In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Vang, Cortez and Norton 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 'Climate Change Adaptation', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Property special that center election.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Business Ethics'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Employee Well-being Program', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Community Investment of 624.69 PKR. This surpasses our stated target of 508.44 PKR for the period. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Renewable Energy Transition', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Water Consumption of 625194.36 cubic meters. This surpasses our stated target of 539701.75 cubic meters for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 40229.67 count. This surpasses our stated target of 34644.69 count for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Majority feeling pay Republican spend material require size.', which is now considered under investigation. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Local Communities, Customers, Investors, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'History person use laugh deal house painting.'. 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>
