environmental policy sets out Digia’s policies on climate change mitigation, energy efficiency and the transition to renewable energy. The company’s own operations, including travel and procurement, are conducted in an energy- and material-efficient manner that generates the lowest possible emissions. Digia uses renewable energy whenever possible. The company’s environmental policy is based on compliance with national legislation and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as on the active monitoring and development of recommendations and practices applicable to the industry in which Digia operates. The environmental policy applies to the entire Group and has been approved by Digia’s Management Team. Its implementation is the responsibility of the Head of Sustainability and the sustainability team, and it is their task to steer and develop operative measures in collaboration with financial, legal and business units. Digia’s Management Team is responsible for supervising the policy. Digia’s environmental policy is publicly available on the company’s website. The environmental policy is supported by Digia’s Code of Conduct, which encourages environmentally friendly solutions both in business operations and the workplace environment, and expects contractors and partners to do the same. The Code of Conduct is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies. Digia’s ethical guidelines for its supply chain are contained in its Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Supplier programme, which are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S2-1 Policies related to value chain workers.

Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies (E1-3)

In accordance with Digia’s environmental policy, the company aims for its own operations (including travel and procurement) to be conducted in an energy- and material-efficient manner that generates the lowest possible emissions. Digia uses renewable energy whenever possible. The action that Digia takes to mitigate climate change is detailed below. These actions and their actual impacts will be updated during 2025 as the company prepares its transition plan.

Vehicles

Digia’s company car benefit is a discretionary benefit that may be given to employees who need a vehicle for their job or otherwise. The cars are owned by a leasing or financing company. In accordance with Digia’s vehicle policy, the company favours low-emission vehicles and sets a maximum emission limit for acquired vehicles on an annual basis.

Purchased energy

Digia aims to use zero-emission or renewable energy in its premises. As Digia leases its premises, the company is largely dependent on its landlords’ efforts to transition to zero-emission or renewable energy. At the end of 2024, Digia operated out of 11 locations in Finland, three permanent in Sweden and one in the Netherlands. In 2024, Digia decided to make changes in Helsinki: the company will reduce the size of its current headquarters, give up its lease on another set of smaller premises in Helsinki and move into new premises in central Helsinki in early 2025. In addition to being smaller in size, the new premises will use carbon-neutral electricity. The combined effect will have a significant positive impact on reducing the carbon footprint of Digia’s own operations. According to Digia’s assessment, this change will result in an around 50 per cent reduction in emissions from business premises in Helsinki, which equates to a reduction of approximately 138 tCO2 eq. The need for changes at other locations will be examined when existing leases are nearing their end. Digia actively seeks to influence its landlords, so as to ensure the use of zero-emission energy (electricity, heating and cooling) on its premises. Thanks to an increase in hybrid work, the company has already been able to reduce the size of its premises and renovate the remainder to better serve the requirements of hybrid work and creating a sense of community.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Purchased goods and services

In order to reduce emissions from procurement, Digia is developing its supplier management to enable the collection of primary emissions data from suppliers. The company’s goal is to maintain active dialogue with its major suppliers in order to ensure that they are committed to reducing emissions in their own operations. At the same time, Digia is seeking other opportunities to reduce emissions through either a reduction in purchases or changes in suppliers. To support supplier management, Digia has developed a Supplier Code of Conduct that is based on its own Code of Conduct and includes an environmental perspective. Subcontractors are contractually obliged to adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct, and the company’s goal is to extend the code to all procurements throughout Digia’s value chain. Further information about subcontracting and supply chain management is available in this Sustainability Statement in section S2 Workers in the value chain.

Capital goods and upstream leased assets

For IT equipment and phones, Digia aims to ensure that devices are properly recycled after the leasing period, so that either the equipment itself or its raw materials are reused. More information is available in this Sustainability Statement in section E5 – Resource use and circular economy.

Fuel and energy-related activities

Digia’s indirect energy-related emissions will decrease as the company transitions to broader use of zero-emission or renewable energy at its premises. The electrification of the company’s leasing fleet will also reduce indirect emissions related to fuel.

Business travel and employee commuting

Digia personnel are encouraged to favour public transport and avoid unnecessary travel. Emissions from commuting have decreased in tandem with the rising popularity of remote work. When selecting new premises, Digia also aims to ensure that its locations are easily accessible by public transport. The company also offers company bicycles as personnel benefits. The aforementioned actions do not require significant operating or capital expenditure, and the company’s ability to implement such actions is not therefore dependent on the availability and allocation of resources.

Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation (E1-4)

All operators must reduce their emissions in order to mitigate climate change. Many of Digia’s stakeholders, such as customers and investors, also expect the company to commit to climate action and emission reductions. The goal for Digia’s 2023–2025 strategy period is to reduce CO2 emissions (Scope 1–3) by 60 per cent by 2025 (compared to the 2019 baseline). The progress towards the target is monitored on an annual basis, and individual actions are implemented continuously throughout the year. The target has been pursued systematically, with the largest reduction planned to be achieved in the final year. However, the alignment of the strategy period’s emission reduction target with the Paris Agreement has not been separately verified. The target setting process involved Digia’s internal stakeholders. In 2019, Digia’s carbon footprint was 3,055 tCO2 eq. It covered the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of the company’s then-current Finnish operations, as well as selected procurements and other Scope 3 emissions. Scope 2 was calculated using the market-based method and scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 89 per cent of total emissions in 2019. The baseline year for the target was chosen as 2019 because it was Digia’s first year of CO2 calculations, and its emissions reflected typical operational activities within the chosen scope. Since then, Digia has expanded through, among other things, acquisitions. In order to align its targets, Digia has used two parallel boundaries for calculating its carbon emissions. The first boundary is based on that of the 2019 calculation, while the second boundary has expanded the calculation to cover all of Digia’s locations and all material procurements at Group level. In Disclosure Requirement E1-6 Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions, the reported emissions are based on the broader calculation boundary.

Decarbonisation methods are described in Disclosure Requirement E1-3 Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies. These actions and their actual impacts will be updated during 2025 as the company prepares its transition plan. Digia’s energy consumption covers fuel consumption related to the company’s leased cars as well as total energy consumption of the offices. The energy producer and production method have been identified by the landlords. The fuel consumption of the leased cars is non-renewable. Energy from renewable sources includes electricity for the offices and district heating and cooling. In case where information about the energy source was unavailable, the division was made based on the same principle as in Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculations, meaning the energy was allocated by default among different energy sources. Energy consumption and sources have not been verified by anyone other than the assurance provider.

Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions (E1-6)

Digia calculates its GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The emissions calculations cover Scopes 1–3 as per the GHG Protocol, and the operational control criterion has been employed. Since 2023, Digia’s emissions calculations have covered the entire Group. The company has retroactively revised its 2023 emissions calculations. These changes have been described earlier in this report: see section BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances. The emissions presented in this Disclosure Requirement for 2023 and 2024 have been calculated in accordance with the same boundary. Digia’s scope 1–3 emissions have not been verified by anyone other than the assurance provider. Scope 1 emissions include fuel-related emissions from leasing vehicles used by Digia in its discretionary company car benefit. 2024 emissions have been calculated using the emissions factor provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Scope 2 emissions consist of the energy consumption (heating, cooling and electricity) of Digia’s premises. In order to calculate market-based emissions, Digia has collected data from landlords concerning the total amount of energy consumed, as well as data about energy companies and their products. The emissions factors used are specific emissions factors provided by energy companies. When necessary, the district heating emissions calculations for premises in Finland have used the energy method value provided by Local Power’s publicly available district heating emissions calculator. 28 per cent of market-based energy consumption is verified with guarantees of origin or renewable energy certificates. The calculation of location-based emissions used country-specific average emission factors for the energy consumed. Digia reported Scope 3 emissions for upstream emissions in categories 1–3 and 5–8. The calculations employed both consumption-based and activity-based methods.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities (E1-9)

Digia has decided to omit the information specified in E1-9 from its first Sustainability Statement, as per ESRS 1 Appendix C: List of phased-in Disclosure Requirements.

E5 Resource use and circular economy

Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities related to resource use and the circular economy (IRO-1)

Significant impacts, risks and opportunities associated with resource use and the circular economy were identified as part of Digia’s double materiality assessment. The double materiality assessment assessed the significance of the circular economy theme with the aid of existing customer interviews and annual customer surveys. They revealed expectations for Digia’s approach to the circular economy. The assessment determined that, as an IT services company, Digia’s own operations have a limited impact on the circular economy, yet the company can always favour circular economy solutions in its own operations. The company has a limited overall picture of value chain impacts, and no primary or secondary resources are used in its core business activities. For example, although Digia has an IT equipment recycling contract with a partner, the company does not have full visibility towards the end of the value chain. Digia’s circular-economy procurements currently focus on the purchase of recyclable office furniture and IT equipment (such as laptops, monitors and phones) and leasing contracts for cars and bicycles. Digia’s biggest impact on the circular economy occurs through its customers. The growing pressure to reduce resource use creates business opportunities, allowing Digia to support its customers in developing resource efficiency and other business transformations. Through its data utilisation solutions, Digia can help its customers to, for example, digitise, optimise and boost the efficiency of their operations. Although demand for circular-economy services will be lower in the short term, the economic value of these solutions is expected to grow significantly over the long term. Digia does not have a separate circular economy function. The company’s business units work with their customers to identify new opportunities for solutions that will promote a circular economy.

Consumption-based emissions factors utilised the WWF’s climate calculator, DEFRA, the report “Carbon footprint and raw material requirement of public procurement and household consumption in Finland – results from the ENVIMAT model” (15/2019), and the Julia 2030 project’s publications (Dahlbo et al. 2011). The consumption-based calculations are based on the Digia Group’s Financial Statements. For selected suppliers, Digia has also utilised the latest publicly available emissions data for that supplier, such as an annual report or sustainability statement. The emissions reported by a supplier for their entire value chain are divided by total net sales in order to obtain a supplier-specific consumption-based emissions factor. This supplier-specific, consumption-based emissions factor has primarily been calculated for those suppliers whose business is based on the production of services and who report their emissions data for Scopes 1–3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Digia notes that, as its information is generally based on the previous reporting period, the data is not always completely up-to-date and the company is seeking to obtain more primary emissions data from its suppliers.

In its activity-based calculations, Digia has sought to identify the most significant suppliers in its value chain and to use primary data obtained from those suppliers in its calculations. Primary data obtained from suppliers has been used in the emissions calculations for cloud and datacentre services in Category 1 (Purchased goods and services) and the collection of emissions data for phone subscriptions. For Category 2 (Capital goods) emissions, Digia has collected data on the emissions generated by the equipment it uses (laptops, docks, monitors and phones) directly from its suppliers. A consumption-based emissions factor has been used for other equipment purchases. Category 3 emissions calculations (Fuel and energy-related activities) utilise emissions factors published by the DEFRA and IPCC, while activity-based emissions have been calculated on the basis of the amount of energy consumed and the amount of fuel in litres. In its emissions calculations for Category 5 (Waste), Digia has utilised an estimate of municipal solid waste published by Helsinki Region Environmental Services in 2019. This publication contains an estimate of the amount of waste generated by public administration offices per kilo per person-work-year. The emissions factors used in waste calculations are taken from a 2011 study carried out as part of the Julia 2030 project. Emissions for Category 6 (Business travel) have been calculated on an activity basis for specific modes of travel. Emissions from business-related road, rail and air journeys have been calculated using reported kilometres. DEFRA emissions factors have been used for all modes of transport except trains. VR’s emissions factor for passenger traffic has been used for train travel in Finland. Other travel-related emissions have been calculated on a consumption basis.

The calculation of emissions in Category 7 (Employee commuting) are based emission factors that have been customised for Digia. Category 7 includes both emissions from Digia employees’ commuting and emissions from remote work, both of which have utilised data obtained from Digia personnel via a survey. Emissions from commuting have been estimated with the aid of surveys carried out in 2020 and 2023, which asked Digia employees about the average length of their commute and their means of travel. This data was used to calculate the average emissions from commuting, using the emission factors published by DEFRA for various modes of transport. Emissions from remote work were based on a 2023 personnel survey that determined how often employees worked remotely or at the office. The results of this survey were used to estimate the ratio of office days to remote-work days in relation to the total number of working days per year. Emissions from remote work were calculated using DEFRA’s emissions factor, which includes emissions from lighting, heating and the energy consumption of equipment. The data for emissions in Category 8 (Downstream leased assets) includes Digia’s leasing phones, for which emission data has been obtained directly from the supplier.

6 per cent of Digia’s Scope 3 emissions in 2024 have been calculated using primary data obtained from either the actual suppliers or other suppliers in the value chain. The calculations omit Scope 3 emissions in Category 4 (Upstream transportation and distribution), as the company has not identified any significant emission sources in this category. Downstream categories 9–15 have also been omitted, as the company has not identified any significant downstream emissions in its operations.# Policies related to resource use and circular economy (E5-1)

Compliance with Digia’s Code of Conduct and responsible way of working are integral to the company’s strategy and instrumental to its business success. Digia encourages the use of environmentally friendly solutions in its own operations and workplaces, and expects its subcontractors and partners to do likewise. The Code of Conduct is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies. Digia’s Code of Conduct is supplemented by the company’s environmental policy, which is based on compliance with legislation and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the active monitoring and development of recommendations and practices applicable to the company’s operating sector. The environmental policy covers Digia’s own operations and environmental responsibilities; promoting the circular economy, recycled resources and sustainable sourcing; supporting the eco-renewal of society; and monitoring and communicating environmental impacts. It applies to the Digia Group, but the company also expects value chain operators to commit to environmental responsibility. The policy has been approved by the Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024 Board of Directors’ Report Corporate governance statement Consolidated financial statements Notes to the consolidated financial statements Parent company’s financial statements Sustainability statement Management Team, who is also responsible for its supervision. Its implementation is the responsibility of the Head of Sustainability and the sustainability team, and it is their task to steer and develop operative measures in collaboration with financial, legal and business units. It is a permanent policy that will be updated as necessary. The environmental policy is publicly available on Digia’s website and was last updated in 2024.

Resource wisdom is the core principle in Digia’s software design. To mobilise policies among personnel, Digia has written a Green Code Manual and is providing training on the topic. The Green Code Manual supplements the company’s environmental policy and provides employees with concrete guidance on how to use green code. The sustainability team is responsible for its implementation, which includes developing operative measures in collaboration with a variety of experts. In addition, the company is continually seeking new practices that will promote energy efficiency, including participation in research projects. Digia delivers on its environmental responsibility in the everyday work of its workplace community, by operating in balance with the climate and carrying capacity of nature. The company monitors the sustainability of its procurements with the aid of its Sustainable Supplier programme, which is covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S2-1 Policies related to value chain workers. Digia encourages its suppliers to utilise recycled materials and increase their use of secondary resources.

