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 'Business Ethics', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Thank themselves quite information increase recent nature.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 551.56 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period.
