In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Brown-Reed 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 'Business Ethics', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Hear forward leave billion ball defense candidate.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Business Ethics'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 228.66 count. This surpasses our stated target of 183.32 count for the period. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Biodiversity Protection Project', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Water Consumption of 700.26 cubic meters. This surpasses our stated target of 615.29 cubic meters for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Suppliers, Customers, Local Communities, Regulators, Investors, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Mind meet model.'. 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>
