Audit Report of Consolidated Annual Accounts
Puig Brands, S.A. and subsidiaries



| Description The Group recognizes revenue from the sales made, net of tax, refunds, discounts and allowances accrued. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when control over the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer and can be reliably measured, which occurs, in general terms, when the goods are delivered. Within the Group's commercial activity, it is usual to establish commercial collaboration agreements with customers. |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| We have considered this area a key audit matter due to the fact that revenue recognition requires applying judgment, among other aspects, to assess when control over promised goods is transferred to the customer and determine the adjustments to be made to sales in relation to the contractual terms and conditions derived from the commercial collaboration agreements signed with the customers, and also due to the materiality of the amounts involved. |
||||||
| The information on the measurement accounting policies applied and the corresponding disclosures are presented in Notes 4.12 and 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
||||||
| Our | response Our audit procedures for this area consisted, among others, in: | |||||
| Understanding the revenue recognition process established by Group Management, evaluating the design and implementation of the relevant controls established in said process. |
||||||
| Analyzing, through the use of mass data processing techniques, the correlation between revenue and accounts receivable and cash. |
||||||
| Performing analytical procedures consisting in a review of the evolution of gross sales and retunds, discounts and rebates, as well as actual margins. |
||||||
| Assessing, for a sample of significant commercial agreements, the reasonableness of the assumptions used by Group Management to estimate refunds, discounts and rebates, considering the contractual terms and conditions agreed upon with customers. |
||||||
| Performing operations cut-off procedures for a sample of revenue transactions carried out at dates close to year end to verify that they were correctly recognized based on the terms and conditions set out in contracts with customers. |
||||||
| Analyzing the credit notes issued after the reporting date. | ||||||
| Performing procedures for analyzing the journal for the purpose of identifying the possible existence of manual or unusual entries with an impact on revenue that may have not been recognized through key IT systems supporting the revenue recognition process. |

| Description As indicated in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in January 2024 Puig acquired 65% of Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics GmbH Group through the company Puig International S.A. This transaction was considered a business combination. |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group Management has recorded the business combination using the purchase method, which consists of accounting for the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value at the date of acquisition. |
|||||
| We have considered this area a key audit matter since determining the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination, and the cost thereof, requires Group Management to make complex estimates, which entails the use of significant judgment in order to determine the assumptions supporting said estimates, as well as the materiality of the amounts involved. |
|||||
| The information on the measurement accounting policies applied and the corresponding disclosures are presented in Notes 4.1 and 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
|||||
| Our | |||||
| response Our audit procedures for this area consisted, among others, in: | |||||
| > Understanding the process followed by Group Management for the recognition and measurement of business combinations. |
|||||
| · Reviewing the purchase and sale agreements in order to understand the transaction and key clauses, as well as the documentation supporting the amount paid. |
|||||
| Reviewing, involving our valuation specialists, the methodology used by Group Management to determine the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination, verifying their consistency with the regulatory framework for financial information, covering, in particular, their mathematical consistency, and assessing the reasonableness of the financial assumntions considered |

Until December 31, 2022, the ultimate parent company of the Group for accounting purposes was Puig S.L., whose consolidated annual accounts for the year ended December 31, 2022 were audited at that level by Ernst & Young, S.L. On June 30, 2022, Puig, S.L. contributed its businesses to Puig Brands, S.A.

Puig is a global player in the premium beauty industry, home of iconic brands in the Fragrance and Fashion, makeup and skincare business categories.

At Puig we honor the values and principles put in place by three generations of family leadership. Today we continue to build on that legacy, through conscious commitments in our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agenda, aligned with the Union Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Puig operates across three segments: Fragrance and Fashion, Makeup and Skincare through owned and licensed brands. Puig is based on a unique system of brands, led by unique personalities, with whom it establishes lasting and productive relationships, through shared values and the same brand building vision.

The Company's ambition and determination have underpinned its international expansion since 1962, when it founded its first subsidiary outside Spain, and have helped it extend its activity across all continents.

2.1. Basis of presentation
The consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter, IFRS), adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS).
The consolidated annual accounts are presented, unless expressly mentioned, in thousands of euros.
These consolidated annual accounts have been prepared under the going concern principle, in the absence of doubts about the Company's ability to continue its operations.
2.2. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated annual accounts corresponding to the financial year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control and, therefore, the power to govern their financial and operating policies. The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included in the consolidated annual accounts from the effective acquisition date.
Control is defined over three elements that must be complied with: having power on the relevant activity of the subsidiary, exposure, or the right to variable returns from its investment, and the ability to use such power to influence on those returns.
The share of non-controlling interests of the equity and income of the subsidiaries is under "Non-controlling interests" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and "Profit attributable to non-controlling interests" in the Consolidated Income Statement.
All the intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated, including unrealized profits arising from intragroup transactions.
Each of the companies included in the scope of consolidation prepares its annual accounts and other accounting records in accordance with the corresponding reporting standards, based on the legislation in force in the country of origin. Where these recognition and measurement criteria differ from those adopted by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements, they are adjusted to present the consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies.
The financial statements of companies with a functional currency other than the euro have been translated as follows:
• Assets and liabilities are translated into euros at the exchange rates prevailing at year-end.

- Items composing the equity of these companies are translated to euros at the historical exchange rates used in the preparation of their historical consolidated annual accounts.
- Income and expenses are translated into euros using the average exchange rate for the year.
The differences arising from the application of these exchange rates are included in consolidated equity under "Translation differences".
Associates, in which Puig does not have control but has significant influence, have been accounted for using the equity method. For consolidation accounting purposes, it has been estimated that Puig has significant influence when holding more than 20% of companies' share capital and/or it can be verified that such significant influence exists.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred and cease to be consolidated when such control disappears. In the event of a loss of control over a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of said subsidiary for the portion of the reporting year in which Puig still held the control.
Almost all the entities included in the scope of consolidation have December 31st financial year ends. The financial statements of the entities whose yearly closing does not coincide with that of the Company have been duly adapted. The accounting principles used by subsidiaries and associates have been adapted in the consolidation process to make them coincide with those applied by the Company.
All the companies included in the scope of consolidation have been consolidated using the full consolidation method, except for the groups Ponteland Distribuçao, S.A. (Granado), Sociedad Textil Lonia, S.A., Isdin, S.A. and Beijing Yitian Shidai Trading, Co, LLC, which have been consolidated using the equity method.

2.3. Changes in accounting policies and in information breakdowns
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts are the same as those applied in the consolidated annual accounts of 2023 of Puig Brands, S.A. and its subsidiaries, except for the following standards, interpretations and amendments that have been applied for the first time this exercise.
• Standards and interpretations approved by the European Union applied for the first time in 2024.
Puig has not experienced significant impacts on these consolidated annual accounts due to new standards and interpretations.
In May 2023, the IASB issued Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7). Puig has made the required disclosures in the full year 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements (see note 31.4) in accordance with the amendment.
• Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet applicable in 2024
Puig intends to adopt the standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards issued by the IASB that are not mandatorily applicable in the European Union when they become effective if they are applicable. Although Puig is currently analysing their impact, based on the analyses conducted to date, it estimates that their initial application will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
2.4. Scope of consolidation
The main changes that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, relate the acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm as indicated in note 5.
For fiscal year 2023, there were no significant changes compared to fiscal year 2022.

3. Main events of the period
Business combination Dr.Barbara Sturm
In January 2024, Puig acquired 65% of Dr.Barbara Sturm. With this acquisition, Puig reinforces its presence in the skincare business. Dr.Barbara Sturm was founded in 2014 with the objective to deliver science-based and effective skincare treatments. Dr.Barbara Sturm is a luxury, science-focused skincare brand with seven owned spas and boutiques offering high-performance treatments (note 5).
2024 incentive plan and offering extraordinary award
Between January and March 2024 an extraordinary long-term incentive free shares plan was executed for the Chairman and CEO, our Senior Officers and other key employees. As a result, a total of 1.498.216 Class B shares have been delivered to the employees, with a total cost amounting to 36 million euros.
On March 19, 2024, Board of Directors approved the Offering Extraordinary Award for all employees (including Chairman and CEO, Senior Officers and other key employees) amounting to 79.9 million euros (including social security costs). In addition to the Offering Extraordinary Award, the Board of Directors approved an extraordinary plan incentive payment for the Chairman and CEO, some Senior Officers, and other key employees, in recognition of their respective contributions to the Company in the context of the Offering, which has been paid in May and June 2024. The Chairman and CEO received a total amount of 9.3 million euros (including the amount of the Offering Extraordinary Award attributable to him); the Senior Officers received a total amount of 4.5 million euros (including the amount of the Offering Extraordinary Award attributable to them); and certain key employees that are not Senior Officers received a total amount of 3.1 million euros (excluding the Offering Extraordinary Award attributable to them).
New revolving credit facilities
Between February and April 2024, Puig Brands signed revolving credit facilities totalling 680 million euros to finance the acquisition of minority interests in Byredo and Prado Investments.

Liabilities from Business Combinations
Prado Investments Limited
On March 1, 2024, Puig agreed to acquire preference shares from BDT Champion Holdings, L.P. corresponding to 26.3% of the total number of shares (and voting rights) in Prado Investments Limited, for a total consideration consisting of 366.0 million euros in cash on March 1, 2024 and 243.6 million euros settled through the issuance of Puig Brands new Class B Shares carried out on May 2, 2024.
After acquiring this additional stake, Puig has obtained 100% number of shares and voting rights in Prado Investments Limited (which holds 73.1% of the share capital of Charlotte Tilbury Limited).
Byredo AB
On March 1, 2024, Puig acquired 20% of Byredo AB from Manzanita for a total consideration of 214.6 million euros in cash paid on March 1, 2024. As part of this transaction, Manzanita committed to invest 161 million euros in the subscription at the Offering Price of new Puig Brands Class B Shares carried out on May 2, 2024.
Additionally, on March 1, 2024, Puig agreed to acquire 3% of Byredo AB from Arctic Sun, a company owned by brand founder Ben Gorham, for a total consideration consisting of 16.1 million euros in cash on March 1, 2024 and 16.1 million euros settled through the issuance of new Puig Brands Class B Shares carried out on May 2, 2024.
After acquiring this additional stake, Puig has obtained 100% number of shares and voting rights in Byredo AB.
As summary the Share capital increases subscribed by minority interests of Prado Investments Limited and Byredo AB (the Minority Shareholders) in an aggregate amount of 420,582 thousand euros by virtue of which a total of 17,166,618 new Class B Shares fully paid up were issued and fully subscribed by the Minority Shareholders (note 23).
Initial public offering of Class B shares of Puig Brands, S.A.
On May 3, 2024, class B shares of Puig Brands, S.A. were admitted to trading on the Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, and Valencia Stock Exchanges through the Stock Exchange Interconnection System (Continuous Market). The price per share was set at 24.50 euros, and the capital and net share premium increase amounted to 1,671 million euros. All details and equity considerations of the IPO are detailed in note 23.

Management incentive plans (SARs) after Puig Brands initial public offering admission
According to the provisions of the Incentive Plans (Share appreciation rights o SARs) 2015-2018, 2021-2023 and 2024, after Puig Brands Admission into the stock Spanish exchange:
- all the put options granted by Puig to the beneficiaries have been cancelled. Accordingly, the Admission has resulted in the entire cancellation of the 238.9 million euros liability recorded at December 31, 2023 related to plans 2015-2018 and 2021-2023 resulting in a positive impact in Other Reserves by this amount in 2024 (note 23).
- a limited number of call options granted to some of the beneficiaries have been cancelled. The call options after Admission remain effective and may be exercised by Puig over the Class B Shares that are subject to a lock-up restriction and during the period that such lock-up restriction applies.
Charlotte Tilbury
On July 25, 2024, Puig acquired an additional stake 5.4% in Charlotte Tilbury Limited amounting to 214,816 million euros (180,456 million GBPs). With this additional stake in Charlotte Tilbury, Puig directly controls 78.5% of the subsidiary.
On December 17, 2024, Puig announced the extension of its strategic collaboration with Charlotte Tilbury MBE. The original agreement signed in 2020, which was set to end in 2025, has been extended until the end of 2030. As a result, Charlotte Tilbury MBE will retain a minority stake in Charlotte Tilbury Limited until the end of 2030.
The agreement includes put and call options exercisable at different periods between 2026 and 2031, valued based on a market multiple linked to the key financial metrics of Charlotte Tilbury's business.
The extension of these put and call options, from 2026 to different periods between 2026 and 2031, has had a positive equity impact amounting to 197.5 million euros, mainly due to the extension of the liability (which is discounted at present value), the new multiples agreed and the projected financial metrics.

4. Accounting policies
The consolidated annual accounts have been prepared by the Directors of the Parent Company, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) as of December 31, 2024.
4.1. Business combinations - put-call options on minority interests
When a business is acquired, its assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value at their acquisition date, as provided on IFRS 3, Business Combinations. When performing the purchase price allocation for the business combination, Puig records the identified intangible assets like brands or customer relationships. Any excess in the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identified net assets is recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets, the difference is credited to profit or loss on the acquisition date.
At the business combination date, variable contingent consideration is estimated. Subsequently, differences are recorded in profit and loss.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders is stated at their proportion of the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized. After initial recognition, noncontrolling interests are adjusted by the profit / loss obtained.
On business combinations executed in stages, previous investments are valued at fair value with differences recorded in profit and loss.
In recent years, Puig has carried out business combinations in which it obtained the majority of voting (and economic) rights in entities like Charlotte Tilbury, Dr.Barbara Sturm or Byredo AB, among others, thereby gaining control over these businesses (note 5). In these transactions, specific purchase put-call options were agreed for the acquisition of the remaining stake.
When Puig acquires a business without obtaining all its voting shares, but agrees a put and call option to acquire the minority stake in the future, and if the terms and conditions of the contract permit it, Puig follows IFRS 10 as outlined below:
- a. It calculates the value at which the non-controlling interests (minorities) should have been recorded according to IFRS 10.
- b. Subsequently, at the year-end closing, minority interests are accounted for as if they were acquired on that date.

c. A financial liability is recognized for the current value of the amount payable as consideration for the exercise of the minority's put option, as an acquisition of minorities. The revaluation of the financial liability is reflected in consolidated equity.
In subsequent years to the acquisition, Puig recognizes the amount of profit attributable to minority interests in the consolidated income statement and subsequently reclassifies the minority interest as reserves.
4.2. Investments in associates and joint ventures
Puig's investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Associates, in which Puig does not have control but has significant influence, have been accounted for using the equity method. For consolidation accounting purposes, it has been estimated that Puig has significant influence when holding more than 20% of companies' share capital and/or it can be verified that such significant influence exists. Associates are defined in note 2 and Annex I.
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities Puig has joint control, established by contractual arrangement. According to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, these entities are accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.
The value of these investments on the consolidated balance sheet implicitly includes, where applicable, the goodwill arising on their acquisition.
Puig evaluates annually the impairment of the investments in associates and joint ventures.
4.3. Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of the standalone subsidiaries and associates are expressed in their functional currency. note 2.2 provides a detailed explanation of how Puig has translated local currency into euros.
The main functional currencies other than the euro are the US dollar (USD) and the pound sterling (GBP). A detail of all the companies in the scope of consolidation and their corresponding functional currencies is included in Annex I.

The financial statements of Puig companies whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy (Argentina) are adjusted for inflation in accordance with the procedure described in the following paragraph prior to their translation to euros. Once restated, all the items of the financial statements are converted to euros using the closing exchange rate. Amounts shown for prior years for comparative purposes are not modified. All impacts are accounted for within currency translation differences in equity.
To determine the existence of hyperinflation, Puig assesses the qualitative characteristics of the economic environment of the country, such as the trends in inflation rates over the previous three years. The financial statements of companies whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are adjusted to reflect the changes in purchasing power of the local currency, so that all items in the balance sheet not expressed in current terms (non-monetary items) are restated by applying a general price index at the financial statement closing date, and all income and expense, profit and loss are restated monthly by applying appropriate adjustment factors. The exchange rate applied at the end of the year was the following:
| Argentine peso | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Year-end exchange rate | 1,064 | 895 |
4.4. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at the lower of acquisition cost, net of its accumulated depreciation, and recoverable value.
| Tangible fixed assets category | Depreciation method | Useful life |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings | Straight-line | 33 years |
| Machinery and tools | Straight-line | 4 to 10 years |
| Office furniture and other equipment | Straight-line | 3 to 10 years |
Expenditure relating to repairs or maintenance is included in the consolidated income statement. The costs of improvements or enhancements which extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.
The net carrying value of property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the net carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks inherent to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense in the income statement.
4.5. Intangible assets other than goodwill
Brands acquired as a result of business combination are stated at their fair value at the acquisition date. Intangible assets are valued regularly to make sure that their net book value is not higher than their recoverable value, in which case a loss would be recorded.
The recoverable amount of intangible assets is the greater of net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks inherent to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense in the income statement.
Depreciation of intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
| Intangible assets | Depreciation method | Useful life |
|---|---|---|
| Brands | — | Indefinite |
| Software, ERP and other intangibles | Straight-line | 3 to 5 years |
Puig considers that its brands have an indefinite useful life since there is no foreseeable limit for the period over which the brands are expected to generate net cash inflows based on legal and competitive factors, since Puig's brands have a consolidated position in the market.
Where the recoverable amount of an asset is below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount will not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or the cash-generating unit) in prior years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

4.6. Goodwill
Goodwill is initially accounted for as the difference between the value of the contribution made for the acquisition of business and the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
Goodwill is no longer amortized on application of IFRS 3. Instead, goodwill is internally tested annually unless impairment indicators are detected. Impairment indicators are for example significant differences between the business performance versus business plans and macroeconomic factors.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of cash flows have not been adjusted.
The composition of the Group's Cash Generating Units (CGUs) and the methodology for the impairment tests are explained in note 16.
4.7. Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory comprises all costs related to purchase and conversion and design, logistic and transportation costs and the necessary costs directly attributable to bring the inventory to its present location and condition.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:
- Raw material: Purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis
- Finished goods and work in progress: Direct costs and a portion of indirect costs based on a normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs necessary to complete or perform the sale.
Obsolete and slow-moving products have been reduced to their estimated realizable value. This provision is based on product type, inventory turnover and expiry date.

4.8. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are stated at their amortized value applying the effective interest rate method and considering emission expenses.
Derecognition of interest yield loans and credits
Puig derecognizes a previously recognized loan from the balance sheet when the obligation under the liability is extinguished because payment to the creditor for cancelling the debt has been made (through payments in cash or other goods or services) or because the debtor is legally released from any responsibility for the liability.
A loan is derecognized as follows: the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or the part of it that has been derecognized) and the consideration paid, including any attributable transaction costs, which also has to include any new asset transferred other than cash or liability assumed, is recognized in the income statement in the year to which it relates.
Debt restructuring
In certain cases, Puig restructures its debt commitments to its creditors. For example: extending the maturity date of the principal in exchange for a higher interest rate, not paying and grouping interest in a single bullet payment of the principal and interest at the end of the life of the debt, etc.
There are several ways in which the terms on a debt may be changed:
- Immediate payment of the nominal amount (before maturity) followed by the refinancing of all or a portion of the nominal amount through a new debt ("exchange of debt").
- Modifying the terms of the debt agreement before maturity ("modification of debt").
In an exchange or modification of debt with the same creditor, Puig analyzes whether a substantial change in the terms on the original debt has occurred. If so, the accounting treatment is as follows
- the book value of the original financial liability (or of its corresponding portion) is derecognized from the balance sheet;
- the new financial liability is initially recognized at fair value;
- transaction costs are recognized in the income statement;

• the difference between the book value of the original financial liability (or the portion thereof that has been derecognized) and the fair value of the new liability is also recognized in the income statement.
On the contrary, if after the analysis, Puig concludes that both debts are not substantially different (they are essentially the same debt), the accounting treatment is as follows:
- the original financial liability is not derecognized (that is, it is kept on the balance sheet);
- the fees paid in the restructuring transaction are recorded as an adjustment to the debt's carrying amount;
- • the difference between the present value of cash flows excluding refinancing fees discounted at the effective interest rate prior to the refinancing and the previous amortized cost shall be presented as finance profit/(cost);
- a new effective interest rate is calculated as from the restructuring date. The amortized cost of a financial liability is determined by applying the effective interest rate, which equates the carrying amount of the financial liability on the modification date to the cash flows to be paid as per the new terms.
The contractual terms are considered to be substantially different, among others, when the present value of the cash flows from the new contract, including any commission paid, net of any commission received, differs by at least 10% of the present value of the cash flows yet to be paid on the original contract, when the effective interest rate of the original contract has been applied to both amounts.
Certain modifications to the determination of cash flows may not pass this quantitative analysis, but may also give rise to a substantial modification of the liability, such as: change from a fixed to a floating interest rate on the payment on the liability, restatement of the liability in a different currency, conversion of a loan at a fixed interest rate into a participation loan, among others.

4.9. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when:
- Puig has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of a past event;
- It is probable that an economic outflow will be required to settle the obligation; and,
- A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions for restructuring costs are recognized when Puig has a formal plan for restructuring that has been notified to the affected parties.
If the effect of the cash temporary value is significant, the amount of the provision is discounted. Any increase in the provision value derived from the passing of time is recorded as "Financial expenses" in the consolidated income statement.
There are no risks giving rise to future significant contingencies that affect Puig and have not been considered in these financial statements.
Additionally, contingent liabilities are possible obligations arising as a consequence of past events, which may or may not occur depending on one or more future events beyond the Group's control. Unlike provisions, contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet but disclosed in the notes thereto unless they are not considered remote.
4.10. Post-employment benefits and shared-based payments
Post-employment pension plans
Puig has entered into post-employment pension plans with some of its employees.
Under defined contribution retirement plans, Puig pays fixed contributions on a current basis into a separate (third party) recognized pension fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions. Such fixed contributions are recognized in the income statement on the due date.
Under defined benefit retirement plans, Puig is obliged to pay certain benefits upon retirement. The liabilities of Puig concerning defined benefit retirement plans, and the related service cost, are determined using the projected unit credit method. The following concepts are recognized in the income statement for the year: the service costs for the current year, costs due to interest, expected yield of any plan asset, cost of previous services, and the effect of any type of curtailments and settlements of the plan. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognized outside the income statement and presented in the statement of changes in equity according to IAS 19. The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation, net of related assets.

Share appreciation plan
Puig has several "share appreciation rights" (SARs) for executives and employees. The related employee benefits expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability at the vesting date and it is recognized based on the best estimate made by Management. This expense is recognized over the stipulated period during which the services are rendered and adjusted based on actual employee rotation.
Most of the SARs plans grant the beneficiaries the right to choose whether the share-based payment transaction is settled in cash or by delivering equity instruments, and consequently, it meets the definition of a compound financial instrument, which includes a debt component and an equity component. In order to measure each component, the Company has concluded that there is always a cash event enforceable for the Company in relation to all shares granted, and consequently, the accounting for these plans has been treated as a cash settlement, being the equity component measured at nil.
In the case that the shares are finally acquired by the employees, crossed put and call options are put in place. For some plans, in the case of a public offering, the put and call options would no longer have any effect, except when lock up periods apply, in which case Puig retains a call option.
Some specific plans have been defined as cash-settled plans, as they are always settled in cash.
4.11. Leases
Puig leases are in line with market terms and conditions. The main types of lease agreements, as well as their main characteristics are described below:
- Offices and warehouses: contract terms include an average lease length between 10 and 15 years and fixed rent updated based on inflation rates. In some of these contracts Puig has unilateral option to extend from 5 to 10 years.
- Stores: contract terms include an average lease length between 3 and 12 years. Rent payments always include a fixed component and some of them also include a variable component linked to the sales of the respective store which is added to the fixed component.
- Cars: contract terms include an average lease length between 3 and 4 years and fixed rent updated based on inflation rates.
Variable lease payments, which do not depend on an index or rate, are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset, and are recorded as an operating expense as they are incurred.
At the commencement date of the lease, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability shall be recorded.

Initial valuation of the asset by right of use
At the commencement date of the lease, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which shall comprise:
- The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability.
- Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.
- Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
- An estimate of costs to be incurred by the company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
- In the cases in which there are variable amounts, the minimum lease payment shall be considered in the price.
Initial measurement of the lease liability
At the commencement date, the lease liability shall be measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, Puig's incremental borrowing rate shall be used. The lease payments included in the initial measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments:
- Fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable.
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date of the lease.
- Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
- The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
- Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Puig has included in the measurement of the lease liability the future cash flows for the periods it estimates that it will keep the contracts. For some of the lease contracts, the Group has extension options for additional periods, which can be freely exercised by the Group only.
These extension options have been considered in the value of the lease liability when Puig has reasonable certainty to exercise these options, due to significant investments performed, and the complexity to find similar leases in the market.

Subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset shall be measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Subsequent measurement of the lease liability
The lease liability shall be measured by: (i) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (ii) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (iii) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
The lease payments associated with short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value are recognized in the consolidated income statement as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A shortterm lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less.
Modifications to lease payments linked to an index, such as the consumer price index, are treated as modifications to lease liabilities at the date the index is revised and based on remaining cash flows.
The balancing entry of a modification to the lease liability is an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

4.12. Revenue
Revenue is recognized at the carrying amount of the consideration received. Sales agreements contain one single performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time.
There are no contracts with customers with significant financing components.
Gross sales
Income from the sale of finished goods is recognized when control over the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be reliably measured, which is, in general terms, when the goods are delivered.
The Group's revenue comes from the following business segments: Fragrance and Fashion, Makeup, Skincare.
Sales rebates and returns
Sales rebates include all the discounts given to end customers, volume-based incentives, etc.
Sales rebates and refunds are part of the sale transaction and deducted from the consideration in revenue recognition.
Puig receives promotional support services from certain customers, such as placing products in display stands and publishing offers, among others. These services are not under Puig's control neither fulfill any obligation and thus considered as a rebate. These amounts are deducted from the consideration for revenue recognition purposes if net revenue recognition criteria is met under IFRS 15.
Royalty income
Royalty income is related to licenses that Puig's brands (Nina Ricci, Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier and Carolina Herrera) give to third parties to commercialize certain products such as eyewear and fashion and accessories. Royalty income is accounted for on an accrual basis, based on the percentage established for each of the licenses over the sales carried out by the third parties.

4.13. Income tax
The Parent Company and all of its Spanish subsidiaries pay corporate income tax under a consolidated tax regime, with the top entity responsible before the tax authorities being Puig, S.L. The income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except when it refers to items recorded directly under equity.
Deferred income tax is recorded applying the liability method, on all temporary differences existing at the balance sheet date between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from an acquired goodwill, whose amortization is not tax deductible, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss. Likewise, deferred tax liabilities are also recognized for all taxable temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries or associates, except when the following two conditions are jointly met: the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled by the Parent Company and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized except, when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

4.14. Financial instruments
Puig determines the most appropriate classification for each financial instrument based on its business model and the characteristics of contractual cash flows and reviews it only in the event of a change in the business model for managing said assets. Current and non-current financial instruments are classified into the following categories:
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified, or impaired. Puig's financial assets at amortized cost includes trade receivables, deposits, loans and other current assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss. This category includes derivative instruments to cover loans in foreign currencies and some non-listed equity investments (note 18).
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Upon initial recognition, Puig can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss the right of payment has been established. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. The Group elected to classify irrevocably its listed and some other non-listed equity investments under this category (financial investments – note 18).
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans, trade payables, other current liabilities and lease liabilities.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes earn-outs and share based payments designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Puig determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with the following hierarchy:
- Level 1: Observable prices for identical finance assets/liabilities in active markets.
- Level 2: Other measurement techniques in which the parameters with a significant impact on the determination of fair value are obtained directly or indirectly from the market.
- Level 3: Other measurement techniques in which the parameters with a significant impact on the determination of fair value are not obtained from the market. Fair value is mainly determined based on future economic projections for the underlying asset (or business).
4.15. Derivative financial instruments
Derivative instruments are initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at their cost of acquisition and are subsequently adjusted in order to always be recorded at their fair value. These adjustments are recorded as assets in case they are positive or as liabilities if they are negative.
For accounting purposes, and once the financial instrument has been designated as being a hedging instrument, the following classifications have been used:
- a. Fair value hedges: when hedging against the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability. Any gain or loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement, netting its effect in the same caption of the income statement.
- b. Cash flow hedges: changes in fair value of hedging instruments are recorded for their effective proportion in the "Unrealized gains (losses) reserve" (Shareholders' equity). The portion of the gain or loss of the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in equity and the ineffective portion is recognized in net profit or loss.
The fair value of the different derivative financial instruments is calculated applying the following methods:
- a. At year-end exchange rate.
- b. Applying the discount of expected cash flows with regard to the market conditions, both for cash and futures at year end closing.

