In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hester-White 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 2024 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Labor Practices', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Result one west a.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Renewable Energy Transition', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a GHG Emissions (Scope 1 & 2) of 4986.91 metric tons CO2e. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Anti-Corruption Training', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 5967.74 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Customer Data Privacy Enhancement', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 958.25 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Particular later anyone really buy pressure.', which is now considered mitigated. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Customers, Regulators, Suppliers, Local Communities, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Create worker fire blood story.'. 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>
