SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT SUPPLY CHAIN GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE Zetrix AI is committed to preventing and eliminating corruption risks not only within its operations, but also across the Group’s supply chain, which includes vendors, suppliers, contractors and agents. To promote awareness and alignment with the Group’s ABAC expectations, supply chain partners are mandated to complete a Code of Business Ethics – Acknowledgement and Declaration Form. Third-party business partners are required to comply with and sign this form, reinforcing their commitment to uphold Zetrix AI’s ABAC standards. More safeguards are also in place to further reinforce Zetrix AI’s ABAC Policy: • The Group established a Vendor Evaluation Committee that specifically focuses on corruption within the supply chain. • Logistics officers involved in handling road taxes and foreign worker permits are also put through extensive ABAC Policy training. • Zetrix AI also makes periodic audits on supply chain partners, and any entity within the chain that is found not complying with Zetrix AI’s ABAC Policy will be blacklisted and restricted in terms of access to Zetrix AI. In some cases, contract termination and legal action may be taken. • Inclusion of the requirement for at least three quotations to be obtained for all business transactions and all business contracts under Zetrix AI are required to attach the official copy of Zetrix AI’s ABAC Policy. Acknowledgement of this document is mandatory to ensure business partners are fully against corrupt practices and Zetrix AI can continue to maintain good corporate governance. • The Group’s tender process also involves Group representatives visiting vendors’ business premises when it is necessary and feasible to do so. Zetrix AI adopts a broad definition of corrupt practices, which may include elements of bribery, gifts, receiving favours of any kind, misuse of power, theft, fraud, forgery of documents, money laundering, blackmail, using insider information for personal gain, among others. Zetrix AI’s policies also address ESG factors such as anti-corruption, child labour, forced labour, occupational safety and health (“OSH”), minimum wage, gender and racial discrimination, equal opportunities, excessive working hours, collective bargaining, freedom of association, energy use, climate change impacts, water and resource use, biodiversity impacts, waste management and notable environmental issues. The Group holds a firm stance on its ABAC policy and any non-compliance will not be accepted, given that all parties have been provided with pertinent knowledge of the Group’s policies. Any breach of Zetrix AI’s policies will be subjected to appropriate consequences and actions being taken. IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH-RISK SUPPLIERS Zetrix AI identifies and monitors potential high-risk suppliers within its supply chain, where applicable, through an annual assessment that considers factors such as purchase value, critical item suppliers and sole-source suppliers. Suppliers may be classified as higher risk based on the nature of goods or services provided, including IT hardware and software, kiosks, and renovation and maintenance works. The Group conducts its yearly Vendor Performance Evaluation on suppliers with a purchasing value that contributes 80% or more of annual purchases. This is done to ensure the consistent supply from major suppliers and the overall supply chain continues smoothly and with integrity. Data on Zetrix AI’s suppliers’ assessments for the past three years are as follows: FY2023 FY2024 FY2025 Number of suppliers screened/audited for good ESG performance 59 74 80 • Number of suppliers assessed for environmental impacts 59 74 80 • Number of suppliers assessed for social impacts 59 74 80 Number of suppliers removed from procurement list or cautioned for poor ESG performance Nil Nil Nil Number of suppliers endorsed under Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption policies 59 74 80 SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE (cont’d) 83