4.16. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS-EU requires Puig to make estimates and judgments (including fair value) that affect the application of accounting policies and the balances of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.
These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and various other factors that are considered reasonable under the circumstances, and their results form the basis for determining opinions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources.
The macroeconomic assumptions used in the estimates are based on figures provided by reputable entities and are tailored to Puig's specifications, including inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, etc. Puig incorporates these macroeconomic assumptions into its business planning and strategy.
The business plans prepared by management are used in the estimates made by Puig for the preparation of the annual accounts (e.g., impairment testing, recognition of deferred taxes or valuation of liabilities, etc.). However, actual results may differ from the estimates made in the business plans, both in the forecasts of business developments and in the assumptions applied for the calculations.
Puig's main estimates are as follows:
- The useful life and fair value of property, plant and equipment, and intangibles assets (note 15 and 16).
- The assumptions used in the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) (note 5) carried out in each business combination. In all cases, the PPA is prepared by external advisors.
- The assumptions used in determining the fair value/value in use of various Cash Generating Units (CGUs) or groups of them to assess the potential impairment of goodwill or other assets (note 16 and 18).
- Estimation of expected credit losses on accounts receivable and inventory obsolescence (notes 4.8, 19, and 20).
- Estimation of deductions from net sales (returns and rebates) (notes 8 and 28).
- The fair value of financial instruments and certain unquoted financial assets (notes 19 and 25).
- Assumptions used in determining the fair values of liabilities related to business combinations (notes 4.1 and 26). Contingent consideration liabilities fall under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13.

- Provisions: An estimate is made of amounts to be settled in the future, including those related to contractual obligations, pending litigation, and other future costs. These estimates are subject to interpretations of current facts and circumstances, projections of future events, and estimates of the financial effects of these events.
- Evaluation of the recoverability of tax credits, including carryforward tax losses and deduction rights. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that future tax benefits are available against which temporary differences can be offset, based on management's assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future tax benefits.

5. Business combinations
Dr.Barbara Sturm
In January 2024, Puig acquired 65% (economic and votings rights) of Dr.Barbara Sturm (Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics GmbH). With this acquisition, Puig reinforces its presence in the premium skincare business. Dr.Barbara Sturm was founded in 2014 with the objective to deliver science-based and effective skincare treatments. Dr.Barbara Sturm is a luxury, science-focused skincare brand with seven owned spas and boutiques offering high-performance treatments.
Transaction costs amounting to 5.7 million euros have been recorded in the 2024 income statement (note 10).
The respective carrying amounts and fair values of Dr.Barbara Sturm's identified assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:
| (Thousand euros) | Net carrying amount | Fair value |
|---|---|---|
| Long term assets | 10,464 | 192,315 |
| Current assets | 19,148 | 21,098 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 10,535 | 10,535 |
| Non-current liabilities | (18,667) | (76,068) |
| Current liabilities | (24,854) | (24,854) |
| Total net assets | (3,374) | 123,026 |
| Cash paid | 275,823 | |
| Put & call option | 159,667 | |
| Variable contingent consideration (earn-out) | 965 | |
| Goodwill (note 16) | 313,429 |
Dr.Barbara Sturm's assets and liabilities are denominated in euros.
The most important differences between the net carrying amount and their corresponding fair values correspond to the brand and customer relationships, with net fair values of 168 million euros and 14 million euros respectively. Additionally, there are deferred tax liabilities associated with the fair value of the intangible assets that arose in the purchase price allocation process, amounting to 57 million euros.

The respective fair values of Dr.Barbara Sturm's brand and customer relationships have been determined through valuations conducted by an independent expert using the royalty savings method and the MEEM (Multiperiod Excess Earning Method) methodology. The key assumptions for the estimation of fair values at the acquisition date refer to net revenue growth and royalty rate aligned with the expected market evolution and considering the specifications of the brand. Additionally, a post-tax discount rate of 9.3% and a long-term growth rate of 3% are considered. The assumptions used in terms of business evolution are based on strategic plans approved by Puig.
Puig has recognized a goodwill in connection with the synergies that Puig obtains from Dr.Barbara Sturm improving other Puig cash-generating units (note 16).
As part of the acquisition, Puig has agreed to put and call options for the acquisition of the remaining 35% of Dr.Barbara Sturm's shares not currently owned (note 27). The valuation of these options is based on a net revenue multiple, adjusted according to market multiples. A minimum price, equivalent to the cash payment when control is taken, is guaranteed.
Additionally, an earn-out payable has been agreed as part of the acquisition. The valuation of the earn-out is based on a net revenue multiple, adjusted considering net revenue targets (note 27).
These liabilities have been discounted at a 9.3% at the time of the business combination.
At the acquisition date, the amount of the put call options amounted to 160 million euros, which have been initially recognized as non-controlling interest, and subsequently reclassified as a liability at the reporting date (note 3.1).
The results of Dr.Barbara Sturm's operations have been included in the 2024 financial statements from the acquisition date, January 1st. The amount of net revenue from the acquisition date until December 31, 2024, amounted to 54 million euros.

6. Segment reporting
The information presented below regarding segments has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 8, identifying the corresponding operating segments based on the type of products offered in each of them.
Puig's business activities are organized into three segments: Fragrance and Fashion, Makeup, and Skincare.
The segment reporting is presented with this breakdown as it is used by the senior management and board of directors of Puig to monitor the business. For the purposes of IFRS 8, the board of directors should be understood as the highest authority for operational decision-making at Puig.
Fragrance and Fashion: The Fragrance and Fashion business segment focuses on the creation, marketing and sale of fragrances, and to a much lesser extent, clothing, accessories, and other fashion-related items. Although fashion is a small portion of our revenues, it has been a key enabler of the fragrance industry, especially in the premium segment, where a major part of the top premium fragrance brands are inspired by a fashion brand. Puig recognizes the value of the deep connection that consumers build with fashion brands and how that translates to fragrances.
Under this business category, Puig designs, develops and markets fragrances in various forms, including eau de parfum sprays and colognes, as well as lotions, powders, creams, candles, and soaps, that are based on a particular fragrance. In addition, Puig designs, produces, and markets clothing, footwear, and accessories.
The Puig portfolio of brands operating in the Fragrance and Fashion business category includes Carolina Herrera, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Rabanne, Byredo, Christian Louboutin, Dries Van Noten, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Penhaligon's, Adolfo Domínguez and Banderas among others.
Makeup: The Makeup business segment focuses on the creation, marketing, and sale of a comprehensive range of high-quality cosmetic products including, among others, foundations, concealers, lipsticks, lip glosses, eyeliners, blushes, mascaras and eyeshadows.
The Puig portfolio of brands operating in the Makeup business segment includes Carolina Herrera, Charlotte Tilbury, Rabanne, Byredo, Christian Louboutin and Dries Van Noten.
Charlotte Tilbury and Christian Louboutin are the brands with the largest revenue contribution to our Makeup business segment. Charlotte Tilbury is the leader in this segment in terms of know-how and acts as the driver for the expansion of makeup products to brands that are already established in other segments.

Skincare: The Skincare business segment focuses on the creation, marketing, and sale of a variety of products to meet the needs of different skin types and concerns, such as cleansers, toners, moisturizers, serums, body care, exfoliators, acne, and oil correctors, facial masks, and sun care products.
The Puig portfolio of brands under this segment skews heavily towards Dermo-Cosmetics but also includes Prestige skincare. Puig's brands operating in the Skincare business segment include Uriage, Apivita, Dr.Barbara Sturm, Kama Ayurveda, Loto del Sur and Charlotte Tilbury.

Financial expenses from financial debts with credit institutions, including loans, interest rate swaps, fees, and others, primarily refer to the interest on loans granted and credit lines used during the current year.
The financial expense for the year 2024 has increased compared to 2023 mainly due to bank borrowing taken in May 2023 and revolving credit facilities taken in 2024 to finance the acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm and minority interests respectively (note 3).
Finance lease expenses exclusively concern to the financial impact of applying IFRS 16.

In 2023, Other finance expenses correspond to the variation of earn-outs in relation to the business combinations (note 27).

In 2023 the negative impact of exchange gains mainly corresponds with the depreciation of the Argentinian peso, the US Dollar and the GB pound.
As detailed in note 4.3, Puig applies adjustments in hyperinflationary economies.

14. Taxes
Puig Brands is subject to corporate income tax under the consolidated taxation regime in Spain, with Puig, S.L. being responsible for such tax consolidation. Annex II provides details of the companies that are part of the tax consolidation group led by Puig, S.L.
The remaining companies generally pay corporate income tax on an individual basis, except in some jurisdictions where taxation occurs under a tax consolidation regime (Annex II).
On June 2, 2020, inspection proceedings commenced in the Spanish tax consolidation group, for the corporate income tax for the periods 2015-2018 and the value added tax for the periods 2016 -2018. As a result of these inspection proceedings, in May and June 2022 Puig received assessments amounting to an aggregate of 9,131 thousand euros. These were paid in 2022. An economic and administrative claim was lodged against the assessments with which Puig disagreed and in November 2022 the defense allegations were submitted.
On December 31, 2024, Puig has ongoing tax inspections (started in 2023 and 2024) for companies within the group located in the United States, France, Germany and Canada. As of the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial statements, no significant tax contingencies are expected from the outcomes of these inspections.
Under tax regulations prevailing in countries where Puig companies are domiciled, tax returns may not be considered final until they have either been inspected by tax authorities or until the corresponding inspection period has expired. The years open to inspection in relation to the main taxes vary according to the tax legislation of each country in which the Group operates. Puig considers that, in the event of a tax inspection, no significant tax contingencies would arise in the consolidated financial statements.
Pillar 2 legislation has been approved in certain jurisdictions where Puig operates. This legislation is effective for Puig's annual periods starting from January 1, 2024. As of December 2024, the effective tax rates under Pillar 2 in the jurisdictions where Puig operates are above 15%. Therefore, it has not been necessary to account for a provision to cover the difference between the country's rate and 15%.

The breakdown of the Group's tax balances is as follows:
| (Thousand euros) | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||
| Deferred tax assets | 171,826 | 146,562 |
| Current tax refund assets (note 21) | 136,749 | 85,623 |
| Liabilities | ||
| Deferred tax liabilities | (619,128) | (553,741) |
| Current tax settlement liabilities (note 29) | (102,510) | (71,177) |
| Current income tax liabilities | (47,625) | (55,319) |
| (460,688) | (448,052) |
Short-term income tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet correspond to the provision for income tax for the year, net of with holdings and prepayments made during the year.
The deferred tax reflects the income tax amounts to be paid or recovered in future years and arises from the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities.
The reconciliation between the expense for tax on profits before tax and the tax rate applicable to Puig is as follows:
| (Thousand euros) | 2024 | 2023 |

Income tax includes expense from both current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the income tax amount payable related to tax on profit for the period and other tax charges derived from compliance with income tax regulations.
Additionally, most of the companies of the group have accumulated positive results in their net equity. If these reserves were distributed, they could be subject to taxation. These consolidated financial statements do not include the tax impact of the distribution when it is not probable to happen under the exemption of IAS 12.
On the other hand, the subsidiaries of the group do not include deferred tax liabilities in relation to future shareholders distributions because there is no expected dividend distribution at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, therefore there is no tax impact on the parent company.
The breakdown of income tax income / (expense) is as follows:
| (thousand euros) | 2024 | 2023 |

| Current income tax | (170,256) | (162,632) |

These brands are considered to have indefinite useful lives. There have not been any impairments with respect to these brands.
As a result of the business combinations described in note 5, in 2024, Puig has incorporated Dr.Barbara Sturm to its brand portfolio.
During 2024, there was a positive impact of 56 million euros in the carrying amounts of brands as a result of changes in the exchange rates between several functional currencies of the brands and the presentation currency (euro) (positive impact of 25 million euros in 2023).
Brand and goodwill impairment test
Puig, internally, tests annually for impairment the brands with indefinite useful lives and goodwill acquired in business combinations.
Cash Generating Units (CGUs) are the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows independently of cash flows produced by other assets or group of assets. Puig defines these CGUs by associating them with different brands or businesses. Brands may belong to different operating segments (note 6).
In 2024, Dr.Barbara Sturm business has been incorporated into the Niche and Wellness CGU.

The Niche and Wellness CGU is composed by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Penhaligon's, Dries Van Noten, Byredo, Kama Ayurveda, Loto del Sur and Dr.Barbara Sturm.
The breakdown of the main intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (brands and goodwill) by cash-generating unit, operating segment, discount rate (Weighted average cost of capital, hereinafter WACC) before tax and long-term growth rate for 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

In addition to the above mentioned CGUs, Puig also operates other CGUs, with the most relevant ones being Rabanne and Carolina Herrera, that do not have significant intangible assets.
Accumulated impairment of 25,000 thousand euros in Dries Van Noten refers to the goodwill impairment from covid period (before the integration into the Niche and Wellness CGU).

Regarding the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Byredo business (amounting to 711 million euros) and Dr.Barbara Sturm (313 million euros) business, Puig's strategy encompassed not only the generation of cash flows within the acquired Byredo business, but also generating synergies across other CGUs distinct from Niche and Wellness. Consequently, since the allocation of the generated goodwill, for the purpose of measuring its potential impairment, could not be assigned to a specific CGU (Niche and Wellness) unless in an arbitrary manner. The assessment of the recoverability of such goodwill is conducted at the level of the group of CGUs for which it will generate cash flows (Niche, Carolina Herrera, Rabanne and Jean Paul Gaultier).
As of December 31, 2024, the gross and net values of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (brands and goodwill) of the mentioned CGUs were 2,294 million euros and 2,269 million euros (2023: 1,809 million euros and 1,794 million euros), the discounted pre-tax rate was 12% (2023: 12%), the post-tax rate was 10% (2023: 10%) and the long-term growth rate was 3% (2023: 3%).
Methodology of impairment test
The procedures for carrying out the impairment test, performed by the Company at least once a year, are as follows:
- The recoverable amount associated with different CGUs has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on the business plans prepared by Puig for the next five years. The cash flows used for the impairment test include income tax payments.
- Puig uses the budgets and business plans of each CGU, which are prepared for a period of four or five years (approved by the Board of Directors/management), plus additional years based on the strategy of the Group and previous experience.
- The key assumptions used to prepare budgets and business plans are estimated growth in sales, evolution of operating expenses and gross margin of each cash-generating unit, based on experience and knowledge of each brand's performance, as well as macroeconomic indicators that reflect the current and foreseeable economic situation of each market.
- Sales growth assumptions are based on past performance, the growth potential of the industry itself, and Puig's ability to gain market share. Neither the Ukraine-Russia war, the Palestine-Israel conflict, nor climate change have a significant impact in the current and future strategic plans, due to sales in the impacted countries being not significant for Puig.
- A valuation analysis is carried out internally by Puig, which consists of applying the discounted free cash flow method, carrying out all the procedures necessary to determine the recoverable value of the assets in each CGU.

- The discount rates applied to future cash flow projections have been calculated specifically for each cash-generating unit, considering in some cases a specific risk premium in accordance with the specific characteristics of each CGU and the inherent risk profile in the projected cash flows of each cash-generating unit.
- Cash flows used for terminal value are extrapolated using a prudential growth rate compared to the expected long-term growth for the businesses involved.
- Carrying amounts of the CGUs include Brands and goodwill, other intangible assets, property plan and equipment allocated, right of use and other net assets assigned to the CGUs (including inventory and working capital amounts). Deferred tax liabilities are not included in the carrying amount of the CGUs.

Puig conducts a sensitivity analysis of the impairment calculation by applying reasonable variations to the key assumptions considered in the calculation. The following variations have been applied for CGUs and groups of CGUs:
- A variation of +1.5% in the discount rate would entail an adjustment to the net carrying amounts of the intangible assets recorded in 2024 amounting to 9,520 thousand euros (7,882 thousand euros in 2023).
- A variation of -1% in the long-term growth rate would entail an adjustment to the net carrying amounts of the intangible assets recorded in 2024 amounting to 978 thousand euros (3,522 thousand euros in 2023).
- A variation of -2% in the revenue growth compound annual growth rates (CAGR) would entail an adjustment to the net carrying amounts of the intangible assets recorded in 2024 amounting to 15,430 thousand euros (2,186 thousand euros in 2023).

Impairment test on investments in associates and joint ventures
The methodology for testing impairment of interests in associated companies and joint ventures does not differ significantly from that applied to intangible assets (note 16).
At year end Puig analyzes the recoverable amounts of investments in associates and joint ventures. The recoverable amount has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on the business plans prepared by Puig for the next five years.
The long-term growth rate used for the projections above 5 years has been estimated between 2.5% and 5%.

The discount rate (WACC) before and after taxes and the long-term growth rate for the years 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investment in associated | WACC pre tax |
WACC post-tax |
Long-term growth rate |
WACC pre tax |
WACC post-tax |

17% | 16% | 5% | 17% | 15% | 5% |
Sensitivity analysis on key estimates
Puig conducts a sensitivity analysis of the impairment calculation by applying reasonable variations to the key assumptions considered in the calculation. The following variations have been assumed:
- A variation of +/-1.50% in the discount rate in the main investments would entail a negative change in the net carrying amount recorded of 347 thousand euros (2023: 1,493 thousand euros) and a positive impact of 2,811 thousand euros (2023: 2,095 thousand euros), respectively.
- A variation of +/- 1.00% in the long-term growth rate in the main investments would entail a positive change in the net carrying amount recorded of 881 thousand euros (2023: 1,003 thousand euros) and a negative impact of 730 thousands of euros (2023: 778 negative thousand euros ), respectively.
- A variation of +/- 2.00% in the revenue growth compound annual growth rates (CAGR) would entail a positive change in the net carrying amount recorded of 1,608 thousand euros (2023: 4,872 thousand euros) and a negative impact of 877 thousand euros (2023: negative impact of 3,227 thousand euros), respectively.

Liabilities from business combinations
When Puig Brands acquires a company, it often prefers that the previous shareholders remain in the company with a minority stake. In this way, the seller / founder remains engaged and committed to the continued success of the brand.
At the time of the acquisition, the Company may enter into call and put option agreements granting the right or obligation to purchase the minority stake from the seller/founder on certain specified dates and at prices calculated based on an initially agreed adjusted multiple linked to the business performance of the related business. This is the case with the recent acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm, as well as prior years' acquisitions such as Byredo, Charlotte Tilbury, Loto del Sur, Kama Ayurveda and Dries Van Noten.
These options have been recorded as liabilities in accordance with IFRS 10, and valued at fair value at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recorded against equity.
At the time that the options are exercised, the Company will be required to make payments to the sellers / brand founders in the amounts due.
As part of the acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm, Puig agreed to put and call options for the acquisition of the remaining 35% of Dr.Barbara Sturm's shares not currently owned (note 5).
As detailed in note 3, in 2024 Puig agreed to acquire the minority interests in Prado Investments, Ltd and Byredo AB. The difference between the total considerations (856.8 million euros) and the liabilities from business combinations accounted for as long-term liabilities (1,038.4 million euros) amounted to 181,604 thousand euros and have had a positive impact in Puig Brands reserves.
In 2024, Puig extended the remaining put and call option agreement over Charlotte Tilbury, which was set to end in 2026, at different periods between 2026 and 2031. The new put and call option is valued based on a market multiple linked to the key financial metrics of Charlotte Tilbury's business. The extension of these put and call options, has had a positive equity impact of 197,469 thousand euros, mainly due to the extension of the liability (which is discounted at present value), the new multiples agreed, and the projected financial metrics.
In addition to the put and call options detailed in the previous paragraphs, as of December 31, 2024, Puig maintains the Kama Ayurveda and Loto del Sur put and call options from the 2022 business combinations. The reclassification in this caption, amounting to 14,611 thousand euros, relates to the put-call option of Kama Ayurveda exercisable in 2025 (note 29).
In addition to the call and put options mentioned above, in this caption Puig includes liabilities for earn-outs arising from certain business combinations. At December 31, 2024, the balance regarding these liabilities amounted to 106,799 thousand euros (185,901 thousand euros in 2023).

The change of valuation in these earn-outs in 2024 and 2023 were mainly driven by the change in management's projections with respect to the expected business performance to which these liabilities are linked, and the effect of the discount factor and the exchange rate. In addition, 2024 is also affected by the initial recognition of the business combinations completed in the period that amounted to 965 thousand euros ( Dr.Barbara Sturm - note 5).
The amounts recognized as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet have been discounted using the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") of each business (note 16).
These liabilities have been classified in the Level 3 measurement category. Puig conducts a sensitivity analysis of these liabilities by applying reasonable variations to the key assumptions considered in the calculation.
- A variation of +/- 2% in the CAGR of the main business indicator to which the liability valuation is linked would impact the liability recognized in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of 59 million euros or a decrease of 50 million euros (2023: increase of 164 million euros or decrease of 152 million euros).
- A variation of +/- 1.5% in the discount rate would impact the liability recognized in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, leading either a 50 million euros decrease or an increase of 55 million euros (2023: increase of 86 million euros or decrease of 53 million euros).
At December, 31, the maturity of these liabilities was as follows:
| (Thousand euros) | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Liability maturing more than 1 and less than 3 years | 342,002 | 1,125,074 |
| Liability maturing between 3 and 5 years | 203,491 | 325,296 |
| Liability maturing in more than 5 years | 527,445 | 727,295 |
| 1,072,938 | 2,177,665 |

Employee benefits and others
Some employees are granted with plans called "share appreciation rights" (SARs). The SARs are vested based on services and specific performance conditions.
As of December 31, 2024, the remaining SARS plans refer exclusively to 2021 Plan and 2024-2028 plan. Their characteristics are as follows:
2021 Plan
Puig granted some employees with a management incentive plan which vests over five years (2021-2025). Vesting conditions are based on time-based and business performance conditions.
The value of the plan is based on the appreciation of the shares of a Puig subsidiary, being the difference between the value of the shares granted at the beginning of the plan and the value of the shares expected at the end of the vesting period above a certain threshold. The valuation of the vested shares is calculated based on a formula linked to the business performance (level 3 fair value measurement).
At grant date, the beneficiaries choose between two types of settlement:
- Cash settlement.
- Acquisition of shares based on their nominal value. Once acquired, a call option is granted to Puig to re-acquire the shares between 2026 and 2029 at a price calculated based on the value creation above a certain threshold. In addition, a put option is granted once the shares are acquired enabling the beneficiaries to execute them between 2026 and 2029.
2024-2028 Plan
Puig granted some employees with a management incentive plan which vests over five years (2024-2028). Vesting conditions are based on time-based and business performance conditions.
The value of the plan is based on the appreciation of the shares of a Puig subsidiary, being the difference between the value of the shares granted at the beginning of the plan and the value of the shares expected at the end of the vesting period above a certain threshold. The valuation of the vested shares is calculated based on a formula linked to the business performance (level 3 fair value measurement).
At grant date, the beneficiaries choose between two types of settlement:
• Cash settlement.

• Acquisition of shares based on their nominal value. Once acquired, a call option is granted to Puig to re-acquire the shares from 2029 at a price calculated based on the value creation above a certain threshold. In addition, a put option is granted once the shares are acquired enabling the beneficiaries to execute them from 2029.
In 2023 the following SARS were fully vested, prior to the expected vesting dates of the plans which were end of 2023, 2024 and 2025 depending on the grant and the plan, because the objectives set were achieved in advance.
2015-2018 Plan
Between 2015 and 2018, Puig granted some employees of Puig with shares appreciation rights over Puig, S.L. and Puig Gest, S.A. shares (both companies are directly/indirectly shareholders of Puig, Brands, S.A.). Most of the shares were already vested at January 1, 2021, except for one grant which started vesting at that date. Initially the underlying shares of the SAR was based on shares of Puig Gest, S.A.
Most of the shares were already vested at January 1, 2021, except for one grant which started vesting at that date. Once the shares were vested, the beneficiaries had the option to acquire the shares or to request the settlement in cash. Initially the underlying shares of the SAR was based on shares of Puig Gest, S.A. The beneficiaries agreed in 2023 to exchange the underlying shares of the plan for Puig Brands, S.A. shares.
For the beneficiaries who elected to acquire the shares (at a fixed price), a call option was granted to re-acquire the shares between 2025 and 2040 at a value based on a formula linked to performance indicators at the date the call option will be executed. In addition, a put option was granted to be executed between 2024-2028 with the same valuation method. These agreements were signed with the companies that delivered the shares to the beneficiaries (note 23).
2021-2023 Plan
The 2021-2023 plan was composed of three different yearly grants with a vesting period of 3-5 years between 2021 and 2025. The shares were vested by the employee based on time-based vesting conditions and business performance conditions. Initially the underlying shares of the SARs were based on shares of Puig, S.L. and Puig Gest, S.A. The beneficiaries agreed in 2023 to exchange the underlying shares of the plan for Puig Brands, S.A. shares.
The valuation of the incentive plan is calculated based on the value of the share appreciation rights, which is calculated based on an independent valuation (level 3 fair value measurement). The valuation of the plan is the difference between the value of the shares at the grant date and the expected valuation of the shares at the end of the vesting period.
Once the shares are vested, the beneficiary has the option to receive a cash settlement, acquire the shares, or receive free shares net of tax.

If the beneficiaries elect to acquire the shares or receive free shares (acquisition price fixed based on the value of the share appreciation rights on the granted date), a call option is granted to Puig to re-acquire the shares at any time from 2030 at the fair value of the shares at the date the call option will be executed. Simultaneously to the call option grant, a put option is granted to the beneficiary once the shares are acquired enabling the beneficiaries to exercise them at any time from the acquisition until 2030 except in the lock up period. Such obligation is held by the company which granted the shares.
The detail of plans based on share appreciation rights as of December, 31 is as follows:

Treasury shares Commitments
As detailed in note 3, as of the date of the IPO, all put options granted by Puig to the beneficiaries of the prior SARs plans (2015-2018 and 2021-2023) have ceased to be effective. Accordingly, the entire 238,868 million euros liability recorded as of December 31, 2023 was reversed.
Employee Pension plan
A portion of Puig's employees are covered by defined contribution or benefit retirement plans paid for by Puig companies. The type of plan varies according to the legal requirements of the country in which beneficiaries are employed.
a. Defined contribution plans.
For defined contribution plans, Puig undertakes to pay a defined contribution (e.g., a fixed amount or percentage of salaries).
Defined contribution plans cover employees mainly in Spain, United States, France and United Kingdom, among other countries.
Puig does not assume any obligations or commitments other than the annual contribution.

b. Defined benefit plans.
For defined benefit plans, Puig undertakes to pay the employee a defined benefit (e.g. a retirement pension at a fixed amount or percentage of the employee's final salary). For the defined benefit plan, the present value of future benefits (which the company is liable to pay under the plan) is computed using actuarial principles and the projected unit credit method. The computation of present value is based on assumptions of interest rates, increases in salaries and pensions, investment yield, mortality and disability. The present value is computed exclusively for the benefits to which the employees have earned entitlement through their employment with the company. The Group's defined benefit plans cover employees in France.
The defined benefit plan of French companies is not outsourced. The liability under the plan calculated on an actuarial basis is stated in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 at an amount of 9.8 million euros (8.3 million euros in 2023).
The amounts recognized in equity are the following:
| (Thousand euros) | 2024 | 2023 |

Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts 30. Financial risk management, objectives and policies
30. Financial risk management, objectives and policies
In its normal course of business Puig is exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risks and interest rate risks) and other risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk management. Puig's management focuses on minimizing these risks implementing risk management policies to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group and define appropriate risk limits and controls. Group's management procedures are designed to have a control environment.
This note provides information on the Group's exposure to risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing risks, the methods used to measure these risks and the financial instruments used to mitigate the corresponding risks.
The Group's Audit Committee supervises how management controls comply with the Group's risk management procedures and policies and review whether the risk management policy is suitable considering the risks that the Group is exposed to.
Foreign Exchange risk
The Group operates in an international environment and therefore is exposed to exchange rate risk on transactions in currencies, especially with regards to the USD and the GBP (being the euro the functional currency of the Group and the currency of the parent company). Currency risk is associated with future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities, and net investment in foreign currencies.
Puig has a significant portion of sales to customers and to their own subsidiaries as well as certain purchases in currencies other than their functional currency (euro). Hedging instruments are used to reduce the foreign exchange risks arising from the fluctuations of currencies different from the companies' functional currencies.
Before the end of the year, as part of the budget preparation, Puig companies are responsible for identifying the exposure to foreign currency cash flows. The Group centrally analyzes the exposure and arranges the appropriate hedges. The identified foreign exchange risks are hedged using forward contracts or options.
Puig has implemented a strict policy to manage, measure and monitor these risks. The activities are organized based on a clear segregation of duties between the front office, middle office and back office which are responsible for the measurement, hedging and administration and financial control. The hedging strategy must always be presented to the top management for approval.
Derivative instruments entered into hedge for foreign exchange are accounted for in accordance with hedge accounting principles.

The financing obtained by Puig is mainly in Euros representing 96% of the total debt (95% in 2023).
The following table shows a sensitivity analysis to possible reasonable changes in the exchange rate of the main foreign currencies with which Puig operates, keeping all other variables constant:
| (Thousands of euros) | Increase/ Decrease in USD |
Effect on income | Effect in equity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 10 % | 11,300 | 17,499 |
| (10) % | (11,300) | (17,499) | |
| 2023 | 10 % | 8,015 | 12,131 |
| (10) % | (8,015) | (12,131) |
| (Thousands of euros) | Increase/ Decrease in GBP |
Effect on income | Effect in equity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 10 % | (14,053) | (60,025) |
| (10) % | 14,053 | 60,025 | |
| 2023 | 10 % | (5,730) | (98,105) |
| (10) % | 5,730 | 98,105 |
Puig has arranged exchange rate hedges to cover potential fluctuations in foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Puig's interest rate risk arises from current and non-current borrowings with banks. The objective of Puig is to have a high proportion of borrowings at fixed rate or floating interest rates hedged by interest rates swaps (IRS). The main objective of the management is to protect net profit from the impact of significant changes in interest rates.
Puig uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps) to cover the risk of changes in the interest rates on some loans. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. The fair value at December 31, 2024 amounts to 129 thousand euros (14,891 thousand euros in 2023).
As of December 31, 2024, the amount of debt subject to variable interest rates, without interest rate hedging, totaled 74 million euros (294 million euros in 2023), representing 4% of the total bank debt (14% in 2023).

Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts 30. Financial risk management, objectives and policies
An increase of 2% in the market interest rate could result in a financial interest expense increase of 1.5 million euros (2023: €5.9 million).
An increase of 2% in the market interest rate could result in a change of the valuation of the interest rate swaps of 19.7 million euros (33.8 million in 2023).
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk to which Puig is exposed in the event that a customer or counterparty fails to pay its obligation.
To mitigate this risk Puig has a credit policy and manages its exposure to collection risk in the normal course of its operations. Puig evaluates the credit given to all its customers above a certain amount. Likewise, Puig has a credit insurance for most of its accounts receivable.
The Group recognizes impairment based on its best estimate of the expected losses on trade and other receivables. The main impairment losses recognized are due to specific losses relating to individually identified risks. At year end, these impairment losses are immaterial.
The maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to trade receivables is the amount shown in note 19 above amounting to 583,810 (501,861 thousand euros in 2023). Puig customers are reasonably fragmented, so individually none of them represents more than 10% in the overall amount of trade receivables.
Puig has undrawn amounts from credit facilities that can be used to cover operating cash deficits.
Also, to mitigate this credit risk, the Group may sometimes partially transfer this risk to third parties via non-recourse factoring of trade receivables in which case the Group would not retain any credit risk.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. To mitigate this credit risk, the Group only works with banks with strong credit ratings as qualified by international rating agencies. The solvency of these institutions, as indicated in each institution's credit ratings, is reviewed periodically in order to perform active counterparty risk management.

The assets subject to the credit risk exposure recognized in the balance sheet were as follow:
| 2023 | |
|---|---|
| 689 | 16,359 |
| 131,444 | |
| 567,529 | 484,705 |
| 282,991 | 186,709 |
| 852,901 | |
| 1,864,720 | 1,672,118 |
| 2024 130,865 882,646 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure where possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to settle its obligations at the maturity date.
Puig uses financial planning techniques to manage liquidity risk, taking into consideration the maturity of financial assets and liabilities and cash flow projections. Puig objective is to balance structural requirements and exceptional needs of cash with the loans and overdrafts taken out, to ensure that it will be able to use them depending on its liquidity situation.
As a consequence of the aforementioned the Group considers that it has liquidity and access to medium and long-term financing that allows the Group to ensure the necessary resources to meet the potential commitments for future investments.
Puig has undrawn amounts from credit facilities that can be used to cover operating cash deficits.

The maturities of the main financial liabilities, which include Leases (note 17), Bank Borrowings (note 25) and Liabilities for business combinations (note 27) as of December, 31 are as follows:
| (Thousands of euros) | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 and subsequent |

(*) On May 27, 2024, Puig, S.L. agreed to change the closing date of the fiscal year, which is now June 30 instead of December 31. Accordingly, and by exception, the fiscal year that began on January 1, 2024, ended on June 30, 2024. The current fiscal year began on July 1, 2024, and will end on June 30, 2025, and so on.

Annex III. Alternative performance measures
Like-for-like net revenues growth
Like-for-like net revenues evolution reflects Puig's organic growth by adjusting net revenues for the impact of:
- Increases in scope/perimeter, by deducting from net revenues for the current year the amount of revenue generated over the months during which the acquired entities/brands were not consolidated in the prior year. For the avoidance of doubt, revenue generated by acquired entities/brands in the current year is included for the months when the acquired entities/brands were also consolidated in the prior year.
- Exchange rates fluctuations, calculated as the difference between current sales at current FX and current sales at previous year FX. This normalizes the impact from currency appreciation/depreciation compared to Euro to reflect the actual underlying performance of the company. This excludes the impact of high-inflation currencies (such as Argentine peso).
Like-for-like growth is used to provide a more homogeneous measure of Net Revenues and to provide a better understanding of the performance of the business.

2. Business evolution
Business context 2024
2024 was a positive year for the global beauty market despite an environment marked by uncertainty and certain adverse factors, such as:
- An uncertain environment due to geopolitical stress, with ongoing conflicts in various regions all of which impacted slowing economic growth.
- While global inflation levels moderated over the course of the year, the beauty consumer in various jurisdictions has seen their disposable income reduced and adopting a more selective approach to beauty consumption.
- The Chinese market continued to show significant weakness with contraction in both domestic consumer spending and in the travel retail market.
Within the beauty market, the fragrance consumption has shown healthier growth levels compared to both makeup and skincare.

Results for the annual years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Net revenues
In 2024, net revenues increased 11.3% to €4,789.8 from €4,304.1 million in 2023, continuing the positive growth trajectory from previous years, reflecting (i) strong organic growth in Puig's core business, Fragrance and Fashion in EMEA and Americas, due to the desirability of our brands and the strong demand of our products that allowed for the increase of value market share; (ii) continued diversification into Skincare where strong organic growth was complemented with the inorganic contribution of Dr.Barbara Sturm, acquired in January 2024; partially offset with (iii) the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations; and (iv) the negative contribution of the makeup business segment, that faced various impacts during the year.
Organic growth (Like-for-like) reflects our organic growth by adjusting net revenues for the impact of (i) changes in scope/perimeter, by deducting from net revenues for the relevant year the amount of net revenues generated over the months during which the acquired entities/brands were not consolidated in the prior year and (ii) exchange rates fluctuations, calculated as the difference between net revenues for the relevant year at that year's exchange rates against the euro and net revenues in the that same year at the prior year's exchange rates against the euro, using the annual average exchange rate.
| (Millions of euros, except %) | 2024 | 2023 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net revenues | 4,789.8 | 4,304.1 | 11.3 % |
| Net revenues related to increases in scope/perimeter | (53.6) | (1.2) % | |
| Net revenues related exchange effect rate | 35.6 | 0.8 % | |
| Like-for-like net revenues growth | 4,771.9 | 4,304.1 | 10.9 % |
The strong organic growth during the periods under review is 10.9% in 2024 (Like-for-like). The acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm in January 2024 contributed +1.2% to net revenue. Meanwhile, exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of (0.8%), primarily due to exposure in emerging markets; this was partially offset by the strength of the British pound.

Net revenues by business segment
The following table presents our net revenues by business segment for the years indicated together with the percentage change between years:
| (Millions of euros, except %) | 2024 | Y24/Y23 % Variation |
2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrances and fashion | 3,538.0 | 13.6 % | 3,115.0 |
| Makeup | 763.0 | (1.3) % | 773.1 |
| Skin care | 516.2 | 19.8 % | 430.9 |
| Eliminations | (27.4) | 84.1 % | (14.9) |
| Total | 4,789.8 | 11.3 % | 4,304.1 |
Net revenues grew at double digits in 2024, with Fragrance and Fashion being the main contributor to this growth, an increase of €423.0 million, or 13.6%, compared to 2023), followed by Makeup (a decrease of €-10.1 million, or (1.3)%, compared to 2023) and Skincare (an increase of €85.3 million, or 19.8%, compared to 2023) as further described below.
The growth in our Fragrance and Fashion business segment during the period under review was primarily due to the growth of both Prestige and Niche brands. The skincare business showed strong organic growth driven mainly by the Derma brands complemented with the acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm whereas growth in our Makeup showed a decrease during the year, with a flat Charlotte Tilbury performance and a negative contribution from the smaller make up offerings at Puig.
Fragrance and Fashion
In 2024, net revenues in the Fragrance and Fashion business segment increased by 13.6% to €3,538.0 from €3,115.0 million in 2023. In Fragrance (with Fashion representing less than 5% of our net revenues in 2024), this increase was primarily driven by:
- i.An increase in net revenues from the Prestige portfolio category with double digit growth, particularly in North America and EMEA, driven by the success of Puig brands, in particular:
- Rabanne, reaching the €1 billion mark in net revenue for the second time in 2024, supported on launches like "Million Gold";
- Carolina Herrera leveraging the continued strength of "Good Girl", reaching the #1 feminine fragrance line in ranking worldwide; and
- Jean Paul Gaultier, which entered the Top 10 of Fragrance brands worldwide in 2024, building in the continued momentum of "Les Males" and "Classiques";

- ii. Significant growth in net revenues coming from the Niche portfolio category, primarily from:
- Penhaligons, L'Artisan Parfumeur and Dries Van Noten which showed consistent performance through 2024, with double digit growth;
- Byredo, after following an increased integration into Puig operations and process showed compelling growth in the second half of 2024.
Makeup
In 2024, net revenues in the Makeup business segment decreased (1.3)% to €763.0 million from €773.1 million in 2023. This reflected a decrease in net revenues primarily as a result of:
- i. A flat performance of Charlotte Tilbury, that experienced several impacts during 2024 which included a tougher comparison against a strong 2023 performance further impacted by sell-in and sell-out dynamics including the anniversary effect of the sell-in pipeline into Ulta towards the end of 2023, and specific market dynamics in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. In addition, the business segment was also impacted by the voluntary withdrawal of select batches of Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray at the end of 2024.
- ii. The negative performance of Puig's smaller make up offerings.
Skincare
In 2024, net revenues in Skincare, our fastest growing business segment, increased 19.8% to €516.2 from €430.9 million in 2023. This increase was primarily driven by:
- i. The strong performance of double digit of Dermo-Cosmetics brands Uriage and Apivita, primarily in EMEA;
- ii. The incorporation of Dr.Barbara Sturm in January 2024 that contributed with €54 million.
Net Revenue by geographical segment
The following table presents our net revenues by geographical segment for the years indicated together with the percentage change between years:
| (Millions of euros, except %) | 2024 | Y24/Y23 % Variation |
2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMEA | 2,620.0 | 12.8 % | 2,322.1 |
| Americas | 1,714.6 | 11.1 % | 1,543.0 |
| Asia-Pacific | 455.1 | 3.7 % | 439.0 |
| Total | 4,789.8 | 11.3 % | 4,304.1 |
In 2024, net revenues grew across all of our geographic segments. EMEA was the main contributor in absolute terms (an increase of €297.9 million or 12.8% growth compared to 2023), followed by the Americas (an increase of €171.6 million or 11.1% growth compared to 2023) and Asia-Pacific (an increase of €16.1 million or 3.7% growth compared to 2023).
EMEA
In 2024, net revenues in EMEA increased 12.8% to €2,620.0 from €2,322.1 million in 2023, reflecting above-market growth in 2024. In particular, growth was led by the Fragrance and Fashion business segment with strong contribution also from both Make Up and Skincare.
Europe is the home market for the majority of our brands, which reinforces our positioning on this continent. Our net revenues grew in the main markets of the region, which by decreasing size are the UK, Spain and France, with these three markets being within our top five worldwide.
In the Middle East, Puig experienced continued growth of fragrances of the Niche category.

Americas
In 2024, net revenues in the Americas increased 11.1% to €1,714.6 from €1,543.0 million in 2023, driven by our three main markets: the US, Brazil, and Mexico. All three are among our top ten markets worldwide.
The Americas geographical segment is divided into two areas with distinct characteristics:
- i. in North America (the US and Canada), our top market in terms of net revenues is the US (the largest beauty market in the world), where Fragrance and Fashion was the largest contributor to growth in the region; and
- ii. Latin America, the Fragrance and Fashion remained the largest business segment. The region faced increased competition during 2024 and was exposed to negative fluctuations in foreign exchanges in Brazil and Mexico. The positive Argentine Peso hyperinflation adjustment, compared to a negative one in 2023 generated a positive impact in the region.
Asia-Pacific
In 2024, net revenues in Asia-Pacific increased 3.7% to €455.1 from €439.0 million in 2023. The growth experienced was in spite of a challenging market environment, particularly in China, where the market remained subdued. During 2024, Puig benefited from the newly created subsidiaries of Japan, India and South Korea.

Operating profit
Operating profit increased 9% to €758.7 million from €693.0 million in 2023.
| (Millions of euros, except %) | 2024 | Y24/Y23 % Variation |
2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrances and fashion | 677.6 | 15.4 % | 587.2 |
| Makeup | 44.1 | (29.2) % | 62.2 |
| Skin care | 37.1 | (14.9) % | 43.6 |
| Total | 758.7 | 9.5 % | 693.0 |
Fragrance and Fashion
In 2024, operating profit for Fragrance and Fashion increased 15% to €677.6 from €587.2 million in 2023. This increase primarily reflects the continued positive performance of our Prestige brands, particularly in our core markets in EMEA and the Americas, where we have a strong presence and leadership positions thereby contributing to greater profitability. In spite of the growth in operating profit for the business segment, Puig maintained strong levels of Advertising and Promotion (A&P) during 2024 to support the growth in the company's brands portfolio.
Makeup
In 2024, operating profit for Makeup decreased (29)% to €44.1 million from €62.2 million in 2023. While Charlotte Tilbury, retained healthy profitability levels, the performance of the smaller make up offerings at Puig, with reduced scale and higher levels of Advertisement and promotion required, impacted negatively in the profitability of the business segment.
Skincare
In 2024, operating profit for Skincare decreased (15)% to €37.1 million from €43.6 million in 2023. This decrease primarily was due to the dilutive effect of the acquisition of Dr.Barbara Sturm, that, as planned, followed an exercise of readjustment of their distribution footprint to prepare the brand for future growth.

3. Treasury shares
In May 2023, Puig Brands acquired 21,000,000 of its shares from its sole shareholder, Puig, S.L., for a total amount of 344,775 thousand euros.
All transactions carried out with treasury shares are detailed in note 23 of the consolidated report.
At December 31, 2024, the Company holds 4,886,667 of treasury shares (Class B Shares) amounting to 80,281 thousand euros.

4. Financial risk management
Foreign currency exchange rate risk management
The Group operates in an international environment and therefore is exposed to exchange rate risk on transactions in currencies, especially with regards to the USD and the GBP (being the euro the functional currency of the Group and the currency of the parent company). Currency risk is associated with future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities, and net investment in foreign currencies.
Puig has a significant portion of sales to customers and to their own subsidiaries as well as certain purchases in currencies other than their functional currency (euro). Hedging instruments are used to reduce the foreign exchange risks arising from the fluctuations of currencies different from the companies' functional currencies.
Before the end of the year, as part of the budget preparation, Puig companies are responsible for identifying the exposure to foreign currency cash flows. The Group centrally analyzes the exposure and arranges the appropriate hedges. The identified foreign exchange risks are hedged using forward contracts or options.
Puig has implemented a strict policy to manage, measure and monitor these risks. The activities are organized based on a clear segregation of duties between the front office, middle office and back office which are responsible for the measurement, hedging and administration and financial control. The hedging strategy must always be presented to the top management for approval.
The financing obtained by Puig is mainly in Euros representing 96% of the total debt (2023: 95%).
Derivative instruments entered into hedge for foreign exchange are accounted for in accordance with hedge accounting principles.
Puig has arranged exchange rate hedges to cover potential fluctuations in foreign currency. Note 29 of the consolidated report presents the effect on our income statement and equity resulting from an appreciation or depreciation of the US dollar and the pound sterling, respectively. Our sensitivity to sterling is mainly due to Charlotte Tilbury's strength in the UK, our largest European market.
Interest rate risk
Puig's interest rate risk arises from current and non-current borrowings with banks. The objective of Puig is to have a high proportion of borrowings at fixed rate or floating interest rates hedged by interest rates swaps (IRS). The main objective of the management is to protect net profit from the impact of significant changes in interest rates.

Puig uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps) to cover the risk of changes in the interest rates on some loans. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. The fair value at December 31, 2024 amounts to 129 thousand euros (2023: 14,891 thousand euros).
An increase of 2% in the market interest rate could result in a financial interest expense increase of 1.5 million euros (2023: €5.9 million).
An increase of 2% in the market interest rate could result in a change of the valuation of the interest rate swaps of 19.7 million euros (33.8 million in 2023).
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk to which Puig is exposed in the event that a customer or counterparty fails to pay its obligation.
To mitigate this risk Puig has a credit policy and manages its exposure to collection risk in the normal course of its operations. Puig evaluates the credit given to all its customers above a certain amount. Likewise, Puig has a credit insurance for most of its accounts receivable.
The Group recognizes impairment based on its best estimate of the expected losses on trade and other receivables. The main impairment losses recognized are due to specific losses relating to individually identified risks. At year end, these impairment losses are immaterial.
The maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to trade receivables is the amount shown in note 19 above amounting to 583,810 thousand euros (2023: 501,861 thousand euros). Puig customers are reasonably fragmented, so individually none of them represents more than 10% in the overall amount of trade receivables.
Puig has undrawn amounts from credit facilities that can be used to cover operating cash deficits.
Also, to mitigate this credit risk, the Group has transferred this risk to third parties via non-recourse factoring of trade receivables in which case the Group would not retain any credit risk.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. To mitigate this credit risk, the Group only works with banks with strong credit ratings as qualified by international rating agencies. The solvency of these institutions, as indicated in each institution's credit ratings, is reviewed periodically in order to perform active counterparty risk management.

The assets subject to exposure to credit risk recognized in the balance sheet are detailed in note 29 of the consolidated report.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure where possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to settle its obligations at the maturity date.
Puig uses financial planning techniques to manage liquidity risk, taking into consideration the maturity of financial assets and liabilities and cash flow projections. Puig objective is to balance structural requirements and exceptional needs of cash with the loans and overdrafts taken out, to ensure that it will be able to use them depending on its liquidity situation.
As a consequence of the aforementioned the Group considers that it has liquidity and access to medium and long-term financing that allows the Group to ensure the necessary resources to meet the potential commitments for future investments.
Puig has undrawn amounts from credit facilities that can be used to cover operating cash deficits.
The maturities of the main financial liabilities are detailed in note 29 of the consolidated report.
Capital risk management
Puig's objective is to safeguard its capacity to continue managing its recurring activities and the capacity to continue to grow, by optimizing the debt-toequity ratio and to create value for the shareholder.
The main purpose of Puig capital management is to ensure a financial structure that can optimize capital cost and maintain a solid financial position, in order to access to the financial markets at a competitive cost to cover financing needs.
Puig manages its capital to ensure that certain financial ratios are appropriate to develop its business, maintaining a high level of solvency so that it can provide appropriate returns to its shareholders. The net debt ratio, as well as its calculation, are detailed in note 29 of the consolidated report.
The volume of capital is determined according to existing risks, making the corresponding adjustments to capital in accordance with changes in the economic environment and managed risks.

5. Information on the average payment period to suppliers

9. Production, research and development activities and social aspects
Production costs
We require high quality raw materials in order to manufacture our products, such as essential oils and alcohols, and also glass containers and packaging components, which we purchase from various third parties. The market price for raw materials that we require for our business depends on a wide array of factors that are out of our control and that are very difficult to predict, such as scarcity, competition between suppliers, fluctuations in raw materials indices, and inflation.
We have limited exposure to energy and commodity costs, which do not make up a large part of our operating expenses, and strong pricing power among consumers due to the high margins that characterize the premium segment of the beauty industry.
Research and development activities
As part of our strategy to lead innovation within the industry, Puig consistently promotes the entrepreneurial spirit of its brands and of the people who are part of the company.
Developing and launching new products helps maintain the appeal of Puig brands, increases customer loyalty, and encourages purchasing. The company's focus on this area is a critical component of its growth plan and its performance will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to be innovative and launch new products.
Product design is conducted internally, together with key partners, to ensure consistency and strengthen the character and identity of each brand. The process starts with an innovative idea at the core of the brand, which is worked on hand-in-hand with innovation and development teams to bring it to reality.
People
The most valuable asset that Puig has is its people. 2023 was marked by the review and launch of a new version of the Ethical Code, which establishes the framework for the behavior expected of everyone who works at Puig, as well as third parties who work with Puig.
The success of Puig as a company lies in the talent of the people who work for it. As the company faces new challenges, it becomes necessary to capture what is happening in the world and bring new and diverse perspectives.
For this reason the updated version of the Ethical Code, launched in 2023, reaffirms the Puig determination to become a benchmark for sustainable change, prioritizing environmental sustainability, diversity awareness, and respect.

Puig is aware of the critical importance of attracting, developing and retaining talented employees, and that the Puig working environment is characterized by a human rights-friendly, inclusive and non-discriminatory culture, as well as the need to adapt to a changing world.
In line with these commitments, a number of milestones occurred in 2024:
- In May 2024, Puig successfully completed its €2.7 billion initial public offering (IPO), of which €1.25 billion were primary proceeds. Puig was subsequently included in the IBEX 35 index, solidifying its position as a prominent player in the Spanish stock market.
- Acquisition of a majority stake in Dr.Barbara Sturm, enhancing Puig's presence in the premium Skincare business segment.
- Unveiled a new visual identity with a redesigned logo, paying tribute to Puig's legacy and future, placing creativity and core values at the center.
- Inaugurated the second Puig Tower at its Barcelona headquarters and new offices in New York and London, further supporting its global expansion.
- Celebrated its first-ever global ESG event, uniting employees to share and embrace Puig's social and environmental objectives while encouraging sustainable daily practices.
- Partnered with the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) to advance Puig's efforts towards gender equality.
- Launched the Puig Human Rights Policy, applying it across all Puig businesses globally.
- Introduced the Puig Ethical Code training, aligned with the company's renewed ambitions and applied to all its businesses worldwide.
- Served as a Global Partner for the 37th America's Cup and as the Naming Partner for the inaugural Puig Women's America's Cup, highlighting Puig's dedication to gender equality in sailing.

Basis for the Preparation

Basis for Preparation of the Consolidated Non-Financial Information Statement and sustainability information
This Report complies with the requirements of Law 11/2018, of December 28, which amends the Commercial Code, the Law on Capital Companies (Royal Legislative Decree 1/ 2010, of July 2), and Law 22/2015, of July 20, on Account Auditing, in matters of non-financial information and diversity. It follows the European Commission's non-financial reporting guidelines (2017/C 215/01) under Directive 2014/95/EU and adheres to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) established under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Prepared on a consolidated basis, this Consolidated Non-Financial Information Statement and sustainability information aligns with the Puig's financial statement scope, covering Puig Brands, S.A. and all its subsidiaries in consolidated financial reporting. Any information beyond this scope is duly specified.
As required by Law 11/2018, this Report for the 2024 financial year (January 1 - December 31), provides information on human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery, environmental, social and personnel-related matters that are relevant for Puig in the execution of its activities and in those locations in which it operates, following the criteria of materiality, relevance, comparability and reliability.
This Report constitutes the Consolidated Non-Financial Information Statement and sustainability information that sets out current regulations and forms part of the Consolidated Management Report that is presented with the Consolidated Annual Accounts of Puig.

Disclosures in relation to Specific Circumstances
Regarding the year 2024, the CSRD has not been transposed into the Spanish legislative framework. Therefore, Puig voluntarily elaborates the 2024 report aligned with CSRD requirements. That said, this report also includes some annexes to comply with the current non-financial information reporting law in Spain (Law 11/2018).
Puig has also followed the recommendations of the TCFD/IFRS S2, TNFD, UN Global Compact and SASB.
Value chain estimation
The estimated information in the report is mainly linked to Puig's carbon footprint data. The whole Puig carbon footprint in 2024 contains a 13% of estimated data, specifically in scope 3 categories, with a 12,04% in upstream categories and 38,52% in downstream categories, which weight 94% and 5% respectively over total data (remaining 1% consists on own operations).
The estimation of these data that are not available as primary or secondary source, is done following one of these three methodologies:
-
- Use of historical data, to which trends and seasonality are added.
-
- Using net revenue and comparing with similar business units and business segments among Puig.
-
- For Fashion businesses, Puig has a prototype for the calculation that was developed a couple of years ago.
The low volume of estimated data, the consolidated experience of the company in the calculation and the systems in place to monitor any evolution or change ensure that the result presents a high level of accuracy.
The company plans to increase the volume of primary and secondary data, particularly from Fashion houses, in the near future. Additionally, it will strive to achieve a higher volume of on-time data reception to reduce the estimates for the last part of the year.

2024: A Landmark Year of Transformation and Historic Milestones
In 2024, Puig marked a significant chapter in its history, celebrating its 110th anniversary while embarking on a new journey as a publicly listed company. This milestone reflects both the strength of the founding family's legacy and our ambition to remain and further strengthen our position as a key player in the premium beauty and fashion industry.
Our performance reflects Puig's ability to navigate an evolving market landscape, achieving record net revenue of €4,790 million (+11.3% vs 2023), adjusted EBITDA of €969 million (representing 20.2% of sales), adjusted net profit of €551 million (representing 11.5% of sales) and net profit attributed to shareholder before adding back extraordinary expenses of €531 million (which represents 11.1% of sales). Once again, these figures represent the best results in Puig's history, surpassing what we had expected to achieve in 2025 (€4.5 billion) one year ahead of expectations, presented in early 2021 as part of our vision 2025. This achievement reflects the effectiveness of our strategy and the dedication of our more than 12,100 passionate people who are part of Puig, and who have done tremendous work in a year that saw both challenges and achievements.
The most transformative event of the year was Puig's IPO, which became a reality with the bell-ringing ceremony on May 3rd, three months later Puig was included into the IBEX 35. It was the largest IPO in Europe since 2022, a testament to the interest that our story created in the investor community, and a milestone achieved thanks to the contributions of many people over many years, contributions which were recognized with an extraordinary award.
Our decision to go public has triggered a number of additional initiatives, such as the introduction of a renewed brand identity that underscores who we are, what we do, and what we stand for as a global company. This new brand identity shares our purpose, values, and way of doing business -the Puig way-, our premium Love Brands, our ecosystem of founders and our roots in Barcelona. And, at the same time, it digs deeply into our legacy and defines our company as a Home of Creativity: a place where our brands can shine, and where our people can grow.
We have also increased our international profile and visibility through the sponsoring of the first-ever Puig's Women's America's Cup. This historic event took place in Barcelona, our hometown, and is strongly aligned with our maritime heritage and purpose. Through it we have proudly contributed to enhancing women's inclusion and to inspiring the next generation of female sailors. And this was on top of being global beauty sponsor of the America's Cup and organizing an historic edition of the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona regatta.
We signaled our international growth with the inauguration of a second tower which significantly expanded our headquarters in Barcelona. The inauguration was attended by Their Majesties the King and the Queen of Spain. And we have also opened new offices in New York's Rockefeller Center and London's Covent Garden, strengthening our presence in our three largest markets: US, UK and Spain.

Driving growth across business segments and markets
The Fragrance and Fashion business segment remained a key growth driver, achieving net revenue of €3,538 million, a 13.6% increase compared to 2023. Growth was driven primarily by consistent performances across the Prestige fragrance portfolio, such as Carolina Herrera's Good Girl achieving a key milestone as top 1 feminine fragrance line ranking worldwide for the first time ever. Jean Paul Gaultier completed an outstanding year that saw the brand entering the top 10 fragrance brand rankings for the first time in its history, joining Carolina Herrera and Rabanne. And Le Male became #3 masculine fragrance line worldwide joining One Million by Rabanne, #4 masculine fragrance line worldwide, in the top 5 masculine fragrance line worldwide ranking. This growth was complemented by new product launches and range extensions, such as the launch of Million Gold by Rabanne, or Vénus de Nina Ricci, the first new fragrance from the brand in 10 years. This drove Puig's global Value Market Share (VMS) in selective fragrances to 11.5%, further solidifying its leadership in key regions.
Puig continued to expand its unique Niche fragrance offerings with a series of launches at Penhaligon's, Byredo, Dries Van Noten, and L'Artisan Parfumeur.
The fashion industry saw the farewell of Dries Van Noten, a visionary founder who will remain a part of the brand's creative journey, but will now be actively led by the recently appointed Creative Director Julian Klausner. At Nina Ricci, Harris Reed's artistic vision continued to take shape, while Wes Gordon at Carolina Herrera and Julien Dossena at Rabanne maintained their focus on reinforcing the brands' creative evolution. The collaborative approach pioneered by Jean Paul Gaultier featuring guest designers continued to captivate both young audiences and industry experts alike.
Skincare, a strategic priority for Puig, was the fastest-growing business segment with revenues reaching €516 million (+19.8% vs 2023). We acquired Dr. Barbara Sturm, a leader in premium Skincare, and successfully included it in the Niche portfolio of our Love Brands, strengthening our presence in this dynamic market and emphasizing our dedication to science-backed beauty solutions. The Dermo-Cosmetics brands Uriage and Apivita delivered solid performances, while the consolidation of Skincare Wellness brands Kama Ayurveda and Loto del Sur further diversified our skincare offering to meet evolving consumer needs.
In the Makeup business segment Puig reinforced its leadership with revenues of €763 million, a decrease of (1.3%) vs 2023. Our largest contributor to makeup, Charlotte Tilbury, posted a flat performance in the segment versus 2023. This was the result of several factors, including a tougher comparison with a strong 2023 performance, further impacted by specific sell-in / sell-out dynamics. In spite of softer revenue growth, Charlotte Tilbury kept its #1 Prestige Makeup brand position in the UK and #3 position in the US while expanding into new markets. Additionally, we have proudly extended our strategic partnership with founder and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury MBE to keep driving the brand's long-term success together.
Puig's growth trajectory has been consistent across all major regions, with double-digit revenue growth in EMEA and Americas, while the Asia-Pacific region remained a strategic focus with steady progress despite external challenges.

