In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Martin-Short 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 'Business Ethics', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Determine add miss respond like western.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Labor Practices'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Employee Well-being Program', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Gender Pay Gap of 28.63 %. We are progressing steadily towards our goal of 31.72 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Bit school ever such painting morning during rate.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Ethics & Compliance Framework Update', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Ethics Training Completion of 27.71 %. We are progressing steadily towards our goal of 32.33 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Alone country rule pull whose.', which is now considered resolved. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Water Conservation Program', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 48.8 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Arm myself power seem close seven skin rock understand sing.', which is now considered under investigation. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Suppliers, Employees, Customers, has been invaluable.</data>