Actions and resources related to resource use and circular economy (E5-2)

Digia wants to be resource-wise by utilising resources prudently in both its own operations and customer work, and by developing its resource-wise and green coding activities. According to Tieke’s Guide to ecologically sustainable public software procurement , the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector’s emissions are one of the fastest growing individual sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Green coding practices provide a way of limiting these emissions. This theme was actively discussed with customers over the course of the year. The company has actively participated in forums and discussions with green coding themes, and has provided educational institutions with training on the topic. Digia has also participated in research projects through which it gathers additional information and knowledge on the subject.

Data plays a central role in the circular economy. Increasing requirements highlight the need for more efficient use of resources, which can be facilitated by digital solutions. Digia has also identified regulatory pressures, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation , Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM ), which will require companies to have an ever-increasing understanding of – and control over – their supply chains. Digia has profound experience in, for example, the implementation of a variety of ecosystem platforms, and the company discusses potential platform solutions for the circular economy with its customers. Digia has also been working to raise awareness of current sustainability regulations among its employees, and the circular economy and resource efficiency are key themes. Discussions with customers have shown that Digia’s internal competence in these areas still requires some improvement. In order to support the increasing needs of its customers in circular economy themes, the company wants to strengthen the relevant expertise of both its experts and management through training, briefings and communications. The implementation of these measures does not entail significant operational or capital expenditures. More information is available in the Disclosure Requirement EU-taxonomy.

Targets related to resource use and circular economy (E5-3)

Digia has not yet set any targets for resource use or the circular economy, as the company wants to ensure that they are based on thorough research and analyses that are still ongoing. Targets will be set during 2025 in conjunction with planning for the next strategy period. Digia will use its analyses to define an operating model, set targets and establish monitoring practices for this area as well.

Anticipated financial effects from resource use and circular economy-related impacts, risks and opportunities (E5-6)

As part of its double materiality assessment, Digia identified resource use and the circular economy (E5) as one of its material topics, and in particular due to its significance for future business. The company is engaging in proactive dialogue with customers on this topic, and will be setting more detailed objectives during 2025. Digia’s business opportunities in this area are currently mid- to long-term, and the financial impacts of these will be clarified as customer demand evolves. The company does not identify any financial risks related to resource use or the circular economy.

Social responsibility S1 – Own workforce

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)

According to the double materiality assessment, Digia’s material impacts, risks and opportunities relating to its own workforce concern working conditions, equality and providing equal opportunities for all. Digia is heavily dependent on its experts, which underlines the importance of employee wellbeing, workload management and flexible working hours. These experts are employed by Digia, and are geographically located in Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands. Although the majority have full-time, permanent contracts, Digia also has some fixed-term and part-time employees. Digia reported gender in the categories women, men and other. Employee characteristics are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-6 Characteristics of the undertaking’s employees. Digia supplements its own workforce with experts from a subcontracting network that mainly consists of independent entrepreneurs or specialists provided by third parties. Subcontracting is covered in greater detail later on in this Sustainability Statement in section S2 Workers in the value chain. A diverse and continually evolving range of talented, permanent employees is a prerequisite for business development. The potential negative impacts on Digia’s own workforce include experiences of discrimination or inappropriate treatment, workload issues, and challenges related to wellbeing and not being able to be oneself at work. Other challenges related to the workplace community have also been identified as potential negative impacts, such as gender bias in the IT industry and the unequal inclusion of certain personnel groups. As Digia becomes more international, inclusive policies, language skills, seamless collaboration and functional operational models will become increasingly important in these diverse cultural environments.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Sustainability statement

The positive impacts on Digia’s own workforce include providing meaningful and challenging work for employees and supporting their wellbeing at work and continuous personal development. Flexible working hours, employee benefits and support for health and wellbeing can promote employee wellbeing. The workloads associated with knowledge work are a common challenge in the IT sector. Challenges related to coping and wellbeing can lead to an increase in absenteeism. This may be concentrated on certain business areas and impact financial performance. Obtaining the required competencies is also an ongoing challenge. Workforce availability and retention have also been identified as a business risk. The crux of Digia’s personnel strategy is that sustainable growth is created by people who enjoy their work. Digia’s HR strategy has three guiding perspectives that seek to achieve the best possible balance: competence management, cost competitiveness, and an employee-oriented culture. An appealing workplace community is an important enabler for Digia’s growth, and being an attractive employer is also a business opportunity. Offering employees the chance to do meaningful work that leads to personal development in a healthy environment will make the company an attractive employer. A sustainable and ethical approach plays a key role in attracting young talents in particular. A systematically evolving leadership and work culture helps to create an excellent employee experience. Digia is therefore focusing on supporting diversity and engaging all members of the workplace community. Meaningful, challenging work that leads to personal development will provide employees with positive experiences of success and learning. Every Digia employee has the chance to engage in lifelong learning and development, which helps to increase the value of their expertise during their term of employment. Strategic growth also leads to an increase in the number of people with connections to the company. The selected strategic HR focus areas described above, along with the social responsibility targets that support them, are key elements in both engaging existing personnel and attracting new talent. Although Digia has not yet drawn up a transition plan for reducing negative climate impacts, the company has not identified any negative climate-related impacts or business risks that would have a material impact on its own workforce. However, environmental responsibility and its development also require the IT sector to analyse its own environmental impacts and enhance its operations through the development of new operating models and technologies. This may also create some new business opportunities, jobs and capabilities for Digia. The overall impact will, however, be fairly minor from the perspective of the company’s own operations. The company is resource-wise, and promotes energy efficiency with the aid of green coding practices. More information about green coding practices is provided in this Sustainability Statement in section E5 Resource use and circular economy. Digia sees business opportunities in the development of data, analytics and automation for managing environmental impacts, as well as in digital processes and practices for improving the energy efficiency of companies. The green transition will encourage the development and use of new technologies that can help us reduce waste and optimise energy use, such as artificial intelligence and automation. This will in turn strengthen demand for data, analytics and automation, and can create new jobs. At the same time, it will provide opportunities for retraining current employees, and particularly in the fields of AI and automation. Due to the company’s business model and geographical location, there is no significant risk of child or forced labour in Digia’s own operations or among its own workforce. Digia conducted a human rights survey to determine the demographic factors of its personnel and any potential risks connected with them. The survey indicates that the company is able to provide equal physical working conditions for its employees, which is also characteristic of the industry. Digia also conducted an equality and non-discrimination survey to identify any groups that may be more susceptible to non-physical adverse effects. Employees belonging to language and other national minorities may face challenges in terms of inclusion and equal opportunities. The proportion of women in the IT sector is also significantly lower than that of men. The everyday experiences of different genders and age groups may also vary. The company works on the principle that it is possible to continuously improve people’s experiences of equality and inclusion.

Policies related to own workforce (S1-1)

Code of Conduct

The most important policy governing Digia’s own workforce is Digia’s Code of Conduct. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is essential to the company’s business success. Accordingly, all Digia personnel, including senior executives and the Board of Directors, are responsible for complying with these principles. The code applies to all of Digia’s employees, subcontractors and network. The Code of Conduct is permanent in nature, but it is updated whenever necessary and approved by the company’s Management Team and Board of Directors. The Code of Conduct is publicly available in both Finnish and English. It is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies. Digia complies with internationally-recognised human rights, labour rights and standards (UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN Global Compact, and ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work), and applies them to all employees. The Code of Conduct prohibits the use of child or forced labour. Digia’s Code of Conduct is complemented by more detailed guidelines, policies and operating principles in various sub-areas. For Digia’s own workforce, these include the company’s cultural principles, human rights commitment, equality and non-discrimination plan, early intervention model, guidelines on inappropriate behaviour, collective agreement, salary and remuneration manual, and hybrid work model. At Group level, Digia’s operations are guided by its cultural principles, human rights commitment and Code of Conduct. The other guidelines and policies presented in this Disclosure Requirement apply to Digia Plc and Digia Finland Ltd. The Group’s other subsidiaries may also have company-specific policies for their own workforce. Development work to harmonise Digia’s policies and international operating model is currently ongoing. No significant changes were made to the Code of Conduct during the 2024 reporting year.

Cultural principles

Digia’s cultural principles – learning, sharing, courage and professional pride – underlie everything the company does. They were created in collaboration with Digia personnel, with the aim of helping both individuals and the workplace community as a whole to succeed and evolve in their work. The principles seek to promote wellbeing and reduce any potential negative impacts. Although the cultural principles are a Group-level policy, they are implemented on a practical and individual level. The principles have been approved by the Management Team.

Equality and non-discrimination plan

The equality and non-discrimination plan outlines actions to make Digia an increasingly inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves. The plan also seeks to reduce any potential negative impacts on minorities. It is important for the company to ensure the equal treatment of all employees regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity or other characteristics. Digia does not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind. In accordance with the guidelines on inappropriate behaviour, all inappropriate behaviour is addressed as soon as it becomes known. The equality and non-discrimination plan is based on the results of an equality and non-discrimination survey of Digia personnel. The plan is drawn up by the equality and non-discrimination team, and the action plan is updated at least once per strategy period. The current plan was last updated in 2023, and has been approved by the Management Team. The equality and non-discrimination team is responsible for implementing the action plan and the Management Team is responsible for supervising it. During the current strategy period (2023–2025), the plan’s focus areas are an inclusive culture and psychological safety, making the use of English commonplace, increasing the proportion of women working at Digia, and increasing inclusivity and career opportunities for women. Digia also has a diversity tribe whose members handle and discuss the topic, share information and learn new things. The Code of Conduct and the equality and non-discrimination plan address various forms of discrimination and the reasons behind them.

Leadership principles

The aim of Digia’s leadership principles is to support and guide everyday management and promote wellbeing. These principles ensure that management at Digia is consistent and supports the company’s values and goals. The leadership principles have been approved by Digia’s Management team, and the HR Director is responsible for overseeing them.The implementation of these principles is overseen by supervisors and the HR team in daily operations.

Early intervention model

The early intervention model aims to ensure that employees receive the support they need if they encounter any problems at work. Examples of this may include increased absenteeism, difficulty in carrying out their work, or problems interacting with customers or colleagues. The early intervention model also involves providing long periods of sick leave or family leave when necessary, and creating harmonised practices that lower the threshold for returning to work. The model has been approved by the HR Director. It is implemented by supervisors and the HR team, and supervised by the HR Director.

Guidelines on inappropriate behaviour

Digia has established an internal policy for addressing inappropriate behaviour and harassment. Supervisors and employee representatives have received training that will help them to intervene in these kinds of situations. All Digia employees play their part in creating a functional and psychologically safe workplace. The primary means of addressing these issues is to arrange a discussion between the parties involved, facilitated by HR if necessary. This policy has been approved by the HR Director. It is implemented by supervisors and the HR team, and supervised by the HR Director.

If other reporting methods do not feel safe, Digia employees can also report harassment and inappropriate behaviour through the Whistleblowing channel. For more information about Digia’s Whistleblowing channel and related policies, see the Disclosure Requirements G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies and G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery.

Collective agreement

Digia has its own collective agreement, which applies to the employees of Digia Plc and Digia Finland Ltd. Digia negotiated its own collective agreement, initially with employee representatives and later with employee unions. When creating its own agreement, Digia drew on the general collective agreement for the IT service sector, which it had previously followed. The scope of the collective agreement and any limitations have been reported in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-8 Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue. The collective agreement has been approved by the Management Team. It is implemented by supervisors and the HR team, and supervised by the HR Director and employee representatives.

Salary and remuneration manual

Digia’s salary and remuneration manual collates policies related to salaries and remuneration. The manual describes the general principles governing remuneration and total compensation, Digia’s salary models, competence levels, the salary review process and salary management. The manual also answers frequently asked questions. It aims to increase transparency and understanding of salaries and remuneration as a whole, and to support good salary management. The salary and remuneration manual has been approved by the Compensation Committee and the Management Team. It is implemented by supervisors and the HR team, and supervised by the HR Director.

Hybrid work model

Digia has a hybrid work model. Working at Digia should be smooth and flexible, and should nurture a sense of community. Although most work is site-independent, employees separately agree on remote working methods with their supervisor. The hybrid work model has been agreed on and approved by the Management Team, and is implemented by the HR and Office teams. Remote work permits are controlled by the HR team and CSO Office.

Human rights commitment

In 2022, Digia conducted a survey of human rights risks and impacts related to the company’s business. This analysis was carried out in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and took into account both actual and potential human rights risks and impacts. Digia’s human rights impacts on its own workforce and human rights impacts arising from Digia’s most significant procurements were both selected for special examination. In 2023, the company deepened this analysis by extending the mapping of human rights risks and impacts to Digia’s entire value chain (own operations, supply chain, customers).

The actual or potential human rights risks identified in Digia’s value chain were:
* the right to health and safety
* the right to non-discrimination
* the right to decent work
* the elimination of labour exploitation and forced labour
* the right to organise and collective bargaining
* the right to privacy.

Digia released the company’s human rights commitment on the basis of this survey. In accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Digia has committed to respecting human rights in accordance with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The company adheres to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, including freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour, the effective abolition of child labour, the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation, and a safe and healthy working environment. Digia’s approach to human rights is also reflected in its commitment to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.

Digia’s human rights commitment is publicly available on the company’s website, and also includes processes and systems to manage any identified human rights risks. The commitment has been approved by the Management Team. The HR team is responsible for its implementation, and the HR Director and General Counsel for its supervision. Processes for managing identified human rights risks include the early intervention model, the equality and non-discrimination plan, safety and security policies, and the guidelines on inappropriate behaviour.

Employees also have the opportunity to address any issues that affect them via open internal communications on topical issues, personnel surveys and briefings in accordance with the annual calendar, and one-on-one conversations with supervisors.

The company’s operations and processes are developed in collaboration with shop stewards and employee representatives from the occupational safety organisation, the equality and non-discrimination team and the growth team. Digia’s Code of Conduct training includes training on non-discrimination policies and procedures. In order to address any negative human rights impacts as soon as they occur, Digia monitors workloads and stress, key health indicators, feedback and the results of the personnel surveys, as well as any cases of inappropriate behaviour and any reports received via the Whistleblowing channel. HR and employee representatives assess the functionality of these processes from a variety of perspectives, such as wellbeing, internal career opportunities and equal pay.

