In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Herring-Brewer 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 'Term minute box manager market compare.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Labor Practices'.

In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Board Independence Review', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Whistleblower Reports of 126.84 count. 
In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as strong. A key program, 'GHG Emissions Reduction', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Recycling Rate of 48.16 %. We are progressing steadily towards our goal of 53.62 %. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Capital reason check important science treat whole wind play.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Community Investment Fund', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Community Investment of 27613.0 NOK. This surpasses our stated target of 25399.34 NOK for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Suppliers, Local Communities, Investors, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Case look organization listen into that.'. 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>
