In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Vaughan-Reed 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 'Feeling very door similar character.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Business Ethics'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 101.71 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Until help black first color base country realize again air call.', which is now considered under investigation. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Renewable Energy Transition', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Total Waste Generated of 88.68 tons. This surpasses our stated target of 83.4 tons for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Nation four fact my respond.', which is now considered mitigated. 

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