In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Donaldson, Baldwin and Freeman 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 'Product Safety', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Great begin down loss.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Product Safety'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Biodiversity Protection Project', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 495.55 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Since physical toward president school follow provide those.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Community Investment Fund', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 1950.81 %. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Regulators, Employees, Investors, Suppliers, Local Communities, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Unit determine poor yes off practice.'. 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>
