Integrated Annual Report 2024 SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 171 EMPOWERING OUR PEOPLE AND ENRICHING OUR COMMUNITIES OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY GRI 3-3, GRI 403-1, GRI 403-2, GRI 403-3, GRI 403-4, GRI 403-5, GRI 403-6, GRI 403-7, GRI 403-8, GRI 403-9, GRI 403-10 Capitals SDGs H M14 The health and safety of employees, including contractors working on-site, represents a fundamental priority in any industrial operation. Given the nature of the working environments, workers and other relevant stakeholders may face potential hazards such as extreme temperatures, air pollutants or elevated noise levels, which may lead to work-related injuries. Beyond these direct risks, incidents occurring within our operational boundaries may lead to wider consequences, including operational interruptions, legal challenges, and reputational damage. Establishing a strong safety culture, supported by strong and robust management systems and strict adherence to health and safety regulations, significantly enhances the quality of work environments. This approach not only protects our stakeholders from harm but also fosters improved productivity and efficiency. A workforce that operates in a safe setting is better positioned, driving operational success while minimising disruptions. In essence, prioritising health and safety goes beyond compliance — it serves as a vital strategy for sustaining performance, protecting people, and ensuring long-term resilience. WHY IT MATTERS ? The OHS Policy serves as the foundation of a robust safety culture upheld across all manufacturing facilities, encompassing employees, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and visitors. The policy is made accessible on our website at https://www.pressmetal.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance.php. Ensuring Health & Safety Oversight The Group CEO, also a Board member, holds ultimate responsibility for OHS performance across the Group, supported by the Group Environmental, Health, and Safety (“GEHS”) Department. The GEHS Department sets overarching OHS objectives, offering comprehensive support to manufacturing facilities, and monitors progress in minimising incidents and exposure to hazards. At the entity level, EHS Committees — led by senior management and comprising elected representatives from all departments — conduct regular reviews of EHS policies, pinpoint areas for enhancement, and contribute to the development of safety protocols aimed at reducing workplace risks. They also serve as a vital resource for ongoing OHS support, ensuring operational sites remain aligned with Group standards. Quarterly meetings will be held to facilitate communication and deliver updates on performance and progress toward OHS targets. OUR APPROACH
