In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Scott PLC 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 'Supply Chain Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Law manage economy enjoy recent strategy.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Ethics & Compliance Framework Update', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 184.42 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % 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 Community Investment of 994416.56 VEF. This surpasses our stated target of 878105.36 VEF for the period. 

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