Preventing accidents in the workplace

Digia has policies for preventing accidents in the workplace. Operations are planned on the basis of both regular workplace surveys that are conducted by occupational healthcare and the annually approved occupational health and safety action plans. These action plans cover any identified health risks, and also contain measures related to health checks, ergonomics and early intervention. Location-specific workplace surveys include analyses of the risks and problems associated with working environments, methods and conditions. Emergency first aid training helps to ensure that each site has sufficient people with first aid skills. The HR team monitors occupational accident statistics as part of its operational monitoring and development.

The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation

Digia is committed to supporting different groups of employees through a variety of policies. The company supports the employment of people of different ages and at various stages of their careers, for example, by hiring trainees, recent graduates, career changers and those without extensive IT experience. Digia wants to provide newcomers to the IT sector with a clear career path towards the most demanding expert tasks. Digia also hires professionals over the age of 60, offers flexible tasks, and runs the Konkarit (Veterans) programme for employees approaching retirement age.

In 2024, Digia signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), which were drawn up by the gender equality organisation UN Women and the UN Global Compact. The WEPs are seven principles that provide guidance and means for companies to promote gender equality. Digia is committed to creating a working environment in which everyone can feel valued and included. Digia also demonstrated visible and concrete support for sexual and gender minorities through Pride partnership.

Digia has policies to ensure that the recruitment, training and promotion of employees is based on qualifications, skills and experience. This topic is covered in the salary and remuneration manual, which openly describes career paths, task families and competence levels. The information is used to support the development of both competence and salary structures. This aims to ensure that all Digia employees have the chance to develop and advance in their careers without being placed at a disadvantage on the basis of their age or gender. Digia has established salary management guidelines for supervisors.

Sustainability statement# Digia’s standardised salary review process aims to increase fairness, equality and non-discrimination during salary reviews. The policies governing Digia’s own workforce are available on the company’s intranet. Some of the policies are also publicly available on the company’s website. These policies are reviewed during the onboarding programme for new recruits and in Code of Conduct training. In addition to e-learning, the onboarding programme includes a general “Get to know Digia” section that also covers the policies related to Digia’s own workforce. The HR Director, who is also a member of the Management Team, is responsible for promoting and safeguarding the interests of employees.

Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about impacts (S1-2)

Digia has several channels and means of directly contacting employees and their representatives. These means and channels include:

a personnel survey of Digia companies in F inland, 1–2 times per year
targeted studies as required
Digia’s equality and non-discrimination survey of companies in F inland, every 2–3 years
regular target and learning discussions, and their associated feedback discussions
routine management and one-on-one conversations with supervisors
project and team feedback.

Elected employee representatives, such as shop stewards and members of the growth team and health and safety organisation, seek improvements by engaging in continuous dialogue within their area of authorisation. Employees’ views are taken into account in areas such as Digia’s cultural focus, strategic HR choices and sustainability targets. Shop stewards and other employee representatives from the growth team, the occupational safety commit tee and the equality and non-discrimination team meet regularly. The topics covered include legislative mat ters, Digia’s strategy, and topic-specif ic actions and indicators. The occupational safety commit tee pays particular at tention to wellbeing measures, the occupational health and safety action plan, and the equality and non-discrimination plan. The equality and non-discrimi- nation plan is also monitored by the equality and non-discrimination team. One-of f surveys will be sent out when required.

Digia’s companies in F inland arrange personnel brief ings four times a year alongside each business unit’s own brief ings and team meetings. One-on-one target and development discussions are held at least twice a year in a process-driven manner. Supervisors also hold additional one-on-one discussions with their team members as required. The company always aims to provide communications and conduct surveys in both F innish and English. Operative responsibility for communications is held by Digia’s HR Director, who is a member of the Management Team.

Digia assesses the ef fectiveness of its communications by monitoring the results and response rates of its surveys and following other internal metrics, such as feedback and the level of activity in dif ferent communication channels. The goal is to create an excellent employee experience, of which the employee net promoter score (eNPS) is the main indicator. The background variables for the personnel survey and the equality and non-discrimination survey are gender, age and role. By gathering these background variables, more detailed information may be gained about the experiences of dif ferent employee groups, such as young people, those approaching retirement age, women and other genders. The equality and non-discrimination survey is a way of investigating experiences of inclusiveness, discrimination and sexual harassment in a variety of everyday situations, such as teamwork, recruitment, salary decisions, and career and competence development opportunities.

Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns (S1-3)

Digia is commit ted to taking action based on due diligence processes, so that the company does not cause or contribute to any adverse human rights impacts in its business activities. Digia encourages and directs supervisors to have regular and open conversations with their team members. Target and development discussions are conducted 1–2 times per year according to the specif ied process. Other supervisors may also initiate discussions on a needs basis, and they play a key role in addressing and resolving challenges associated with coping or performance at work and issues concerning conf licts or inappropriate behaviour. Digia has an early intervention model so that any situations in which an employee may need additional support can be identif ied as soon as possible. The model aims to ensure that supervisors can provide the necessary support and assistance before problems escalate, thereby promoting wellbeing and coping at work. Supervisors also receive automatic wellbeing alarms that direct them to hold early intervention discussions. If any challenges with wellbeing or coping arise, Digia will determine what kind of support the employee needs in the workplace. This support may be a change in workload, working hours or tasks, or competence development in the form of personalised training, coaching or mentoring. Digia does not tolerate inappropriate behaviour or discrimination, and any incidents that come to light will be resolved in accordance with the remediation model for inappropriate behaviour. If any inappropriate behaviour occurs, the primary means of addressing the issue is to arrange a discussion between the parties involved, facilitated by a supervisor and HR if necessary. The appropriate action and follow-up measures will then be determined. If other reporting methods do not feel safe, Digia employees can also report harassment and inappro- priate behaviour anonymously through the Whistleblowing channel. Digia’s Whistleblowing channel is available to all employees on both its public and internal websites. Instructions for using the channel are also easy to f ind, and employees have been informed of its existence via internal communications. The channel is also covered during Code of Conduct training. The process for handling reports is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery. Digia encourages open dialogue. Employees can raise their concerns and needs during company-level and unit-specif ic HR brief ings and meetings, via internal discussion channels, at team meetings, and during one-on-one discussions with their supervisors. Communications with the company’s own workforce will be covered further in Disclosure Requirement S1-2 Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about impacts. The annual personnel survey gives Digia personnel the opportunity to provide open verbal feedback. Digia commissions its own survey on equality and non-discrimination issues at least once per strategy period. Themed surveys on current issues are sent to personnel as required – the hybrid work and AI competence surveys, for instance. Digia has proactively developed a variety of feedback channels through which supervisors and other personnel can provide feedback on performance, success and development targets to their team members and colleagues. Digia’s feedback culture has been systematically developed through continuous improvement. The company has a target-linked annual process to assess feedback at regular intervals. To support the exchange of everyday feedback, Digia uses tools such as Workday’s peer-to-peer feedback model, and Teams’ Praise channel for sending positive feedback. In accordance with its process, the HR team conducts an internal, biannual analysis of any reports and cases of inappropriate behaviour and discrimination, including how they were handled and resolved. These incidents will also be discussed with employee representatives, the occupational health and safety organisation and the equality and non-discrimination team to ensure that both the remediation model and active procedures to address inappropriate behaviour are being developed. Digia receives very few reports, but each one is taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.

Taking action on material impacts on own workforce, and approaches to mitigating material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to own workforce, and ef fectiveness of those actions (S1-4)

Digia’s measures to manage personnel-related material impacts, risks and opportunities are part of its broader HR strategy and sustainability programme. Digia has conducted a comprehensive human rights survey to identify any human rights risks and impacts throughout its value chain, including on its own workforce. A human rights commitment has been published on the basis of the results. The human rights analysis and commitment are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce. Digia takes a broad range of measures to prevent negative material impacts on the company’s own workforce and to promote positive ones. The company focuses on maintaining the working capacity of its employees through day-to-day management and personalised measures and f lexibility. Enhancing and developing Digia’s working culture, operating methods and leadership creates wellbeing, which in turn helps to maintain working capacity. Wellbeing and working capacity are also supported in a targeted manner with the aid of comprehensive occupational healthcare services, f lexible working hours and arrange- ments, an early intervention process, and a variety mental health services and support methods. This theme of employee-wellbeing is broadly considered, and wellbeing issues are communicated in a diverse manner.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Training sessions and discussions are organised in cooperation with experts from occupational healthcare and pension companies. Digia systematically supports the wellbeing of its employees by developing everyday management skills, self-direction and personal competence in the spirit of continuous improvement. The company wants to increase its employees’ capacity to meet the evolving expectations of working life, and therefore invests in developing clear objectives and a good feedback culture. In 2024, the main competence development targets were related to artificial intelligence and leadership. At an organisational level, Digia continued to develop its processes for giving feedback and setting targets and learning objectives. Digia is aiming to strengthen feelings of inclusivity by regularly asking employees about their experiences in the equality and non-discrimination survey, updating the equality and non-discrimination plan on the basis of this survey, and addressing any inappropriate behaviour. Programmes are offered to employees at different stages of their careers, for example Konkarit-programme as retirement age approaches. Diversity is supported through internal communications and Digia’s public Pride partnership. Digia promotes career opportunities for women and seeks to increase the proportion of female employees by providing supervisors with salary training, and by analysing and developing equal pay at an organisational level. This theme has been actively promoted through Digia’s participation in the Women in Tech and Mimmit koodaa (Women Code) networks. In 2024, the company conducted an inclusiveness assessment of Digia’s recruitment announcements.

Digia’s goal is to prevent negative impacts on employees with the aid of proactive measures and defined processes. Any questions or issues that are raised will be handled in accordance with the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce.

Challenges with workforce availability and retention have also been identified as a business risk. Both skilled in-house personnel and subcontracting are key success factors. Digia’s attractiveness as an employer is a business opportunity. The ability to provide meaningful work that leads to personal development in good working conditions is a way to attract potential employees to the company and experts to the subcontractor network. It also improves employee retention. Digia has also invested in collaboration with universities, and has actively participated in a variety of events. The company makes sure to read every job application thoroughly. Digia believes that creating a sense of community is both a significant success factor and an important part of providing meaningful work. One of the company’s main themes in 2024 was to strengthen its sense of community both virtually and in person. Teams have received support in creating their own policies for hybrid work and community practices, and events have also been organised for all office staff. Surveys, participation, representation in certain roles, open discussions and communications are all used to assess the effectiveness of this action. Engagement with the company’s own workforce is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-2 Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about impacts.

The impacts of Digia’s actions are monitored and measured annually using a broad range of internal and external metrics. Competence is monitored via feedback, the number of training hours, and a variety of targets. Inclusivity is monitored with the aid of the equality and non-discrimination survey and employee diversity data. The eNPS is the main metric for a sense of community. When it comes to wellbeing, sickness absences are monitored and particular attention is paid to absences related to mental health, which can be caused by a variety of psychological and emotional challenges, such as stress, fatigue or other problems that affect mental wellbeing. Digia has a comprehensive security and data protection process, which also covers the processing of personnel data. This ensures that the company’s own practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on its own workforce. Digia’s security management system complies with the international ISO 27001 standard for information security management. Training and communications ensure that personnel are familiar with the company’s Code of Conduct, commitments and policies, and are therefore able to comply with agreed processes and rules. The management of material impacts relating to Digia’s own workforce is the responsibility of the HR team, which consists of the HR Director, the Head of Sustainability and a broad variety of other HR experts. HR experts have also been integrated directly into business units, where they are part of the unit’s management team.

Digia supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: 4 Quality education, 5 Gender equality, 8 Decent work and economic growth, and 10 Reduced inequalities. Digia’s cultural principles are the foundation for everything the company does, and other policies, procedures and objectives help Digia to achieve these goals.

Targets related to managing material impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities (S1-5)

During the 2023–2025 strategy period, Digia will achieve the goals of its HR strategy through four selected focus areas: learning, goal-orientedness, wellbeing and a sense of community. Digia is continuously working to create a culture of lifelong learning, a caring workplace community, and a humane working day that is both efficient and goal-oriented yet also leaves a good mental footprint. The objectives described below have been set for the strategy period in order promote positive impacts on employees. They have been set for the end of 2025, and their progress will be actively monitored throughout the strategy period.

The employee net promoter score (eNPS) is the main indicator of personnel wellbeing. The target is to achieve growth of 35 per cent in Digia’s eNPS by 2025 (in comparison to the 2022 eNPS). The employee net promoter score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. In 2024, the eNPS had improved by 25 per cent (+25%) compared to the 2022 baseline, which means that the target for the strategy period was exceeded ahead of schedule. The result is for Digia companies in Finland. Other subsidiaries have their own indicators to monitor employee satisfaction.

Digia wants to increase diversity at all organisational levels. The proportion of women in executive positions is a key indicator of diversity. The goal is for 25 per cent of Digia’s executives to be women. In 2024, the proportion of women in executive positions was 16 per cent (16%). Women accounted for 34 per cent (29%) of those in supervisory roles in 2024. The data covers the entire Group. Digia is also aiming to increase the number of women in architectural roles, which was 7 per cent (3%) in 2024. This data covers companies in Finland.

Digia aims to leave a responsible mental footprint. The key indicator for this is the number of absences due to mental health reasons. The target is to have fewer than 1.0 days of absence, on average, per person per year for mental health reasons. The number of absences in 2024 was 1.3 (1.3) days of absence per person. The data covers Digia companies in Finland.

Digia provides opportunities for lifelong learning. The percentage of employees with a learning objective is measured and monitored annually as part of competence development. The goal is to set a learning target for 75 per cent of personnel. Learning targets were recorded for 52 per cent (54%) of personnel in 2024. This data covers the entire Group.

Targets are formulated during discussions with employee representatives in order to gain a better understanding of employees’ general and specific needs. Goals have been set for the entire strategy period (2023–2025), and a consistent methodology will ensure that the results are comparable. The targets have been reviewed and decided on by the Management Team, and have also been approved by the Board of Directors. Targets, their attainment and any related metrics are closely monitored by the HR team, Sustainability Working Group, Sustainability Steering Group, Management Team, and Board of Directors’ Audit Committee.

S1–8 Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue

85 per cent of the Digia Group’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Digia has its own collective agreement in Finland, which entered into force in May 2023. This collective agreement covers employees of Digia Plc and Digia Finland Ltd. Digia Plc’s subsidiary Productivity Leap Ltd uses the Collective Agreement for the IT Service Sector as an unorganised employer. Digia Sweden AB, Top of Minds AB, and Climber International AB and its subsidiaries are not covered by a collective agreement. Most Digital Sweden AB does not have any employees. Subcontractors are not covered by Digia’s collective agreements, as they are not employed by Digia.

