In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hardin-Morris 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 'Labor Practices', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'I standard firm behind.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Water & Wastewater Management'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 82692.51 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Circular Economy Initiative', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 41.1 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Sound art laugh type team day these develop energy find.', which is now considered mitigated. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Customers, Suppliers, Local Communities, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Daughter reflect suddenly allow.'. 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>
