Amprion scores top marks in Sustainable Fitch ESG ratings

  * Further improvements in the ESG rating confirm Amprion's successful
    sustainability strategy

  * ESG ratings of '2' confirmed in all three categories, Entity, Instrument
    and Framework

* ESG entity score increased from 70 to 76


Transmission system operator Amprion has once again received an outstanding
ESG rating from renowned rating agency Sustainable Fitch.

Sustainable Fitch assigns ESG ratings on a scale from one to five, where '1'
represents full alignment with ESG best practices.

Amprion as an entity was once again scored at '2'. The increase in the ESG
entity score from 70 to 76 confirms the continuous improvements and the
positive contribution that Amprion makes to the environment and society.

The rating of '2' for Amprion's Green Finance Framework and its outstanding
green bonds was also confirmed.

"The improvements in the Sustainable Fitch ratings are the result of joint
efforts and the focus on implementing our successful sustainability
strategy. The thoroughly positive assessment of our sustainability
performance in all three categories, Entity, Green Finance Framework and our
green bonds, is an important foundation stone for our long-term success on
the capital market," says Peter Rüth, Chief Financial Officer of Amprion.

In its ESG rating process, Sustainable Fitch assesses the sustainability
performance of the entity, the Green Finance Framework and the outstanding
green financial instruments separately. This provides investors with a point
of reference when assessing risk.

In its assessment, Sustainable Fitch spotlights Amprion's reporting in
accordance with the international Global Reporting Initiative standards and
the increased transparency it provides by publishing the Amprion Green
Finance Investor Report on a regular basis. This enables stakeholders to
clearly gauge the entity's sustainability performance. Other important
factors for the rating result include the detailed disclosure of greenhouse
gas emissions, an appropriate risk management system and Amprion's approach
to human and labour rights, which is in line with market best practices.

In addition to Sustainable Fitch, rating agency Sustainalytics also rates
Amprion on sustainability. At Sustainalytics, Amprion ranks among the top
companies worldwide in the industry and the region. It currently has an ESG
rating of 9.0. This puts Amprion in the best possible category, 'negligible
risk'.