Commitment to sustainability and positive impact
Our ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) commitments remain central to our long-term strategy. Puig continued to advance its 2030 ESG Agenda with clear progress in achieving our net-zero targets, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in June 2024. We take pride in being recognized by CDP's A-list for Climate and receiving a strong Sustainalytics score, reinforcing our dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices.
Our purpose-driven brands continued to lead sustainability and social responsibility initiatives, fostering cross-sector collaboration to drive meaningful change. Apivita's Billion Bees project raises awareness of the vital role of bees in our ecosystem while working toward the ambitious goal of regenerating over 30 billion bees by 2028, positioning the brand as a leader in bee-friendly beauty. Carolina Herrera stands as a tribute to women artists from all walks of life and discipline through 'Carolina Herrera for Women in the Arts'. This platform aims to champion female creativity from every angle, with academic training, patronage, or simply providing the stage for female artistic brilliance. Among its many initiatives, the brand has collaborated with Mexican artists for the Resort 25 show, reinforcing its support for craftsmanship and heritage. Jean Paul Gaultier sustains its long-term commitment to champion diversity and inclusion. From the richness of their cast and ambassadors to the respect of local traditions and yearly partnerships with associations sharing common values, Jean Paul Gaultier continues to celebrate differences in all forms since 1976: all cultures, all bodies, all genders. Charlotte Tilbury continues its partnership with The Prince's Trust, founded by His Majesty King Charles III when he was HRH The Prince of Wales, specifically supporting the Enterprise Programme, which is dedicated to helping the next generation of entrepreneurs bring their dreams to life. These are just a few examples of the many initiatives carried out by our Love Brands, each contributing to a more sustainable, inclusive, and purpose-driven future.
This year, Puig has advanced its efforts towards gender equality by signing the UN Women's Empowerment Principles and has established a unified framework across the company with regard to human rights.
The VIII edition of Makers, under the Invisible Beauty social action program of Puig, has resulted in a long-term agreement, led by Rabanne, with Mentoring Matters, a global non-profit organization that aims to promote equity and opportunity within creative industries.
We have also launched a global training initiative on the Ethical Code to equip all Puig teams with the knowledge to uphold the highest ethical standards in their daily work and promote a speak up culture through our Reporting Channel, as well as an Inclusion survey to keep making progress with out people on this relevant subject.
Looking to the future with confidence
As we reflect on the past year, Puig's continued success is a testament to our way of doing business -the Puig way-, the dedication of our people, the strength of our brands, and our ability to adapt to change while remaining true to our core values. Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we remain focused on fostering a culture of creativity, driving innovation, and delivering sustainable growth.

In 2024, the company reached its 110-year anniversary, honoring the values, principles, and a unique way of doing things -the Puig way-, put in place by the founding family and passed down over three generations, a legacy that defines its culture.
Creativity, entrepreneurial audacity, and a relentless passion for innovation are central to Puig's approach.

Puig fosters a dynamic brand ecosystem, combining heritage with contemporary trends. The company focuses on strengthening its owned brands while partnering with visionary founders who share its boldness, authenticity, and innovation. Iconic collaborations with Paco Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, and Jean Paul Gaultier—spanning five, three, and one decade respectively illustrate Puig's ability to integrate and elevate brands within its ecosystem. This same approach has attracted a new generation of pioneers, including Dries Van Noten, Charlotte Tilbury MBE, and Dr. Barbara Sturm, to name a few, further reinforcing Puig's position in the industry.
To express all these ideas while elevating the awareness of the corporate brand, in 2024 Puig introduced a renewed brand identity which portrays the company as a Home of Creativity: a warm environment where brands shine, people grow, and audacity, imagination, and non-conformity are embraced.
The new identity is a tribute to the Puig legacy and the expression of its culture, a bridge between a successful history and an exciting future ahead, the balance between reason and feelings, an echo to rigor and non-conformity, and a reflection of the Puig sensibility which allows it to nurture and take care of its brands. It is also inspired by the legacy of the artists that have been part of its history, reinterpreted through the eyes of the design agency M/M (Paris), founded by Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag.

Business Model
To bring Puig products to market, the company integrates each step in the value chain, ensuring that the quality and identity of each brand is reflected at each stage, and relies, when necessary, on the knowledge and infrastructure of market leading suppliers, distributors, and retailers.
| Product design and |
→ | Production | → | Distribution and logistics |
→ | Advertising and promotion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| development |
• Product Design and Development
It is conducted internally together with key partners, to ensure consistency while strengthening the character and identity of each brand. The process starts with an innovative idea at the core of the brand, which is worked on handin-hand with innovation and development teams to make it a reality. During this stage innovations and improvements in product packaging are also carried out by the teams, with the aim of finding more durable, cost-effective, and ecofriendly packaging options, maintaining safety, efficiency, and user-friendliness. The company also prioritizes enhancing the consumer experience by ensuring packaging is practical and aesthetically pleasing.
• Production
Mostly owned, it is carried out in the company's seven production plants in Europe and India: Vacarisses (Spain), focused on skincare; Alcalá de Henares (Spain), and Chartres (France), focused on fragrances; Echirolles and Uriageles-Bains (France), focused on Uriage products; Athens (Greece), focused on Apivita products; and Tamil Nadu (India), focused on Kama Ayurveda products.
Puig takes advantage of the synergies between its portfolio of brands while the company maintains a strong in-house manufacturing presence in its Fragrance and Skincare business segments, with a limited portion of production outsourced to third-party suppliers. The main raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are essential oils, alcohols, and specialty chemicals. We purchase these raw materials from various third parties and assemble the final products in our manufacturing facilities. Within the Makeup business segment, production is outsourced to third party suppliers.
• Distribution and Logistics
These are primarily performed through the network of global subsidiaries and logistics outsourced to specialized providers. Products reach the end-customer through physical channels, owned and third-party stores (department stores, pharmacies, drugstores and travel retail), and through digital channels, brands' own e-commerce, e-tailing of distributors who have stores, and distributors with exclusively online sales (pure players).

• Advertising and Promotion
Puig intends to elevate the consumer experience and attract new consumers, build loyalty, drive consumer advocacy and address the transformation of consumer shopping behaviors. The advertising and promotional approach is adapted depending on the identity, distribution, product focus, main consumer, and local relevance of each brand, leveraging the local knowledge of each country to optimize the resources allocated to each media and retailer. This includes strategically introducing brands and adapting product assortment and communications to fit local consumer tastes and preferences. Most of our creative advertising and promotion work is led in-house and in collaboration with external third parties.

Geographic Presence
Puig manages its global presence from its headquarters in Barcelona, supported by three key regional hubs located in Paris, London, and New York.
In 2024, the company signaled its international growth with the inauguration of the second Puig Tower, a second building that significantly expanded its headquarters in Barcelona, with the presence of their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain. The company also opened new offices in New York's iconic Rockefeller Center and London's Covent Garden, further reinforcing its presence in its three largest markets: United States, United Kingdom, and Spain.
With seven production plants across Europe and India, headquarters in Spain and brand headquarters and subsidiary offices in 32 locations, Puig's robust global network employs more than 12,100 people3 . Its extensive commercial network, which includes distributors and retailers alongside approximately 314 owned stores, ensures that its products are available in over 150 countries.

Business Segments
Puig structures its activity into three business segments: Fragrance and Fashion, Makeup, and Skincare.
While each brand maintains its primary focus within a specific business segment, several have strategically expanded into new categories. Carolina Herrera, traditionally recognized for its fragrances and fashion, introduced its makeup collection in recent years. In 2023, Rabanne extended its presence beyond fragrances and fashion with the launch of its makeup line. Charlotte Tilbury, known for its expertise in makeup and skincare, expanded into the fragrance category in 2024, becoming a tri-axis brand.
Puig continued its strong growth trajectory in 2024, achieving record net revenue of €4,790 million, with 11.3% reported growth and 10.9% LFL growth compared to 2023, well ahead of the premium beauty market. Fragrance and Fashion grew by 13.6%, Skincare increased 19.8%, while Makeup declined by (1.3)%. The acquisition of Dr. Barbara Sturm in the first quarter of 2024 contributed €54 million or +1.2% to net revenue. Meanwhile, exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of €36 million or (0.8%), primarily due to exposure in emerging markets; this was partially offset by the strength of the British pound.
Puig 2024 LFL growth also benefited from a positive impact of 1.1% due to a hyperinflation adjustment of the Argentine Peso which provided a favorable comparison to 2023 when the impact was negative.
Puig's diverse and strong brand portfolio, particularly its Prestige brands, continues to drive sustained growth at scale, reinforcing its position in the premium beauty industry while generating strong profit margins in spite of the current economic environment which has posed some uncertainties over the course of the year.

Fragrance and Fashion
Fragrance and Fashion continues to be Puig's largest and most profitable business segment, achieving a 13.6% increase on both a reported and constant perimeter basis, and generating €3,538 million in net revenue in 2024. This business segment accounted for 73% of Puig's total sales for the period.
Fashion remains a true enabler of the fragrance industry, especially in the premium market category, with the majority of premium fragrance brands being inspired by fashion brands. The creativity and storytelling intrinsic to fashion reinforce brand equity and consumer loyalty in the fragrance category. While fashion represents a small share of Puig's total net revenue, it plays a strategic role in enhancing the desirability and global reach of Puig's brands.
Puig saw accelerated above-market growth in the business segment, estimating that it increased its global value market share to 11.5%11 in the selective distributed fragrance business in 2024, after reaching 10% for the first time in 2022. This achievement has been driven by the strong growth of its major owned brands, which have continued to captivate and inspire the market.
Puig's Prestige brands recorded great performance for yet another year.
9 Eliminations across business segment for the period of FY 2023 and FY 2024 correspond to €15 M and €27 M respectively.
10 Fashion represents less than 5% of Puig's total net revenue.
11 Value Market Share for selective fragrances per Company Industry Sources, latest available data.

Rabanne continued to be a €1 billion revenue brand in 2024. A noteworthy highlight is Jean Paul Gaultier's exceptional performance, leveraging its strong brand equity and drive for innovation. The launch of Le Male Lover, Gaultier Divine Le Parfum and Le Beau and La Belle Paradise Garden attracted new consumers, further expanding its market presence.
Carolina Herrera's Good Girl continued its trajectory as a leading global fragrance, achieving a key milestone as the #1 feminine fragrance line worldwide for the first time ever. For the first time, Jean Paul Gaultier joined Carolina Herrera and Rabanne among the world's top 10 fragrances, with Le Male becoming the #3 masculine fragrance line globally. In 2024, Nina Ricci launched the first new fragrance for the brand in 10 years, Vénus de Nina Ricci.
Puig's Niche fragrance portfolio also delivered strong performance, with double-digit growth from Penhaligon's, L'Artisan Parfumeur, and Dries Van Noten, throughout the year, supported by strategic new launches that resonated with consumers seeking exclusivity and craftsmanship. The acceleration of Byredo in the second half of 2024, further led growth within Niche.
Operating profit margin in the Fragrance and Fashion business segment improved by 30 basis points, driven by the segment's scale and strong competitive positioning. This growth was achieved while maintaining strategic investments in advertising and promotion (A&P) to support the company's brand portfolio.

Makeup
The Puig Makeup business segment primarily comprises the Charlotte Tilbury brand, with smaller makeup exercises in Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, Dries Van Noten, Byredo, and Christian Louboutin Beauté.
In 2024 Puig recorded net revenue of €763 million in the Makeup business segment, 16% of Puig's net revenue in the period, a decrease of (1.3)% on a reported and constant perimeter basis against 2023. The largest contributor to Makeup, Charlotte Tilbury, posted flat performance within the business segment compared to 2023. This was the result of several factors, including a tougher comparison against a strong 2023 performance further impacted by sell-in and sell-out dynamics including the anniversary effect of the sell-in pipeline into Ulta towards the end of 2023, and specific market dynamics in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. In addition, the business segment was also impacted by the voluntary withdrawal of select batches of Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray in December.
In spite of softer net revenue growth, Charlotte Tilbury maintained its #1 ranking in the UK and achieved a #3 ranking among prestige makeup brands for the full year in the US, having gained two positions versus 2023, and continued to drive innovation in the category with successful launches such as the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick and Exagger-Eyes Mascara.
The business segment was also impacted in 2024 by a weaker performance across some of Puig's smaller makeup offerings.
The Makeup operating margin decreased by (227) basis points. While the main contributor to the business segment, Charlotte Tilbury, retained healthy profitability levels. The performance of smaller makeup offerings, with limited scale and high A&P levels to support their growth, along with the impact of the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray withdrawal drove down the profitability of the business segment.

Skincare
While skincare remains Puig's smallest business segment, accounting for 11% of total net revenue, it reaches a broad and diverse customer base across multiple markets through a diversified portfolio of brands: Dermo-Cosmetics with Uriage and Apivita, Skincare Wellness with Kama Ayurveda and Loto del Sur, the prestige category with Charlotte Tilbury, and most recently, the Niche category with the acquisition of Dr. Barbara Sturm in early 2024. This addition strengthens Puig's commitment to building a diversified skincare portfolio, integrating an ultra-premium product offering.
Skincare remains Puig's fastest-growing business segment with revenues reaching €516 million, marking a 19.8% increase on a reported basis and +7.4% on a constant perimeter basis.
The Dermo-Cosmetics brands in this business segment continued to perform strongly with double digit growth. Charlotte Tilbury's skincare offering faced a tougher comparative base primarily due to the impact of meaningful launches, including Magic Water Cream, in the second half of 2023.
Growth in the Skincare business segment was driven by Dermo-Cosmetics, with the brand Uriage posting double-digit growth supplemented by the successful launch of Uriage Age Absolu Serum and the acceleration of the hero franchise, Xemose.
The skincare operating profit margin decreased by (293) basis points. The business segment is expanding and expected to benefit from operating leverage as a recent acquisition scale, particularly following the full integration of Dr. Barbara Sturm, which had a marginally dilutive impact as planned.

EMEA
EMEA remains Puig's largest market generating 55% of net revenue. In 2024, Puig net revenue was €2,620 million, marking a 12.8% increase on a reported basis and 11.6% on a constant perimeter basis. This growth was driven by strong performance across all business segments, fueled by sustained demand for Puig's brands and the success of new product launches.
As the birthplace of many Puig brands, Europe remains a key strategic market. Revenue growth in the region was led by the UK, Spain, France and Germany which continue to rank among Puig's top 10 markets.
Puig's strategic priorities in the region included strengthening Prestige brands, expanding the presence of Niche brands—such as the opening of new Byredo locations—increasing Makeup distribution, and growing its Skincare portfolio, reinforced by the acquisition of Dr. Barbara Sturm.
In 2024, Puig outpaced market growth, gaining market share in EMEA for the fourth consecutive year. The company reinforced its leadership in the selective fragrance segment, where it estimates a 12%16 market share in Europe. The largest brand in our Makeup business segment, Charlotte Tilbury, maintained its #1 ranking in the UK prestige makeup market.
Other strategic investments, such as the opening of the new Puig Tower in Barcelona, which houses an Innovation Center, and the expansion of the London offices, have further enhanced the company's operational capabilities. These developments reflect Puig's broader commitment to enhance its presence in EMEA, remaining well-positioned to capitalize on regional growth opportunities
Growth continued in the Middle East thanks to the continued performance of Prestige fragrances and the significant evolution that was seen in Niche fragrances.

The Americas
The Americas generated €1,715 million net revenue in 2024, reflecting an 11.1% increase on a reported basis and 9.5% growth at constant perimeter compared to the same period in 2023, fueled by sustained strong momentum in fragrances. The region accounted for 36% of Puig's total net revenue, driven by its three key markets: the US, Brazil, and Mexico— all of which ranked among the company's top 10 global markets.
In the Americas, the US is the country market that contributes the most net revenue to Puig, and where Puig experienced significant growth in 2024. In the selective fragrance market, we estimate that it achieved 8.5%17 of the market share. Fragrance remains the largest business segment in the region.
Good Girl Carolina Herrera achieved the significant milestone of becoming the #1 feminine fragrance line in the US and globally in 2024. Charlotte Tilbury achieved the #3 ranking among prestige makeup brands in the US, having gained two positions versus 2023.
In Latin America, Fragrance remained the largest business segment, with Brazil, Mexico, and Chile as the top markets by net revenue. Puig continued to maintain its leadership position in the region although the market saw increasing competition in these geographies this year. Performance was also negatively impacted due to fluctuations in foreign exchange.
Growth also benefited from a positive impact of 3.1% due to a hyperinflation adjustment for the Argentine peso, which provided a favorable comparison versus 2023, when the impact was negative.
Puig remains focused on expanding its footprint in the Americas, evidenced by the opening of new US offices in the Rockefeller Center in New York.

Olfactory Technological Innovation
In 2024, Puig strengthened its leadership in olfactory innovation with ScentXP, its first spin-off dedicated to enhancing fragrance experiences. By integrating advanced olfactory technologies, including Wikiparfum and AirParfum, ScentXP supports consumers in making informed fragrance choices while preventing olfactory fatigue.
A key milestone was the launch of the Brand Portal, a digital platform that enables brands to manage product data within Puig's ecosystem, ensuring consistent representation across retail partnerships. This initiative promotes open innovation, enhances visibility, and fosters consumer trust while improving collaboration between brands and retailers.
ScentXP's portfolio includes Wikiparfum, an extensive fragrance database, and the Fragrance Library API, which helps brands visualize scent profiles for ecommerce. The Profiler, an AI-powered recommendation engine, personalizes scent suggestions, improving engagement and conversion rates.
Expanding its digital reach, ScentXP introduced ScentBot, a virtual assistant for online perfumeries, guiding consumers in fragrance selection while collecting insights on shopping behavior. By the end of 2024, these tools were integrated into thousands of perfumeries via Shopify and other platforms.
In physical retail, EAN Nose provided QR-based fragrance information and staff training support, while AirParfum, Puig's patented sampling technology, expanded in luxury retail and fragrance houses. It also played a key role in Scent & the Art of the Pre-Raphaelites at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts of Birmingham and the Glenmorangie Wonder Machine experience at London Heathrow Airport. Beyond beauty, AirParfum entered final clinical trials for early detection of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
By year-end, ScentXP operated in more than 50 countries, reaching 10.5 million users and deploying 300+ category sensors. It delivered 60 million personalized recommendations, reflecting its deep understanding of global fragrance preferences.
ScentXP's innovation has been widely recognized, earning numerous awards in the past four years, including six in 2024. Key accolades include Best Technology Startup for ScentXP and Best Digital Initiative for Wikiparfum's TikTok filters at the Beauty Cluster 2024. AirParfum's installation at Museo Nacional del Prado received the Gold-Innovation and Transforming Ideas Best International Award at the Buho Awards, while the Mobile World Congress experience '¿A qué huele Barcelona?' was honored at Best'n Beauty and the Mobile World Capital Awards.
These milestones underscore Puig's ongoing efforts to advance olfactory technology while delivering exceptional consumer experiences worldwide.

Corporate Governance


The Role of the Administrative, Management and Supervisory Bodies
Over the years, Puig has established a governance structure aligned with the highest applicable standards, reflecting its commitment to ethics and ESG principles.
The company's leadership team brings together members of the third generation of the founding family and executives, united by a long-term vision centered on innovation, creativity, and sustainability. At the highest level, the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing company management, approving general policies and strategies, and ensuring sound corporate governance. Comprising proprietary, independent, and executive directors, the Board maintains a balanced and diverse leadership structure.
In 2024, Puig published its first Annual Corporate Governance Report, offering a comprehensive overview of its governance framework and operations. The report provides detailed insights into:
- Board Composition and Diversity An analysis of the structure and representation within the Board of Directors and its Committees. (Refer to Sections C.1.2, C.1.3, C.1.14, C.2.1 and C.2.2 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report.).
- Roles and Responsibilities of the Board and its Committees Including oversight functions over the processes, controls,and procedures to manage the material IROs and the mandate of the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee. (Refer to Sections C.1.2, C.1.3, C.2.1, E.1, E.2, and E.3 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report.)
This milestone underscores Puig's ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and best-in-class governance practices.
Board of Directors Training and Access to Expertise
In accordance with Articles 39, 40, and 41 of the Board of Directors' Regulations, the selection process for Board members prioritizes the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience required for their roles. For this purpose, as part of the selection procedure set forth in the Selection and Diversity Policy of the Board of Directors of Puig, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee shall draw up a skills matrix of the Board of Directors that defines the skills and knowledge of the candidates, and that helps the Appointments and Remuneration Committee to define the functions that should correspond to each position, as well as the skills, knowledge and experience most appropriate for the Board of Directors. Notably, over 60% of the current Board members have received specialized training in ESG principles. Puig will evaluate whether the ESG training plan requires modifications, based on the conclusions of the latest Double Materiality Assessment and the capabilities of the board members.
Additionally, as outlined in these Articles, both the Board of Directors and its Committees may consult external experts whenever necessary to enhance decision-making and governance effectiveness.

Employee representation
Puig's administrative, management, and supervisory bodies do not include employee representation. While certain European governance models require union representation at the board level, this is neither a legal obligation nor a common market practice in Spain. However, Puig remains committed to open dialogue with employees and their representatives, ensuring their voices are heard through established engagement and consultation mechanisms. More information on this topic can be found in the chapter Our People, section Processes for Engaging and Developing Our People.

Puig Core Corporate Policies
A key responsibility of the Board of Directors is the approval of policies that define Puig's commitments and guiding principles, ensuring a strong foundation for ethical conduct, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
At the core of Puig's regulatory framework is its Ethical Code, which establishes the company's values, ethical commitments, and legal obligations. Building upon this foundation, the Core Corporate Policies, approved by the Board, outline the fundamental principles shaping Puig's approach to governance, sustainability, and compliance.
To ensure clarity and consistency, these policies provide specific directives for key operational areas, reinforcing transparency and accountability across the organization. This structured hierarchy is governed by the Policy on Policies, which standardizes policy development and implementation throughout Puig.
Scope of Application
Puig's internal regulations apply across all entities within the company. Specifically, they cover Puig Brands, S.A., its subsidiaries, and any future entities in which Puig Brands, S.A. holds or may hold direct or indirect control, in accordance with Article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code. These regulations extend to all employees within these entities. Additionally, the Ethical Code and the Sustainable Sourcing Policy apply to third parties and business partners.

Sustainability Matters Addressed by the Board of Directors
The Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee, a specialized committee of the Board of Directors, oversee Puig's sustainability strategy and ESG commitments. The Committee is composed of the Chairman and CEO, the Vice Chairman, and three additional independent Board members. Meeting quarterly, it reviews progress on the Puig 2030 ESG Agenda, while also assessing the company's material dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate and nature.
The CSO's participation is key, bringing expertise in sustainability, a holistic perspective for evaluating performance, and a strong focus on stakeholder alignment. As a representative of Puig's sustainability efforts, the CSO ensures that key concerns are addressed and integrated into the company's strategic decision-making.
To strengthen Puig's approach to climate and nature-related risks and opportunities, the CSO leads an annual taskforce dedicated to these topics. This taskforce operates within the frameworks of IFRS S2 and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and includes experts from markets, finance, R&D, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, facilities, and risk management. Its primary role is to conduct in-depth assessments of climate and nature-related risks and opportunities, with an annual review of findings.
The taskforce's conclusions are presented to both the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee and the ESG Team, ensuring that the Board of Directors and senior management receive precise, data-driven insights to inform strategic decisions that enhance Puig's sustainability and resilience to climate change.
The ESG Team, composed of senior managers with sustainability-related responsibilities, is led by the CSO and meets monthly to oversee the execution of Puig's ESG initiatives.
Additionally, climate and nature-related risks are integrated into the "ESG risk" which is part of Puig's corporate risk map. Consequently, climate and naturerelated risks result integrated into the organization's overall risk management which is oversee by the Audit and Compliance Committee.
For more details on the Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities addressed by the Board of Directors during the reporting year, refer to Section E.5 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

Integration of Sustainability-related Performance in Incentive Schemes
The Annual Director's Remuneration Report is a key document that provides transparency on Puig' Directors' compensation policies by detailing the company's compensation framework for executive directors and Board members. It outlines how remuneration structures are designed to align with Puig's broader business objectives, including financial performance and sustainability commitments.
By linking compensation to ESG performance, Puig ensures that its leaders are both personally and financially accountable for driving progress toward key sustainability goals. This alignment strengthens the company's long-term commitment to responsible business practices.
The full details of Puig's ESG-linked and climate related remuneration policies can be found in the Annual Directors' Remuneration Report, specifically in the following sections:
- Incentive schemes applicable in 2024 (Section 4.A).
- Incentive schemes applicable in 2025 (Section 3.A).
- Governance and decision-making processes for remuneration (Section 5.A).
While the Annual Directors' Remuneration Report exclusively covers the compensation of executive and non-executive Board members, it is important to note that the weight of ESG objectives in both short-term and long-term incentive schemes applies equally to all senior management members.

Statement on Due Diligence
Puig is still developing a Human Rights Due Diligence process based on the OECD20 Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This initiative aims to integrate a structured due diligence framework into Puig's Human Rights Policy and Sustainable Sourcing Policy, reinforcing the company's efforts to ensure ethical and responsible business practices.
While Puig has not yet formalized a comprehensive due diligence process, the company has already implemented key mechanisms to monitor and mitigate ESG risks within its supply chain. These measures contribute to early risk identification, responsible sourcing, and continuous improvement in human rights and environmental protection.
To proactively monitor and mitigate ESG risks in its supply chain, Puig has established the following key processes and mechanisms:
- Commitments with respecting human rights and the environment expressed in the Puig Ethical Code.
- Puig Human Rights Policy.
- Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy.
- Reporting Channel to be used by any stakeholder to report a breach of the Ethical Code or regulations.
- Suppliers' evidence-based assessment on ESG through third-party ratings such as EcoVadis and Sedex.
- Suppliers' on-site audits on ESG matters, following the 4-Pillar Sedex SMETA methodology.
20 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Risk Management and Internal Controls over Sustainability Reporting
Puig's sustainability reporting relies on data from its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, specifically SAP. This information is collected and consolidated through the ESG Tool, an in-house platform designed to centralize all ESG-related data across the company.
The primary risk in this process is data inaccuracy. Additionally, there is a risk of data inconsistency, as information is gathered from multiple sources that may not always align, leading to potential discrepancies. Another key risk is the dependency on estimated data for certain ESG metrics, which can introduce uncertainty and potential misrepresentation.
To mitigate risks, Puig has implemented control mechanisms within its ERP systems, complemented by a monthly data review process to identify and correct potential calculation errors. Puig also conducts an annual assessment of the percentage of estimated data and continue gathering additional information to reduce this percentage over time.
Currently, no formal prioritization of risks has been established; instead, Puig's approach focuses on mitigating all identified risks equally to ensure the reliability of sustainability reporting.
When deviations are detected, the calculation methodologies, estimations, and processes within the ESG Tool are reviewed and refined. Any significant findings are reported during ESG Team meetings, led by the CSO.
Furthermore, Puig's Internal Audit team is actively working on further developing the internal control framework to strengthen risk management over sustainability reporting.
5 Double Materiality Analysis and Sustainability

Sustainability Matters Related to the Strategy
Puig sustainability structure is not aligned with specific product categories or business segments but is embedded within a holistic company vision. Due to this holistic approach Puig doesn't relate its products to its sustainability related goals. Sustainability is integrated transversally across all areas of activity, ensuring alignment with Puig's long-term strategy and corporate values.
The most relevant strategic paths that relate to sustainability aspects are:
- The development of products that promote circularity in all its aspects while responding to new consumer demands;
- The monitoring of the value chain to ensure ESG compliance;
- The growth in a sustainable aligned culture;
- And the optimization of water management, recognizing its critical role as Puig depends on this resource not only for industrial processes but also as a relevant ingredient of part of its portfolio.
Puig's inputs include raw materials like essential oils, alcohols, and specialty chemicals sourced from global suppliers. The company ensures quality and sustainability through supplier assessments and collaborations. Inputs are secured via long-term agreements emphasizing ethical sourcing and innovation, with a focus on reducing environmental impact and aligning with ESG goals.
Puig's output includes premium beauty products across fragrances, makeup, and skincare, delivering quality and innovation. Outcomes benefit customers with enhanced experiences, investors with sustained growth, and stakeholders with strengthened ESG commitments, aligning with sustainability goals and fostering long-term value creation across its value chain.
Puig positions itself as an integrator of its value chain, ensuring quality and innovation throughout. The company's upstream value chain includes sourcing raw materials like essential oils and alcohols through global suppliers, emphasizing sustainability. The company's downstream value chain spans production, distribution, retail, and e-commerce channels, delivering premium beauty products to customers worldwide.
Puig's strategy and objectives for climate change are reflected in the 2030 ESG Agenda. Targets set in this Agenda have been designed to control risks and to enhance opportunities detected during the risk and opportunity assessment exercise.
The company has a budget set to finance projects and activities to achieve these targets. The budget is revised and compared with the level of achievement of each target set in the 2030 ESG Agenda. This exercise is done annually to ensure the financial planning of the company is aligned with the status of compliance of the targets.