S1–10 Adequate wages

Digia always pays at least the minimum wage specified in the collective agreement. If a company is not covered by the collective agreement, the minimum wage is based on the salary specified in the industry’s general collective agreement. As part of the human rights survey conducted in 2023, Digia also reviewed the remuneration practices of its subcontractors’ nearshore and offshore operations to ensure that adequate wages were being paid.

S1–11 Social protection

Digia wants to be a family-friendly employer that understands diverse life situations. All companies within the Group have a right to family-related leave. Digia supports the varying life situations, working capacity and care responsibilities of its employees by offering flexible, location-independent working hours and providing occupational healthcare services. These services may vary from country to country and company to company. In addition to statutory occupational accident, life and pension insurance, Digia’s also offers additional insurances, such as medical expense insurance and travel insurance for both working hours and leisure time. These additional insurances are company-specific within the Group.

S1–13 Training and skills development indicators

Expertise and its continuous development play a key role in enabling Digia to serve its customers on the basis of the latest information. The company wants the value of Digia personnel’s expertise to increase during their term of employment. Competence development occurs through interaction with others and interesting new kinds of tasks and training.

During 2024, Digia did not receive any reports of discrimination as specified in the Equality Act, nor any reports of serious cases of human rights violations. A total of 4 reports were received through the Whistleblowing channel, none of which were found to require further action after investigation.

S2 Workers in the value chain

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)

In conjunction with the double materiality assessment, the main value chain impacts were found to be limited to upstream operations and primarily direct suppliers. The largest supplier group of this type is subcontractors. Digia has also identified downstream workers in, for example, its acquisition of IT equipment. The risk of human rights violations at these stages is significant, but Digia’s ability to influence them is very limited. Unless otherwise mentioned, this section will – on the basis of materiality – focus only on value chain workers for subcontractors on whom Digia has a direct impact.

Digia Hub is the company’s subcontracting and collaboration network, which consists of more than 5,000 freelance professionals and hundreds of subcontracting companies in Finland. In the EU, the Digia Hub also has nearshore subcontracting companies that, in addition to the Nordics, operate in the Baltic countries and in Central and Eastern Europe. Digia’s main partner for subcontracting international talent is Fulcrum Digital, whose Digia team is located in India.

Digia is strongly dependent on its skilled workforce, which is why the company also needs to source experts through subcontracting. Subcontracting provides the increased flexibility that is required to seize business opportunities. When it comes to working conditions and the workplace community, workers in the subcontracting network are generally subject to similar challenges as the company’s own employees, even if they are not employed by Digia. As entrepreneurs, they often carry greater responsibility for their own health and working hours, even though Digia attempts to monitor them. Digia is aware that it has subcontractors in countries in which there is a higher risk of human rights violations. More information about Digia’s analysis of human rights risks and impacts, as well as any actual and potential human rights risks identified in the company’s value chain, is provided in Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce.

Policies related to value chain workers (S2-1)

Digia has developed a Supplier Code of Conduct that is based on Digia’s own Code of Conduct. In addition to its Code of Conduct, Digia has an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy that is based on the UN Convention against Corruption. The company requires all of its subcontractors to adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code requires suppliers to uphold internationally recognised human rights, labour rights and standards (the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work). It contains rules for suppliers, and prohibits them from using forced or child labour. The Supplier Code of Conduct is permanent in nature, but is updated as necessary. It was last updated in 2023.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Board of Directors’ Report

Corporate governance statement

The Management Team approves the Supplier Code of Conduct, and the legal team and General Counsel are responsible for implementing and supervising it. Its purpose is to ensure that suppliers operate ethically and sustainably, and comply with internationally recognised human rights, labour rights and standards. Contractors are contractually obliged to adhere to the Code of Conduct. Digia’s aim is to extend the Code of Conduct to all procurements, so that it covers the entire value chain. For more information about Digia’s anti-bribery and corruption policy, see the disclosure requirements G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies and G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery.

Based on its human rights analyses, Digia has drawn up its own human rights commitment, which has been approved by the Management Team and published on Digia’s website. The human rights commitment is covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce. The guidelines and commitment are part of Digia’s Sustainable Supplier Programme, which helps the company to better assess and categorise supplier risks, thereby improving the transparency of the supply chain.

A risk assessment of subcontractors is carried out as part of the procurement process, and their implementation of responsible sourcing principles is checked before any contracts are signed. The risk assessment also includes an investigation of potential human rights violations. The programme currently covers Digia’s subcontractors. A separate, more comprehensive report is required for companies with the highest risk rating. Any observed risks are sent for processing and follow-up measures in accordance with Digia’s risk management process. Supplier reports may lead to the termination of cooperation. Corrective measures may also be agreed upon, and their implementation will then be monitored.

The Management Team approves and supervises the Sustainable Supplier programme. It is coordinated by the risk management team and sustainability team, which together guide and develop operational activities in collaboration with the finance team and procurement units.

Digia’s subcontracting within the European Union occurs through the Digia Hub network. Each subcontractor working on a project led by Digia will complete annual training modules on the Code of Conduct, data protection and data security. Digia expects any supplier who becomes aware of any violation of the Code of Conduct by their own employees or Digia’s employees to promptly report the same to Digia. Digia has not been made aware of any violations of the above-mentioned policies by companies in its value chain.

Processes for engaging with value chain workers about impacts (S2-2)

Digia aims to engage in responsible collaboration and manage sustainability risks throughout the value chain. Collaboration and communication between Digia and its subcontractors takes place both directly (between employees) and indirectly (between their legal representatives). Applicants undergo extensive interviews before they are permitted to join the Digia Hub network. Although each customer project has its own processes, engagement is both regular and managed. Digia communicates with members of the Digia Hub subcontracting network on a regular basis, and requests them to update certain information four times a year. In the event of a problem, the Digia Hub serves as a communication touchpoint.

Digia builds up an understanding of materialities and stakeholders’ expectations through a combination of routine management and regular meetings, surveys and analyses. An annual survey is sent to key subcontractors. After a project has ended, discussions will be held with the subcontractor, and they will be directed towards the next project. In the case of subcontracting, operational responsibility for implementing these actions lies with the Digia Hub’s business lead.

Digia conducts an annual survey of key subcontractors according to the company’s risk classification. The survey aims to ensure compliance with Digia’s Code of Conduct. 2023 was also the first year that Digia sent its subcontractors an equality and non-discrimination survey and a data protection and data security survey. Digia also conducts audits as necessary.

Supplier surveys provide a comprehensive understanding of workers in the subcontracting network. The impacts of these measures are assessed yearly as part of Digia’s Sustainable Supplier programme. The Digia Hub internally assesses the effectiveness of its processes and requests feedback from the network’s members. Regular discussions are held with subcontractors in India, and workers’ rights are an integral aspect of these conversations. Digia aims to proactively expand its supplier management, and to increase dialogue with other important suppliers and include them in the Sustainable Supplier programme. Digia has no framework or other agreements with trade unions concerning workers in the value chain.

Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for value chain workers to raise concerns (S2-3)

By signing Digia’s Supplier Code of Conduct, the supplier agrees to immediately report any violations of the code so that the situation can be promptly addressed. Everyone has access to the Whistleblowing channel, and the link is available both in the Supplier Code of Conduct and on Digia’s website. For more information about Digia’s Whistleblowing channel and related policies, see the disclosure requirements G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies and G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery.

Subcontractors can also raise concerns by contacting Digia’s project manager directly. Subcontractors will have the opportunity to provide feedback during the one-on-one discussions that are arranged after a project has ended. Digia collects feedback through an annual subcontractor survey, the feedback and follow-up actions of which are handled by the Digia Hub’s business lead. Through the survey, Digia ensures that subcontractors are aware of its Whistleblowing channel.

Information on how the undertaking takes action to address material impacts on value chain workers and to manage material risks and pursue material opportunities related to value chain workers, and the effectiveness of those actions (S2-4)

Digia seeks to prevent negative impacts on value chain workers by ensuring that all subcontractors comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct. This is accomplished with annual monitoring to check how many subcontractors have signed the Code of Conduct. The goal is to ensure that upstream suppliers operate ethically and sustainably, and comply with internationally recognised human rights, labour rights and standards.

Digia is committed to taking action based on due diligence processes, so that the company does not cause or contribute to any adverse human rights impacts in its business activities. These kinds of impacts are addressed and corrected as soon as they occur. No significant human rights issues or violations were identified in the supply chain in 2024.

The potential negative impacts that may occur during subcontracting include health concerns or fatigue, which increase absenteeism. In such situations, Digia will attempt to discuss alternative solutions, such as reduced daily working hours. If necessary, a representative of the subcontractor will be included in these discussions.

Digia wants to proactively increase its subcontractors’ capacity to meet the evolving requirements of working life. The company therefore invests in promoting open communications and developing clear objectives, flexible working hours and a constructive feedback culture.

As part of the Sustainable Supplier programme, a background check and risk assessment will be performed for new suppliers. These measures aim to ensure that each supplier and subcontractor has the means to identify and minimise any impacts on the rights and working conditions of its workers. The programme also includes annual surveys, and audits of selected suppliers are performed as necessary to ensure their commitment to the Code of Conduct. The insights and feedback obtained from these surveys are handled by the Digia Hub Leadership Team and used to recommend developments and monitor any corrective measures that may be required. Digia Hub’s business lead is a member of the Sustainability Working Group, which discusses and prepares sustainability issues for the Management Team to review.

Reports received through the Whistleblowing channel will be handled in accordance with a separate process, which is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery.

Digia supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 which aims to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities (S2-5)

Digia’s goal is for 100 per cent of its subcontractors to commit to the Supplier Code of Conduct by the end of 2025. The aim is to ensure that human rights and fair working conditions are realised for all value chain workers in Digia’s subcontracting.

Sustainability statement# S4 – Consumers and end-users

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)

In conjunction with the double materiality assessment, Digia recognised that the value chain’s most significant impacts are on the company’s customers and, through their services, end-users. However, Digia’s potential to influence end-users is mainly indirect, as it occurs through its customers’ operations. Digia recognises that there is a risk of human rights violations, but judges it to be unlikely. Due to the limited opportunities for influencing end-users, the company will focus in this section on customers and end-users on the basis of materiality.

Digia’s customers include both private- and public-sector companies and organisations. The company’s definition of end-users includes those who use these companies’ or organisations’ solutions. Digia does not have any detailed information about end-user demographics, as they vary between customer projects.

Digia handles and develops solutions that make extensive use of data. Digia’s business is founded on the responsible use of data, both in the company’s own processes and in its customer solutions. The company aims to promote the digitalisation of society by providing everyone with secure and easy-to-use services. The needs of special groups can be taken into account with the aid of accessibility assessments and top-quality service design. Accessibility requirements have thus far been an important aspect of projects for public-sector customers, but are now being seen in the private sector as well. Thanks to Digia’s extensive expertise, increased regulation and the resulting customer needs will create more business opportunities for the company.

End-users may be exposed to a variety of privacy risks, and users may have varying starting points and levels with respect to digital services. Negative impacts are not occurring systematically – they are mainly isolated cases. A security breach may result in an end-user’s personal data ending up in the possession of third parties. Digia’s most significant business risks are therefore associated with privacy and security issues that could damage its reputation or potentially lead to major compensation claims.

Digia has also identified the need to monitor developments in artificial intelligence and its use, including its impact on end-users. The company is taking preemptive action against these impacts and risks with the aid of a strong data protection and security culture that is based on processes and practices of a high standard.

In a human rights survey conducted by the company, Digia noted that actual or potential human rights risks to end-users relate to privacy. The human rights analysis and commitment are covered in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce.

The company has not identified any customer projects in which the primary end-users are children or other vulnerable groups that may be at greater risk or particularly vulnerable to adverse impacts. However, the company recognises that there may be individuals who have an absolute requirement for accessibility as the end-user of the services.

Policies related to consumers and end-users (S4-1)

Digia bases its operations on strong customer relationships, excellent professional skills, a comprehensive product and service offering, a broad network of partners and a sustainable business model. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is an integral part of this package. The code applies to both Digia and its subcontractors and network, and covers areas such as an excellent customer experience, open communications, data security and confidentiality. The Code of Conduct is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies.

Other key policies and principles that apply to Digia’s customers and end-users include:

Human rights commitment
ISO 27001 information security management system and its information security and data protection policies
ISO 9001 quality management system
AI policy and ethical principles for using artificial intelligence

Through the Code of Conduct, Digia ensures that the company operates responsibly and sustainably in its customer work, thereby minimising any potential risks and negative impacts on customers. During the reporting year, the company introduced a new AI policy based on ethical principles, earlier policies and ISO 27001 requirements.

Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Board of Directors’ Report
Corporate governance statement
Consolidated financial statements
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Parent company’s financial statements
Sustainability statement

There were no other significant changes to policies and operating principles during the reporting year.

The use of artificial intelligence has grown significantly in recent years. As Digia utilises AI in both its own operations and customer projects, taking AI-related ethical considerations and information security into account is an essential aspect of the company’s business. The company is actively monitoring regulatory developments, including the recent EU AI Act, which will introduce standardised regulations for the use of artificial intelligence within the EU. The company will prepare itself for future changes by developing its operating models as necessary.

Digia also wants to protect the privacy of individuals represented in its data when it comes to the use of artificial intelligence. Digia helps its customers to develop AI-based decision-making that safeguards the rights of individuals without any unjust discrimination or structural inequality.

Digia’s AI policy helps its personnel to understand and follow best practices, which in turn reduces legal and operational risks. The AI policy applies to all Digia personnel and subcontractors who use artificial intelligence in customer projects. It is a permanent policy that will be updated as necessary. The CTO and CTO Office are responsible for its implementation and supervision. The AI policy has been approved by the Management Team.

In its human rights commitment, Digia commits to respecting human rights in accordance with the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The commitment covers all of Digia’s stakeholders and has been approved by the company’s Management Team. It is implemented by the HR team and supervised by the HR Director and General Counsel. The commitment includes processes and systems to manage any identified human rights risks that may also impact end-users, such as privacy-related risks.

Digia’s security management system complies with the international ISO 27001 standard for information security management, and some of the company’s businesses are ISO 27001 certified. All of Digia’s businesses comply with the ISO 27001 standard’s guidelines and security controls. The unit responsible for security (CSO Office) is responsible for security management at Group level, and security competence has also been mobilised in Digia’s businesses. Digia’s Management Team has approved the security management system, including its data security and data protection policies. The system covers Digia Plc and Digia Finland Ltd. The security management system aims to protect Digia’s personnel, customers and end-users from potential security breaches.

