The company integrates environmental management into its operations; to this end, 86% of its own operations (factories over which it has financial control) are certified to the ISO 14001 standard. This percentage rises to 78% if we include all factories within the scope of this Report. The company\u2019s inorganic growth means that new plants are progressively being added to this certification.<\/p>

The roll-out of the Sygris SGI tool as a means of monitoring and measuring relevant environmental data and information continues to progress, with the Laser, GMH and Hidria division plants now reporting via this system this financial year. Defining improvement measures for reporting and ensuring the reliability of Sygris data are the objectives set out within the framework of the SGI. Overall, Gonvarri continues to improve in monitoring the environmental impacts arising from its activities, identifying opportunities for improvement.<\/p>

In the Solar Steel division, we hold EN 1090-1 certification for Factory Production Control (FPC). This certification guarantees compliance with the European regulatory framework and the correct application of the CE marking, ensuring controlled and traceable processes that reinforce product safety, structural reliability and accountability for declared performance, whilst promoting durability, the efficient use of materials and the reduction of faults, rework and premature replacements, minimising indirect environmental impacts throughout the life cycle and integrating good governance through control, audit and continuous improvement requirements.<\/p>

Within the GMS division, Gonvarri Asturias and \u00c7epa\u015f holds EN ISO 3834-2:2021 certification (comprehensive welding quality with control of materials, equipment, competencies and traceability) and EN 10219- 1:2006 certification (conformity assessment and structural performance of cold-formed hollow sections), reducing defects, rework and waste, improving efficiency in the use of resources, promoting safer and more controlled working environments, and reinforcing auditable and traceable technical governance, with direct benefits in terms of durability and the reduction of indirect environmental impacts (materials, transport and end-of-life).<\/p>

Within the GMH division, the Dexion GmbH plant in Laubach (Germany) has an energy management system certified to ISO 50001:2018. This certification directly reinforces sustainability by structuring the identification of significant energy consumption and its control through indicators, operational controls and internal audits, thereby reducing deviations, inefficiencies and unnecessary consumption. In doing so, it drives the continuous improvement of energy performance, contributes to the reduction of associated emissions and consolidates traceable, data-driven management, aligned with the Group\u2019s ESG strategy on decarbonisation, climate change mitigation and the efficient use of resources.<\/p>

Meanwhile, within the Asia division, the Chinese subsidiary VAMA Gonvarri Advance Automotive Steel Solutions (Changshu) Co., Ltd. has obtained carbon neutrality certification in accordance with certificate CBC PJ\/GHG 20250408001, following the quantification and verification of emissions in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 and the achievement of neutrality in accordance with PAS 2060 through the full offsetting of emissions using VCS credits from a wind power project.<\/p>

In addition to the management approach, the Carbon Neutral Plan 2030\u20132050 stands out, with the aim of transforming Gonvarri Industries into a climate-neutral company by 2050. To this end, the Plan sets a 2030 target aimed at reducing the company\u2019s direct and indirect emissions, with a view to contributing to the Paris Agreement\u2019s ambition of limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels. In relation to the Carbon Neutral Plan, the sections on energy consumption, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions provide further detail on the measurement, monitoring, implementation and governance of the plan.<\/p>

With regard to potential environmental risks and to cover their occurrence, we have made financial provisions and have guarantees in place to cover the occurrence of these risks under the insurance policies we have taken out, with cover of up to \u20ac20 million:<\/p>
