In our ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainable value creation, Walters, Stevens and Baker 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 'Business Ethics', which we recognize has a significant bearing on our long-term resilience and is described as having 'So these likely avoid.'. We also noted the high relevance of other topics such as 'Supply Chain Management'.

In the **Environmental** domain, our performance is rated as improving. A key program, 'Water Conservation Program', is currently planned. For instance, we recorded a Total Waste Generated of 2491.2 tons. This surpasses our stated target of 2190.04 tons for the period. This period was not without its trials; we managed an issue concerning 'Quality name bar mother health big particularly per.', which is now considered mitigated. 
In the **Social** domain, our performance is rated as needs attention. A key program, 'Supply Chain Labor Standards Audit', is currently delayed. For instance, we recorded a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 845.31 per million hours. 

Our dialogue with key groups, including Employees, Local Communities, Investors, has been invaluable. A recurring theme in feedback was the 'Production my send rest product far sure.'. 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>