Double Materiality
Interests and Views of Stakeholders
Puig's key stakeholders include employees, suppliers, customers, investors, local communities, NGOs, environmental agencies, and public authorities.
To align with global tendencies, Puig has developed a tight stakeholder engagement, which encompasses a systematic process aimed at identifying and addressing the interests of the diverse groups. The purpose of Puig's stakeholder engagement is to understand diverse perspectives on sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities, ensuring alignment with ESG goals, enhancing decision-making processes, and fostering collaboration to drive sustainable value creation across its business model and value chain.
Engagement occurs regularly, with each group's input collected through tailored mechanisms, including surveys, workshops, and direct consultations. These efforts are structured to integrate stakeholder perspectives into business strategy and materiality assessments, ensuring outcomes are effectively addressed and incorporated into decision-making processes.
Outcomes of Puig's stakeholder engagement are integrated into materiality assessments and sustainability strategies, directly influencing business decisions, ESG priorities, and operational adjustments to address identified impacts, risks, and opportunities, fostering alignment with stakeholder expectations and corporate objectives.
Some years ago, Puig amended its strategy to prioritize sustainability by integrating ESG goals, enhancing supply chain transparency, and innovating sustainable products. Adjustments include aligning business operations with net-zero targets, expanding sustainable practices across value chains, and embedding stakeholder feedback into strategic decisions.
In the near future, Puig plans to strengthen its ESG initiatives by integrating sustainability criteria into all operations, enhancing supply chain transparency, and advancing stakeholder engagement processes. These steps are scheduled for implementation over the next three years, aligning with Puig 2030 ESG Agenda and net-zero goals.
Puig administrative, management, and supervisory bodies are regularly updated about stakeholder views gathered on materiality analysis, employee feedback or suppliers' assessments, among others. Different mechanisms are in place for this purpose.

Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IROs) and their Interaction with Strategy and Business Model
Puig's materiality assessment identified key material impacts across its business model, upstream and downstream value chains, and operations, closely linked to sustainability objectives.
Environmental impacts include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily driven by raw material sourcing, production processes, and transportation logistics. Biodiversity loss due to agricultural practices and resource consumption, particularly water and energy use, remains a significant concern, especially in regions where natural resource depletion threatens ecosystems and local communities.
Social impacts focus on ensuring fair labor practices across the value chain, addressing key issues such as worker safety, fair wages, and the prevention of child and forced labor in supplier networks. Consumer safety is also a priority, with an emphasis on accurate product labeling and the responsible use of chemicals to safeguard end-users well-being.
These material impacts are most prevalent in Puig's upstream value chain, where raw materials such as essential oils, alcohols, and specialty chemicals are sourced, and in downstream activities, including product distribution, retail, and end-customer interaction. Within its own operations, Puig prioritizes improving energy efficiency and reducing waste throughout production processes.
The current effects of material impacts and risks include increased costs related to resource use, regulatory pressure on emissions, and reputational risks tied to labor practices. Anticipated future impacts include more stringent regulatory requirements, resource scarcity, and evolving consumer expectations for sustainable products, necessitating significant operational adjustments.
In response, Puig has strengthened its sustainability strategy, prioritizing ESG principles across operations and value chains. This includes investments in renewable energy, sustainable raw materials sourcing, and the development of eco-friendly products. For example, Puig has enhanced supply chain transparency, placing a strong emphasis on ethical sourcing to mitigate risks such as forced labor and biodiversity loss.
Additionally, Puig plans to align product development and operational processes with net-zero objectives, incorporating stakeholder insights to refine decision-making. Investments in innovation and technology aim to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. These initiatives are designed to future-proof Puig's business model, ensuring resilience and long-term value creation.
The material negative impacts that affect people or the environment may be contribution to climate change, impact in ecosystems, biodiversity and communities, availability of natural resources, working conditions in the value chain.

Conversely, the positive impacts expected to benefit people and the environment include fostering sustainable innovation that reduces environmental harm, promoting inclusive employment practices, and developing eco-friendly products.
Puig's material impacts are intrinsically connected to its strategy and business model, driven by its focus on global supply chains, premium product innovation, and ESG integration. Environmental impacts, such as GHG emissions and resource consumption, stem from production and logistics, while social impacts emerge from labor practices and consumer interactions within its value chain.
Material impacts are assessed across three-time horizons: short-term impacts related to operational resource use and labor practices, medium-term impacts from regulatory changes and consumer demand for sustainable products, and long-term impacts influenced by climate change and ecosystem degradation, affecting supply chains and business continuity.
These impacts span raw material sourcing, including essential oils and alcohols, manufacturing processes in owned and third-party facilities, and global logistics. Business relationships with suppliers, particularly in high-risk regions, and downstream distribution channels impacts labor practices, resource use, and GHG emissions.
As the double materiality analysis concluded in mid-December 2024, a quantitative financial evaluation had not yet been conducted by year-end.
Previously, Puig conducted a resilience analysis following IFRS S2/TCFD frameworks.
All Puig's impacts, risks, and opportunities related to GHG emissions, resource consumption, and labor practices are aligned with ESRS Disclosure Requirements.

Impacts, Risks and Opportunities Management
Description of the Process to Identify and Assess Material IROs
Puig conducted a comprehensive double materiality assessment in 2024 with the aim of aligning its reporting with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the derived European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
This process aims to identify, assess, prioritize, and monitor both potential and actual impacts on people and the environment, as well as risks and opportunities that could have a financial effect on the company. The assessment follows a systematic approach that is structured around four main phases: Understanding, Identification, Evaluation, and Definition. This approach is informed by Puig's internal risk management frameworks and considers specific activities, business relationships, geographies or other factors that have the potential to heighten the risk of adverse impact.
Puig's decision-making process is outlined in section Corporate Governance. Currently, Puig's process to identify, assess, and manage the IROs is not integrated into its overall risk management process. Nevertheless, Puig plans to perform this integration in the future. On the other hand, the integration of this process within Puig's overall management process is formalized through its Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee (more information can be found in the Corporate Governance chapter, Sustainability Matters Addressed by Board of Directors section).
Results and inputs from previous materiality assessments performed by Puig were considered in the "Understanding" phase of the current assessment process, but the methodology differs substantially. The differences are rooted in Puig's efforts to comply with the requirements of the CSRD and align the assessment with EFRAG's Materiality Assessment Implementation Guidance. This assessment will be revised on an annual basis.
The phases of the process are explained as follows.
Understanding
The objective of the "Understanding" phase was to obtain a holistic understanding of Puig's operations, products, and services across its business relationships, sustainability context, and stakeholders, as prescribed by the CSRD. This was done by conducting a benchmark analysis that involved reviewing regulatory developments and ESG prescribers, and analyzing the publically-available information of the sector's opinion leaders and Puig's key competitors.
Additionally, Puig's entire value chain was mapped, covering Upstream, Own Operations, and Downstream, across all Puig. Even so, transportation and logistics were considered at a company level. For the mapping of downstream operations, Puig's entire perimeter was taken into consideration.

The benchmark analysis and value chain mapping were used to gain a comprehensive understanding of entities within the reporting boundary, establish the scope for the assessment, and support the identification of sustainability IROs. In order to further refine the understanding of Puig's context and potential effects, all of its pertinent internal and external stakeholder groups were identified, along with their corresponding internal experts. This identification improves the understanding of the diverse relationships that Puig has with each stakeholder group and is a crucial step for the subsequent phases.
Identification
The objective of the "Identification" phase was to determine Puig's sustainability-related real and potential impacts (both positive and negative), as well as risks and opportunities, and its connection with the identified impacts. This entailed conducting extensive research and reviewing both internal and external resources. These resources included the GRI Sector Standard and the SASB Sector Standard such as Sector publications, UNEP FI's sector guide for Manufacturing, and other tools and resources developed for double materiality analyses.
Each of the relevant IROs identified for Puig were assigned different characteristics, including the part(s) of the value chain each IRO manifests within, with the aim of refining the scope of each IRO and ensuring a correct assessment. This produced a preliminary list of 113 IROs.
Evaluation
The objective of the "Evaluation" phase was to score the previously defined IROs. The first step entailed defining an evaluation methodology for both impact and financial materiality, based on ESRS factors and Puig's current risk assessment methodologies. This evaluation methodology was defined and validated by relevant stakeholders within Puig, acting as a proxy for external stakeholders, and considers the following criteria for impact and financial materiality:
- Impact materiality: The importance of an impact is determined by its severity, likelihood, and time horizon. The severity of a negative impact is determined by its scope, scale, and irremediability. The severity of a positive impact is determined by its scope and scale. If a negative impact is related to human rights, likelihood is determined by taking into consideration the result of the impact's severity.
- Financial materiality: The importance of a risk or opportunity is determined by its magnitude, likelihood, and time horizon. The parameters included in the evaluation of the "magnitude" of a potential risk or opportunity were determined by referencing Puig's existing risk methodologies.
Each IRO was assigned to an internal expert from each of the three business units and Corporate. Each IRO was consequently evaluated by its corresponding owner and the various scores were aggregated to produce the final result per IRO.

Definition
The objective of the "Definition" phase was to consolidate the results obtained in the previous phases and prioritize IROs according to their evaluation. Once the IROs had been evaluated, Puig determined its materiality thresholds for both impact and financial materiality. These materiality thresholds produced a final list of 38 material IROs. Based on the assessment, Puig concluded that a total of 75 IROs are not material, and accordingly, has not included Disclosure Requirements (DR) from the corresponding Topical Standards. Puig has gauged the materiality of information to be disclosed concerning its identified IROs through a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors, incorporating thresholds and criteria outlined in ESRS 1 section 3.2 Material matters and materiality of information.
Disclosure Requirements in ESRS covered by the undertaking's Consolidated Non-financial Information Statement and Sustainability Information
In the Annex, section "Disclosure Requirements in ESRS covered by the undertaking's Consolidated Non-Financial Information Statement and Sustainability Information," a list of the disclosure requirements fulfilled in the preparation of this Consolidated NFIS and Sustainability Information is reported, as a result of the Double Materiality Analysis conducted by the Group. Additionally, information is provided on the data points derived from other EU legislation included in Appendix B of the ESRS 2.
6 Environment

6.1 EU Green Taxonomy

Current Regulatory Framework
In June 2020, the European Commission released the Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/85221 in the Official Journal of the European Union, which lays the groundwork for the EU taxonomy. This regulation outlines the criteria an economic activity must fulfil to be deemed environmentally sustainable:
- Substantially contribute to one or more of the six environmental goals, which include climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
- Not to cause significant harm to any of the environmental objectives.
- Be carried out in accordance with minimum social safeguards.
The EU Taxonomy is a crucial component of the European Green Deal, aimed at crafting a strategy for sustainable economic growth and achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The framework is designed to establish conditions that facilitate directing capital towards sustainable activities, shield investors from 'greenwashing,' and support companies in planning their transitions by offering clear and standardized language and definitions for activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable.
The Regulation is complemented by Delegated Acts, which specify the rules for the content and presentation of the information to be disclosed:
- Delegated Act (EU) 2021/213922 (hereinafter referred to as the Climate Delegated Act), states:
- The technical selection criteria that determine the conditions for an economic activity to make a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation or adaptation23 .
- The technical selection criteria for ensuring that economic activities do not cause significant harm to other environmental objectives.
This regulation was extended and amended by Delegated Acts (EU) 2022/1214 and 2023/248524, with the inclusion of additional activities for the two climate objectives.

23 On 9 March 2022, the Commission adopted a Complementary Climate Act, including, under strict conditions, specific nuclear and gas activities in the list of economic activities covered by the EU Taxonomy.
24 Commission Delegated Act (EU) 2023/ 2485 of 27 June 2023 supplementing Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2139 establishing the technical selection criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity is deemed to make a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation or adaptation thereto and for determining whether that economic activity causes significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives (EUROPE.eu).

- Delegated Act (EU) 2021/217825 (hereinafter referred to as the Disclosure Delegated Act), specifies the content and presentation of the information to be disclosed by companies subject to this regulation. Pursuant to Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation, non-financial companies to which the European taxonomy applies must disclose the following information specified in Annex I of the Disclosure Delegated Act:
- The proportion of net turnover derived from products or services, including intangibles, associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic activities.
- The capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) related to assets or processes associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic activities.
- Information to accompany and detail the key performance indicators, including methodology and justification
Furthermore, starting January 1, 2023, companies that fall under the EU Regulation are required to report the percentage of eligible economic activities that comply with the regulations, based on their sales or turnover, as well as their capital expenditures (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx)
- Delegated Act (EU) 2023/248626 (hereinafter referred to as the Environmental Delegated Act) supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852, establishes the four remaining environmental objectives of the Environmental Taxonomy Regulation:
- Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
- Transition to a circular economy
- Pollution prevention and control
- Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems
Moreover, beginning January 1, 2024, companies governed by the Regulation are required to disclose the percentage of their economic activities that qualify under these four new targets, along with the relevant financial indicators.
The European Commission has also published a number of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the interpretation and implementation of certain legal provisions of the Taxonomy, with the aim of reducing uncertainty arising from the current regulatory framework.

Scope of the Report
According to the current regulation, this is the first year that Puig has to disclose Taxonomy information. In the analysis carried out to establish eligibility and alignment under the criteria of the European Commission for the EU Green Taxonomy, all the companies within the consolidation scope of Puig have been considered (listed in Annex I. Consolidation scope of the Consolidated Annual Accounts). Puig has established the necessary control measures to ensure the correct application of consolidation accounting principles and to prevent double accounting for all financial indicators.
Assessment Methodology
To evaluate the contribution to each objective outlined by the Taxonomy, Puig used the following approach:
-
- Examined activities performed by the companies within the company that potentially align with the descriptions of Taxonomy activities listed in Annexes I and II of the Climate Delegated Act and Annexes I to IV of the Environmental Delegated Act and their correlation with turnover, CapEx, and OpEx.
-
- For all activities deemed eligible, Puig assessed their compliance with the following:
- Technical selection criteria for substantial contribution.
- 'Do No Significant Harm' (DNSH) criteria concerning other environmental objectives.
- Adherence to minimum social safeguards.
-
- Calculating the indicators and outcomes based on the findings from steps 1 and 2.
Definitions
Taxonomy-eligible economic activity means an economic activity that is described in the delegated acts (Climate Delegated Act and the Environmental Delegated Act) supplementing the Taxonomy Regulation, irrespective of whether that economic activity meets any or all of the technical screening criteria (TSC) laid down in those delegated acts.
Taxonomy non-eligible economic activity means any economic activity that is not described in the delegated acts supplementing the Taxonomy Regulation.
An economic activity is Taxonomy-aligned where it complies with the TSC as defined in the Climate Delegated Act and is carried out in compliance with the minimum safeguards regarding human and consumer rights, anti-corruption and bribery, taxation and fair competition. To meet the TSC, an economic activity contributes substantially to one or more environmental objectives, while not doing significant harm (DNSH) to any of the other environmental objectives.


Puig's Eligibility
Eligibility Analysis
The first step in this process consisted of identifying and classifying its activities and lines of business to ascertain whether or not they are eligible under the Taxonomy. The eligible activities are those described in the Annexes of the Taxonomy Delegated Acts (Climate Delegated Act 2021/2139, and its subsequent amendments, in the case of the two objectives of the Climate Taxonomy; and Delegated Act 2023/2486, for the remaining four objectives belonging to the Environmental Taxonomy), due to their potential contribution to one of the six environmental objectives, whether through a description of the activity or through a link with the NACE codes.
Regarding the eligibility assessment, Puig conducted a thorough analysis to review and confirm the identification of activities performed by the different entities in the company, that potentially align with the Taxonomy and their correlation with turnover, CapEx and OpEx, as defined in section "Calculation of indicators and results". This analysis has been extended to the most detailed level of management within the scope of the different entities, considering specific elements such as contracts or projects.
After assessing the activities in accordance with the Taxonomy, it has been confirmed that Puig's overall primary activity is not currently included in the applicable regulatory framework. Despite this, there are other activities related to the company's operations that are included, as detailed below:
| Activities of the Taxonomy | Environmental goal | Eligible activities of Puig |
|---|---|---|
| 5.1 Construction, extension and operation of water collection, treatment and supply systems |

| 5.3 Preparation for re-use of end of-life products and product components |
Circular economy | Puig sells alcohol to be reused as raw material. |
Alignment Analysis
Following the eligibility analysis, a second assessment was conducted to determine whether the eligible activities can align with the Taxonomy. This includes a review and validation process to ensure compliance with technical screening criteria (substantial contributions to environmental objectives and adherence to the DNSH criteria) and minimum social safeguards.
Substantial Contribution
For each of the eligible activities previously described, an assessment was carried out of the technical screening to assess their possible alignment. Accordingly, below is a detailed breakdown of the analysis of compliance with the technical screening criteria for specific activities:
- Activity 7.4: the substantial contribution to climate change mitigation is fulfilled as the installation, maintenance, or repair of charging stations for electric vehicles is confirmed both in facilities and factories where this activity is applicable.
- Activity 7.5: the substantial contribution to climate change mitigation is fulfilled through the implementation of individual measures, such as temperature and humidity sensors, energy management systems, building automation, and lighting control systems.
- • Activity 7.6; the substantial contribution to climate change mitigation is fulfilled by through the installation, maintenance, and repair of photovoltaic solar systems and/or auxiliary technical equipment.
For the other activities, work is underway to gather the necessary information to determine compliance with the other requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation.

No Significant Harm Criteria (DNSH)
For the listed economic activities above, where substantial contribution is demonstrated, Puig further analyze the DNSH criteria.
To review the requirement of not causing significant harm to other environmental objectives, it is necessary to assess climate change vulnerabilities and risks for all taxonomic activities identified for the whole organization. This assessment should align with the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria on adaptation to climate change, as specified in Appendix A of the Delegated Taxonomy Acts.
Based on this, Puig has developed a report assessing physical climate vulnerabilities and risks, using the most advanced and detailed climate projections available for future scenarios. Nevertheless, an adaptation plan and the implementation of measures are still required to fully align the company's activities with these criteria. In this regard, Puig is developing mechanisms to fulfil the remaining Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) requirements specific to each activity.
Minimum Social Safeguards
The last step, as part of the alignment assessment is to check the compliance of Puig with the minimum safeguards (bribery and corruption, fair competition, taxation and human rights) as prescribed by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the principles and rights set out in the International Labor Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the International Bill of Human Rights.
Puig has established appropriate mechanisms, policies, and procedures in areas such as anti-corruption and bribery, responsible taxation, and fair competition. The company has implemented compliance programs and internal controls to eradicate corruption and bribery, along with tax risk management elements to ensure regulatory compliance. Additionally, Puig promotes awareness and sensitization among employees regarding competition laws to support ethical business management. Neither the company nor its directors have been convicted of corruption, tax evasion, or violations of competition laws. Further information regarding this topic can be found in chapter G1.
In the area of human rights, neither the company nor its directors have been convicted of human rights violations. Puig has a Human Rights Policy, but it is still developing a Human Rights Due Diligence process based on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to align its policy with this due diligence framework.
As a consequence of not meeting the full minimum safeguards on human rights, alignment with EU Taxonomy is not met. However, as Puig is working on the implementation of the Taxonomy requirements in its projects, actions, and measures in the coming years, the percentage of alignment of the company's activities is expected to increase.

Calculation of Indicators and Results
Having assessed the eligibility and alignment of the activities identified, the next step was to calculate the related indicators (turnover, CapEx and OpEx) for each of them, as established by Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation.
The Consolidated Annual Accounts, prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, establish the foundation for determining these indicators. This process also follows the provisions set out in Annex I of Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2178, as amended by Delegated Act (EU) 2023/2486 and Delegated Act (EU) 2022/1214 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Article 8 Delegated Act'), for each economic activity concerning its eligibility and alignment, as applicable.
Total Turnover
Total revenue is aligned with the net revenues reported in Puig's Consolidated Income Statement (also refers to notes 6. Segment reporting , 7. Geographical reporting and 8. Net revenues in the Consolidated Annual Accounts), as defined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
The turnover KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible revenue (numerator) divided by total revenue (denominator).
Capital expenditures (CapEx)
Total CAPEX is aligned with additions to fixed assets (including finance leases) and intangible assets. Additions resulting from business combinations are also included. Goodwill is not included in CapEx as it is not defined as an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38. For further details, please refer to notes 15. Material assets, 16. Intangible assets movement and 17.1 Right of use in the Consolidated Annual Accounts.
The CapEx KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible CapEx (numerator) divided by total CapEx (denominator).
Operating expenses (OpEx)
The EU Taxonomy OpEx includes direct non-capitalised costs that relate to research and development (R&D), building renovation measures, short-term leases, maintenance and repairs, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment. As EU Taxonomy OpEx has a different definition than financial reporting OpEx, the EU Taxonomy OpEx cannot be derived from the Consolidated Annual Accounts.
The OpEx KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible OpEx (numerator) divided by total OpEx (denominator).

In accordance with mentioned Annex I of Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2178, point 1.1.3., Puig has determined that its taxonomic operational expenditure (OpEx) is not material to its business model due to how facilities, factories and stores are operated. As a result, the company is applying an exemption allowed under the regulation:
- Puig is not required to calculate the numerator of the OpEx Key Performance Indicator (KPI), which is used to measure the proportion of environmentally sustainable activities. Instead, they disclose this numerator as zero27, indicating that they consider there are no significant taxonomical operational expenditures contributing to the environmental objectives outlined by the taxonomy.
- Puig still needs to disclose the total value of the OpEx denominator. This denominator represents the total operational expenditure of the company, which provides context to the KPI by indicating the overall size of the expenditure being considered.
27 Activities whose CapEx and Turnover are zero and have been identified as eligible are so because they have a linked taxonomic OpEx, even though it has been determined to be non-material.

6.2 Climate Change


Disclosure related to Climate Change
Transition Plan for Climate Change Mitigation
As of the end of 2024, Puig has not yet formalized a Climate Transition Plan for climate change mitigation. However, the company has the objective of defining this plan in 2025, building on its existing targets, risk assessments, and actions launched, ensuring a structured approach to climate adaptation and mitigation.
Puig's key current climate commitments align with global efforts to fight against climate change:
- Contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5ºC by 2030, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
- Achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
These emission-reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Puig is not excluded from EU Paris-aligned benchmark.
Material IROs and their Interaction with Strategy and Business Model
Puig has implemented different methodologies to identify climate-related risks. During the double materiality analysis carried out in 2024, two material climaterelated risks were identified, both transitional, one negative impact and two positive, and one opportunity:
- Risks:
- Disruptions to the energy supply can have a material financial impact on operations, such as increased operating costs, lost revenue, and/or reputational harm, particularly for Puig's E-Commerce business that relies heavily on data centers for critical hardware and IT infrastructure.
- Climate change and dwindling natural resources may cause cost fluctuations for key products and services required by suppliers and distributors, resulting in a negative financial impact on Puig.
- Positive Impacts:
- Puig's proactive adjustment to current and anticipated climate changerelated risks, and its contribution to the resilience of societies and economies, can lead to a positive impact on the transition to a low-carbon economy.
- By establishing carbon emission targets, modifying business models, and investing in renewable energy and technologies to remove CO2, Puig can lower its emissions and create a positive impact on climate change mitigation.

- Negative Impacts:
- The fuel consumption of transportation and logistics operators leads to negative environmental impacts.
- The act of clearing forests or grasslands by businesses leads to the release of large amounts of CO2 as well as disrupts the natural carbon sink function of these ecosystems, resulting in negative impacts to the environment.
- Opportunity:
- Investing in fuel-efficient fleets and energy efficient technologies, in addition to improving overall energy efficiency and access to alternative energy sources, may incur short-term capital expenditures, but could meet growing demand for reducing emissions leading to increased market share as well as long-term operational savings, reduced cost volatility and reduced regulatory risks.
Resilience of Strategy and Business Model
Puig integrates climate risk and opportunity management into its global corporate risk management framework, ensuring long-term business resilience. The company follows a structured methodology to assess the potential impact of climate change on its business model, considering macroeconomic trends, energy consumption patterns, and technological developments.
The resilience analysis covers all operational locations, including factories, warehouses, offices, and stores, as well as upstream and downstream value chains, and utilizes exact geographic coordinates to assess risk at a locationspecific level.
Puig conducts yearly assessments based on IFRS S2 and previously TCFD recommendations, using climate forecasting models (e.g., SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5 from IIASA and IPCC) to detect and evaluate physical risks. The methodology also considers emerging regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms to assess transition risks and uses tools such as WWF Water Risk Filter, World Energy Outlook (WEO), NGFS scenarios, IIASA models, and the IEA Net-Zero scenario to evaluate vulnerabilities.
As part of the resilience analysis, Puig has estimated how the transition to a lower-carbon and resilient economy might affect its surrounding macroeconomic trends, energy consumption and mix, and technology deployment assumptions:
- Macroeconomic Trends: Economic policies focused on sustainability will encourage low-carbon operations. This shift will affect production and operational costs. Market premiumization shows a trend toward valuing ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility. Stricter environmental regulations will necessitate compliance with tougher carbon and environmental standards.
- Energy Consumption and Mix: Shift to renewable energy drives the investment in renewable energy (solar, biomass) and energy efficiency improvements across the value chain supported by advanced monitoring systems and enhanced infrastructures to achieve net-zero goals by 2050.

• Technology Deployment: Adoption of climate-resilient technologies, like GISbased climate risk assessments, advanced carbon footprint tracking, sustainable product innovation aligned with circular economy innovations, and digitalization of supply chains.
The resilience analysis exercise results in a clear and comprehensive disclosure of how Puig's strategy and business model would perform under different climate scenarios and over various time horizons. This disclosure proves the company is sufficiently prepared to manage the risks and capitalize on the opportunities associated with climate change.
This comprehensive approach ensures Puig can mitigate climate-related risks and capitalize on opportunities across short, medium, and long-term horizons. The scenarios used for the identification of climate-related risks are applicable to the identification of decarbonization levers.

Description of the Processes to Identify and Assess Material Climate-Related IROs
In addition to the process of identification of IROs explained in section Governance and the specific climate-change ones listed in the previous section, Puig conducts a yearly assessment following TCFD and IFRS S2 three-stage methodology to assess climate-related risks, and opportunities in its own operations:
-
- Risk and opportunity screening, using databases on regulations, climate trends, scenarios, and geographic factors to identify relevant risks and opportunities.
-
- Evaluation of the probability of occurrence and impact severity for each identified risk/opportunity. Incorporation of other variables such as exposure, vulnerability, and geographic localization.
-
- Action Plan integrating identified risks into Puig's corporate risk management framework for mitigation.
The scope of the resilience analysis included all Puig productions plants, warehouses, headquarters, offices and stores.
Time Horizons for the assessment
Once risks have been identified and located it is recommended to assess them across different time horizons, including both the short term and the medium to long term. This comprehensive approach allows for understanding both immediate and longer-term risks and ensures that organizations can make informed strategic decisions and develop effective risk management strategies within the context of climate change.
Puig assesses physical and transitional risks using high-emission climate scenarios (e.g., SSP5-8.5) to evaluate exposure across three-time horizons, described as follows:
- Short-term (0-5 years): The analysis of this time scenario allows Puig to make agile decisions, based on up-to-date and reliable data, to focus on concrete actions to address immediate risks and provides the flexibility to adapt to changing scenarios and stay at the forefront of managing climate challenges.
- Medium-term (6-10 years): This horizon allows Puig to conduct effective strategic planning, identify emerging trends and patterns, and promote longterm accountability in managing climate challenges. This helps the company to make informed decisions and implement effective measures to address climate risks both now and in the future.
- Long-term (10+ years): It allows Puig to assess long-term impacts, develop strategic plans and make informed decisions, comply with international guidelines and standards, and adapt to emerging trends. By considering the long-term future, the company can take effective action to address climate risks and build sustainable resilience.
Puig has not matched the climate scenarios used for the risk and opportunity assessment with the company's financial statements.
Climate-Related Physical Risks in Own Operations and Value Chain
Identified Physical Risks:
- Drought and Water Stress: May impact raw material availability (e.g., agricultural crops), increasing costs and disrupting supply chains. Water shortages at Puig's factories could lead to operational disruptions. Identified as short term.
- Heat Stress and Heat Waves: Manufacturing facilities in high-temperature regions face increased cooling costs and potential worker safety challenges. Identified as short term.
To assess exposure, Puig maps assets and supply chain nodes, overlaying geospatial data with climate projections, uses NUTS regional classification to assess risk levels in the EU and prioritizes high-risk locations in Asia and Europe for detailed assessments.
Climate-Related Transition Risks and Opportunities in Own Operations and Value Chain
Puig assesses transition risks using a qualitative and quantitative approach identifying regulatory, market, and technological transition events based on a 1.5°C-aligned scenario (e.g., IEA Net-Zero), applies probabilistic modeling to estimate risk severity and prioritizes risks requiring immediate action.
Identified Transition Risks:
- Customer Behavior Change derived from the shifting consumer preferences toward sustainable products, which could impact Puig's portfolio and profitability. Identified as short term.
- Transition to Low-Carbon Technologies may lead to high investment costs and potential technological obsolescence. Identified as short term.
- Increased Cost of Raw Materials derived from climate regulations and environmental degradation. Identified as medium term.
Identified Opportunities:
- Market Access for Sustainable Products: Consumer willingness to pay a premium for sustainable goods.
- Supplier Collaboration and Renewable Energy Initiatives: Potential for cost reductions and supply chain resilience.
- Water Efficiency and Reduced Withdrawal: Lower operational costs and compliance with strict EU environmental laws.
Puig evaluates these transition risks and opportunities across the three-time horizons to ensure strategic decision-making aligns with climate-related trends.

