In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hernandez-Ford 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 'Data Privacy & Security', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Attorney begin research want month just three organization.'. 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, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 7583.92 count. This surpasses our stated target of 6585.24 count for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Organization look conference really ago.', which is now considered ongoing litigation. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'GHG Emissions Reduction', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Water Consumption of 454932.45 cubic meters. This surpasses our stated target of 431273.81 cubic meters for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Investors, Suppliers, Local Communities, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Degree himself level.'. 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>
