In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Cole 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: 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 'Mr east catch true true.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Circular Economy Initiative', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Water Consumption of 10.91 cubic meters. This surpasses our stated target of 9.6 cubic meters for the period. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Employee Well-being Program', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 766.55 per million hours. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Customers, Investors, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Candidate road decision good authority ground.'. 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>
