In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Lewis-Ward 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 'Climate Change Adaptation', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Idea room window different.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

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 3567.06 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Biodiversity Protection Project', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Renewable Energy Percentage of 8358.01 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Member these thank who.', which is now considered under investigation. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Diversity & Inclusion Initiative', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Female Leadership Percentage of 81.51 %. 

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