Puig has identified specific assets and activities that are exposed to transition risks associated with regulatory, market, and technological changes:
- Production facilities: Facilities in Spain and France are exposed to risks linked to stricter carbon pricing and emission reduction mandates under EU regulations. The factory in Tamil Nadu faces potential risks from shifts in energy policy and resource pricing, such as carbon taxes or energy transition incentives.
- Supply chain and raw material sourcing: Dependency on regions with significant resource extraction activities (Asia and South America) poses risks from tightening sustainability regulations and market demand for eco-certified materials. Sourcing of natural ingredients may include transition risks associated to the increase in costs or restrictions due to sustainable sourcing requirements.
- Logistics and Distribution: Transition risks related to global transport networks include rising fuel costs and regulatory changes promoting low-emission transportation.
- Energy-Intensive Processes: High-energy activities across manufacturing sites are particularly vulnerable to carbon pricing mechanisms and the demand for renewable energy integration.
The company has not identified assets or business activities that are incompatible or will need significant efforts to be compatible with a transition to a climate-neutral economy.
Climate Scenarios to Inform Risk Assessment
- IEA WEO 2023: Models energy cost risks from clean energy transitions.
- NGFS Scenarios: Estimates regulatory risks related to carbon pricing.
- Water Risk Filter: Assesses exposure to stricter water regulations.
- IEA Net-Zero: Evaluates decarbonization risks and technology adoption needs.
- IIASA Models: Identifies risks linked to resource scarcity (water, energy, raw materials).
Each scenario is applied across short, medium, and long-term horizons to ensure a comprehensive risk outlook.
In climate scenario SSP1-2.6 global warming is kept below 2 °C, the main objective of the Paris Agreement.

Methodology to Monitor Puig Impacts on Climate Change (GHG Emissions)
Puig conducts an annual GHG emissions assessment, using an internal carbon footprint calculation system to track multiple emission sources across its value chain.
To track GHG emissions the company uses internal data from owned facilities and sites and from the whole value chain. Internationally recognized emission factors are used for calculation. The company develops metrics to manage its exposure to climate change effectively, capitalize on emerging sustainability opportunities, and develop mitigation strategies.

Policies related to Climate Change
The Puig Climate Policy outlines the company's decarbonization strategy for the coming years. It is built around the two core company commitments:
- Contributing to limiting global temperature rise to 1.5ºC by 2030, in alignment with the Paris Agreement.
- Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The policy covers four key areas:
- Climate Change Adaptation: Annual evaluation of physical and transition risks across Puig's operations and supply chain. This includes assessing potential hazards such as heat stress and extreme weather events using GIS-based climate scenario analysis aligned with IPCC guidelines.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduction of energy consumption through operational optimization and investment in energy-efficient technologies, including more efficient manufacturing processes.
- Renewable Energy Deployment: Prioritization of renewable energy sources, with a particular focus on production plants.
- Climate change mitigation: Alignment of the company's activities and value chain with SBTi-approved emission-reduction targets.


Actions and Resources related to Climate Change
In 2024, Puig implemented several initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change, including:
- Engagement with suppliers towards the decarbonization of the company's supply chain. In 2024, Puig partnered with its main glass supplier and invested in a new electric glass kiln that will operate exclusively on renewable energy. The company has also partnered with its main alcohol supplier by supporting the environmental transition of the sugar beet industry (source of alcohol used by Puig). This is expected to reduce by up to 40% the carbon footprint of the alcohol used in Puig fragrances.
- Puig works in sharing its own objectives and engaging suppliers to contribute. In 2024 Apivita organized a workshop with 50 key suppliers and shared the brand's 2024 ESG milestones and objectives for 2025, 2030 and 2050, in order to generate their engagement and contribution.
- Transition to renewable energies:
- Increase the purchases of renewable energies.
- Increase in self-generated electricity: In 2024, Puig installed an in-house solar panel plant in Vacarisses factory.
- Increase in renewable energy use at all sites. The Chartres production plant consumes biomass energy thanks to a pipe connection to the generation plant located in the city while Vacarisses has its own biomass plant that generates energy for the plant.
- Increase water use efficiency. The "Dry Factory" project in Vacarisses, which is detailed in the Water section, is expected to reduce the water withdrawal of the site and consequently its GHG associated emissions.
- Development of the Responsible Materials Guidelines to set rules in terms of usage of materials for Puig products, based on their environmental impact and circular economy principles. These guidelines must be applied when making decisions on the materials to be used in products (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Circular Economy section).
- Collaboration in offset projects. Puig has collaborated in two offset projects in 2024. One is located in Punjab (India) through the acquisition of carbon credits. In 2024, the company acquired certified carbon credits for more than 8,700 tCO2e. The project, classified as type IV according to the Oxford offset principles, combines trees and shrubs with crops or livestock, increasing biodiversity, soil health and enhancing farm productivity.

Puig has also supported an agroforestry project in the Colombian department of Vichada. This initiative combines reforestation and afforestation activities with biodiversity protection and ecosystem regeneration ultimately transforming degraded savannah lands into near-nature forests that produce high-quality hardwoods and enclose large amounts of carbon. Thanks to this project, Puig helped remove 1,212 tCO2e from the biosphere.
To extend its commitment to global decarbonization goals, in 2022 Puig invested in a company outside its value chain. LanzaTech Global, Inc. is a company that has developed a carbon recycling technology that transforms pollution into something valuable and useful at scale that directly replaces virgin fossil carbon in consumer goods and sustainable aviation fuel alike. One of the products that can be developed with this innovative solution is alcohol, an important raw material for Puig. In 2024, the homologation process for the alcohol produced in the plant located in Ghent (Belgium) started.
From 2022, the current base year for the complete carbon footprint calculation, Puig has reduced its GHG emissions by 7.6%, while the business has grown in the same period by 32%.
Puig is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from the baseline year 2022. Additionally, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and the services category by 25% within the same timeframe. The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
The implementation of Puig current climate mitigation actions and future transition plan relies on the availability and efficient allocation of a mix of internal and external resources.
Internally, Puig will need to allocate financial resources for investment in taxonomy-aligned CapEx and operational changes in the future, while leveraging existing human resources to integrate sustainability expertise across departments.
Access to external resources, such as access to finance at an affordable cost of capital, technology or specialized expertise, will be key to bridge the gap with internal capabilities.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.

Energy Consumption and Mix
A key target for energy consumption and its mix is the procurement and selfgeneration of renewable energy. Meeting Scope 1 and 2 reduction targets requires increasing the share of renewable energy, both through the purchase of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and by expanding self-generation capacity at strategic locations. These efforts also contribute to reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
In 2024, Puig generated 12.6% of its total energy consumption from its own solar and biomass plants.

The Uriage production plant in France consumes nuclear energy as a part of the electricity mix. As of the end of 2024, total nuclear energy consumed has been 2,484,505 KWh (67.4% over total). Nuclear energy consumption over total Puig is 7,02%. The company does not use energy from coal and coal products.
GHG Emissions Composition and Evolution
Puig monitors its GHG emissions and their sources throughout the year, conducting periodic reviews to compare emissions with forecasts and historical data.
The company calculates its full carbon footprint in alignment with the GHG Protocol methodology, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3. These calculations follow recognized standards, including the GHG Protocol, Accounting and Reporting Standard and UNE-EN-ISO 14064.
The carbon footprint assessment encompasses Puig's entire business. When primary data is unavailable, emissions are estimated using predefined internal indicators, leveraging historical data and economic metrics relevant to each category.

For the disclosure of emissions, Puig follows the organizational boundaries methodology described in GHG Protocol, aligned with the consolidation criteria of the annual accounts.
All emission factors are based on leading international standards, such as DEFRA Guidelines, EPA, SIMAPRO Equivalent 3, and CEDA V6, which are updated annually to ensure accuracy and relevance.

Puig's GHG inventory includes all Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, except for Category 11 (Use of Sold Products), which has been deemed non-material based on the nature of Puig's products. Category 11 emissions are primarily linked to water and fuel consumption during product use. Given Puig's portfolio, these emissions apply only to a small fraction of skincare products and fashion items.
For certain estimations, Puig applies a net revenue-based approach to ensure consistency in calculations.
Puig has not already formalized decarbonization levers.
The company does not participate in regulated emissions trading schemes.

Methodology for calculating Scope 2
Energy consumption calculation is done following one of these methodologies:
- Primary data directly from invoices (kWh).
- When estimating data:
- Production plants: comparing with similar reported units ratio over units produced.
- Offices, shops and warehouses: comparing with similar reported units ratio over number of employees.
- As a ratio over net revenues when former ones are not applicable.
Origin of Reported Data
| GHG emissions scope 3 data type for calculation (tCO2e) | 2024 | % Over Total |
|---|---|---|
| Primary data | 270,533 | 47.82 % |
| Secondary data | 217,872 | 38.51 % |
| Estimated data | 77,305 | 13.67 % |
| Total | 565,710 |
GHG Scope 2 Emissions: Market-based and Locationbased
Aligned with best practices, Puig calculates its Scope 2 emissions using both the location-based and market-based methodologies:
- The location-based methodology calculates emissions using regional or national grid emission factors, reflecting the local energy mix of each country.
- The market-based methodology accounts for emissions based on the specific electricity Puig voluntarily purchases, considering renewable energy contracts and instruments such as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Guarantees of Origin (GOs).
By applying both methodologies, Puig can better assess the impact of its renewable energy consumption and track progress toward reducing emissions.

| Scope 2 | 2023 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Location-based calculation | ||||
| Scope 2 GHG Emissions (tCO2e) | 4,035.00 | 4,014.00 | ||

GHG Removals and GHG Mitigation Projects Financed Through Carbon Credits
Puig does not develop carbon storage or removal projects within its own operations or value chain. Instead, the company collaborates on projects outside its value chain to support carbon removal efforts, but not in reduction ones.
In 2024, Puig invested in carbon credits from two VCS-approved carbon removal projects (type IV29), that means 10,000 tCO₂e :
1. Agroforestry Project – Punjab, India
- Integrates trees and shrubs with crops and livestock to enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and revitalize agriculture.
- Vintage year: 2020.
- Carbon removal contribution: 8,788 tCO₂e.
2. Agroforestry Project – Vichada, Colombia
- Combines reforestation and afforestation with biodiversity protection and ecosystem regeneration, restoring degraded savannah into near-natural forests that sequester carbon and produce high-quality hardwoods.
- Vintage year: 2019.
- Carbon removal contribution: 1,212 tCO₂e.
As of the close of 2024, Puig has not yet decided on the continuation of these projects. All previously acquired credits have been retired.
These carbon credits contribute to Puig's emission reduction targets. However, GHG reduction targets remain independent and do not rely on offsetting mechanisms.
29 According to the Oxford Offsetting Principles

Project Classification and Compliance
Both projects are:
- Classified as carbon removal with short-lived storage, in line with the Oxford Offsetting Principles.
- Based on biogenic sinks, meaning CO₂ removal is achieved through natural processes such as reforestation, afforestation, and ecosystem restoration.
- Verified under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
None of the projects:
- Were implemented within the EU.
- Qualify as a corresponding adjustment under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
Additionally, the company has made no public claims of GHG neutrality involving the use of carbon credits.
Puig has not yet defined projects to neutralize the residual GHG emissions. The future Climate Transition Plan will encompass this identification.
Internal Carbon Pricing
Puig has not put in place an internal carbon pricing scheme.
6.3 Pollution


Material IROs related to Pollution
During the double materiality analysis, Puig screened its site locations and business activities to identify actual and potential pollution-related IROs across its operations and value chain. Key methodologies included mapping the value chain (upstream, own operations, downstream), extensive benchmarking, and sector-specific research using standards like GRI and SASB. Tools and data sources included UNEP FI's manufacturing guidelines and internal ESG frameworks. Stakeholder consultations and internal expertise were integral to refine IROs identification and validate the findings. Communities have been considered through consultations with proxies.
Considering the business model of Puig and the analysis performed, Puig identified potential risks and opportunities connected to its own production plants related to pollution. No impacts were identified.
- Risk
- Regulatory developments, relating to pollution, emissions management, and substances of concern, can have a negative financial impact on the business, including increased manufacturing costs and reduced brand value.
- Opportunity
- Active management of air emissions / pollutants through technological process improvements or other strategies may result in improved financial performance (e.g. operational efficiencies) and enhanced brand value.
In terms of business activities, Puig identified potential pollution impact in manufacturing, raw material sourcing, transportation and logistics, and product use and disposal.

Policies related to Pollution
Puig Pollution Prevention Policy
The Puig Pollution Prevention Policy reflects how the company implements effective mechanisms for the proper prevention and control of pollution of air, water and soil that may arise from its activities. The main Puig commitments on air pollution included in the Policy are:
- Minimize the environmental impact of all its products.
- Minimize the pollution generated at its facilities.
- Engage with its supply chain to reduce air pollution.
- Collaborate on conservation of ecosystems.
As specified in the Policy, Puig is committed to implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) in all its factories and headquarters by certifying them with ISO 14001 by 2030. ISO certifications are based in the concept of continuous improvement through a process of identification, measurement, monitoring of the evolution, including aspects related to pollution.
Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy
Puig's Sustainable Sourcing Policy (SSP) sets clear expectations for suppliers to operate responsibly and integrate sustainability criteria across their operations and supply chains. The policy outlines specific requirements to ensure strong environmental performance, including measures to prevent pollution.
Under this policy, all suppliers are required to implement an Environmental Management System. Additionally, atmospheric emissions must be monitored, and treatment equipment regularly inspected to detect and prevent leaks or unintended releases.
Puig Ingredients Policy
The Puig Ingredients Policy exceeds regulatory requirements by prohibiting certain ingredients that may pose risks to safety, human health, or the environment. This commitment drives the substitution and minimization of substances of concern across Puig's products. The policy is continuously reviewed and updated by the Regulatory Affairs team, which gathers insights from sectoral organizations, clients, distributors, and regulatory bodies such as ECHA. Proposed modifications are developed by the team and ultimately approved by the Managing Director of Regulatory Affairs. The Regulatory Affairs team is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the policy across Puig's operations.

Substances of concern forbidden to be used in Puig products are: acrylates (ethyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate...), parabens, formaldehyde releasing agents, halogenated compounds, benzophenone-1, benzophenone-2, benzophenone-3, benzophenone-4, benzophenone-5, bha, octocrylene, kojic acid, arbutin and alpha-arbutin, cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, cyclomethicone, edta and its salts, ethanolamine, mineral oil and derivatives, o-phenylphenol, palm oil and derivatives of palm oil non-RSPO, phthalates, resorcinol, sodium lauryl sulphate, triclosán, triclocarban, triethanolamine and talc.
Puig does not use and generate substances of concern or very high concern.
Incidents and Risk Management
Puig develops its commitment to pollution prevention derived from incidents and emergency situation through specific protocols adapted to the characteristics of each production site. No global policy is deployed due to the specificities of every location.
Additionally, the company has implemented a comprehensive Emergency Management Procedure, defining the steps to control and mitigate risks across all facilities.
Each site maintains an Emergency Manual or Auto Protection Plan, detailing specific response protocols for various emergency scenarios.
To ensure readiness, regular emergency drills are conducted at all locations. Any deviations or non-conformities identified during these exercises are documented and addressed in line with the Actions Management Procedure.

Actions and Implementation Resources related to Pollution
Puig has established a comprehensive process to monitor and manage the environmental impact of its production plants. Monthly operational controls assess key areas, including energy consumption, pollution, water use, and waste management, ensuring optimal performance and prompt action on any potential issues.
Regarding pollution-related certifications, by the end of 2024, the following Puig sites are ISO 14001:2015 certified:
- Vacarisses production plant
- Alcalá de Henares production plant
- Chartres production plant
- Puig Tower-T1
- Puig Tower-T2
- Champs Elysées
- Washington Plaza
In 2024, the Kama Ayurveda production plant in Coimbatore (India), began the process of obtaining ISO 14001 certification, reinforcing Puig's focus on environmental management standards.
By 2030, all Puig production plants will operate on 100% renewable energy, which contributes to reducing air pollution (e.g. NOx, Sox and VOCx) (see Climate Change section, Environment).
Puig regularly assesses supplier performance through EcoVadis and Sedex, alongside on-site ESG audits following the Sedex SMETA methodology, which includes air pollution.
Efforts to reduce emissions from transportation include expanding the hybrid and electric vehicle fleet across all units, which prevents the emission of air pollutants connected to fossil fuels combustion. All new vehicle acquisitions meet these criteria, and the company continues to increase the availability of electric vehicle charging stations for employees, further reducing combustionrelated pollution.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.

Metrics and Targets related to Pollution
Material Pollution-related Impacts Targets
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones, if necessary. The already established targets are:30
| Target | Scope | Baseline value |
Baseline Year |
Target Year |
Progress 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2030 ESG Agenda targets | |||||
| (These targets do not refer to an initial value; the base year only identifies the start year of the plan) 90% natural origin ingredients as average of all formulas |
Fragrances and Skincare |
N/A | 2022 | 2030 | 85.26 % |
This target is aligned with the objective of the Puig Pollution Policy, which covers the management of the dependencies, and risks related to pollution, along its value chain and direct operations.
As pollution has a direct relationship with climate change, the company ensured, in later stages, that targets were aligned with the two global commitments of Puig: (1) contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5ºC by 2030; and (2) be net zero by 2050. The targets of the 2030 ESG Agenda allow Puig to reach the emission-reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
All objectives related to the reduction of the consumption of fossil fuels, such as efficiency in transportation and increase in renewable energy consumption, have a direct impact on preventing the emission of air pollutants (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Climate Change section). No specific reduction targets of loads are set. All pollution-related targets are voluntary, not mandatory.
As far as Puig does not use or generate substances of concern and substances of great concern, the company has not set related targets.
30 The methodology to define the targets has taken into account internal consultation with different departments of the company, the understanding of the business and historical data. If not explained, no science-based methodology has been followed.

6.4 Water and Marine Resources


Material IROs related to Water and Marine Resources
Puig's material IROs for water management were identified in the double materiality assessment conducted in Q4 2024. This evaluation mapped the whole company's value chain—covering upstream suppliers, own operations, and downstream activities—and incorporated sector benchmarks, regulatory analysis, and risk assessment frameworks. Water-related impacts, including marine resources, were assessed based on severity, likelihood, and geographic sensitivity.
The assessment was guided by three key hypotheses:
- Water scarcity risk Evaluating exposure to water-stressed regions.
- Value chain impact Assessing dependencies and pressures across the supply chain, including consultations with potential affected communities through proxies.
- Regulatory compliance Ensuring alignment with evolving water-related regulations.
Material IROs identified are:
- Risk
- The lack of water supply due to water scarcity in a region where a production plant is located can lead to the interruption of operations, resulting in a significant financial impact for the company.
- Negative Impact
- Excessive water withdrawal, or inadequate management of its use, especially in an area experiencing water scarcity, can further reduce water availability and increase competition for this essential resource, resulting in a negative impact on local communities and ecosystems.
Since Puig does not extract seawater, the assessment focuses exclusively on the management of freshwater.
To ensure inclusion and relevance, Puig conducted extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders within Puig, acting as a proxy for external stakeholders, considering those:
- Located in water-stressed regions, where resource availability is a key concern.
- Involved in Puig's value chain, particularly in areas where water use has a significant impact.
- Working in water-intensive production sites, providing direct insights into operational practices and risks.
Finally, marine resources were determined to be non-material for Puig's value chain.

Policies related to Water and Marine Resources
Puig Water Policy32
The Puig Water Policy serves as the primary framework for managing water across the company. It outlines how Puig addresses material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to this essential resource, which is both integral to daily operations and used as a raw material.
With some production plants located in water-stressed areas, Puig is committed to reducing water withdrawal—not only at these sites but across all its operations.
The Policy outlines the following key commitments:
- Reducing water withdrawal across all facilities by minimizing discharges and investing in water circularity innovations, including the expansion of dry factory projects to additional sites. These efforts focus on reusing water and reducing overall intake.
- Promoting circularity by minimizing the water footprint of products.
- Engaging stakeholders, particularly suppliers, by assessing their performance on water-related issues and sustainability practices.
- Ensuring transparency through annual reporting on water usage and disposal, following recognized standards such as CDP Water Security.
Water resources are also addressed in Puig's Sustainable Sourcing Policy, which outlines specific requirements for suppliers to ensure sustainable resource management. These include:
• Reducing Water Use in Alcohol Production: As alcohol is a key raw material, Puig encourages water use reduction in its production processes.
The Puig Water Policy acknowledges that some production sites are located in water-risk areas and establishes commitments to address and reduce water usage. These include promoting circularity to minimize the water footprint of products and reducing withdrawal across operations.
Other commitments arising from environmental-related Puig policies and guidelines are:
• Puig Water Policy: Efficiency and Circularity in Puig Facilities.Across all facilities, Puig is committed to enhancing process efficiency, minimizing discharges, and investing in water circularity innovations, such as reuse and intake reduction. Puig is also reformulating existing products and developing new product lines to reduce water as an ingredient.
32 When talking about consumption in the Puig Water Policy, the term refers to what it is considered water withdrawal in the ESRS standards definition.

• Sustainable Sourcing Policy: Puig has not set specific water-related commitments for its upstream or downstream value chain. However, targets on water and energy consumption reduction or efficiency are recommended as best practices for suppliers. Additionally, the company monitors supplier performance through EcoVadis assessment.

Actions related to Water and Marine Resources
Puig has identified two production sites located in water-risk areas: the skincare production plant in Vacarisses (Barcelona, Spain) and the Apivita production plant in Athens (Greece). Both facilities operate in Mediterranean regions characterized by a dry and warm climate.
The Dry Factory is Puig's flagship water management project, designed to achieve 100% industrial wastewater reuse in a closed-loop system. Wastewater is treated and repurposed for maintenance and HVAC processes, incorporating tertiary treatment to ensure water quality.
The project's first implementation took place at the Vacarisses facility, which is located near a protected stream and relies heavily on water as a raw material for cosmetics manufacturing. Since 2006, Puig has introduced multiple initiatives to reduce water withdrawal at this site. The Dry Factory project in Vacarisses aims to cut water withdrawal by 40% and eliminate industrial water discharges . The system is expected to be fully operational in 2025.
In the Apivita production plant, several actions have been implemented in 2024:
- Extension of irrigation network to supply water to planted roofs using rainwater collected in tanks, optimizing water reuse.
- Water pressure reduction at building water taps to minimize unnecessary use without compromising functionality.
- Adjustments to the 20 wall-mounted flush systems, contributing to significant water savings.
- Enhanced cleaning procedures for production vessels, specifically for certain formula categories, which resulted in the reduction of cleaning agents and water withdrawal in 14,650 liters of water in 2024.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.


Metrics and Targets related to Water
Targets related to Water
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones, if necessary. The already established targets are33:
| Target (m3) | Scope | Baseline value |
Baseline year |
Target year |
Progress 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2030 ESG Agenda targets | |||||
| 40% reduction of water withdrawal in the production plants |
Global | 83,933 | 2022 | 2030 | (1.07) % |
Puig's water target aligns with the objectives of the Puig Water Policy, which aims to minimize environmental impact and reduce water withdrawal across operations. This target was established through internal consultation with various departments to ensure a comprehensive approach.
As part of the 2030 ESG Agenda, Puig's targets contribute to achieving its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-approved emission reduction goals.
The company has set global water targets that apply to all sites, regardless of their location in water-risk areas. These targets are voluntary and reflect Puig's proactive approach to responsible water management.
Water Withdrawal Performance
| 2023 | % over total | 2024 | % over total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Water withdrawal (m3) | 285,042.41 | 151,690.21 | ||
| Estimated data | 209,695.21 | 74 % | 48,381.46 | 32 % |
| Primary data | 75,347.20 | 26 % | 103,308.75 | 68 % |
In 2024, three main factors contributed to the reduction in water withdrawal:
- Implementation of water-saving initiatives (as detailed above).
- Increased availability of primary data, improving accuracy in tracking use.
- Refinement of estimation methodologies for units without direct measurements, leading to a more precise calculation and significant decrease in reported cubic meters, aligning data more closely with typical usage patterns.
33 The methodology to define the targets has taken into account internal consultation with different departments of the company, the understanding of the business and historical data. If not explained, no science-based methodology has been followed.

| Total water withdrawal in areas at water risk (m3) in 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Vacarisses | 19,109 |
| Apivita | 13,455 |
Puig has not recycled or reused water.
Methodology for the calculation
Water withdrawal calculation is done following one of these methodologies:
- Primary data directly from invoices (m3).
- When estimating data:
- Production plants: comparing with similar reported units ratio of m3/units produced.
- Offices, shops and warehouses: comparing with similar reported units ratio m3/number of employees.
- As a ratio over net revenues when former ones are not applicable.
6.5 Biodiversity and Ecosystems


Disclosure on Biodiversity-Sensitive Areas and Impacts
Puig incorporates biodiversity considerations into its operations by identifying sensitive areas near its sites to prevent and mitigate environmental impacts. To determine what qualifies as a sensitive location, the company applies defined thresholds based on two key frameworks: the Task Force on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN).
According to these methodologies:
- An area is classified as high priority for biodiversity if it hosts species listed as endangered or critically endangered by the IUCN.34 Puig TNFD assessment does not take into consideration vulnerable species.
- A location is considered critical if its water stress index exceeds 40% in the WRF35 indices, indicating unsustainable water extraction.
- The ecological integrity index is used to identify areas with high ecological integrity that require conservation and special management.
Five Puig production plants are located within five kilometers of biodiversitysensitive areas36:
- Vacarisses Skincare Production Plant Near Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, a protected nature park.
- Alcalá de Henares Fragrance Production Plant Close to the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) of the Jarama and Henares rivers basin.
- Chartres Production Plant Near the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) of Valle de l'Eure de Maintenon Anet et vallons affluents.
- Uriage Skincare Production Plant (Uriage-les-Bains) Adjacent to Marais Des Seiglières, a designated Sensitive Natural Area (ENS).
- Uriage Skincare Production Plant (Échirolles) Located near Le Rocher de Comboire, also classified as a Sensitive Natural Area (ENS).
Although these locations are near sensitive areas, no significant negative impacts on land degradation, desertification, or soil health have been identified in Puig's operations.
While an analysis to determine whether Puig's activities pose a threat to species has not yet been conducted, this assessment is planned as part of the next TNFD evaluation in 2025.

Transition Plan and Consideration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems in Strategy and Business Model
Puig's business model and strategic roadmap are designed to remain resilient to biodiversity and ecosystem-related risks through a proactive approach that addresses physical, transition, and systemic risks while leveraging opportunities for sustainable growth.
As part of the assess phase of the LEAP37 approach, Puig has identified and measured the most material transition, physical, and systemic risks affecting its operations and value chain.
Puig's most significant material physical risk is drought and operating in waterstressed areas, affecting both its own operations and upstream activities. For Puig's facilities, this risk may lead to higher water costs and potential water supply disruptions. In upstream agricultural activities, where raw material production depends on freshwater availability, droughts can result in crop failures and lower yields, increasing raw material costs and disrupting supply chains.
From an ecological perspective, reduced water flows and declining water quality can severely impact aquatic ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity loss and potential ecosystem collapse.
To address these challenges, Puig has set a target to reduce water withdrawal by 40% across its production plants by 2030. A key initiative supporting this goal is the new water recycling system at the Vacarisses production plant, scheduled to be operational in 2025. This system is expected to achieve a 40% reduction in water withdrawal (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Water and Marine Resources section).
In the medium term, Puig plans to expand this system to its other production plants, further enhancing water efficiency across its operations.
The company's most relevant material transition risk related to biodiversity and land are the changes to legislation/regulation, particularly the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), that could result in increased costs, material shortages, regulatory non-compliance, and potential damage to reputation if the company fails to meet the standards. To prevent and mitigate this risk, Puig has deployed an action plan that includes training staff, implementing a traceability system, defining a supplier risk strategy which involves prioritizing sustainability and ensuring compliance with emerging regulations and performing periodic supplier assessments and audits to ensure compliance sustainability criteria.
Over the medium term, Puig has a significant opportunity to access new markets, assets and locations by aligning its business practices with sustainability and the growing demand for eco-conscious products. Actions to attract environmentally conscious consumers while fostering brand loyalty as the global market for sustainable products is expanding rapidly, driven by increased environmental awareness and conscious consumerism, will be a must. Different actions are included in the 2030 ESG Agenda to align with this opportunity, listed in targets section.
37 The TNFD LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess and Prepare) is designed for use by organizations of all sizes and across all sectors and geographies.

