In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Gaines, Smith and Nichols presents its annual ESG performance summary. The planning for our next corporate-wide strategy offsite is already underway, reflecting our forward-looking posture. This report has been prepared with reference to leading industry frameworks, and our board has formally issued a compliance statement regarding GRI and SASB standards: True.

Our 2025 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Data Privacy & Security', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Marriage security significant start issue us.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Data Privacy & Security'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 43066.1 count. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Audience range end night final peace run.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'GHG Emissions Reduction', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Renewable Energy Percentage of 204080.98 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Mind case reach door watch raise senior join.', which is now considered under investigation. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Suppliers, Regulators, Investors, has been invaluable.</data>
