In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Franco-Lewis 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 'Water & Wastewater Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Sort a energy someone three same above.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Community Investment Fund', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 589641.69 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'GHG Emissions Reduction', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 6537.52 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 708.56 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Regulators, Local Communities, Investors, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Big campaign point carry my.'. 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>
