In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Vance-Edwards 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 'Supply Chain Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Nor collection dog.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Water Conservation Program', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 44706.16 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Shareholder Rights Enhancement', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 9529.76 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Customers, Employees, Regulators, Local Communities, Suppliers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Military paper box dog job state.'. 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>
