Reporting Boundaries
This report covers environmental and operational data for the Soiltech Group for the reporting year 2025, based on the principle of operational control.
Soiltech ASA (parent company) is the sole contributor to Scope 1, Scope 2 and other environmental indicators such as energy use, water consumption and waste generation, as it is the only entity with office and workshop facilities under Soiltech's operational control. A single employee based in a shared office facility in Bergen is excluded from Scope 2 reporting, as energy consumption is not separately metered and is considered immaterial.
The remaining group entities, as listed in the table above, have no physical office or operational facilities and are therefore excluded from Scope 1 and Scope 2 reporting. Their personnel work on third-party offshore installations where Soiltech does not have operational control over energy use or emissions. In addition to permanent employees, Soiltech engages approximately 25 agency personnel, who are excluded from organizational boundary considerations where relevant.
Soiltech has updated the baseline year for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions to 2025. The previous base year was 2022, with different emission factor sources used from period 2022 to 2024. From 2025 onwards, EMBER emission factors will be applied for Scope 2 location-based emissions. Due to changes in emission factor sources, results are not fully comparable across years, even where electricity consumption remains at similar levels. To ensure consistency in reporting and progress tracking, 2025 has been set as the new base year. The reporting approach is otherwise consistent with prior periods.

GHG reduction targets and climate transition | C3 54(e), 55-56, 159-163
Scope 1
Planned actions include reducing fuel consumption through more efficient use of company vehicles and workshop equipment and minimizing unnecessary driving. The company will also assess opportunities to transition to low- or zero-emission alternatives, such as electric vehicles and forklifts, where operationally feasible. In addition, regular maintenance of vehicles and equipment will be prioritized to ensure optimal fuel efficiency.
Scope 2
Planned actions include continued monitoring and optimization of energy consumption in office and workshop facilities, as well as improving energy efficiency through operational measures. The company will also assess opportunities to reduce indirect emissions related to electricity consumption by engaging with building owners on energy-efficient solutions.
Scope 3
While no formal reduction targets have been set for Scope 3 emissions, the company aims to limit emissions from business travel where feasible. This includes increased use of digital meeting solutions, improved planning of travel activities, and prioritizing lower-emission transport options when possible.
A significant share of business travel is related to offshore personnel commuting to work, which requires air travel due to geographical distribution and operational requirements. This inherently limits reduction potential in this category. Nevertheless, the company seeks to promote awareness and more sustainable travel choices where operationally feasible.
Climate transition
Soiltech has not yet established a formal climate transition plan but has initiated a phased approach to strengthen its climate management over time. In the near term, the company focuses on improving data quality and transparency across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, including engagement with value chain partners. Over time, Soiltech aims to identify and implement practical emission reduction measures, particularly related to energy use and business travel, while continuing to integrate climate considerations into operations and decision-making. The company will assess the development of a more formalised transition plan as its data foundation and understanding of emission drivers improve.

V3ME Sustainability Report 2025 Soiltech ASA
Climate risks | C4 57, 164-166
Description of climate risks and changes | 57 (a)
We have identified several climate-related hazards and transition events that could impact our operations. Physical hazards include extreme weather events offshore that may disrupt operations or damage equipment at customer sites. Transition events are mainly driven by the global energy transition, tightening emissions and discharge regulations, changing customer preferences, and potential shifts in investment patterns. The same regulatory drivers also represent a business opportunity, as stricter environmental requirements increase demand for our treatment technologies.
Description of how the company has evaluated the impact of these risks on its business, assets, and supply chain | 57 (b)
Soiltech has assessed its exposure and sensitivity to climate-related risks through an internal double materiality assessment conducted in 2025, drawing on existing risk registers (environmental, quality and working environment management systems), supplier risk assessments, stakeholder analysis, and management reviews. Direct climate risk to own assets is assessed as low, as Soiltech does not own fixed infrastructure — equipment is deployed at customer-operated sites. Sensitivity to transition risks is moderate, as our primary customer segment is subject to increasing regulatory and market pressure. This exposure is partially offset by the fact that stricter environmental regulation directly increases demand for Soiltech's services.
Time frames for when these climate risks or changes might happen | 57 (c)
Physical hazards such as extreme weather events represent a short to medium term exposure (0-5 years), linked to ongoing offshore operations. Transition risks driven by regulatory tightening and shifting emissions standards are assessed as medium term (2-5 years), as these developments are already observable in our industry. The long-term shift in our primary customer segment as part of the broader energy transition is considered a long-term risk (6-30 years). Opportunities arising from stricter environmental requirements and potential expansion into new sectors are similarly assessed on a medium to long-term horizon.
Description of steps to adapt to climate change | 57 (d)
To mitigate these risks, the Group focuses on energy-efficient technologies that reduce emissions and promote responsible resource management, helping to lower sensitivity to these hazards and transition events. Soiltech's treatment technologies operate significantly below current regulatory discharge limits, positioning the company favourably should environmental standards become more stringent in the future. This technological margin represents both a risk mitigation measure and a business opportunity in a market with increasing environmental requirements.
Potential adverse effects of climate risks on financial performance or business operations | C4 58, 164-166
| Risk Description | Risk Severity |
|---|---|
| Operational disruption from extreme weather events offshore | Low |
| Long-term reduction in oil and gas activity affecting primary customer base | Medium |
While climate-related matters are not expected to have a critical effect on our assets, provisions, or future cash flows, we acknowledge that broader industry-wide climate risks could indirectly affect our operations over time.