The purpose of the company’s internal data protection policy is to define the procedures and responsibilities for handling personal data at Digia. The policy applies throughout Digia and covers all employees and management. Digia’s data protection policy has been approved by the company’s Management Team and communicated to the Board of Directors. The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for implementing the policy, and the Management Team oversees its enforcement. The policy is permanent in nature but is updated as necessary.

Digia does not have any direct interactions with consumers and end-users, as any contact with them occurs through its customers. The engagement process is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement S4-2 Processes for engaging with consumers and end-users about impacts.

The company’s high quality standards are based on its ISO 9001 quality certificate, which sets a specific quality level and steers continuous improvements in quality. The quality certificate demonstrates that Digia’s processes meet the requirements that have been set for them, and that Digia can deliver compliant products and services and has the ability to improve its operations. The quality management system helps Digia to ensure that it meets both its customer expectations and the specified requirements. The quality management system has been approved by the Management Team.The quality unit is responsible for its implementation, and it is supervised by both the Quality Steering Group and the Management Team. The quality management system covers the entire Group, but the ISO 9001 quality certificate applies only to Digia Finland Ltd and the Group’s support functions. There have been no identified or reported cases of non-compliance at Digia concerning end-users, that is, no cases in which the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO’s Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises have been violated. Digia’s policies related to customers and end-users are in line with the aforementioned internationally recognised human rights, labour rights, and standards. Digia’s risk management process contains procedures for managing potential negative impacts arising from information security. Risk management is described in greater detail in Disclosure Requirement IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities.

Processes for engaging with consumers and end-users about impacts (S4-2)

Digia’s engagement with end-users is indirect and occurs through its customers as part of operational and strategic cooperation with customers. Digia’s customers act as trustworthy agents who have an understanding of their own customers’ and end-users’ situations and needs. The methods and frequency of engagement between Digia and its customers will vary depending on both the project in question and the specific characteristics of the customer relationship. Account managers are in charge of engaging with the company’s customers in accordance with the customer care model. The effectiveness of this engagement is monitored by regularly collecting customer feedback in various channels and reviewing the outcomes of collaboration. Digia’s goal is to develop solutions that meet the expectations and needs of both the company’s customers and its customers’ customers, and to take these needs into account at different stages of collaboration. Digia works with its customers to ensure digital security and accessibility, and particularly for end-users who are more vulnerable to negative impacts. Some of the services offered to customers are covered by the Digital Services Act.

Process to remediate negative impacts and channels for consumers and end-users to raise concerns (S4-3)

The most important processes for remediating negative impacts on end-users are related to potential breaches of data security or privacy. Digia’s security measures are mainly preemptive, so as to ensure that all of its solutions and services are as secure as possible for all users. The company has systematically developed its operating model and capabilities in this area over many years. However, if a data breach does occur in spite of these measures, Digia has a Major Incident Management (MIM) process in place to handle the situation and minimise any damage and its consequences. This process aims to restore normal service as quickly as possible, and to minimise any damage and negative impacts on business activities and end-users. The process also includes instructions on how to keep customers and individuals affected by the data breach informed about the situation. Digia has appointed a data protection officer whose contact details are publicly available on the company’s website, and who can be contacted directly. The Data Protection Officer supervises and advises on compliance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) at Digia. The company also has a Whistleblowing channel, and the link is available both in the Code of Conduct and on Digia’s website. Whistleblowing reports can also be made anonymously if desired. For more information about Digia’s Whistleblowing channel and related policies, see the disclosure requirements G1-1 Corporate culture and business conduct policies and G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery. Digia expects its subcontractors and partners to commit to complying with the applicable data protection regulation and Digia’s data protection requirements, as well as to cooperate in the event of a potential data security breach. Digia has identified some potential accessibility needs or gaps in its customer interactions, and assesses what action is required on a customer-by-customer basis. The aim is for solutions to be accessible by default. If accessibility requirements are not being met, any required measures will be agreed upon in cooperation with the customer. During the reporting period, Digia has not received any complaints about accessibility from either its customers or their end-users.

The undertaking’s actions to address material impacts on consumers and end-users, managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to consumers and end-users, and the effectiveness of those actions (S4-4)

Digia’s most significant end-user risks are related to data security and data protection. Once again, the accessibility of digital services is seen primarily as a business opportunity. Information security and data protection are an important part of Digia’s business, and promoting digital security is one of the focus areas of its sustainability programme. The company maintains a high level of data protection and security through personnel training, administrative and technical controls, audits, and continually evolving processes. Digia’s security management system complies with the international ISO 27001 standard for information security management, and some businesses and sites are covered by this certificate. The standard provides organisations with a security management framework for implementing, administering and continuously improving information security management. The certificate is granted to organisations whose operations have been audited according to the standard. All of Digia’s businesses comply with ISO 27001 security controls. Digia is constantly developing its information security and data protection practices on the basis of this standard. All Digia employees must familiarise themselves with the company’s information security policies and guidelines during the onboarding process, and they also complete an annual data security and data protection training package. The same goes for every subcontractor who works on the company’s projects. The aim of the training is to prevent potential risks and manage their negative impacts. The Board of Directors has not completed the training. Digia provides plenty of up-to-date material concerning information security and data protection for internal use. The company has an information security and data protection tribe that shares relevant information and lessons learned. Digia reviews and updates its internal data security and protection policies and processes to ensure that they are both effective and up to date. Digia always acts in accordance with the company’s privacy policy. The privacy policy covers both Digia’s own systems and procedures and those implemented for customers. Digia’s daily work to promote data protection is based on close collaboration with customers in accordance with company processes and procedures. The company last reviewed and updated its privacy policy in May 2024. During the reporting year, Digia created a training course package to strengthen personnel’s ‘Privacy by Design’ competence, and provided data protection training that was open to all employees. Digia assesses all new services and systems that will be used in either its own or its customers’ projects from a security and data protection perspective in accordance with the company’s risk management process. Appropriate controls will be established if any potential risks are identified. People have been appointed to take responsibility for data security and protection responsibilities at various levels of the organisation, and it is their task to monitor the positive and negative impacts of Digia’s operations and report directly to the director in charge of security, who in turn reports to the CEO. There have been no human rights violations or damage involving end-users. Any potential hazards or biases associated with artificial intelligence are being managed with the aid of rigorous risk assessments that can be used to identify risks and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Digia designs its AI solutions to be fair, transparent and respectful of privacy. AI decision-making must be explicable and accountable, and data used must be processed in accordance with data protection legislation. Digia has published a set of Ethical principles for utilising artificial intelligence, and in 2024 these were supplemented with the publication of an AI policy. These policies and principles provide increased support to customers who are developing AI-based decision-making. The company actively monitors regulatory developments and proactively familiarises itself with the latest requirements and opportunities. As regulation increases, improving accessibility in certain service areas will create new business opportunities for Digia. The Act on the Provision of Digital Services will introduce new application requirements for some private- and third-sector organisations. Digia promotes accessibility by training its personnel and bringing accessibility issues to its customers’ attention as necessary. While the need for accessibility often arises directly from customers, Digia seeks to promote the development of services that are accessible to everyone, both in its own operations and in cooperation with customers.# Board of Directors’ Report and financial statements 2024

Accessibility audits can be used to determine a customer’s current situation and identify any areas for improvement. Digia has provided additional accessibility training for UI designers during the reporting year, with the goal of increasing accessibility competence within the organisation. This approach also supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 10: reduced inequalities. By ensuring that solutions are accessible and easy-to-use for all end-users, Digia can help to improve the user experience and support equality.

Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities (S4-5)

One of the company’s strategic sustainability objectives is to maintain a high level of data security and protection that is closely connected to the end-users of Digia’s services. The goal is for at least 90 per cent of Digia employees to have completed security training by 2025. Progress is tracked annually. 94 per cent (95%) of personnel had completed this training in 2024. These figures cover Digia’s Finnish companies. The company has updated its security training to reflect the revisions made to its ISO 27001 certified security management system. Security training seeks to ensure a good level of security competence among Digia personnel, with the aim of minimising the risk of data security breaches during customer work.

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is the main measure of customer satisfaction and the customer experience. As part of Digia’s proactive collaboration with its customers, the company engages in continuous dialogue about concerns relating to end-user needs. Digia’s goal for 2025 is to improve NPS by 25 per cent compared to 2022. The target has been set for the 2023–2025 strategy period, and progress has been monitored and reported since the beginning of the period. In 2024, the NPS improved by 18.4 per cent (+23%) compared to 2022. The Net Promoter Score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. This figure covers all of the Digia Group’s Finnish companies.

Both goals were set in conjunction with the company’s strategy work. They were decided on by Digia’s Management Team and approved by the Board of Directors. Digia’s internal stakeholders have been involved in target settings. The goal-setting process has also utilized information obtained from the customer feedback process.

The Board’s general duty is to steer the company’s business with a view to maximising shareholder value in the long term while taking account of expectations set by various stakeholder groups.

More information about the roles and competences of the Board of Directors and Committees is provided in the General Disclosures under Disclosure Requirement GOV-1 The role of the administrative, supervisory and management bodies.

CEO and Management Team

The CEO is in charge of Digia’s business operations and administration in accordance with the instructions and regulations issued by the Board of Directors, and as defined by the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The Group Management Team supports the President & CEO in the routine management of the company. More information about the roles and competences of the CEO and Management Team is provided in the General Disclosures under Disclosure Requirement GOV-1 The role of the administrative, super- visory and management bodies.

Corporate culture and business conduct policies (G1-1)

Digia’s operations are governed by the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, regulations concerning publicly listed companies, the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Helsinki Oy, and Digia’s Articles of Association. Our operations are also guided by the policies and operating principles approved by the Board of Directors or Group Management Team. The Corporate Governance guidelines outline the basic principles of Digia’s management and control throughout the entire Group. It is approved by the Board of Directors and overseen by the General Counsel. The implementation of the guidelines are the responsibility of the Group’s Board, Management Team, and other senior management.

Digia’s sustainability is based on the company’s Code of Conduct, which is approved by the Board of Directors, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The company is committed to respecting human rights in accordance with the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Compliance with the Code of Conduct and Digia’s responsible way of working are integral to the company’s strategy and instrumental to its business success.

The Code of Conduct defines the principles that help Digia personnel make ethically sustainable decisions in their work. The Code of Conduct is permanent in nature, but will be updated as necessary. It was last updated in 2022. The code focuses on conducting sustainable business, protecting the environment, a healthy workplace community, respecting human rights, data protection, and ethical practices. Compliance with the Code of Conduct applies not only to Digia employees but also to subcon- tractors, partners and customers. The legal team is responsible for its implementation and the General Counsel for its supervision. The Code of Conduct has been approved by Digia’s Management Team and the Board of Directors.

Digia also has a supplementary anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy that is based on the UN Convention against Corruption. This policy supplements Digia’s Code of Conduct, in which Digia states its zero tolerance for all forms of bribery and corruption. It applies to everyone working at or for Digia. It is a permanent policy that will be updated as necessary. The latest update was made in 2021. The anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy has been approved by the Management Team and Board of Directors. It is implemented by the legal team and supervised by the General Counsel.

Digia has also supplemented these principles with detailed guidelines and policies in various subareas. Everything revolves around the cultural principles created in collaboration with Digia personnel. These principles are strongly present in everyday life and guide everyone’s daily work. For more information about Digia’s cultural principles, see Disclosure Requirement S1-1 Policies related to own workforce.

In accordance with the EU Whistle-blower Directive (EU2021/1937), the company has a Whistleblowing channel operated by a third party. This reporting channel is open to all Digia stakeholders. It enables all kinds of stakeholders to report potential violations of the Code of Conduct. The process for handling reports is described in more detail in Disclosure Requirement G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery. Digia applies the Whistleblower Act, which provides protection for whistleblowers. Digia has not identified any internal activities that would be particularly vulnerable to corruption and bribery. To help mobilise the Code of Conduct among personnel, the company has introduced mandatory training that must be refreshed on an annual basis. More information about training is provided in Disclosure Requirement G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery.

Management of relationships with suppliers (G1–2)

Digia’s relationships with its suppliers are described in more detail in section S2 Workers in the value chain. Digia treats all of its suppliers equally, and has processes and guide- lines in place to ensure that invoices are processed in accordance with payment terms. Digia’s invoice payment process has been described as part of a larger process description. Upon receipt of an invoice, the Group’s financial administration will process the invoice and forward it to the recipient of the invoice for registration and approval. The invoice processing system will automatically remind the invoice handler of any unpaid invoices. The Group’s financial administration will also send reminders about unpaid invoices as necessary.

Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery (G1–3)

Digia has a Whistleblowing channel through which a Digia employee or external person can report any suspected misconduct or violations of Digia’s Code of Conduct, either anonymously or under their own name. Digia is committed to ensuring that no retaliatory measures will be taken against whistleblowers.The channel can be found here: https://whistleblower.digia.com. Digia will handle the reports in its own separately appointed processing team. This processing team will consist of the Chair of the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee, the General Counsel and a lawyer. If necessary, the process will move forward to the next review stage in accordance with the report’s classification, led by the appointed Group Management Team member. The General Counsel informs twice a year the Audit Committee of any reports that have been received via the whistleblowing channel and how they have been handled. The mobilisation of the Code of Conduct among personnel includes training that runs through Digia’s Code of Conduct and other guidelines, and provides instructions on how Digia employees should act if, for example, they suspect misconduct in the company’s business. The training is available in Finnish and English via Digia’s e-learning platform. It is mandatory for all Digia employees, including senior executives, and must be repeated annually. The goal is for 90 per cent of personnel to complete annual training. 84 per cent of Digia personnel (84%) completed this training in 2024. Employees with long absences have been excluded from the figures and the figure does not include Top of Minds’ employees. Digia’s anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy underlines that Digia takes bribery and corruption seriously, and sets out rules and guidelines to promote ethical and lawful behaviour throughout the Group. This policy is publicly available. The anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy is included in Digia’s Code of Conduct training. All Digia Group companies are committed to complying with the same, or a similar, code of conduct, and also to corresponding anti–bribery and corruption policies.

