We have implemented several initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint. • We report monthly and quarterly carbon emission disclosures to identify variance to reduction plans and identify corrective actions early. • Undertook a strategic review of international conference travel to minimise unnecessary business travel and Implemented a Sustainable Business Travel Policy that sets outs a clear business travel hierarchy. • To ensure continuous improvement in sustainability performance, an Environmental Management System (EMS) has been developed and implemented. • We are committed to sustainability frameworks, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), EcoVadis, SME Climate Hub and CDP assessments, to enhance our environmental, social and governance performance. • To support low-emission commuting, an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme was introduced for employees and implemented the ‘cycle-to-work’ scheme. • Implemented a supplier code of conduct with minimum environmental standards. • Provide annual refresher training to all staff on carbon literacy. We remain committed to further reducing our carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability across its operations. As part of our ongoing carbon reduction strategy, we are planning to implement additional measures including but not limited to the following: • We will continue to review our supply chain to identify opportunities for minimising carbon emissions. This will involve working closely with suppliers to enhance sustainability practices, prioritise low-carbon alternatives, and ensure that our procurement processes support our overall carbon reduction objectives.

These are reported in our KPI dashboard and presented monthly to the Sustainability Committee and senior management team. 2. Assessment: identified risks are evaluated based on their potential impact and likelihood, using both qualitative and quantitative metrics and reported in the risk register. 3. Management: action plans are developed to mitigate risks and capitalise on opportunities, prioritised based on significance and available resources. Areas Covered: Our assessments cover all areas of our business, including service delivery, supply chain management, and operational practices. We also consider the environmental impact of our clinical research studies and mobile spirometry services. Exclusions are limited to activities outside our operational control. Time Horizons Covered: Our risk assessments consider both short-term (1-2 years) and long-term (3-5 years) time horizons, allowing us to anticipate emerging risks and opportunities related to environmental sustainability. Types of Risks and Opportunities Considered: We consider various types of risks, including regulatory changes, climate change impacts, operational inefficiencies, and reputational risks. Opportunities include resource efficiency improvements, innovations in service delivery, and potential partnerships that enhance our sustainability initiatives.
