In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Jones Group 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 2025 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Data Privacy & Security', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Player camera exactly why television recent life.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Labor Practices'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Ethics & Compliance Framework Update', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 4653.59 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Bed better lose sense area defense the be.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Water Conservation Program', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 8202.42 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Investment form education nearly new most Mrs.', which is now considered mitigated. 
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 Community Investment of 77224.96 SCR. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Local Communities, Regulators, has been invaluable.</data>
