• Second audited Sustainability Report published in line with VSME framework reinforcing reporting credibility and transparency
• ESG targets remain on track, supported by substantial improvement across key KPIs

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, 6 May 2026 – SFC Energy AG (“SFC,” F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), an international technology leader, providing reliable hybrid energy systems for public security, defense, industry, and critical infrastructure, today published its second audited Sustainability Report, prepared in accordance with the VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs).

The report underscores SFC’s continued execution against clearly defined ESG KPIs, with a focus on operational scalability, transparency, and risk management. In 2025, SFC further advanced its ESG targets: the share of renewable electricity across operations increased to 69% (previous year: 55%), recyclable packaging rose to 74% (previous year: 56%), and women in senior management reached 45% (previous year: 40%), highlighting consistent operational improvements and disciplined ESG execution.

Absolute greenhouse gas emissions increased in line with business growth and international expansion, while emissions intensity remained broadly stable, reflecting improved operational efficiency at scale. Based on externally validated scientific modelling aligned with global climate frameworks, SFC remains on track within its emissions pathway consistent with the Paris Agreement.

SFC has now sold more than 90,000 fuel cells since its inception. These fuel cell systems contribute to the decarbonisation of energy supply in mobile, stationary and off-grid applications. Based on application-specific assumptions, estimated avoided emissions are in the range of 5,000 to 8,000 tCO₂e. These estimates are derived from modelled scenarios and are subject to variability depending on usage conditions.

In 2025, SFC participated in the CDP framework for disclosing climate-related information for SMEs for the first time. The company achieved a B rating, which is currently the highest possible in the 'SME' category. This positions SFC among the leading reporters in its peer group and strengthens the credibility of ESG data used by capital markets participants. SFC also improved its ESG rating with S&P, reflecting continued progress in governance structures, disclosure quality, and ESG risk oversight.

Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG: “Since inception, SFC Energy AG has been guided by a clear long-term vision: enabling ‘Clean energy for generations. Anytime, anywhere’. Our products are inherently aligned with the global transition to clean energy. Sustainability is therefore deeply embedded in our culture and core business model, not treated as an add-on. We have built transparent processes and robust governance structures across our value chain to ensure accountability and measurable ESG progress. This foundation enables us to scale responsibly while maintaining strong operational and sustainability standards. As we continue to expand globally, we remain committed to internationally recognized frameworks and to continuously improving our ESG performance and reporting, with the aim of creating long-term sustainable value.”

The full audited Sustainability Report 2025 is available on the company’s website.
