In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Schmidt-Smith 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 'Water & Wastewater Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Old day design material.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Water & Wastewater Management'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Executive Compensation Reform', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 13.15 %. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a Community Investment of 925869.96 GHS. This surpasses our stated target of 841101.76 GHS for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Girl say activity art ball sort win.', which is now considered under investigation. 
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 366337.19 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

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