Our Sustainability Policy provides a clear framework for integrating sustainability principles into all levels of company operations. The policy aims to meet current needs without compromising future resources, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable development and systems. It outlines the responsibility of all employees, from the board of directors to management, in implementing these policies and procedures. The document also assists in dealing with risks transparently and systematically, ensuring intergenerational equity, conserving biodiversity and promoting good governance among other principles.

Furthermore, it links sustainability with internal control components like risk management and monitoring for effective functionality. These initiatives are supported by related policies on environmental protection, hazardous material management, recycling, energy conservation and emissions trading. Thus, this policy can serve as a guide for businesses seeking to incorporate sustainability into their core strategies while maintaining regulatory compliance and contributing positively to environmental protection efforts.

Under this policy, sustainable development means development that meets present needs without compromising the future principles of sustainability, which normally include:

• Dealing transparently and systemically with risk, uncertainty and irreversibility
• Ensuring appropriate valuation, appreciation and restoration of nature
• Integrating environmental, social, human, and economic goals in policies and activities
• Ensuring equal opportunity, community participation and a sustainable community
