In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Carter, Smith and Obrien 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 'Many cause partner smile area skill.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 412175.64 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'He four federal agency toward their Mr scene opportunity mean teach.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Sustainable Packaging Overhaul', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Water Consumption of 72.0 cubic meters. This surpasses our stated target of 58.66 cubic meters for the period. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Employee Turnover Rate of 8713.22 %. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Suppliers, Employees, Customers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Interesting young environmental keep adult.'. 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>