In the yearly assessment based on the recommendations of Task Force on Nature-related Finance Disclosure (TNFD), the whole value chain is included, to align business strategy, policies and practices with long-term sustainability goals, mitigating risks and taking advantage of opportunities.
Puig employs a combination of climate and nature forecasting models and risk analysis to evaluate both internal and external risks, opportunities, and dependencies. Climate scenarios like SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5, provided by organizations such as IIASA and IPCC, are used to analyze physical risks (in some cases we also use other sources such as NGFS and IEA scenarios). Tools used are the WWF on the Water Risk Filter, the World Energy Outlook, the NGFS scenarios, the IIASA scenarios and Dashboard and the IEA Net – Zero scenario.
Puig follows a structured process to assess the nature, probability, and magnitude of identified risks and opportunities. This approach incorporates both qualitative and quantitative factors to evaluate their strategic and financial significance. By analyzing real company data, including quantified impacts, growth estimates, and predictive models, the company anticipates future challenges and opportunities.
Risk assessment and management are fully integrated into Puig's global corporate risk management framework, ensuring alignment with broader business strategies.
A comprehensive resilience analysis has been conducted, covering own operations as well as upstream and downstream value chain activities. This analysis is based on the hypothesis of continued biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and declining ecosystem services on a global scale. Additionally, it considers the growing regulatory focus on transparency, impact measurement, and stakeholder oversight.
To ensure long-term preparedness, three time horizons have been established:
- Short-term: 0–5 years
- Mid-term: 6–10 years
- Long-term: 10+ years
The resilience analysis was carried out, involving senior management and governance bodies including the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee and ESG team. No involvement of stakeholders was considered.

Material IROs Identification Process related to Biodiversity and Ecosystems
The double materiality analysis has identified two material risks and three negative impacts latent in the industry and potential for Puig, related to biodiversity and ecosystems:
• Risks:
- The use of palm oil materials and its negative impact on biodiversity can present reputational and regulatory risks with potential negative financial impacts for Puig.
- Problems or shortages in the sourcing of raw materials can lead to production lines being stopped, resulting in a significant decrease or even a complete halt in production.
- Negative Impacts:
- Palm oil harvesting in specific regions of the world leads to deforestation, GHG emissions, and other environmental problems negatively impacting the environment.
- The emission of NOx and SOx leads to acid rain and increased ocean acidification, which in turn can cause damage to plant life by impairing photosynthesis and reducing growth, thereby negatively affecting the environment.
- Agricultural and mining practices, such as land conversion, deforestation, soil erosion and the use of pesticides, to obtain the most relevant raw materials in Puig's supply chain, such as paper, palm oil, alcohol, metal, glass, or mica, lead to a significant loss of terrestrial biodiversity. This threatens biodiversity, soils and ecosystems.
Additionally, to estimate potential impacts on nature from its own operations and value chain, Puig conducts a yearly assessment following the Task Force on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) methodology. Accordingly, Puig has based its analysis on the LEAP approach:
-
- Locating Puig's interface with nature.
-
- Evaluating Puig's dependencies and impacts on nature.
-
- Assessing nature-related risks and opportunities.
-
- Preparing responses to nature-related risks and opportunities.
Moreover, for the first time in 2024, Puig has also assessed and quantified its impacts using the SBTN methodology.

To measure the dependencies and impacts on nature, Puig has considered the five principal drivers of changes in nature and their impact indicators according to TNFD (changes in land and sea use, direct exploitation, climate change, pollution and invasive alien species). Specific tools such as WWF Water Risk Filter, WRI Aqueduct 4.0, and Ecoinvent have been used to assess environmental impacts associated with its activities. These sources are crucial to better understanding the risks and opportunities related to nature.
Following this, Puig has carried out a materiality screening for the highest potential impacts on nature related to its own operations and upstream activities. For both analyses, Puig has obtained similar results, being water use, GHG emissions and pollution (water and soil) the most significant pressures.
Puig's own operations, especially the factories, have a high dependency on freshwater availability. Regarding upstream activities, the most material dependencies are related to the ecosystem services classified as provisioning (freshwater) and mitigation (erosion control and flood protection).
To understand the material nature-related risks and opportunities, Puig has based its analysis on the Assess phase of the LEAP approach to prioritize risks by assessing the magnitude and likelihood of these risks, along with other specific additional criteria. Transition, physical and systemic risks have been assessed by Puig.
Puig's analysis has identified the following most material risks and opportunities:
- Transition risk: Changes to legislation/regulation.
- Physical risk: Drought/operating in water-stressed areas.
- Opportunity: Access new markets, assets and locations.
No material systemic risks have been identified. While systemic risks were evaluated, they were deemed non-material.
The double materiality analysis has taken into consideration communities for all assessed issues through consultations with proxies. There have been no further specific considerations apart from the ones explained in the general process (more information can be found in the Double Materiality Analysis and Sustainability chapter).
Puig has not yet conducted consultations with affected communities on sustainability assessments of shared biological resources and ecosystems, assessed whether and how specific sites, raw materials production or sourcing with negative or potential negative impacts affect communities and whether and how negative impacts on priority ecosystem services of relevance to affected communities may be avoided.
The company has not identified activities negatively affecting biodiversitysensitive areas near its production plants, specifically in those mentioned in the section Disclosure on Biodiversity-Sensitive Areas and Impacts.

Three of the five factories located near a biodiversity-sensitive area have an Environmental Management System in place. The company plans to extend the number of ISO 14001 certified plants to improve monitoring of the impact in these areas.
Following the SBTN, Puig is working on obtaining more accurate information from its upstream activities to implement the most efficient measures to mitigate impacts on biodiversity. Until now it has not been concluded to be necessary to implement biodiversity mitigation measures.

Policies related to Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig has not already assessed the relation of current policies with the IROs identified in the analysis.
The Puig Forest Policy outlines the company's approach to enhancing biodiversity and protecting ecosystems through various lines of action:
- Promoting circularity of products.
- Using certified ingredients and materials.
- Promoting the implementation of regenerative agriculture practices in the supply chain.
- Ensuring zero deforestation in the supply chain.
- Increasing traceability of materials and ingredients.
- Engaging with suppliers to ensure they adhere to best practices on ESG and to implement joint actions on nature and biodiversity.
The Puig Forest Policy shows the company's commitment to sustainable practices that prevent deforestation and land degradation, issues that may have negative consequences in communities. It also promotes collaboration with local communities in reforestation projects and sustainable agriculture practices across the value chain.
Additionally, other corporate policies also mention and address impacts, risks, opportunities and dependencies related to nature:
- The Pollution Prevention Policy commits to contributing to global naturepositive objectives through collaborating on conservation or ecosystem restoration projects and developing internal projects for ecosystem recovery and regeneration across the entire supply chain. This policy also focuses in the prevention of freshwater and marine pollution (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Pollution section).
- The Water Policy advocates for the reduction of water withdrawal, which will preserve ecosystems and biodiversity (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Water and Marine Resources section).
- The Waste Policy sets the zero waste to landfill target (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Resource Use and Circular Economy section).
- The Climate Policy commits to different emission-reduction targets (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Climate Change section).
- The Sustainable Sourcing Policy sets the minimum requirements for Puig suppliers to comply with in terms of environment, including climate change , waste, water, pollution, and nature.

These policies cover owned, leased or managed operational sites in or near biodiversity sensitive areas.
Puig has no direct material impact on seas or oceans, so no related policies have been adopted. No material impacts related to invasive alien species have been identified for the company's value chain.

Actions and Resources related to Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Puig's efforts to minimize its impact on biodiversity and ecosystems are reflected in the various initiatives launched in 2024:
- Collaboration with the alcohol supplier Cristalco by supporting their Amplify project. This project promotes the transition of the sugar beet industry to regenerative agriculture practices, improving soil health and reducing related emissions (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Climate Change section).
- Continuous increase of the % of purchased certified raw materials, specifically RSPO-certified palm oil, FSC-certified paper and cardboard, and SAI-certified alcohol.
- Kick-off with the Transparency One tool to gain traceability on materials.
- Launch of Apivita's Billion Bees Program in collaboration with 1% for the Planet organization, aiming to secure the regeneration of 1 billion bees per year as well as to raise awareness about the importance of bees for life and biodiversity through education. Apivita commits to give back 1% of global sales of its iconic product ranges to partnered non-profit organizations helping bee population regeneration and awareness at a global level. Honeybee populations are key to:
- a. preserving plant biodiversity
- b. reducing the impacts of climate change
- c. supporting the livelihood of rural communities
- d. enhancing crop quality and quantity
The program has been rolled out in Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium and Portugal in collaboration with local NGOs dedicated to the protection of bees and raising awareness of their vital role of nature and people. By the end of 2024, the program has secured 4 billion bees.
- Furthermore, Apivita employees travelled to four Greek islands to enforce underwater cleanups, plastics collection for research purposes, and ghost-nets retrieval with Aegan Rebreath, an NGO member of the 1% for the Planet, contributing to collecting from the sea more than 4,500 items overall.
- Apivita has also collaborated with another 1% for the Planet member, the NGO New Agriculture New Generation, in the implementation of the "Restarting Beekeeping in Thessaly" program. The program's goal is to strengthen the resilience of bee colonies and reduce the impacts of climate change by transferring knowledge and practices from specialized scientists. The program supported 394 affected professional beekeepers in Thessaly (Greece) by providing 27,000 queen bee cells. These initiatives will contribute not only to repairing the damage caused by natural disasters but also to developing the conditions for the future strengthening of the beekeeping sector in Thessaly.

In 2024, Puig invested in carbon credits from agroforestry projects in India and Colombia promoting nature regeneration and restoration (more information can be found in the Environment chapter, Climate Change section).
Puig has not used biodiversity offsets in the action plan.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.

6.6 Resource Use and Circular Economy


Material IROs related to Resource Use and Circular Economy
Puig has analyzed its operations and value chain to identify actual and potential IROs related to resource use and the circular economy. This assessment was part of the Double Materiality Analysis, conducted in alignment with the CSRD and ESRS frameworks and incorporating methodologies such as GRI and SASB standards.
The process included:
- Value chain mapping to evaluate resource flows and dependencies.
- Stakeholder consultations to gather insights on sustainability challenges, including affected communities through proxies.
- Identification of 113 sustainability-related impacts, including waste management.
These findings guide Puig's sustainability strategy, ensuring compliance with ESRS E5 requirements while advancing long-term circularity goals through optimized resource management and waste reduction.

Policies related to Resource Use and Circular Economy
The Puig Waste Policy sets the framework to drive the company's transition to a circular model throughout the entire value chain. To drive circularity, Puig waste strategy is deployed in three commitments:
- Advancing towards manufacturing with zero waste to landfill.
- Promoting the circularity of products.
- Engaging with suppliers to reduce their waste footprint.
The Puig Waste Policy also commits to promoting the use of more sustainable and/or recycled materials. In 2024 this Policy was complemented with the Responsible Materials Guidelines, which is a set of rules and guidelines for all internal teams involved in the design of a product to follow thoroughly. The aim of these guidelines is to define minimum thresholds all products must comply with to ensure our packaging has the lowest impact on the environment by transitioning away from virgin resources, promoting recycled, recyclable, renewable and re-usable alternatives. Both documents are focused in minimizing the impact in disposal and further recycling .

Actions related to Resource Use and Circular Economy
Puig integrates circular economy principles across multiple workstreams, encompassing the entire value chain, from product design to manufacturing and end-of-life management.
From the earliest stages, Puig designs its products with circularity principles, incorporating them into both formulations and packaging.
Advancing Circularity in Packaging and Operations
Puig continues to strengthen its circular approach to packaging, and operations, integrating sustainability principles throughout the entire value chain to achieve a minimum production of waste not only in own operations but also in end-of-life phases and make it easier to recycle.
Industry Collaboration for Circularity
To enhance circularity in formulas and packaging, Puig is a member of the EcoBeauty Score Consortium, an industry coalition developing a standardized methodology to assess the environmental impact of cosmetic products. This methodology, currently in development, will help evaluate product alignment with circular economy principles. Puig is actively involved in shaping the framework and has begun assessing its portfolio using the first pilot version, providing valuable insights for the Consortium.
Sustainable Packaging and Eco-Design
A full life cycle approach guides Puig's packaging strategy, considering environmental impact of end-of-life phase. The company uses the SPICE ecodesign tool, a science-based, data-driven framework aligned with the European Commission's Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). This tool enables packaging teams to compare materials, measure environmental footprints, and integrate sustainability into decision-making to minimize the impact of disposal and recycling. As a corporate member of the SPICE initiative, Puig contributes to industry-wide advancements in sustainable packaging.
Efforts to reduce packaging impact to optimize waste treatment focus on:
- Using recyclable, post-consumer recycled (PCR), and biodegradable materials.
- Expanding refillable systems to encourage reuse.
- Reducing packaging volume across primary, secondary, coffrets, and tertiary packaging
Plastic Reduction and Circular Innovations
Reducing plastic use is a priority, but when complete elimination is not feasible, Puig ensures that at least 30% of plastic used is post-consumer recycled (PCR). Makeup and Prestige fragrance gift sets are now plastic-free, using cardboard, paper, or cellulose materials for windows instead.

One example of innovation in materials is the Byredo Mojave Ghost Absolu de Parfum cap, developed in collaboration with FaiveleyTech. Made from Sulapac®, a bio-based biocomposite that biodegrades naturally, the cap replaces traditional plastic with a combination of wood and responsibly selected biopolymers.
Additionally, Puig is increasing its use of post-consumer recycled materials to replace virgin plastic, glass, and paper.
Refillable Systems for Product Longevity
To extend product life cycle, Puig has implemented two refillable models:
- Refill at home: Consumers can purchase refill formats in-store and online.
- Refill in-store: Products can be replenished using refill stations at select retail locations.
Puig brands significantly expanded their refillable offerings in 2024:
- Charlotte Tilbury introduced 16 refillable products with 58 core refillable references.
- Uriage launched its first refillable jar, the Cica Daily Repairing Cream Concentrate 50ml, featuring a 30% rPET outer jar and a PP refill jar, preventing 87% packaging waste, cutting plastic use by 94%, and reducing cardboard consumption by 26%.
- Uriage also joined the French Pharma Recharge Consortium to promote refill solutions in pharmacies.
- Penhaligon's has continued to expand its in-store refill program, installing new refill machines in 2024, with plans to further accelerate the deployment in the coming years.
Consumer Awareness and Recycling Initiatives
Puig promotes consumer education on sustainability and responsible disposal of products to ensure materials are reintegrated into new production cycles.
Efforts include:
- Disassembly strategies to facilitate proper recycling.
- Recycling pictograms on all product packaging.
- Eliminating disruptors to optimize waste processing.
Circularity in Fashion
In fashion, Puig is a member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Fashion Taskforce, a not-for-profit organization founded by His Majesty King Charles III to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.
The Puig fashion house Carolina Herrera collaborates with Fabscrap to recycle leftover fabrics, diverting 1,044 kg of textile waste from landfill in 2024.

Innovation and Industry Collaboration
Puig invests in research and development to continuously improve product sustainability and partners with leading industry groups, including SPICE, the EcoBeauty Score Consortium, SMI, Cosmetics Europe, and Stanpa, to drive innovation and create solutions that benefit the entire sector.
Zero Waste and Resource Optimization in Facilities
At the operational level, Puig is working to optimize resource use and minimize waste. By 2030, all Puig sites must achieve zero waste to landfill. Currently, four out of seven production plants have already reached this goal.
Specific circular initiatives include:
- At the Alcalá de Henares fragrance production plant (Spain), hydroalcoholic waste is now recognized as a by-product, repurposed by another industry rather than being discarded.
- At the Chartres production plant, Puig collaborated with Haut la Consigne, a company that participated in the VI edition of Makers, part of Puig's Invisible Beauty social action program. This partnership led to a study exploring the reuse of fragrance glass bottles, preventing them from being treated as waste.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.

Metrics and Targets related to Resource Use and Circular Economy
Resource Use and Circular Economy related Targets
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones, if necessary. As part of the Puig 2030 ESG Agenda, the company has set the following targets39 to reduce resource consumption and, therefore, minimize waste generation across both product life cycles and manufacturing processes:

All targets are established in line with the Puig Waste Policy, which promotes innovation and eco-design across the entire value chain to optimize waste volumes and management. All Puig targets are voluntary.
The 100% sites sending zero waste to landfill target is specifically focused on the commitment of reducing the amount of waste that is not recycled.
These targets were defined through internal consultation with various departments, ensuring alignment with Puig's two global objectives:
- Contributing to limiting global warming to 1.5ºC by 2030.
- Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
39 The methodology to define the targets has taken into account internal consultation with different departments of the company, the understanding of the business and historical data. If not explained, no science-based methodology has been followed.

Resource Outflows
Puig manufactures two main types of product, fragrances and skincare, prioritizing the following circular principles:
- Reusability: in recent years, more refillable options have been launched to optimize the use of the product, extend the life of the packaging and contribute to reducing waste.
- Disassembly: For the packaging to be recyclable, it is key for products to be disassembled at the end of their life. Puig has introduced innovative ways to separate packaging materials from each other.
- Recycling: one of Puig's key efforts is increasing the recyclability of cosmetics packaging by prioritizing the use of recyclable materials.
Puig products are designed for consumption rather than long-term use or repair, so durability and repairability are not relevant considerations.
Moreover, due to its characteristics and usage, the content of product does not have the capacity to be recyclable.
Average recyclability of packaging for the fragrances, skincare and makeup40 products is 76.8%.
The methodology used considers all SKUs in the portfolio, the recyclability rate of each material and the percentage each of them represents in the product. Whenever raw materials are difficult to recycle due to a very low presence in the product, the company considers that the recyclability is 0.

Fostering a Responsible Workforce
Description of Workforce Types Subject to Material Impacts
Puig's Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) identified and evaluated both actual and potential material impacts on Puig's own workforce (people employed by Puig), considering all scenarios: corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, and retail operations.
During the Double Materiality Assessment, employees have been analyzed as a single group, with no particular consideration given to their location, vulnerability, gender, or any other specific trait.
The scope of this disclosure encompasses all the Puig workforce, ensuring a comprehensive approach to understanding risks, opportunities, and dependencies related to human capital.
The Double Materiality Assessment identified material impacts which particularly affect the Puig own workforce in manufacturing and retail operations.
Negative Impacts
Puig has identified material negative impacts latent in the industry and potential effects related to the Puig workforce, specifically in connection with:
- Health and Safety Risks in Manufacturing and Retail Operations: Employees in Puig's production plants might face health and safety risks due to exposure to hazardous substances, heavy machinery, and high temperature environments.
- Working conditions: Creating unfavorable working conditions, including noncompliance with hours, unsafe environments, non-payment of wages, salaries below the decent minimum, unjustified dismissals, and lack of representation, which limit employees' opportunities and negatively impact their well-being.
The identified impacts are widespread across the industry, and not related to individual cases.
Positive Impacts
Ensuring employee satisfaction, safety, and health through the promotion of workplace well-being and the implementation of comprehensive development and training plans.
Risks and Opportunities for Puig
Puig's business model and strategy are influenced by awareness of workforcerelated opportunities and risks:
• Opportunity - By promoting inclusion and equity, Puig can create a diverse and fair work environment, offering equal growth opportunities for all employees and enhancing morale, while attracting diverse talent and enriching the company's culture with fresh perspectives.

• Risk - Worker injuries, illnesses, and fatalities can lead to regulatory penalties, negative publicity, low worker morale and productivity, increased healthcare and compensation costs, and potential litigation, all of which can have a significant financial impact on the business.
Operations at Risk of Forced or Child Labor
Puig's own operations do not present any risk relate to forced or child labor.

Policies Related to Our People
The success of Puig as a company lies in the dedicated individuals who make up the teams, their creativity and ways of working. This year, we have reinforced policies and practices that protect and promote a workplace where innovation and collaboration are encouraged.
This section highlights the key policies that ensure Puig's workplace remains a safe and dynamic space for everyone, allowing its people to unlock their full potential and contribute to shared goals.
Puig Ethical Code
Puig's Ethical Code not only establishes clear expectations for all employees but also embodies the core values of the Puig family, which have guided the company since its inception. These values—Restless Curiosity, Contagious Enthusiasm, Fairness and Respect, Entrepreneurial Audacity, and Shaping Tomorrow— reinforce employees with a strong sense of belonging and commitment to Puig's purpose.
Puig's Ethical Code promotes a culture of diversity, inclusion, and professional growth, ensuring fair, transparent, and merit-based talent management. It also defines best practices for data protection, confidentiality, and conflict-ofinterest management, strengthening ethical decision-making at every level of the organization.
To support these principles, Puig provides a secure and confidential Reporting Channel, allowing employees to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Managers play a key role in upholding ethical standards, ensuring compliance, and leading by example.
Puig Human Rights Policy
Puig recognizes that its employees are its most valuable asset and cultivates a workplace culture rooted in respect, inclusion, and integrity. Upholding human rights is a core principle embedded in the company's culture and operations. In alignment with the Puig Ethical Code, the company introduced the Puig Human Rights Policy in 2024, establishing a unified framework to safeguard human rights across the organization and its business activities, with a particular emphasis on addressing labor-related risks and impacts.
The core principles include:
-
- Prohibition of Forced Labor: Zero tolerance of any type of forced labor, including modern slavery, servitude, and human trafficking.
-
- Prohibition of Child Labor: Striving to guarantee that all employment relationships are voluntary and comply with the legal minimum hiring age, and that employees under 18 years of age are not employed to work at night or to perform hazardous work.

-
- Non-Discrimination and Respect for Diversity: Prohibiting any form of discrimination based on gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics.
-
- Prevention of Harassment: Zero tolerance for physical, verbal, or psychological harassment in the workplace.
-
- Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining: Explicit support for employees' rights to organize and negotiate collectively.
-
- Health and Safety at Work: Regular risk assessments and continuous training to ensure a safe and healthy work environment.
-
- Working Hours: Compliance with legal limits on working hours contained both in local law and applicable collective bargaining agreements, including rest periods.
-
- Fair Wages: Entitlement to fair compensation ensuring employees receive a fair living wage.
The Puig Human Rights Policy is structured in accordance with globally recognized standards and frameworks, including:
UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP)
International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
Puig upholds the UNGP by embedding respect and protection of universal human rights across its operations. This principle is reinforced at the highest level through the Puig Human Rights Policy approved by the Board of Directors and transparently communicated through the intranet and company website. Puig monitors the fulfillment of its UNGP commitments through the results of the Reporting Channel (explained in detail in the Puig Reporting Channel section) which allows us to detect violations of these commitments if any have taken place.
Given the Puig Human Rights Policy is strongly aligned with the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, Puig strictly prohibits forced or compulsory labor and child labor, enforces legal hiring age requirements, and protects individuals under 18 from hazardous work environments. The company also supports freedom of association and collective bargaining, ensuring employees can organize and negotiate their rights without interference.
Puig is dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace free from discrimination, where equality, diversity, and fair treatment are upheld at all levels of the organization. This is reflected in the Puig Ethical Code and the Human Rights Policy and embedded through comprehensive training programs and integrated into operational practices, highlighting Puig's adherence to international labor standards.
Puig's efforts also contribute positively to society, reinforcing the company's role as a responsible corporate citizen that prioritizes well-being, fairness, and ethical business practices.

Occupational Health and Safety Policy
At Puig, the well-being and safety of employees is one of the highest priorities. A safe and healthy working environment not only protects employees but also strengthens the company's ability to deliver excellence across its operations. This commitment is embedded in Puig Ethical Code which is the fundamental company standard from which all other corporate polices derive. The Puig Human Rights Policy is the core corporate policy which reinforces compliance with occupational health and safety regulations and the continuous improvement of health and safety standards.
The Occupational Health and Safety Policy, applicable across all Puig business activities and approved by the Chairman and CEO in December 2024, reinforces the company's focus on workplace health, safety, and employee well-being, both within the organization and in its interactions with third parties. It establishes a series of key principles:
- Provide healthy and safe working conditions, eliminate dangers, and minimize risks in all workplaces.
- Promote compliance with all applicable legal requirements wherever Puig operates, as well as to all other standards to which Puig voluntarily subscribes.
- Promote employee participation in occupational health and safety and ensure their representatives are consulted in matters relating to occupational health and safety.
These principles are supported by the following priorities:
- Occupational health and safety at Puig is a shared responsibility involving every employee and stakeholder. The company expects everyone to be aware of this priority and take an active role in maintaining and safeguarding health and safety in their activities and interactions.
- Regular health and safety risk assessments are carried out to determine the measures required to mitigate identified risks to employees' health, safety, and well-being. A set of procedures is available for detecting and avoiding risks and ensuring the implementation of relevant corrective and preventive actions.
- Reduction of work-related accidents and health and safety hazards is an ongoing objective for Puig.
- Regular health and safety training is provided to employees and records of training are kept, as employees' knowledge and awareness are essential to achieving the objectives set out in this Policy.
- The standards set out in the Occupational Health and Safety Policy are promoted by the OHS area across the entire value chain (including upstream and downstream activities) through Puig's contractual relationships and the relevant due diligence processes and audits.
- Puig regularly reviews and updates its occupational health and safety management system and seeks to ensure that working conditions in every workplace are monitored, measured, and improved continuously.

- Wherever possible, systems for managing operational health and safety follow the principles of recognized international standards such as ISO 45001.
- Employees and other stakeholders (including persons doing internships and external contractors) are required to report all work-related hazards, incidents, injuries, and illnesses. All accidents, incidents, and near misses must be recorded and investigated, and controls put in place to eliminate and prevent future incidents or injuries and continuously improve standards of workplace health and safety.
- It is the duty of all employees to take all available measures to ensure their own health and safety and that of any other person who may be affected by their work.
Health and safety at Puig goes beyond compliance, forming a fundamental pillar of its Integrated Management System (IMS) Statement which unifies the company's approach to quality, good manufacturing practices (GMP), environmental management, and occupational health and safety (H&S) under a cohesive strategy.
The IMS Statement provides clear guidelines, processes, and procedures aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of employees, and serves as the foundation for the development and implementation of all activities within the integrated management system.
While the IMS Statement applies globally, it is particularly emphasized in locations where certified ISO management systems are in place, such as Spain, France, and India. In these countries, the IMS Statement functions as the local Health and Safety Policy, ensuring alignment with internationally recognized safety standards and practices.

Statement on Non-Discrimination
The Puig Ethical Code and Human Rights Policy unequivocally state that discrimination, victimization, and harassment—particularly workplace or sexual harassment—are not tolerated. Puig remains particularly vigilant to ensure equal treatment in hiring, compensation, access to training, career development, working conditions, and retirement.
Certain Puig subsidiaries, including those in South Korea, Sweden, Belgium, Brazil, Peru, the US, and Spain have embedded anti-discrimination policies within their local regulations, further strengthening Puig's commitment to fostering an equitable workplace.
Considering the comprehensive scope of these policies and the effectiveness of Puig's reporting channels, Puig has not identified the need to develop a specific company-wide policy on discrimination at this time, nor to develop additional commitments for specific groups of employees. The company will continue to monitor this topic as material and take action if a more focused approach is deemed appropriate.


Processes for Engaging and Developing Our People
At Puig, employees are at the center of the company's success. To provide the best employee experience, Puig has established processes that enhance recognition, development, and well-being while aligning with the company's ESG commitments. Through clear communication, continuous learning, and a strong focus on health and safety, these processes and programs drive ongoing improvement, ensuring alignment with employee needs and integrating their insights into the decision-making process
Processes for Engagement and Development
- Workplace Intranet: Puig's global communications channel, Workplace, also serves as a powerful platform for fostering employee recognition, development, and well-being across the various communities within the organization.
- Experience Puig: A dedicated digital platform designed to support employees in managing their professional development and career progression within the company. This initiative reflects Puig's ongoing commitment to fostering internal mobility, enhancing talent development, and providing employees with the tools to reach their full potential.
- Performance and Development: Performance management and development serve as key engagement drivers for employees. Through the Annual Performance Reviews (P&D), employees—except those in manufacturing roles have the opportunity to communicate their career aspirations and future objectives, and actively shape their professional growth within the company. These reviews include one-on-one discussions with managers to assess past performance and set future objectives.
- Employee Surveys: Additional surveys are conducted to capture anonymous feedback on specific topics and/or regions, ensuring a broad and inclusive understanding of employee sentiment. In 2024 an Inclusion Survey was launched with a focus on promoting an environment where every employee feels supported, represented, and empowered to thrive.
Insights gathered from the 2024 Inclusion Survey allowed the company to better understand diverse perspectives and address the specific needs of underrepresented groups, including:
- Ethnic minorities, LGBT+ employees, and individuals with mental or physical disabilities.
- Employees identified by gender identity or as caregivers (for children, elderly parents, or those with disabilities).
- Employees living or working outside their country of origin.
The survey highlighted an overall high level of inclusion across different groups, as well as few key differences, which are now informing Puig's action plan to address identified challenges and further support workforce equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The Puig Chief Human Resources Officer bears operational responsibility for ensuring engagement as described above.
Processes for Health, Safety, and Well-Being
- ISO 45001 certification: Establishment of clear and robust communication channels that enable active consultation and participation across all levels of the workforce.
- Employee-Led Improvements: Employees are encouraged to act as initiators of change, sharing suggestions through the accessible channels mentioned, to contribute to safer, healthier, and more efficient workplaces. This approach ensures that the workforce is not only heard but empowered to drive meaningful improvements.
- Localized Leadership: Each facility is supported by a dedicated team—often comprised of HR, Plant Directors, and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) specialists— and at local level the local HR, who act on behalf of the company to drive well-being and safety initiatives tailored to local needs. This localized leadership ensures that the global standards Puig upholds are implemented effectively across all regions.
Processes for Addressing People's Concerns
Aligned with the Puig Ethical Code, the company actively promotes a speak up culture, encouraging employees and stakeholders to take a proactive role in identifying and preventing unethical behavior, human rights abuses, or breaches of internal or external regulations.
This cultural commitment is is expressed through Puig's dedicated and secure Reporting Channel, reinforced by the Puig Ethical Code and the Puig Human Rights policy, which enables employees and third parties to report concerns, violations, or provide feedback confidentially, with a strict guarantee of protection against retaliation.
At Puig, respecting and addressing any adverse human rights impact across its operations and value chain is a core principle embedded in its Ethical Code and Human Rights Policy. This commitment is also incorporated into the Reporting Channel Policy and Procedure.
The Puig Reporting Channel serves as the primary avenue for employees to raise concerns, ensuring that confidentiality, privacy, and protection against retaliation are upheld to the highest standards. It guarantees a prompt and thorough response, in alignment with the Puig Ethical Code.
Employees' concerns are brought to the Puig Reporting Channel through various other avenues as well. These include HR Business Partners who engage directly with employees to identify and escalate issues. Managers, often the first point of contact for many, maintain an open-door policy, actively listening and escalating concerns as needed through this channel. Additionally, Workers' Committees provide a formal and confidential space for collective reporting and discussion.

