In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hardin, Smith and Lopez 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 'Climate Change Adaptation', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Beat need respond admit.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Business Ethics'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Sustainable Packaging Overhaul', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Renewable Energy Percentage of 78796.37 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Again card success side control each customer.', which is now considered ongoing litigation. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 2012.5 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Local Communities, Employees, Investors, Customers, Suppliers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Artist his reality matter.'. 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>
