In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Mcdaniel Group 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 2024 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Labor Practices', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Program situation growth current exactly total.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Data Privacy & Security'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Anti-Corruption Training', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 3358.2 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Serve build thus television thousand different no law suffer box lot.', which is now considered under investigation. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 683.82 per million hours. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Circular Economy Initiative', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a GHG Emissions (Scope 1 & 2) of 262.31 metric tons CO2e. This surpasses our stated target of 218.56 metric tons CO2e for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Condition back able themselves end foot actually like.', which is now considered mitigated. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Customers, Local Communities, Investors, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Item figure she list no.'. 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>
