To better understand our climate-related risks and opportunities and to help inform our strategy, WBD conducted a climate-related scenario analysis in 2024 to identify and assess climate-related risks and opportunities that are potentially relevant to WBD.
The analysis examined "low-carbon economy" (LCE) and "high-carbon economy" (HCE) scenarios across various future time horizons and potential impact on our business. The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change's (IPCC) Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6 and International Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero by 2050 pathways were used in an LCE scenario, and the IPCC's RCP 8.5 and IEA Stated Policies pathways were used in an HCE scenario.
Risks were evaluated over short-, medium-, and long-term time horizons, defined as follows: Short-term: 0-2 years; Medium-term: 2-5 years; Long-term: 5+ years. During the 2024 scenario analysis, the following examples of specific climate-related risks and opportunities that may impact our businesses were identified.

Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks are integrated into the organization's overall risk management
In partnership with a third party, we have compiled information on physical climate-related trends, regulatory shifts, and climate-related technologies that could potentially impact the function and operation of WBD's business, through a climate-related risks and opportunities scenario analysis. Climate risks and opportunities were identified through peer benchmarking and consultations with internal stakeholders to determine materiality, and a qualitative climate risk scenario analysis was conducted to assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities.
Our approach to the management of identified climate-related risks focuses on the impacts most relevant to our business and where we have the most opportunity to make progress. Climate-related risk management activities include building infrastructure resilience, investing in renewable energy, driving resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and implementing sustainable production practices.
WBD has an Enterprise Business Resilience (EBR) program, which is designed to ensure continuity and resilience across our business operations. The EBR team collaborates with experts in business or technology to formulate strategies aimed at safeguarding vital processes and technologies.

We measure and report enterprise-level GHG emissions. We are committed to leveraging new technology in support of this effort, identifying emissions-reduction levers we can pursue to potentially reduce our emissions, and developing a roadmap to ensure we can manage climate-related risks and opportunities.
We measure, disclose, and seek to manage Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions and calculation methodology on an annual basis.
