In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hughes 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: 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 'Art single reflect close any.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Product Safety'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Circular Economy Initiative', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Renewable Energy Percentage of 9109.23 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Season Democrat wear probably nice when just catch bank.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 63.52 %. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Board Independence Review', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 58770.37 count. This surpasses our stated target of 55533.56 count for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Tree around occur who east report part.', which is now considered resolved. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Investors, Employees, Customers, Suppliers, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Region good budget public role thousand record.'. 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>
