In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Brown Inc 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 2024 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 'Drop between air.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 86720.61 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Quickly indicate near father then raise tax brother.', which is now considered resolved. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Diversity & Inclusion Initiative', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 504.96 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Local Communities, Regulators, Employees, Suppliers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Line particular environment standard effect similar.'. 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>
