Independent Sustainability Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report
Limited Assurance Conclusion
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the consolidated sustainability statement
of Hafnia Limited (the «Company»), included in the ESG section of the Board of Directors' report (the
«Sustainability Statement»), as at 31 December 2024 and for the year then ended.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come
to our attention that causes us to believe that the Sustainability Statement is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 2-3, including:
• compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including that the
process carried out by the Company to identify the information reported in the Sustainability
Statement (the «Process») is in accordance with the description set out in the section ESRS 2
subsection IRO-1: Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks
and Opportunities; and
• compliance of the disclosures in the Environmental section, subsection EU Taxonomy
Reporting in 2024 of the Sustainability Statement with Article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852
(the «Taxonomy Regulation»).
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on
Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance engagements other than audits or
reviews of historical financial information («ISAE 3000 (Revised)»), issued by the International
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Sustainability Auditor’s
Responsibilities section of our report.
Our Independence and Quality Management
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements as required by relevant laws
and regulations in Norway and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants (IESBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity,
professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design,
implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory
requirements.

Responsibilities for the Sustainability Statement
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (Management) are responsible for designing and
implementing a process to identify the information reported in the Sustainability Statement in
accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing this Process in the ESRS 2 section, subsection IRO-1:
Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities of the
Sustainability Statement. This responsibility includes:
• understanding the context in which the Group's activities and business relationships take
place and developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders;
• the identification of the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to
sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect, or could reasonably be
expected to affect, the Group's financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to
finance or cost of capital over the short-, medium-, or long-term;
• the assessment of the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to
sustainability matters by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and
• making assumptions that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Management is further responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, in accordance
with the Norwegian Accounting Act section 2-3, including:
• compliance with the ESRS;
• preparing the disclosures in the Environmental section, subsection EU Taxonomy Reporting in
2024 of the Sustainability Statement, in compliance with the Taxonomy Regulation;
• designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control that Management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statement that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
• the selection and application of appropriate sustainability reporting methods and making
assumptions and estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Statement
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, Management is required to prepare
the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in
the future and possible future actions by the Group. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since
anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
Sustainability Auditor’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about
whether the Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Statement as a whole.
As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement, in relation to the Process, include:
• Obtaining an understanding of the Process, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion
on the effectiveness of the Process, including the outcome of the Process;
• Considering whether the information identified addresses the applicable disclosure
requirements of the ESRS; and
