Climate strategy and planning, Switch to renewable electricity, Energy efficient buildings and offices, Material circularity and waste reduction, Product/service design innovation

3.7.2 Describe your actions taken to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the reporting period*

Our emission monitoring is conducting by our sustainability team, which is well-organised and educated about sustainability. At the half of 2024, we started to purchase I-REC certified renewable energy from our electricity distributor. By this way, we impact our market-based emissions cleared. Our production facility equipped energy-feasible. Thanks to this plant design, energy consumption is not only human monitored, but also automatic. The packaging strategy of us were revised lately to consumpt less plastic in same performance. By this step, we reduce our plastic consumption nearly %70 per pallet. The waste management is applies as a natural behavior in our site. The rejected products and product ovarages collect properly to refeed next producings. The total amount always on track and minimizing the production wastes is a priority. Also our R&D team is on the work for creating recycled material grade product group.

For our first emission calculation year, we worked with an external consultancy. This is not only a certification but also a learning journey. They share with us the verified calculation table that includes all calculation details, emission factors, strategy and methodology. We detected this first year (2024) as reference and continue all our calculations by this verified calculator (with upload revised emission factors). Also, for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, HEXPOL group uses Microsoft Sustainability Manager Programme that all units can enters their datas and Sustainability manegement verify them internally.

The Hotspot analysis shows that the main carbon emission in 2024 is moving new factory and purchasing production equipments, machineries and capital goods. The total 2024 emissions 58% of capital goods, 32% of purchased goods and services. In 2025, this ratio changed to 77% of purchased goods and services and 7% location based-purchased electricity. The market based electricity is 0 due to renewable energy usage. That would be not the best way to compare the emissions with "moving" year but it is the only way now, we would change our base year after see the 2026 and 2027 emissions.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?*

Reducing scope 3 emissions, Balancing emission reductions with business growth, Other challenges (please specify)

Specify other challenges*

The main challange of our emissions is from the raw materials that we used. As we HFFR cable compounding manufacturer, the main raw materials of us are PE and EVA based plastics and flame retardant inorganic materials. The plastic manufacturing has a huge carbon emission that affects our final emissions. The best solution to minimize or notralize our emissions is carbon offset programmes before the net zero goal year.

7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?*

No
