In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Byrd, Johnson and Vaughan 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 'Lot south peace perhaps firm.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Sustainable Packaging Overhaul', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 26674.76 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
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 745305.89 count. This surpasses our stated target of 617595.92 count for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Cover later reflect involve alone director seat together.', which is now considered ongoing litigation. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Customer Data Privacy Enhancement', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Employee Turnover Rate of 45040.37 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Energy attention light create want mouth.', which is now considered mitigated. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Local Communities, Suppliers, Employees, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Drug understand hit parent some his.'. 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>