Confirmed incidents of corruption or bribery (G1–4)

Political influence and lobbying activities (G1–5)

1.5 Changes in shareholders’ equity

2.1 Basic information on the Group

The company is listed on NASDAQ Helsinki (DIGIA). The Group’s parent company Digia Plc is a Finnish public limited liability company established under the laws of Finland. Its Business ID is 0831312-4 and it is domiciled in Helsinki. Its registered address is Atomitie 2A, 00370 Helsinki.

2.2 Approval by the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors approved the financial statements for publication on 25 February 2025. According to the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders have the right to approve or reject the financial statements at the General Meeting held after publication. Digia Plc’s Annual General Meeting will be held on 27 March 2025.

2.3 Accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), observing the IAS and IFRS standards, as well as SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on 31 December 2024. The consolidated financial statements are based on original acquisition costs. In the fair value hierarchy, the highest level is assigned to quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs), and the lowest to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Digia Plc, and all of its subsidiaries. Digia wholly owns all of its subsidiaries. Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method, according to which the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are measured at fair value at the time of acquisition, and the remaining difference between the acquisition price and the acquired shareholders’ equity constitutes goodwill. Subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal period are included in the consolidated financial statements as from when control was gained, while divested subsidiaries are included until the date of divestment. No subsidiaries were divested in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal periods.# Consolidated f inancial statements are primarily presented in thousands of euros and the f igures have been rounded to the nearest thousand euros, which means that the sum of individual f igures may dif fer from the totals given. Items referring to the earnings and f inancial position of the Group’s units are recognised in the currency that is the main currency of the unit’s primary operating environment (‘functional currency’). The consolidated f inancial statements are given in euros, which is the operating and presentation currency of the parent company. The Group has the following foreign subsidiaries: six in Sweden, one in Denmark and one in the Netherlands. Receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into euro at the exchange rate in ef fect on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recognised through prof it or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses from operations are included in the corresponding items above EBIT. The income statements of the foreign group companies have been converted into euro at the weighted average exchange rate for the period, and the balance sheets have been converted at the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Translation dif ferences arising from the application of the acquisition method are treated as items adjusting the consolidated comprehensive income statement. In the 2023 f iscal year, the Group had non-controlling interests through Climber Benelux B.V. until 30 August 2023, and the result for 2023 is therefore distributed between parent company shareholders and non-controlling interests. Digia presents the other accounting principles applied in the f inancial statements in the notes to the f inancial statement items in question. The table below lists the Group’s accounting policies, information about which note they are presented in and a reference to the relevant IFRS standard.

The Digia Group complies with the agenda decision issued by the Interpretations Commit tee (IFRIC) on the accounting treatment of conf iguration or customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement (IAS 38 Intangible Assets).

Accounting estimates and judgements applied in the preparation of the f inancial statements

The preparation of f inancial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Group’s management to make accounting estimates and apply judgements and assumptions that have an ef fect on the appli- cation of the accounting principles and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on previous experience and other justif iable assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and that serve as a foundation for evaluating the items included in the f inancial statements.

Digia’s management has assessed the climate’s potential impacts on accounting estimates and judgements. Management has estimated that climate-related factors will not have a material impact on the items presented in the f inancial statements at this time. Management monitors changes in legislation and will update its estimates and judgements as necessary. These estimates and judgements are reviewed regularly, but the actual results may dif fer from the estimates and solutions.

The assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgements are presented in the following notes:

2.4 New and amended standards

Applicable new and amended standards as of 1 Jan 2024

Digia adopted the following new standards and amendments as of the f iscal year beginning 1 January 2024.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of F inancial Statements

The amendments clarify that covenants that must be fulf illed after the reporting date do not af fect the classif ication of debt as current or non-current on the reporting date. The amendments require the disclosure of such covenants in the Notes to the F inancial Statements.

New and amended standards to be applied in future f inancial periods

Digia will adopt the following amendments to standards as of the f iscal year beginning 1 January 2025, as long as they have been approved by the planned adoption date. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the information contained in the consolidated f inancial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated F inancial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendments eliminate an inconsistency between current guidance on consolidation and the equity method, and require that gains be recognised in full when the transferred assets constitute a business as def ined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

Amendments to IAS 21 – Estimating the spot exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable

The amendment is taken into account when a transaction or business function is handled in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable to another currency on the measurement date for that purpose.

Digia will adopt the following amendments to standards as of the f iscal year beginning 1 January 2026, as long as they have been approved by the planned adoption date. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the information contained in the consolidated f inancial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Nature-dependent electricity

Amendments have been made to the application of the “own use” exception under IFRS 9 and the hedge accounting requirements concerning nature-dependent electricity, such as wind and solar power. In addition, IFRS 7 has been amended to introduce specif ic disclosure requirements. These amendments only apply to contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of electricity generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions.

Digia will adopt the following amendments to standards as of the f iscal year beginning 1 January 2027, as long as they have been approved by the planned adoption date. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the information contained in the consolidated f inancial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 18

The earlier IAS 1 is replaced with the new IFRS 18, which concerns the presentation and disclosure of information in f inancial statements. The new standard introduces changes to issues such as the structure of the statement of prof it or loss, and enhances the requirements for aggregating and disaggregating disclosed information in both the primary f inancial statements and the notes. Another new requirement concerns the disclosure of management-def ined performance measures in the notes.

3 F inancial development

3.1 Reportable segments

Digia reports on its business operations as one segment. In 2024, Digia comprised four service areas: Digital Solutions, Business Platforms, F inancial Platforms and Managed Solutions. These service areas have similar f inancial characteristics and are also similar in terms of the nature of product and service production processes, type of customer, geographical characteristics, and methods used in product or service distribution or service provision. For this reason, these service areas have been combined into a single reporting segment.# 3.2 Net sales

Digia’s net sales in the review period amounted to EUR 205.7 (192.1) million, of which F inland accounted for EUR 180.9 (175.4) million and other countries for EUR 24.7 (17.1) million. The disclosed figure for consolidated net sales is the same as the net sales reported in the Group’s Sustainability Report. The net sales of external customers are divided according to the customer’s domicile as follows:

EUR 1,000	2024	2023
F inland	180,924	174,980
Sweden	22,125	14,350
Netherlands	2,020	2,064
Other countries	602	692
Total	205,672	192,087

Net sales distribution	2024	2023
Service and maintenance business	102,542	107,500
share of net sales	49.9%	56.0%
Project business	103,129	84,600
share of net sales	50.1%	44.0%

Net sales from the product business amounted to EUR 23.8 (23.2) million, representing 11.6 (12.1) per cent of total net sales. The product business comprises Digia’s own licences, the licence sales of its partners, as well as licence maintenance. Net sales of work performed by people accounted for 47.2 (42.2) per cent of the company’s net sales. Of net sales, EUR 7.7 (7.0) million were recognised in one instalment and EUR 198.0 (185.1) million over time.

At the end of the reporting period, Digia reports the total transaction price of uncompleted performance obligations insofar as the agreement is for several years and not charged on an hourly basis. On 31 December 2024, Digia had an order book of EUR 1.3 (2.1) million for multiyear projects with a fixed or target price. The order book for service and maintenance agreements has not been reported, as it cannot be unambiguously determined.

In service and maintenance agreements, Digia is responsible for support services, maintenance, small-scale developments and/or development of specified systems. These agreements are recognised as income on a monthly basis throughout their lifetime in the form of a fixed monthly payment and an additional variable portion. The variable portion depends on the customer’s use of the service, and this typically forms the majority of the monthly charge.

On 31 December 2024, the balance sheet included EUR 0.5 (0.8) million in advance payments for projects in which income is recognised over time. In 2024, EUR 0.5 million has been recognised as income from advance payments received in 2023. In 2024, no single customer accounted for more than 10 per cent of consolidated net sales.

Accounting principle – recognition in net sales

Digia’s performance obligations are work performed by people, licences of own products, maintenance of own products, third-party products, maintenance of third-party products as well as services. The typical payment terms for all performance obligations are 14–60 days from the invoice date. Digia does not have any significant financing components in customer contracts. The warranty period for customer-specific materials in performance obligations is mainly six months from the approval of the delivery. Both parties typically have the right to cancel the agreement if a party commits a material breach of the agreement and has not remedied said breach within 30 days. When an agreement is cancelled, the parties are to return any deliverables received.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Work performed by people

Work performed by people in specification and delivery projects is recognised as revenue over time in accordance with progress. Long-term projects with a fixed price are recognised over time on the basis of their percentage of completion once the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated. The percentage of completion is determined as the proportion of costs arising from work performed for the project up to the date of review in the total estimated project costs. If estimates of the project change, the recognised sales and profit/margin are amended in the period during which the change becomes known and can be estimated for the first time. Digia fulfils its performance obligation with respect to work performed by people in accordance with progress. The warranty period in expert service agreements is mainly 30 days from service delivery. Projects that include a specification phase after which the customer has the option of withdrawing from the project are recognised as revenue over time. The delivery project will not be recognised as revenue until the specification project has been approved.

Own products

The licences of own products comprise a performance obligation that is to be recognised as revenue at a point in time. Revenue is recognised in one instalment when the product has been delivered, that is, when the licences have been installed in the customer’s testing environment. Digia has fulfilled its performance obligation once installation has been completed. SaaS (software as a service) agreements for the company’s own products are recognised as revenue over time during the contract period. Maintenance fees for Digia product licences are recognised as revenue over time during the contract period. Digia provides a six-month warranty for its own products, effective as from the date when the delivery of the completed software has been approved.

Third-party products

With respect to third-party licences, the actual responsibility for the features, further development and maintenance of the product is specified in the agreement. If Digia is responsible, revenue from third-party products is recognised on a gross basis in one instalment once the product licence has been installed in the customer’s test environment. If a third party holds actual responsibility for the aforementioned matters, revenue is recognised on a net basis, that is, the margin or commission is recognised in net sales upon installation. Revenue accrued from maintenance of third-party products and from SaaS agreements is recognised over time either on a gross basis (Digia has actual responsibility for maintenance) or on a net basis (a third party is responsible for maintenance). The warranty for third-party software is determined according to the terms of the third-party software.

Services

Revenue from service agreements is recognised over time during the agreement period. If a service agreement includes a ticket- or hour-based performance obligation, revenue is recognised over time in accordance with progress.

Significant estimate or judgement: Revenue recognition: degree of completion of a project recognised as revenue over time

A project recognised as revenue over time is recognised as income and expenses on the basis of degree of completion once the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated. Recognition is based on estimates of expected income and expenses of the project and reliable measurement and estimation of project progress. If estimates of the project’s outcome change, the recognised sales and profit/margin are amended in the period during which the change becomes known and can be estimated for the first time. An onerous contract is immediately recognised as an expense. Additional information is provided in Note 3.3 Provisions.

Recognition: principal or agent

Digia can act as either a principal or agent for third-party products. Whether the company is deemed to be acting as a principal or agent for third-party products is based on Digia management’s analysis of the legal form and factual content of the agreements made between the company and its suppliers. With respect to factual content, the decisive factor is Digia’s role and responsibility towards the end customer. If Digia is responsible, revenue is recognised from these products in one instalment on a gross basis once the installation environment has been completed. Maintenance revenue will also be recognised on a gross basis, but over time. If a third party holds actual responsibility, Digia only recognises the margin or commission in net sales.

3.3 Provisions

Unprofitable agreements

The Group had no unprofitable projects on the balance sheet date of 31 December 2024 (31 Dec 2023).

Accounting principle – provisions

A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or factual obligation based on previous events, the realisation of a payment obligation is probable and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. A loss provision is created for fixed-price projects if it becomes apparent that the obligatory expenditure on the fulfilment of project obligations will exceed the benefits to be gained from the agreement. The loss is recognised in the period when it becomes known and can be estimated for the first time. Loss provisions are reversed in accordance with the extent and timing of incurred expenses.

Other income primarily consists of rental income.

Accounting principle – government grants

Government grants received as compensation for costs are recognised in the income statement at the same time as the expenses related to the target of the grant are recognised as expenses. Grants of this kind are presented under other operating income.# 3.5 Acquired business operations

Business operations acquired during the 2024 fiscal year

No acquisitions were made in the 2024 fiscal year.

Business operations acquired during the 2023 fiscal year

One acquisition was carried out in the 2023 fiscal year. Digia acquired the entire share capital of Top of Minds AB on 2 October 2023. The Top of Minds Group includes Top of Minds AB, Top of Minds Accelerate AB, Top of Minds Drive AB, Top of Minds Go AB and Top of Minds Steam AB. Top of Minds is a profitably growing Swedish IT consulting and service company that was established in 2011. It provides high-quality services for data and analytics consulting, integrations, e-commerce and project management. At the time of the transaction, Top of Minds AB had 63 employees at its Stockholm office.

	EUR 1,000
Property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets	89
Accounts receivable and other receivables	2,407

Total purchase price	–12,592
Cash and cash equivalents	3,303
Additional purchase price	2,336
Acquisition-related costs and taxes	–126
Net cash flow of acquisition	–7,079

The purchase price was paid at the time of acquisition in cash, with the exception of estimated additional contingent amounts subsequently payable in cash. The purchase price of the acquisition in the 2023 fiscal year was EUR 12.6 million. Assets and liabilities totalled EUR 3.5 million in the acquisition cost calculations. Acquisitions had an impact of EUR 3.2 million on the Digia Group’s net sales in the 2023 fiscal year and EUR 0.6 million on the result for the period. Accounts receivable consist of the ordinary receivables of the acquired companies, whose fair values are estimated to correspond to their book values. According to the company’s estimate, the accounts receivable will be paid in full. Digia’s goodwill grew by EUR 7.1 million as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill consisted of the value of acquired market share, business expertise and expected synergies. Additional information on goodwill is presented in Note 7.1. Goodwill is not tax-deductible. The business acquired in 2023 was not of substantial relevance to the Group as a whole. If the businesses acquired during the fiscal year had been included in Digia’s consolidated accounts for the entire year, the consolidated net sales in 2023 would have amounted to about EUR 202.8 million and the operating result to EUR 15.3 million.

Acquisition of an additional holding in Climber Benelux B.V.

On 12 July 2023, the Group acquired the remaining 20% of shares in Climber Benelux B.V., which then became a fully owned subsidiary. Non-controlling interests were paid EUR 298 thousand.

