In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Clark-Nelson 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 'Product Safety', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Education order late.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Product Safety'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Community Investment Fund', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 27.15 per million hours. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Sustainable Packaging Overhaul', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 66866.59 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Follow they lot realize even.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 552003.81 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Local Communities, Suppliers, Investors, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Board try power benefit and nation big.'. 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>
