61 Cloudberry Annual report 2021 Sustainability report For Cloudberry, it is important to be transparent and available for the local stakeholders. During the development phase at Björnetjärnsberget, we held several meetings in the area to open up for a solution-oriented and honest dialogue with local stakeholders, such as hunting groups, neighbours and the politicians of the municipality. The Detail Planning stage “Construction Permit” When a project has been approved, the detailed planning begins. This includes descriptions and drawings of the design of the wind power plant, road sections, foundations, cable trenches, crane sites, dam, and more. In the planning phase, it is imperative to consider environmental impact in the construction phase. This is also an integral part of the negotiations with the suppliers who commit to operate in accordance with the Supplier Code of Conduct. A detailed plan must be approved by the authorities before the actual construction begins. Once the permit is obtained, Cloudberry needs to fulfil several specified environmental conditions in the construction and production phase. For an onshore wind project this may be to establish a follow-up plan on environmental impact during construction. At Hån wind power project, the planning phase included negotiation work with the suppliers to conclude on a just-in-time installation procedure. Planning for one large component storage area instead of storage areas by each turbine, reduces the need for hardened areas, which reduces the total environmental impact. For a hydropower plant this may involve monitoring the area around the power station to identify any changes and needs for risk reducing initiatives. Cloudberry may adopt additional voluntary actions, such as reducing waterflow and installing fish ladders. At the same time, hydro dams also have positive impacts such as limiting the risk of flooding during extreme weather and may also reduce erosion of rivers and streams. The Construction stage “Under Construction” Cloudberry endeavour to minimise our negative impacts. We focus on maximising local benefits as much as possible and prioritise dialogue with stakeholders on our projects. Local value creation is of high importance for Cloudberry. In the construction phase, Cloudberry seeks to engage local entrepreneurs and suppliers. In connection with the Hån wind farm project Cloudberry will publish a database for suppliers and local business partners, an online platform for them to offer their construction and maintenance services to the Hån project. At Hån Cloudberry rents two construction offices from existing local business partners and thereby avoids having to construct an area for temporary Stenkalles Grund For the grid connection at the Stenkalles Grund project at Vänern in Sweden, it is planned for an existing land-based substation to be expanded as opposed to constructing an additional offshore substation. We will also be using an existing logistic port and storage area for most of the project`s works, storage and logistics minimises the use of land area.