Purchase price paid in cash	298
Value of non-controlling interests	–56
Difference recognised in retained earnings	242

Accounting principle – business combinations

All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The purchase price consists of a share paid at the time of acquisition and any additional purchase price payable later. Such additional purchase prices are paid in cash. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The amount of the purchase price that exceeds the fair value of acquired net assets is recognised as goodwill. Changes in the value of the additional purchase price (liability item) are recognised through profit or loss. The exception to this is a situation in which additional information has been received about the financial position at the time of acquisition and this has an effect on the acquisition price. In this case, the change in the acquisition price is recognised by adjusting the acquisition cost calculation. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses when incurred and are presented under other operating expenses in the consolidated income statement. Non-controlling interests in the acquired subsidiary are measured as a relative share of the fair value. In a phased acquisition, the earlier holding is measured at fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised through profit or loss.

Significant estimate

Fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations and additional purchase prices
The purchase price, additional purchase price, if any, and assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are measured at fair value. The fair value of acquired assets and liabilities is determined based on the fair values of similar asset items, estimated expected cash flows from acquired assets or estimated payments required to fulf il the obligation. The fair value of the additional purchase price is determined based on a forecast of the parameters in accordance with the terms of the additional purchase price over the period defined in the terms and discounted to its present value. In the view of management, the used estimates and assumptions are sufficiently reliable for determining fair value.

The Group has EUR 2,553 thousand (2023: 2,577 thousand) in unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised. Tax losses do not expire.

Accounting principle – deferred taxes

Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the taxable values and book values of asset and liability items. Temporary differences arise from obligatory provisions, lease agreements, the share-based incentive scheme, and revaluation at fair value in connection with acquisitions. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rate enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax receivables are recognised up to the probable amount of taxable income in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

Accounting principle – earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings before tax for the accounting period attributable to the parent company’s shareholders by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the accounting period. Own shares held by the company are not included in the calculation of the weighted average of shares outstanding. When calculating diluted earnings per share, the impact of the share-based incentive scheme is taken into consideration.

The total remuneration Digia offers to employees consists of salaries, fringe benefits and short-term incentives (see 4.5). Share-based payments include the annual costs of the management incentive scheme. Information on share-based payments is provided in Note 4.5 Share-based payments. Additional information on the remuneration of key employees is also provided in Note 7.6 Related party transactions.

4.2 Pension liabilities

Digia’s pension schemes are arranged through external pension insurance companies in Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Accounting principle – pension liabilities

The Group’s pension schemes are defined contribution plans, and payments are recognised in the income statement during the period to which the payment applies.

4.3 Personnel remuneration

Employee remuneration is based on fixed monthly or hourly pay. Part of the employees are covered by target bonus schemes. The key indicators of the target bonus scheme for sales are the value of agreements or the value of agreements and net sales. The key indicators of the short-term target bonus scheme are consolidated net sales and operating profit. Employees have access to extensive occupational healthcare services. In addition, all employees have medical expenses insurance from an insurance company as well as telephone and fitness benefits.

4.4 Share-based payments

In the 2024 fiscal year, Digia had a long-term share-based incentive scheme in place for senior executives in which the earnings period is 2023–2025. The scheme offers participants the chance to earn company shares according to the targets set by the Board of Directors for the three-year bonus period. In principle, the target group confirmed by the Board of Directors consisted of the CEO, the company’s senior executives and other key personnel. The scheme was designed to align the goals of the company’s shareholders and management in order to increase the company’s value, and to commit executive management and key personnel to the company and its long-term objectives. These targets are based on the company’s net sales, cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2023–2025, and sustainability objective. The earnings period for the indicators is three years (2023–2025) and the targets have been set for the end of the earnings period.

During the bonus period, the company’s CEO and other scheme participants are entitled to a bonus equivalent to a maximum of 480,000 Digia Plc shares. If the terms are met, the bonuses for all indicators based on the new scheme will be paid at the end of the reward period in spring 2026. All bonuses under this scheme will be paid as a combination of shares and cash. The cash component of the bonus will primarily be used to cover taxes and other comparable costs arising from the scheme. As a rule, the bonus will not be paid if a member resigns or if a member’s employment or post is terminated prior to the bonus payment date specified in the incentive scheme. Under certain conditions, the Board has the option to decide on possible bonuses in accordance with the pro-rata principle. Basic information on the share-based incentive scheme is presented below.

Accounting principle – share-based incentive scheme

Digia has incentive schemes where payments are made either in equity instruments or in cash. The benefits granted through these arrangements are measured at fair value on the date of their being granted and recognised as expenses in the income statement evenly during the vesting period. The impact of these arrangements on the financial results is shown in the income statement under the cost of employee benefits and the impact on the balance sheet as a change in shareholders’ equity. The accrual of expenses from the incentive scheme is recognised annually, assessing the total cost impact of the scheme at the level estimated by management. If estimates of the total cost impact of the scheme change, the cost is amended in the period during which the change becomes known for the first time. Immediate costs relating to the acquisition of Digia Plc’s own shares are recognised as deductions in shareholders’ equity. The parent company complies with Statement 2020/1998 of the Accounting Board (KILA) in the FAS treatment of share-based incentive schemes, as the terms and conditions of such schemes are irrevocably fulfilled only at the end of the incentive period. Allocation of incentives under the terms and conditions of the share-based incentive scheme does not require an employee covered by the scheme to make a cash payment as consideration, and thus has no effect on the parent company’s income statement and balance sheet. Once the incentive period has ended and the terms and conditions of the scheme have been fulfilled, ownership of said shares is transferred to the employee in question and does not result in an event that would be recognised in the bookkeeping of the parent company.

6.1 Capital management and net liabilities

The Group’s capital management aims at supporting company business by means of optimal management of the capital structure, ensuring normal operating conditions and increasing shareholder value with a view to achieving the best possible profit. At the end of the year, the Group’s interest-bearing net liabilities were EUR 11.6 million (31 Dec 2023: 24.8 million). When calculating net gearing, the interest-bearing net liabilities are divided by shareholders’ equity as indicated in the consolidated balance sheet. Gearing includes interest-bearing net liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing liabilities comprise loans from financial institutions and lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16. Net gearing at the year-end 2024 was 14% (2023: 33%).

The share of liabilities of total shareholders’ equity was as follows on 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023:

	2024	2023
Interest-bearing liabilities	29,874	37,175

*items are included in financial assets

Accounts receivable are mainly attributable to invoicing of Finnish companies and organisations. At the end of the 2024 fiscal year, credit losses totalled EUR 156 (53) thousand. The book value of accounts receivable, receivables from customer agreements and security deposits for rental dues is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Their balance sheet values best correspond with the sum of money that represents the maximum amount of credit risks. Receivables from customer agreements comprise completed work that has not been invoiced. Typically, these are fixed or target price projects in which it has been agreed that invoices will be sent after sub-deliveries are accepted. After invoicing, receivables from customer agreements are transferred to accounts receivable. Essential items included in prepayments and accrued income are associated with the accrual of statutory insurance premiums and other accrued expenses.

Other shares and holdings	482	–	482
Total	482	–	482

Other shares include holiday cabins usable by personnel and golf shares.

Accounting principle – financial assets

Financial assets are classified at amortised cost and as financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Classification is based on the business model objective and contractual cash flows of investments or by applying the fair value option at the time of initial acquisition. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the transaction date.

Amortised cost: Financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise accounts receivable and receivables from customer agreements.

6 Capital structureDue to their nature, the carrying amount of short-term accounts receivable and other prepayments and accrued income is their fair value minus the amount of credit losses. At fair value through profit or loss: Both realised and unrealised gains and losses due to fair value changes are recognised in the period in which they arise. Unlisted shares and participations owned by Digia are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Cash and other cash equivalents Fair value hierarchy EUR 1,000 2024 2023 level Bank accounts 18,232 12,404 – Accounting principle – cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of withdrawable bank deposits. Items classified as cash and cash equivalents have a maturity of no more than three months after the acquisition date. Cash and cash equivalents are recognised at fair value. Costs arising from the acquisition of customer contracts Costs arising from the acquisition of customer contracts, including sales commissions for long-term service contracts, are recognised in the balance sheet when the required conditions are met. Commissions and sales are recognised on an accrual basis for the contract period when the services are handed over. The table below shows a breakdown of the changes in capitalised sales commissions during the fiscal year.

EUR 1,000	31 Dec 2024	31 Dec 2023

Capitalised sales commissions in the balance sheet at year-end	812	549

Accounts receivable and receivables from customers on long-term projects Accounts receivable and receivables from customers for long-term projects are measured at amortised cost less credit losses. The credit loss provision is based on management’s estimate of expected credit losses in each accounts receivable category and contractual receivables.

Provision matrix for accounts receivable

Accounts receivable, EUR 1,000	Balance sheet value (gross)	Expected credit loss	Credit loss provision
Not yet due	27,779	0.1%	30

Total	29,622		41
Receivables related to customer contracts	651	0.1%	1

In addition to anticipated credit loss provisions, a customer-specific credit loss provision of EUR 5 thousand has been recognised (2023: EUR 21 thousand). Impairment of financial assets The Group’s credit loss provision is estimated based on expected credit losses on accounts receivable and receivables from customers in long-term projects over their entire period of validity (Note 6.2). Digia applies a simplified provision matrix to recognise the credit risk of accounts receivable. Thus the estimate of the credit loss provision is based on expected credit losses over the entire period of validity. The model based on expected credit losses is predictive and the expected loss share is based on previous loss amounts. The expected credit losses for the entire period are calculated by multiplying the gross carrying amount of unpaid accounts receivable and receivables from customers on long-term projects by the expected loss share in each age category. Changes in expected credit losses are recognised in other operating expenses through profit or loss.

6.3 Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include accounts with a credit facility, bank loans from financial institutions, lease liabilities, conditional additional purchase prices, and accounts payable. Digia did not use derivative instruments in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years. Loans from financial institutions are subject to covenant terms that are described in more detail below.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The Group’s bank loans on 31 December 2024 amounted to EUR 26.6 (32.1) million. Bank loans have floating interest rates tied to six-month Euribor plus a margin. The average interest rate of the loans in 2024 was 4.8 per cent (4.5% in 2023). Total lease liabilities as at 31 December 2024 amounted to EUR 3.3 (5.0) million. During the fiscal year, Digia agreed on one new long-term bank financing of EUR 6.0 million. The loan has a floating interest rate tied to six-month Euribor plus a margin. The loan covenant related to the Group’s solvency and liquidity comprised the following key figure: operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in relation to net debt. The company fulfilled the set loan covenants in 2024 and 2023. The maximum and minimum values specified in the loan covenants, and the realised figures on 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 were:

31 Dec 2024	Covenant value	Realised value
Net debt / EBITDA, max.	3.5	0.5
31 Dec 2023	Covenant value	Realised value
Net debt / EBITDA, max.	3.5	1.2

The company expects that the covenants will not be broken in the next 12 months. Credit facility The company also has EUR 4.5 million in floating rate credit facilities at its disposal. More information on these facilities is provided in Note 6.6 on liquidity risk.

The fair values of Level 3 instruments are based on input data on the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data. Accounts payable have not been included in the table above because the carrying amount of accounts payable is close to their fair value. Bank loans have floating interest rates and their fair value is considered to be equal to their book value, as these values do not differ significantly.

Interest-bearing liabilities fall due as follows:

Accounting principle – financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities are classified in two categories: measured at amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are initially recognised in the accounts at fair value on the basis of the consideration received. Financial liabilities are included in non-current and current liabilities and may be interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing. Loans falling due in less than 12 months are presented under current financial liabilities.

6.6 Financial risks

Financial risk management consists, for instance, of the planning and monitoring of solvency of liquid assets, the management of investments, receivables and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and the management of interest rate risks on non-current interest-bearing liabilities. Digia Plc’s internal and external financing and the management of financing risks is concentrated in the finance and financial management unit of the Group’s parent company. The unit is responsible for the Group’s liquidity, sufficiency of financing, and the management of interest rate and currency risk. The Group is exposed to several financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s risk management seeks to minimise the adverse effects of changes in financial markets on the Group’s earnings. The primary types of financial risks are interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The general principles of risk management are approved by the parent company’s Board of Directors, and the Group’s finance and financial management unit together with the business segments is responsible for their practical implementation.

Interest rate risks

The Group’s interest rate risk is primarily associated with long-term bank loans whose interest rates are linked to Euribor rates. Changes in market interest rates have a direct effect on the Group’s future interest payments. During the 2024 fiscal year, the interest rate on long-term bank loans varied between 3.8% and 5.6% (in 2023, between 2.9% and 5.6%). The impact of a +/–1% change in the loan’s interest rate is EUR 0.3 million per annum. Interest rate developments are monitored and reported on regularly in the Group. Possible interest rate hedges will be made with the appropriate instruments. At the end of the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years, the Group did not have any hedging instruments in force.

Credit loss risk

The Group’s customers are mostly well-known Finnish and foreign companies with well-established credit, and thus the Group is deemed to have no significant credit loss risks. The Group continuously assesses the increase in credit risk after initial recognition on the basis of changes in the default risk. The Group’s policy defines creditworthiness requirements for customers and investment transactions with the aim of minimising credit losses. Services and products are only sold to companies with a good credit rating. The counterparties in investment transactions are companies with a good credit rating. Credit loss risks associated with commercial operations are primarily the responsibility of operational units. The parent company’s finance and financial management unit provides customer financing services in a centralised manner and ensures that the Group’s guidelines are observed with regard to terms of payment and collateral required. The credit loss provision totalled EUR 41 thousand on 31 December 2024 (31 Dec 2023: EUR 43 thousand). The maturity analysis of accounts receivable and receivables from customer agreements for 2024 and 2023 is presented in Note 6.2. The Group has no identified risk concentrations.

Foreign exchange risks

The Group’s currency risks are related to the receivables, liabilities and investments of the Swedish and Danish subsidiaries as well as the Finnish companies’ accounts receivable, accounts payable and additional purchase prices denominated in foreign currency. On 31 December 2024, accounts receivable denominated in foreign currency amounted to EUR 3,571 (4,667) thousand, accounts payable denominated in foreign currency to EUR 1,083 (1,279) thousand and additional purchase prices in foreign currency to EUR 2,931 (2,556) thousand.

Liquidity risk

The Group aims to continuously estimate and monitor the amount of financing required for business operations in order to maintain sufficient liquid funds for financing operations and repaying loans falling due. The Group maintains its immediate liquidity with the help of cash management solutions such as Group accounts and credit facilities at banks. The amount of unwithdrawn standby credit on 31 December 2024 was EUR 4.5 (4.5) million. Cash and cash equivalents on 31 December 2024 amounted to a total of EUR 18.2 (12.4) million. The contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities is presented in Note 6.3.