| Total water withdrawal | ~503.7 | ~718 |
Water withdrawal for Soiltech's operations is limited to its main office and workshop facility in Sandnes, Norway, which is located within a shared multi-tenant building.
The total water consumption for the building in 2025 was approximately $1,540\mathrm{m}^3$. Soiltech leases $3,231\mathrm{m}^2$ out of a total building area of $6,932\mathrm{m}^2$, corresponding to approximately $46.6\%$ of the total floor space. Based on this, Soiltech's estimated water withdrawal amounts to approximately $718\mathrm{m}^3$ for the reporting period.
This estimate is based on proportional allocation by leased area and reflects typical office and workshop usage. No production or process water is used at this location.
Soiltech does not operate in water-stressed areas, and no water withdrawal occurs in such regions.
Reduction and efficiency measures:
- Collaboration with other tenants and the building owner to promote water efficiency
- Monitoring of annual water consumption and awareness initiatives
- Implementation of basic efficiency measures such as leak checks and water-saving fixtures
All water is sourced from the public supply network and discharged to the municipal sewer system.
Due to the nature of the company's operations and limited water use, water consumption is not considered a material environmental aspect.

Resource use, circular economy and waste management | 87
Annual waste generation: Total annual generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste | 38(a,b), 95-107
Waste figures are estimated based on Soiltech's leased share of a multi-tenant facility (3,231 m² out of 6,932 m², corresponding to approximately 46.6% of total building area). Waste data is provided at building level and is not separately measured per tenant. Hazardous and non-hazardous waste, as well as treatment categories, are therefore allocated on a pro-rata basis as a reasonable proxy. The hazardous waste figure reflects a one-time event in 2025, where Soiltech assumed responsibility for the declaration and disposal of waste generated during the cleaning of the building's oil separator. This was not part of Soiltech's regular operational waste generation.

Circular economy principles | 37, 94
We integrate circular economy principles (CEP) into our business practices at Soiltech ASA.
- Implementation of the "Eliminate waste and pollution" principle
We strive to reduce waste and pollution at the source by developing and deploying clean technologies that aim to minimize emissions and limit the use of harmful chemicals.
- Implementation of the "Circulate products and materials at their highest value" principle At the core of our business model is the commitment to keeping resources in productive use for as long as possible. We focus on the treatment, recycling, and sustainable handling of contaminated water and solid industrial waste streams, enabling recovered materials to be reused instead of discarded. Our technologies are specifically designed to prioritize reuse and recovery, particularly in water and waste treatment processes, ensuring that materials retain their highest value within circular cycles.
- Implementation of the "Regenerate nature" principle By treating and recycling contaminated water and industrial waste, Soiltech reduces harmful impacts on land and ecosystems, contributing directly to the regeneration of nature.
Annual mass-flow of relevant materials used | 38(c), 108-109
In 2025, Soiltech significantly increased its use of materials, primarily driven by the construction of new equipment to support company growth and operational expansion. The total material use was dominated by carbon steel, with approximately 561 tonnes used during the reporting period. Stainless steel represents a minor share of the total material consumption.
The increase compared to 2024 reflects a higher level of activity and investment in new treatment units. While this leads to increased material use in the short term, the equipment is designed for long operational lifetimes and repeated use across multiple projects. Soiltech places emphasis on maintaining and reusing equipment where possible, extending the lifetime of steel-based units and thereby reducing the need for frequent replacement. This supports more efficient use of materials over time. Material use is therefore closely linked to both operational growth and the company's approach to resource efficiency and lifecycle management.

*Employee turnover rate is calculated using the following formula:
$$ \frac{\text{Number of employees who left during the reporting year}}{\text{Average number of employees during the reporting year}} = \frac{100}{10} $$
During the reporting year, 13 employees left the company and the average number of employees was 146.
Accordingly, the employee turnover rate is $(13/146) \times 100 = 8.9\%$.
** This % reflects Norwegian Offshore employees.

Conclusion and future goals
Summary
In 2025, Soiltech has further developed its ESG framework by improving data quality, transparency, and governance structures. The baseline year for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions has been updated to reflect changes in emission factor sources.
During the year, Soiltech has also strengthened its policy framework. Several policies have been updated, consolidated, and clarified to better reflect the company's operations, regulatory expectations, and best practices. This includes the introduction of new policies, integration of climate-related topics, and the establishment of a unified Code of Conduct, resulting in a more structured and coherent governance framework.
The company continues to integrate ESG considerations into its operations, including efforts related to responsible business conduct, supplier engagement, and risk management. While no formal reduction targets have been set for all emission categories, Soiltech remains committed to identifying practical measures to limit its environmental footprint over time.
Looking ahead
In 2026 and beyond, our priorities include:
- Establishing emission reduction targets based on the 2025 baseline and further improving the quality and coverage of emissions data, particularly for Scope 3.
- Continuing to implement and operationalize the updated policy framework across the organization, ensuring alignment with daily operations and decision-making.
- Identifying and implementing practical measures to reduce energy use and emissions from operations and business travel, where feasible.
- Strengthening ESG awareness internally and maintaining active engagement with suppliers on ESG-related topics.
- Further developing due diligence processes to better identify, assess and mitigate ESG-related risks across the value chain.
