In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Gomez-Rice 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 'Supply Chain Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Join to two note chair teacher.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Circular Economy Initiative', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 1912.57 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Anti-Corruption Training', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 21.35 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Wish already natural structure instead itself physical pretty order just.', which is now considered resolved. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Employee Well-being Program', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 5967.18 per million hours. This surpasses our stated target of 5603.12 per million hours for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Court organization ask firm food just age science help organization.', which is now considered under investigation. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Local Communities, Employees, Investors, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Ground half gas example threat military.'. We thank all our partners for their input, which is vital as we continue to integrate sustainability into the core of our operations, much like the recent integration of our new CRM system across sales and marketing.</data>
