SCOPE OF THE PLAN, RESPONSIBILITY, AND MONITORING Geaplast operates in the "Manufacturing" sector, classified as a high climate-impact sector according to the NACE v2.1 classification. Consequently, the company has established a Climate Transition Plan, for which the organization’s Sole Director holds ultimate responsibility. The operational execution of the plan is managed by a Climate Governance team composed of three members: two external (Sustainability Manager and Energy Manager) and one internal (Financial Manager). The Sole Director, in collaboration with the Climate Governance team, will conduct annual assessments of the plan's progress. Through the plan approved on August 6, 2025, Geaplast has set the following Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction targets by 2027: 12% reduction for Scope 1 + Scope 2 (location-based); 96% reduction for Scope 1 + Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions are currently not disclosed in the plan, as the relevant emissions have not yet been calculated; therefore, no reduction targets have been defined for Scope 3 at this stage. Geaplast’s plan focuses primarily on the energy efficiency of its production process (at the facility in Via Libica 50, Trapani), as this process is responsible for the majority of its GHG emissions (95%), mainly due to four electrically powered extruders. Each extruder consists of an extrusion head and a number of mixers ranging from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5. Plan progress will be monitored through the performance of the photovoltaic (PV) system, which is expected to meet approximately 13% of the energy demand between 2026 and 2027. PLAN DESCRIPTION Geaplast has identified a series of GHG reduction actions, as required by the C3 disclosure, detailing the primary planned actions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, which serve as the decarbonization levers to achieve the plan’s objectives. Scope 1: Low-Carbon Transportation Fleet Electrification: Replacement of a diesel-powered forklift with an electric model. This intervention will shift some GHG emissions toward Scope 2 (location-based), as a slight increase in electricity (+0.14%) will be required to power the electric vehicles. Scope 2: Energy Efficiency Photovoltaic Investment: An investment project for the purchase, installation, and commissioning of a 497 kWp photovoltaic system planned for 2026. The system is expected to reduce energy consumption and associated indirect emissions by 13%. Scope 2: Renewable Energy Green Power Procurement: Purchase of 100% renewable electricity to almost completely decarbonize Scope 2 (market-based) emissions. (Note: The purchase of renewable energy does not affect Scope 2 location-based emissions, as these reflect the average energy mix of the national grid). Estimated Investments Total investments are estimated at approximately €590,000, covering the acquisition of the photovoltaic system and the electric forklift.

3.8.1 Specify any additional details

Organizational boundaries for emission calculations have been defined to include emissions associated with sites owned by Geaplast. This allows for a clear definition of the company's responsibility regarding emissions and potential removals generated by the various activities in which it has a direct and immediate interest. In the reporting year, the company tracked and reported direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its operations. Scope 1 emissions (direct GHG emissions from stationary combustion) and Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased electricity) were calculated according to the location-based approach, as defined by the GHG Protocol and required by the VSME (Voluntary SME Standard). Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were calculated using the SME Climate Hub Business Advanced Calculator, a comprehensive and transparent emission calculation tool that automatically incorporates location-based emission factors sourced from European and international databases. Regarding market-based Scope 2 emissions, the emission factors (kg of CO2 per electric kWh) vary according to the specific energy source used by the company. In this specific case, the 2024 residual mix emission factor for Italy, published by the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB), was applied. For the year 2025, Geaplast calculated its GHG emission intensity by dividing the gross reported emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2, location-based method) by its total revenue.

Ecco la traduzione professionale in inglese del testo, con l'utilizzo della terminologia tecnica corretta in ambito ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) e Climate Risk Assessment. ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS Geaplast has analyzed climate events through Legambiente's National City Climate Observatory (Osservatorio Nazionale Città Clima). Over a 16-year timeframe (2009–2025), a total of 293 climate events were recorded in Sicily, including: Damage from storms/high winds Damage from prolonged droughts River flooding Landslides caused by intense rainfall Damage from hailstorms Damage to historical heritage from intense rainfall Extreme temperatures/heatwaves Storm surges/sea-level rise Infrastructure damage (lightning, rainfall, seismic activity) During the period considered, specifically in 2022, three climate events related to flooding from intense rainfall were recorded in Trapani. Geaplast assessed the degree of exposure and sensitivity to physical climate risks by analyzing the company's specific context (sector, location, and product) in relation to the climate risks identified by the EU Taxonomy within the technical screening criteria for climate change adaptation (Annex A). This was conducted following the risk analysis framework: Risk = Hazard x Exposure x Sensitivity A "High" rating was assigned when a hazard has a direct, non-mitigable, and potentially destructive impact on the facility, core business, or revenue (e.g., drought, floods). A "Low-Medium" rating was assigned when the impact is indirect, limited, or manageable through operational adjustments. Location Risk: The facility on Via Libica is situated in a low-lying industrial area near the Trapani Salt Pans (Saline di Trapani). This increases exposure not only to flooding (events already recorded in the Trapani area in 2022–2023) but also to the long-term risk of sea-level rise. Energy Dependency: Since 95.9% of Geaplast’s emissions stem from electricity consumption, heatwaves represent a critical material risk to operational cost stability and the continuity of production cycles. Value Chain Vulnerability: Geaplast’s customers (farms in Southern Italy) are highly sensitive to wind and hail, which physically destroy plastic sheeting. While this can cause short-term sales peaks, overly frequent extreme weather events (such as chronic drought in Sicily) could undermine the financial stability of agricultural clients, thereby reducing overall demand. Adaptation Strategy: The company has already integrated several adaptation initiatives into its business model. ANALYSIS OF CLIMATE-RELATED TRANSITION RISKS Geaplast has assessed the level of Exposure and Sensitivity regarding Transition Risks (Market/Technology, Energy Taxation, and Regulation) by analyzing how the global shift toward decarbonization and sustainability directly affects its core business (production of polyethylene sheeting). Climate-related transition risks are linked to the process of moving toward a low-carbon economy and arise from multiple factors, such as: The adoption of environmental laws and policies by authorities that may negatively impact certain production activities. Technological progress toward climate-friendly solutions that could render a company’s operations obsolete. Shifts in customer preferences and consumer trust in the company’s brand.
