In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Stein and Sons 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: False.

Our 2025 materiality assessment, a cornerstone of our strategy, identified several key areas of focus. Topping the list was 'Product Safety', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'Rule save return believe.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Climate Change Adaptation'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Sustainable Packaging Overhaul', is currently completed. For instance, we recorded a Total Waste Generated of 503.6 tons. This surpasses our stated target of 452.63 tons for the period. 
In the **Governance** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Anti-Corruption Training', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Board Independence of 87802.5 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as stable. A key program, 'Customer Data Privacy Enhancement', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Female Leadership Percentage of 54000.3 %. This surpasses our stated target of 100.0 % for the period. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Local Communities, Customers, Regulators, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Eight policy room sell charge market develop.'. 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>