Reserves

Other funds have consisted of M&A-related structural changes in previous years. Translation differences comprise translation differences arising from the translation of financial statements of non-Finnish units. The unrestricted shareholders’ equity reserve comprises investments similar to shareholders’ equity and the subscription price of shares when a specific decision is made not to enter it in shareholders’ equity.

Dividends

A dividend of EUR 0.18 per share is proposed for the 2024 fiscal year. A dividend of EUR 0.17 per share was paid for the 2023 fiscal year, to a total of EUR 4,501,146.10. Dividends were paid on 3 April 2024.

Accounting principle – dividends

Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors will not be deducted from distributable shareholders’ equity before the Board’s decision has been received.

7.1 Goodwill

Goodwill and impairment testing

Digia’s goodwill has been generated by several acquisitions. Goodwill amounted to EUR 92.8 million at the end of the 2024 fiscal year (31 December 2023: EUR 93.3 million). No business operations were acquired in 2024; the goodwill of the businesses acquired in 2023 accounted for EUR 7.1 million.

Book value, 1 Jan	93,295	85,829
Book value, 31 Dec	92,779	93,295

Accounting principle – goodwill

Goodwill is recognised from the acquisition as the difference between points 1 and 2 below:
1. Sum of the following items:
* The fair value of the consideration paid at the time of acquisition.
* The amount of any non-controlling interest in the object of acquisition
* The fair value of any previously held non-controlling interest in the object of acquisition, in the case of a phased business combination.
2. The net sum of the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

No amortisation is booked on goodwill but it is tested annually for impairment. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. Goodwill is recognised at the original cost from which the impairment is deducted.

Impairment testing of assets

Goodwill impairment testing is performed at Group level, with the Group as the cash-generating unit. The table below shows the distribution of goodwill and balance sheet values of other asset items subject to testing. Impairment testing for the 2024 fiscal year was carried out using the values for 30 September 2024.# Balance Sheet Value of Assets Intangible Subject to Testing

EUR 1,000	Assets Goodwill	Other items	Total
30 Sept 2024	7,842	93,001	–2,904
31 Dec 2023	10,212	93,295	–1,397

In the five-year forecast period, annual growth in net sales is expected to be 3.0 (2023: 5.0) per cent and 2.0 (1.5) per cent thereafter, the average operating profit to amount to 9.5 (9.3) per cent and the pre-tax discount rate to be 11.9 (11.6) per cent. Cash flows after the forecast period have been extrapolated using the net sales growth rate of 2.0 (1.5) per cent and the operating profit margin of 5.3 (8.0) per cent. The discount rate used is the average cost of capital (WACC). Impairment testing indicated a buffer of about EUR 98 million.

Sensitivity Analysis

Management tests the impacts of changes in the significant estimates used in forecasts with sensitivity analyses. The most important factors in goodwill sensitivity analyses are not only the cash flow forecasts and their assumptions, but also the growth percentage of the terminal value and the discount rate used and the effect on goodwill. If -38 per cent had been used as the growth percentage of the terminal value, instead of 2 per cent, the value in use would have corresponded to the value subject to testing. If 23 per cent had been used as the discount rate, instead of 11.9 per cent, the value in use would have corresponded to the value subject to testing. If the operating margin were 3.1 per cent, instead of the average of 9.5 per cent, the value in use would correspond to the value subject to testing. In addition, a sensitivity analysis of net sales growth and operating profit has been carried out. According to the sensitivity analysis, goodwill requires either net sales to remain at the current level with operating profit of 3.7 per cent, or a 2.0 per cent growth in net sales with operating profit of 3.4 per cent.

Significant Estimate – Main Assumptions Used in Impairment Testing of Goodwill

Management applies significant estimates and judgements in assessing the development of the Group’s net sales and costs, the applicable tax rates, and the impact of changes in market conditions on the Group’s earnings trend. The main assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount were the operating profit in the forecast period, long-term growth over the terminal period and the discount rate used. Cash flow forecasts are based on the Group’s actual result and management’s best estimates of future financial performance. Cash flow forecasts include the budgeted figure for the next fiscal year and projected figures for the next five years.

Growth rates are based on management’s estimates of growth in future years. Operating profit data from external research institutes has also been utilised. Growth of 2.0 per cent during the terminal period reflects management’s long-term expectations for Digia’s business growth, taking current interest rates and the overall market situation into consideration. WACC before taxes has been used as the discount factor in these calculations. WACC considers both the expected return on equity and return on debt, calculated using the beta figures, capital structure and tax rates of comparable companies. Growth rates are based on management’s estimates of growth in future years.

Accounting Principle – Impairments

On the balance sheet date, it is estimated whether there is evidence that the value of a tangible or intangible asset may have been impaired. If there is evidence of impairment, the amount recoverable from the asset is estimated. In addition, the recoverable amount is estimated annually on goodwill regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment or not. The need for impairment is reviewed at the level of cash generating units, which refers to the lowest level of unit that is mainly independent of other units and whose cash flows can be separated from other cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill will not be reversed under any circumstances.

Accounting Principle – Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is not booked for land areas. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Machinery and equipment 3—8 years Leasehold improvement expenditure 3—5 years Buildings and structures 25 years The residual value and useful life of assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect any changes in expected economic value. Capital gains and losses on elimination and the transfer of property, plant and equipment are included either in other operating income or expenses.

Accounting Principle – Intangible Assets

Allocated assets related to acquisitions comprise customer agreements, product brands and technologies with a limited useful life. They are entered in the balance sheet under intangible assets and recognised as expenses in the income statement by straight-line depreciation over their useful life, which is typically 2–9 years. Other intangible assets comprise capitalised IT software licenses. The depreciation period of licences is three years. Research costs are recognised as expenses. Development costs are capitalised if they fulfil the capitalisation criteria for development costs. The accounting for cloud computing arrangements depends on whether the cloud-based software classifies as a software intangible asset or a service contract. Those arrangements where the Company does not have control over the underlying software are accounted for as service contracts providing the Company with the right to access the cloud provider’s application software over the contract period. Such arrangements may require consideration by management.The ongoing fees to obtain access to the application software, together with related configuration or customisation costs incurred, are recognised under other operating expenses when the services are received.

Accounting principle – lease agreements

IFRS 16 sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of leases that have been complied with. Under the standard, the lessee shall recognise lease contracts in the balance sheet as a lease liability and related right-of-use asset. At the commencement date of the contract, the lessee recognises a liability for its obligation to make lease payments and an asset for its right to use the leased asset. Interest expenses must be recognised for the liability in the balance sheet and depreciation for the asset.

Digia leases the premises, company cars, equipment and multifunctional devices it uses. The bulk of the lease liability and right-of-use asset in the balance sheet comprises lease contracts for offices. Digia has applied exemptions permitted under IFRS 16 for short-term lease contracts. Such lease contracts with a term of less than 12 months have not been recognised in the balance sheet. In addition, Digia does not recognise an asset and liability in the balance sheet for leases of low value assets. Calculations of the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are based on the company’s estimate of the duration of current lease contracts and potential use of options to extend them. Lease liabilities are described in Note 6.4.

9.4. Basic information on the parent company and accounting policies

Basic information on the company

Digia Plc is the parent company of the Digia Group. It is domiciled in Helsinki and its registered office is at Atomitie 2, 00370 Helsinki. Digia Plc’s active subsidiaries are Digia Finland Ltd and its subsidiaries, Productivity Leap Oy, Digia Sweden AB, Climber International AB and its subsidiaries, and Top of Minds AB.

Accounting policies

The parent company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS). The financial statements are based on original acquisition costs. Book values based on original costs have been reduced to correspond to fair value as necessary. The parent company serves as the Group’s administrative company and charges the Group companies for services rendered.

Pension schemes

The Group’s pension schemes are arranged through a pension insurance company. Pension premiums and expenses allocated to the financial period are based on confirmations received from the insurance company. Pension expenses are recognised as expenses for the year in which they arise.

Leasing payments

Leasing payments are recognised as annual expenses.

Share-based payments

Digia has a share-based incentive scheme where payments are made either in equity instruments or in cash. The company complies with Statement 1998, 15 January 2020 of the Accounting Board (KILA) in the treatment of benefits granted in such schemes. According to the statement, the terms and conditions of a share-based incentive scheme are irrevocably fulfilled only at the end of the incentive period. Therefore, the service commitment required of an employee under the share-based incentive scheme is indivisible by nature – the performance is to be considered to have been rendered on the one hand and received on the other by the company at the end of the incentive period, at which point the employee shall have an irrevocable right to the shares specified in the scheme.

- Other long-term expenses: 3–5 years
Tangible assets
- Buildings and structures: 25 years
- Machinery and equipment: 3–8 years

Auditor’s Report

(Translation of the Finnish original)

To the Annual General Meeting of Digia Plc

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Digia Plc (business identity code 0831312-4) for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024. The financial statements comprise the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policy information, as well as the parent company’s income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes.

In our opinion

the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 3.7 to the consolidated financial statements and note 5 to the parent company financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements. We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing both the parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Reporting Requirements

Information on our audit engagement

We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on 21 March 2022 and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 3 years.

Other information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

With respect to report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions, excluding the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards. In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions. Our opinion does not cover the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Assurance report on the sustainability statement

(Translation of the Finnish original)

To the Annual General Meeting of Digia Plc

We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the group sustainability statement of Digia Plc (business identity code 0831312-4) that is referred to in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and that is included in the report of the Board of Directors for the financial year for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024.

Opinion

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the group sustainability statement does not comply, in all material respects, with:
1) the requirements laid down in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and the sustainability reporting standards (ESRS);
2) the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (EU Taxonomy).# Point 1 above also contains the process in which Digia Plc has identified the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards (double materiality assessment) and the tagging of information as referred to in Chapter 7, Section 22 of the Accounting Act. Our opinion does not cover the tagging of the group sustainability statement with digital XBRL sustainability tags in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 22, Subsection 1(2), of the Accounting Act, because sustainability reporting companies have not had the possibility to comply with that provision in the absence of the ESEF regulation or other European Union legislation.

Basis for Opinion

We performed the assurance of the group sustainability statement as a limited assurance engagement in compliance with good assurance practice in Finland and with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Responsibilities of the Group Sustainability Auditor section of our report. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

We draw attention to the fact that the group sustainability statement of Digia Plc that is referred to in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act has been prepared and assurance has been provided for it for the first time for the financial year for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024. Our opinion does not cover the comparative information that has been presented in the group sustainability statement. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Group Sustainability Auditor’s Independence and Quality Management

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our engagement, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The group sustainability auditor applies International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1, which requires the sustainability audit firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Digia Plc are responsible for:

the group sustainability statement and for its preparation and presentation in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act, including the process that has been defined in the sustainability reporting standards and in which the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards has been identified as well as the tagging of information as referred to in Chapter 7, Section 22 of the Accounting Act and
the compliance of the group sustainability statement with the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088;
such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a group sustainability statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Limitations in the Preparation of a Sustainability Statement

The preparation of the group sustainability statement requires a materiality assessment from the company in order to identify relevant disclosures. This significantly involves management judgment and choices. Group sustainability reporting is also characterised by estimates and assumptions, as well as measurement and estimation uncertainty.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Parent company’s financial statements

The determination of greenhouse gases is subject to inherent uncertainty due to the incomplete scientific data used to determine the emission factors and the numerical values needed to combine emissions of different gases. In addition, when reporting forward-looking information, the company must make assumptions about possible future events and disclose the company’s possible future actions in relation to these events. The actual outcome may be different because predicted events do not always occur as expected.

Responsibilities of the Group Sustainability Auditor

Our responsibility is to perform an assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the group sustainability statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our opinion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of the group sustainability statement.

Compliance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) requires that we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the engagement. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the group sustainability statement, whether due to fraud or error, and obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the engagement in order to design assurance procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the group’s internal control.
Design and perform assurance procedures responsive to those risks to obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Description of the Procedures That Have Been Performed

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. The nature, timing and extent of assurance procedures selected depend on professional judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our procedures included for ex. the following:

We have interviewed the key persons responsible for collecting and reporting the information included in the group sustainability statement.
Through interviews, we gained an understanding of the group’s control environment related to the group sustainability reporting process.
We evaluated the implementation of the company’s double materiality assessment process against the requirements of ESRS standards and the compliance of the information provided for the double materiality assessment with ESRS standards.
We assessed whether the group sustainability statement in material respect meets the requirements of ESRS standards for material sustainability topics:
- We have tested the accuracy of the information presented in the group sustainability statement by comparing the information on a sample basis with supporting company documentation.
We have on a sample basis performed analytical assurance procedures and related inquiries, recalculation and inspected documentation, as well as tested data aggregation to assess the accuracy of the group sustainability statement.
We gained an understanding of the process by which a company has defined taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned economic activities and evaluate the regulatory compliance of the information provided.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the company’s report of Board of Directors and financial statements (the ESEF financial statements) in such a way that they comply with the requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.# Auditor's Report on the ESEF Financial Statements

This responsibility includes:
• preparing the ESEF financial statements in XHTML format in accordance with Article 3 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard
• tagging the primary financial statements, notes and company’s identification data in the consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements with iXBRL tags in accordance with Article 4 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard and
• ensuring the consistency between the ESEF financial statements and the audited financial statements.

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of ESEF financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.

Auditor’s Independence and Quality Management

We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to the engagement we have performed, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Auditor’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to, in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 8 of the Securities Markets Act, provide assurance on the financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s technical regulatory standard. We express an opinion on whether the consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements have been tagged, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard. Our responsibility is to indicate in our opinion to what extent the assurance has been provided.

We conducted a reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000. The engagement includes procedures to obtain evidence on:

whether the primary financial statements in the consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements have been tagged, in all material respects, with iXBRL tags in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard
whether the notes and company’s identification data in the consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements have been tagged, in all material respects, with iXBRL tags in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard
whether there is consistency between the ESEF financial statements and the audited financial statements.

The nature, timing and extent of the selected procedures depend on the auditor’s judgement. This includes an assessment of the risk of material deviations due to fraud or error from the requirements of the Commission’s technical regulatory standard. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

Our opinion pursuant to Chapter 7, Section 8 of the Securities Markets Act is that the primary financial statements, notes and company’s identification data in the consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements of Digia Plc 743700QVAG6OXK5OP587-2024-12-31-fi.zip for the financial year ended 31.12.2024 have been tagged, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.

Our opinion on the audit of the consolidated financial statements of Digia Plc for the financial year ended 31.12.2024 has been expressed in our auditor’s report 25.2.2025. With this report we do not express an opinion on the audit of the consolidated financial statements nor express another assurance conclusion.
