63 Cloudberry Annual report 2022 Sustainability report operation projects. We have a zero-incident target for injuries that cause absence from work, and we work steadily to arrive at a stage where there are no incidents causing harm to people`s health and safety, nor any serious material or environmental damages in the development, construction, or operations phases in our projects and daily operations. Cloudberry’s own employees are predominately office-based, thus our biggest health and safety risks are among our suppliers and contractors. Construction is an inherently high-risk activity, and we know that our operations have the potential to negatively impact the health and safety of our value-chain workers.

The causes of the incidents were thoroughly investigated, and corrective measures were implemented to reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future. There were no injuries or material damages detected at the site of either incident. At Øvre Kvemma, a Norwegian hydropower plant construction site, an unintended discharge of sludge was reported during summer 2022. An investigation commenced immediately. Shortly after the incident the County Governor (No: Statsforvalteren) concluded that no adverse impacts were caused on the environment and the case was closed. Cloudberry will take over the Øvre Kvemma hydropower plant after commissioning in the first half of 2024. We are actively engaged with the current owner to ensure learning and reduced risk of similar incidents in the future. Health and safety risks at Cloudberry’s construction and operational projects will increase as the
