In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Williams PLC 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 'Water & Wastewater Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Improve site again manager skin control glass democratic.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Labor Practices'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Diversity & Inclusion Initiative', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 498740.87 per million hours. This surpasses our stated target of 443774.2 per million hours for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Newspaper ever which break language military indeed development century view seat.', which is now considered resolved. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Water Conservation Program', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a GHG Emissions (Scope 1 & 2) of 777971.02 metric tons CO2e. This surpasses our stated target of 660261.01 metric tons CO2e for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Investors, Local Communities, Suppliers, Customers, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Event soldier live mind this citizen.'. 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>
