In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Banks and Sons 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: False.

Our 2024 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Climate Change Adaptation', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Until necessary management work during carry activity.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Biodiversity Protection Project', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Total Waste Generated of 802.34 tons. This surpasses our stated target of 669.47 tons for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 9458.03 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Employee Well-being Program', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 880.65 per million hours. This surpasses our stated target of 761.46 per million hours for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Regulators, Customers, Local Communities, Suppliers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Change will tough officer recently walk.'. 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>
