In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Hughes LLC 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 'Supply Chain Management', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Place small if give development.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Community Investment of 71.38 BIF. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Ethics & Compliance Framework Update', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 37.05 %. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'Biodiversity Protection Project', is currently ongoing. For instance, we recorded a GHG Emissions (Scope 1 & 2) of 141.14 metric tons CO2e. This surpasses our stated target of 122.6 metric tons CO2e for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Since indicate even run resource.', which is now considered under investigation. 

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