By integrating these pathways, Puig adopts a comprehensive and responsive approach to identifying and addressing concerns, reinforcing its commitment to transparency, accountability, and employee well-being.
Details of the functioning of the channel, its mechanisms and guarantees, and the evaluation of communications are explained in detail in the Governance chapter, Puig Reporting Channel section.

Metrics and Targets to advance ESG
Puig employs a comprehensive approach to monitor and assess the effectiveness of its actions and initiatives, ensuring that they deliver meaningful outcomes for the workforce, and detecting any potential negative impact resulting from Puig's activities.
In addition to the engagement processes mentioned before, Puig evaluates Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as accident rates and absenteeism.
The following metrics include only individuals legally employed by Puig, excluding independent contractors, suppliers, and other non-employee workers.
Puig also conducts regular Internal Audits to verify compliance with applicable labor laws and internal policies.
In 2022 the company started to integrate ESG objectives in the annual performance practices.
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones if necessary. The previously established targets are presented below.43

The information presented in this report is the result of this reclassification, in its case.
There has been one case considered a discrimination incident (classified in the Harassment category as explained in the annex Information on Respect for Human Rights). The case was categorized as a severe human rights incident . There were no fines resulting from the incident.
There have been no cases that constitute breaches of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration, or the OECD Guidelines.
7.2 People in the Value Chain


Fostering a Responsible Value Chain
Puig operates within a complex global value chain, involving multiple tiers and a diverse network of suppliers and logistics providers. This structure may have a material impact on workers employed by suppliers across all upstream tiers and workers working at Puig sites but who are not part of Puig's own workforce. During the Double Materiality Assessment, all workers in the value chain have been analyzed as a single group, with no particular considerations to gender, vulnerability, age, or other specific characteristics. Downstream workers have been considered in the analysis but have turned out to be non-material.
These risks include limited labor rights, poor working conditions, harassment, abuse, and discrimination.
Based on the double materiality analysis,the value chain workers related to actual or potential impacts are:
- Workers in raw material extraction who are vulnerable to health and safety risks and exploitation, especially in developing countries.
- Manufacturing and production workers who are vulnerable to poor working and living conditions (where accommodation is provided by the company), low wages, job insecurity, and exposure to harmful chemicals.
Puig is currently assessing geographies and commodities in its supply chain where there is a significant risk of child labor, forced or compulsory labor, and labor exploitation.
Two material negative impacts latent in the industry and potential for Puig have been identified in the double materiality assessment:
- Specifically for China, the imposition of forced or compulsory labor results in individuals providing work or service under penalty, without voluntary consent, negatively impacting societal well-being.
- The use of heavy machinery, hazardous substances, high temperatures, pressure, and electrical risks in chemical manufacturing poses significant health and safety threats to employees in Puig's supply chain.
These negative impacts are related to systemic risks, and Puig works alongside the supply chain to ensure suppliers apply good ESG practices that prevent them.
Following the double materiality assessment, no material positive impacts related to workers in the value chain have been identified.

Two potential risks for workers in the value chain have been identified as material, both directly related to the negative material impacts.
- Human rights violation incidents in the supply chain often receive extensive media coverage, which can damage Puig's image and affect its reputation in the long term.
- Worker injuries, illnesses, and fatalities can lead to regulatory penalties, negative publicity, low worker morale and productivity, increased healthcare and compensation costs, and potential litigation, all of which can have a significant financial impact on the business.
These risks do not relate to any specific group of value chain workers.

Policies Related to People in the Value Chain
Puig's Sustainable Sourcing Policy
As stated in the Puig Ethical Code and further developed by the Puig Human Rights Policy for internal workers, the company is committed to respecting and defending universal human rights and complying strictly with related applicable law and regulations (more information can be found in the Social chapter, Our People section).
Puig's Sustainable Sourcing Policy develops the company's approach to managing material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to value chain workers by aligning with internationally recognized standards, such as the previously mentioned UNGP and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. It is also in line with the principles set out by the UN Global Compact, as Puig has been a signatory of this organization since 2020.
The Policy is designed to ensure ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the inclusion of value chain workers across all operations, extending these standards to suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners. It is structured as follows:
1. Commitments to Value Chain Workers
Puig is committed to human and labor rights throughout its value chain by requiring all suppliers to adhere to principles that safeguard workers' dignity and rights. Specific measures included in the Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy are:
- The Supplier will not employ any person under the legal age for working in each country.
- The Supplier will ensure that employment relationships shall be based on the principle of voluntariness. No forced labor in any form is accepted.
- Suppliers must prohibit discriminatory practices and ensure equal treatment regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or disability.
- Suppliers are required to recognize workers' rights to organize, form unions, and engage in collective bargaining.
- Regular risk assessments must be conducted to mitigate workplace hazards, and ongoing training must be provided to promote a culture of safety.
- The Supplier will ensure adequate working hours and rest days to promote the health and well-being of workers.
- Wages paid by the Supplier will meet the minimum legal obligations.

2. Respect for International Human Rights Standards
Additionally, Puig requires suppliers to implement its Sustainable Sourcing Policy, which is aligned with key global frameworks including the UNGP and the ILO's conventions, prior to initiating business relationships.
Cases of non-compliance are reviewed through a dedicated Reporting Channel, which ensures confidentiality and anonymity for all stakeholders. This is integral to Puig's broader speak up culture.
3. Provision of Remedy for Human Rights Impacts
Puig puts in place mechanisms to address and resolve human rights violations within the value chain. These include:
- The establishment of a secure Reporting Channel for stakeholders to raise concerns.
- Engagement with suppliers to implement corrective action plans for identified breaches.
- Comprehensive follow-up and monitoring to prevent recurrence.
4. Focus on Trafficking and Forced and Child Labor
Explicit measures to combat trafficking and forced labor are embedded within Puig's supplier requirements. The Sustainable Sourcing Policy clearly prohibits any form of involuntary labor and ensures that all workers are employed based on voluntary agreements.
Suppliers must further comply with international standards for age verification and working conditions, with no tolerance for child labor at any level of the supply chain.
No cases of non-compliance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises involving value chain workers have been reported in 2024.

Processes to Engage with People in the Value Chain
Puig has in place a complete process for auditing supplier's performance that includes value chain worker engagement. Following the SMETA methodology that assesses different ESG aspects, interviews with suppliers' employees are carried out to gather information on their views and concerns on actual and potential impacts on them, during the on-site audits. The outputs collected during the interviews are considered in the assessment of suppliers.
The frequency of the audits, and consequently of the interviews, depends on the level of risk determined for the supplier and the type and number of noncompliances identified in previous audits.
The operational responsibility for ensuring that the engagement with suppliers' workers happens and that the inputs are considered in their assessment is within the scope of the Chief Sustainability Officer.
Currently, Puig has no agreements with global union federations related to respect of human rights of workers in the value chain.
For the moment, there are no additional steps taken for vulnerable workers. During 2025, the company plans to define the due diligence process for the supply chain to align it with the new CS3D legislation.
Puig's Commitment to People in the Value Chain
Acceptance of the Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy is mandatory for all suppliers before they can work with Puig. The requirements set out in this Policy are part of the agreement between Puig and the supplier.
When instances of non-compliance are identified, Puig takes appropriate action to address them, which may include, depending on the degree of materiality of the non-conformity, (i) the implementation of a corrective action plan and timeline by the supplier to effectively and promptly resolve the breach, (ii) the non renewal of the supply contract at its term, or (iii) the immediate termination of the business relationship.
The Puig mechanism to raise concerns and remedy negative impacts is the Reporting Channel (more information can be found in the Governance chapter, Puig Reporting Channel section).

Taking Action on People in the Value Chain
Material negative impacts and risks identified in the double materiality assessment are prevented, mitigated and remedied through different lines of action. Puig Ethical Code is the reference for avoiding any impact caused directly by the company in the workers of the value chain.
Audits and Assessments
To ensure that the requirements set in the Sustainable Sourcing Policy are being met by the suppliers, the company carries periodic due diligence audits and assessments, which include revision of the working conditions. Business integrity, labor standards, and health and safety are core pillars in the audits.
Two processes are performed:
Supplier Audits
In this case, two audit types are carried out: In 2024 Puig has initiated the Ethical Auditing Program, which involves the rollout of the SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) 4-Pillar audits, consisting of:
- Health and safety: Reviews of the safety of the workplace.
- Labor: Reviews of labor standards, including working conditions, adequate wages and entitlements.
- Environment: Reviews of the company's environmental impact.
- Business ethics: Reviews of the company's ethical practices
The objectives of the SMETA Ethical auditing program are:
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure suppliers meet relevant ESG regulations and standards, avoiding legal issues.
- Risk Mitigation: Identify and manage potential risks in the supply chain that could impact Puig reputation and operations.
- Sustainability: Promote sustainable and responsible practices, aligning suppliers with Puig sustainability goals.
- Transparency and Trust: Increase transparency and accountability, enhancing the credibility of the ESG reports.
- Continuous Improvement: Facilitate the identification of improvement areas and encourage collaboration to implement better practices over the long term.
The Ethical Audits Program at Puig prioritizes business critical suppliers and risk country operations, includes confidential worker interviews, and is conducted by external auditing partners.

The model is based on compiling the audits' results on a single database which allows for the implementation of shared audits and access to audits already carried out by other companies.
The selection of suppliers to be audited is based on several factors, one of them being the risk of the area where they are located. Higher risk areas have been identified based on the Sedex risk radar tool and widely recognized human rights indicator datasets across labor rights, health and safety, and business ethics to help identify those areas and regions at higher risk of modern slavery.
Ethical audits with suppliers that are deemed at higher risk based on region, business activities, and raw materials used are prioritized. Puig is prioritizing the manufacturing activities taking place in China, South Korea, Middle East, regions of Europe and United States and working in parallel on remediation with the suppliers.
Through the audits, Puig identifies material impacts and agrees with suppliers on action plans to remedy issues. The remediation is monitored to ensure the correct implementation of the action plans. With conversations with suppliers and worker engagement, the company has been able to remedy issues of restriction on freedom of movement and risks to health and safety in factory dormitories. For instances of non-compliance, a timeframe for solving the issue is established. If the deadline is reached without the issue being solved, the company reserves the right to terminate the commercial relationship with this supplier.
Puig ensures its practices do not cause negative impacts by enforcing human rights due diligence, supplier audits, and grievance mechanisms. Guided by its Ethical Code and Sustainable Sourcing Policy, Puig aligns with labor standards through capacity-building and stakeholder engagement.
By the end of 2024, the company had compiled a total of 247 tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers who had received an ethical audit during the previous three years.
Moreover, an Annual Internal Audit Programme is carried out on-site among raw materials and packaging materials suppliers and subcontracted third parties. This program is part of the Integrated Management System, which includes quality management, good manufacturing practices, environmental protection, and occupational health and safety aspects. The approach to these audits is comprehensive, meaning that all aspects are assessed as a whole. In 2024, a total of 44 audits were carried out on suppliers and third parties, located in various markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Supplier Assessments
Every year Puig assesses suppliers' performance on ESG with two third-party ratings providers, EcoVadis and Sedex. These audits ensure suppliers comply with Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy.
Suppliers must respond to a questionnaire covering environmental, social, and governance topics, and they are provided with a score. Puig works with suppliers to ensure that none of them are rated as high risk, which in the case of Ecovadis means reaching a minimum score of 45/100.

The EcoVadis and Sedex assessments are aligned with the Puig Sustainable Sourcing Policy, and both seek to ensure respect for human rights and the implementation of health and safety measures.
Purchasing of Certified Raw Materials to Assure Compliance with Workers' Rights and Welfare
As part of the 2030 ESG Agenda, Puig is committed to purchasing palm oil and its derivatives from RSPO-certified sources, and cardboard and paper from FSC-certified sources. These two certifications guarantee the improvement of social and economic well-being of workers and ensure that they are treated fairly.
Collaboration with Recognized Partners
Puig believes in collective action to drive positive industry-wide change. For this reason, Puig has been collaborating for many years with organizations such as the Fair Labor Association (FLA), an international network that champions human rights in farms and factories worldwide to develop specific solutions to continuously improve labor standards within our industry's supply chain. In 2024 Puig has partnered with FLA on their Harvesting the Future initiative related to the supply chains of jasmine in Egypt and rose in Turkey, which brings together various stakeholders including brands, fragrance and flavor houses, processors, public institutions, farmers, and civil society organizations.
The initiative Harvesting the Future aims to develop concrete solutions to improve human rights continuously and promote decent working conditions in specific supply chains, in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO). In 202445:
- 1,008 seasonal migrant agricultural workers were trained.
- 88 farmer training sessions were conducted across 57 villages in 2024, with a total participation of 1,695 farmers.
- Women's meetings were held in multiple regions with a total participation of 885 women. Additionally, specific training sessions on breast health were conducted with 833 participants.
- Gender awareness sessions for men included 198 Turkish participants and 121 foreign nationals.
- 18 labor intermediaries were trained on child labor, decent work conditions, occupational safety and health, and the benefits of the agriculture labor intermediaries' certificate.
45 Source: FLA Presentation.

During 2024, as part of its sustainability journey and acknowledging the human rights risks and complexities of the mica supply chain, Puig became a member of the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI), a coalition that brings together around 100 leading organizations to drive positive change towards a fair, responsible, and sustainable mica supply chain in India and Madagascar.
Puig has joined The Value of Beauty Alliance which brings together a number of well-known companies and organizations representing the European beauty value chain. Its goal is to raise awareness of the positive impact that the beauty and personal care industry has in Europe both at an economic and societal level. The Alliance met in Brussels with key stakeholders from the European Union institutions to introduce and discuss a new report titled 'What is the Value of Beauty', offering key figures and insights into the industry's diverse ecosystem and its major economic and societal contributions.
Puig firmly believes that it is important to address systemic challenges collectively throughout the industry's supply chains to support and sustain rather than exclude communities.
Ensure traceability to guarantee social conditions
Working to ensure traceability indirectly fosters commitment with workers in the value chain, as most relevant certifications also assess working conditions. In 2024 Puig joined the Transparency-One Supply Chain Network, which will facilitate the mapping of the supply chains of materials; a key step to then analyzing ESG risks and implementing the Ethical Auditing Program.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.
No incidents of human rights or severe human rights violations have been reported during 2024.

Targets impacting People in the Value Chain
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones if necessary. The targets already established are46:
| Target | Scope | Baseline value |

7.3 Consumers and End-Userss


Material IRO related to Consumers and End-Users
Puig's Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) included the identification of actual and potential material impacts on consumers and end-users. The assessment covers Puig's direct operations, products, and value chain, including business relationships, product safety, marketing practices, and consumer rights. During the Double Materiality Assessment, consumers have been analyzed as a single group, with no particular considerations given to their location, vulnerability, or purchasing power.
Puig's approach ensures that all consumers and end-users likely to be materially impacted are considered in this disclosure, reflecting both positive and negative effects that arise from the company's strategy and business model.
Puig identified the following potential impacts, risks, and opportunities connected to its downstream operations.
Positive impacts
- Raising public awareness about the impacts of the retail sector. A shift in consumer behavior can drive the industry towards more ethical practices, encouraging companies to adopt greener technologies, fair labor practices, and transparent operations.
- Contributing to an increased awareness of discrimination and social inclusion in the fashion and beauty industries (e.g. plus sizes, gender diversity, different generations, etc.). Puig can attract new customers by addressing the specific needs of various population segments. This inclusivity not only meets the needs of diverse consumers but also demonstrates Puig's commitment to equality and social responsibility.
Negative impacts
- The use by Puig of chemicals of concern in its products has the potential to negatively impact the health of consumers.
- Inaccurate or insufficient product labeling (i.e. greenwashing), and misleading marketing communication with consumers (including information related to product ingredients), may harm the health of specific group of consumer (e.g. people with allergies and intolerances).
Risk
• Failing to adapt to consumer demand for increased labelling and marketing transparency and/or making misleading statements through inaccurate or insufficient product labeling and misleading marketing communication with consumers (including information related to product ingredients) may lead to penalties, litigation, and other financial losses.

Opportunity
• Prioritization of customer satisfaction and interaction (i.e. loyalty programs) presents a significant opportunity for Puig to build strong, loyal customer relationships. Exceptional customer service can lead to increased customer retention, positive word-of-mouth referrals, and enhanced brand reputation.
All material negative impacts are potential and therefore considered systemic and widespread and not tied to specific incidents, products, or business relationships. All impacts, risks and opportunities identified as material are considered to be linked to a dependence on our consumers, given that a decrease in sales can have a direct effect on the permanence of the business model.

Policies related to Consumers and End-Users
Puig's approach to managing the material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to consumers and end-users is deeply embedded in its Ethical Code and Responsible Marketing Policy. These policies reflect the company's efforts to ensuring responsible business conduct, respecting consumer rights, and aligning with internationally recognized human rights and ethical business standards.
Puig Ethical Code
Puig's Ethical Code serves as the foundation for its business principles and ethical commitments, guiding the company's interactions with consumers and end-users. This Code establishes clear expectations for all employees and business partners, ensuring that Puig's commercial activities adhere to the highest ethical and legal standards.
The detailed explanation of the policy is developed in the Puig Core Corporate Policies and Business Conduct Policies and Culture sections, including, among others topics, Puig's commitments to respecting the human rights of all stakeholders, as well as the reporting mechanisms and measures for mitigating potential negative impacts related to human rights.
In reference to our consumers and end-users, it should be noted that the Ethical Code mandates that all product information, marketing, and advertising efforts must be substantiated, truthful and fair, preventing any form of deceptive or misleading communication. Puig upholds a clear commitment to ensuring that advertising materials never intentionally mislead consumers, reinforcing trust and credibility in its brand messaging.
Consumer safety and well-being are top priorities for Puig. As outlined in the Puig Ethical Code, the company ensures that all products meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and industrial excellence. Beyond regulatory compliance, Puig actively works to minimize environmental and social impact throughout the entire product lifecycle.
The company strictly follows data protection regulations in all markets where it operates, collecting and processing only the necessary consumer data for legitimate business purposes while implementing robust security measures to safeguard personal information.
To uphold these ethical principles, Puig maintains a secure and confidential Reporting Channel, allowing consumers to report potential breaches related to ethical practices while ensuring anonymity and protection them from retaliation.

Responsible Marketing Policy
In addition to the Ethical Code, Puig has developed a Responsible Marketing Policy which outlines specific principles for engaging with consumers in a fair, ethical, and transparent manner. This policy ensures that Puig's marketing efforts are aligned with international best practices and industry self-regulation guidelines, fostering responsible communication across all consumer touchpoints.
A key focus of this policy is to promote a consumer-centric approach, ensuring that all marketing materials are designed to respect consumer rights and wellbeing. Puig takes particular care to avoid any advertising or messaging that could be misleading, harmful, or discriminatory. The company also recognizes the importance of protecting vulnerable consumer groups such as minors, and actively avoids marketing strategies that could exploit their sensitivities.
Sustainability plays an important role in Puig's marketing approach. The company integrates its commitment to environmental and social responsibility into its brand messaging, ensuring that sustainability claims are accurate, transparent, and verifiable. By doing so, Puig aims to foster responsible consumption while reinforcing its dedication to ethical business practices.

Processes for Engaging with Consumers and End-Users about Impacts
Puig employs multiple methodologies to engage with consumers and endusers, ensuring their perspectives are integrated into decision-making and that potential impacts are assessed:
- Consumer Surveys: Regularly conducted to gather feedback on products and services.
- Focus Groups: Used as a qualitative method to discuss experiences and expectations with diverse consumer segments.
- Product Testing and Trials: Pre-launch tests with a diverse group of consumers to evaluate product performance and user experience.
- Social Media Engagement: Continuous monitoring through Radarly, a social listening tool, to understand consumer sentiment.
Global Insight is responsible for conducting the consumer surveys, while the Consumer Engagement team (led the Global Consumer Engagement General Manager) manages social media engagement and Consumer Care (led by the Consumer Care Director) handles customer service channels.
Outputs from these group-level engagements are transferred to the brands, which are responsible for implementing changes based on the feedback received.
Engagement occurs directly with end-consumers through various touchpoints:
- Before product launch: Consumer studies assess behavior, motivations, and needs.
- During pre-testing: Sniff tests and product tests validate acceptance.
- Post-launch: Continuous monitoring through consumer feedback and brand perception studies.
Puig also integrates specific ESG-related attributes into its brand love tracking study to measure perceptions of sustainability and social responsibility.
The frequency of engagement is as follows:
- Product development tests are conducted before each launch.
- Brand perception tracking is performed annually across eight markets.
- Social media engagement is continuous (24/7 monitoring).
Effectiveness of the engagement is tracked through KPI monitoring in regular tracking studies (monthly, yearly), Social Listening to measure sentiment trends and volume of consumer feedback, Consumer Care performance assessment, leveraging external partners (e.g., Zendesk) and an ongoing Trustpilot pilot project to evaluate Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Processes to Remedy Negative Impacts for Consumers and End-Users
At Puig, ensuring consumer safety and satisfaction is a priority. The company has established clear processes to identify, assess, and remedy potential negative impacts related to its products, as well as multiple channels for consumers to raise concerns. These mechanisms are designed to provide timely responses, ensure transparency, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Our main mechanism for raising concerns and remedying negative impacts is the Reporting Channel, which is based on the Puig Ethical Code. This channel operates with the highest standards of confidentiality, ensuring privacy, protection against retaliation, and a prompt, thorough response to all reports..Through its corporate website, Puig makes the Reporting Channel available to its consumers and end users. More explanations can be found in the Puig Reporting Channel section.
Additionally, Puig's cosmetic and fragrance products are subject to strict regulations to ensure their human and environmental safety. As part of these quality and safety standards, Puig has dedicated channels for monitoring product quality, as well as for identifying and addressing any potential undesired effects.
Puig adheres to international safety standards, including EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, which creates a basis for a uniform approach to the management of Serious Undesirable Effects caused by the use of cosmetics (Article 23, Chapter VII).
The company conducts global market surveillance to monitor product safety and prevent risks. If an undesired effect is reported, the findings are incorporated into the Cosmetic Product Safety Report. Corrective measures and information to prevent repetition proportional to the nature and/or frequency of the undesirable effects may be taken. In severe cases, corrective measures—such as product reformulation and/or withdrawal from the market may be implemented, although this has never been required. The company ensures that all complaints are logged, analyzed, and resolved through standardized procedures.
Consumers can contact Puig through various channels, including:
- Chat, telephone, website, email, and social media.
- Dedicated "Contact Us" sections on Puig and brand websites.
- Hotlines and Quality in Markets and Logistics inboxes.
The first response time is within 48 hours, ensuring prompt communication.

Processes for Handling Consumer Complaints and Reports
Puig has three key sub-processes to handle consumer concerns:
-
- General Queries: Queries are received, reviewed, and responded to through Puig's consumer service teams.
-
- Product Complaints.
- Issues are registered and analyzed.
- If needed, a product recovery process is initiated.
- Consumers are informed of investigation results.
-
- Cosmetic Surveillance (Cosmetovigilance).
- Spontaneous reports of undesirable effects from consumers, healthcare professionals, and authorities are collected, assessed, and monitored.
- Serious cases undergo causality assessment and may be reported to regulatory bodies.
- Puig ensures regulatory compliance and consumer data protection at every stage.
Puig evaluates consumer awareness and trust in its reporting mechanisms through ongoing surveys and feedback mechanisms. To ensure effectiveness of its processes, Puig actively monitor all reported cases. When an undesirable effect is identified, the team responsible promptly contacts the consumer with a detailed questionnaire to assess the situation and conduct a thorough causality analysis. Based on the findings, the necessary corrective measures are implemented.
While Puig already maintains robust mechanisms for handling consumer concerns, the company remains committed to enhancing its processes continuously by incorporating new technologies and best practices to improve safety, transparency, and consumer trust.

Actions on Consumer and End-User Material Impacts
At Puig, ensuring the safety and well-being of our consumers is a fundamental priority. Throughout 2024, we have maintained rigorous measures to prevent and mitigate any potential risks, dependencies and potential negative impacts associated with our products, while also seizing opportunities to enhance consumer trust and experience.
We have continued our commitment to certifying our facilities based on rigorous quality standards. As a result, the Kama Ayurveda production plant in Coimbatore (India) and its offices in Noida (India) have been certified with ISO 9001:2015. They join the Puig's list of five previously certified sites, further strengthening its dedication to operational excellence (more information can be found in the Annexes chapter, ISO Standards section).
Throughout 2024, Puig have continued to ensure the best implementation of quality standards across its fragrance and cosmetic product manufacturing processes. These stringent quality controls ensure the highest standards of safety, efficacy, and excellence in every formulation.
Rigorous Selection of Raw Materials
- Assessment of each ingredient to ensure safety and compliance with the highest global safety standards.
- All raw materials used in Puig products are purchased from trusted international manufacturers and tested, prior to use, in conformity with the company's Quality Control Laboratory.
- All ingredients in Puig products are ones with a long history of use in cosmetic products, and whenever feasible, at the concentrations used, always have an adequate Margin of Safety
Product Safety Evaluation and Control
- All finished products are individually assessed as safe based on their composition, exposure, and frequency of use.
- A Margin of Safety (MoS) is calculated,ensuring it remains well above the required threshold.All Puig products are manufactured and controlled in conformity with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) following the UNE-EN ISO 22716 standard.
In Vitro and Clinical Safety Testing
- Conducting safety tests in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
- Performing clinical trials in compliance with Good Clinical Practices (GCP).
- Continuous monitoring of final formulas' safety after they reach the market.
In addition, during the year Puig approved its Responsible Marketing Policy (explained above), which sets new and ambitious commitments to ensure proper communication between Puig and its consumers.

Evaluating Puig's Action Plan
Puig continuously monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of its initiatives through the feedback collected via the engagement mechanisms and reporting channels mentioned earlier in this chapter. The insights obtained from the surveys allow Puig to assess changes in consumer perception of the brand, while specific cases reported through the various channels enable us to take more targeted actions.
Puig is in the process of realigning the mid- and long-term stages of its action plan with the conclusions of the double materiality assessment completed in November 2024.
No relevant use of OpEx and CapEx has been identified for the current action plan.
No consumer complaints have been received that have been categorized as human rights violations.

Time-Bound and Outcome-Oriented Targets
Puig is committed to continuously enhancing its formulations by integrating a greater proportion of natural ingredients. The company recognizes nature as a source of high-quality and sustainable alternatives that meet consumer expectations. By embracing this approach, Puig elevates the sensory experience of its cosmetics and fragrances while reinforcing its dedication to responsible sourcing and sustainability. The Puig 2030 ESG Agenda reflects the growing demands of consumers towards ethical purchasing and to minimize any potential impact on health.
Following the double materiality process completed in November 2024, Puig is reassessing its strategic targets to align them with its material IROs and to develop additional ones, if necessary. The already established targets are presented below47 .
| Target | Scope | Baseline year |
Target year | Progress 2024 |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2030 ESG Agenda targets | |||||||
| (N/A targets do not refer to an initial value; the base year only identifies the start year of the plan) | |||||||
| 90% natural origin ingredients as average of all fragrances and skincare formulas |
Global | 2022 | 2030 | 85.26 % |
The targets do not refer to an initial value; the base year only identifies the start year of the plan. No direct engagement with employees has been conducted for setting this targets.
47 The methodology to define the targets has taken into account internal consultation with different departments of the company, the understanding of the business and historical data. If not explained, no science-based methodology has been followed.
8 Governance


Material IROs related to Business Conduct
Puig's assessment of business conduct impacts, risks, and opportunities follows a structured Double Materiality Assessment (DMA). This process identifies material topics related to business ethics, anti-corruption, responsible lobbying, and fair competition.
The process for identifying and assessing material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to business conduct follows the same methodology outlined in ESRS 2, without any specific variations or additional criteria beyond those already established for the overall double materiality assessment.
Two risks have been identified during the process:
Non-compliance with laws and regulations could lead to increased compliance costs, loss of financial incentives, stakeholders dissatisfaction, reputational damage and fines or penalties.
Violations of anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and payments-transparency laws with regards to suppliers and the selection of buyers and allocation of sales contracts, which can involve bribery and conflicts of interest, could lead to significant one-time costs, higher ongoing compliance costs, and/or reputational harm for Puig.

Involvement of the Supervisory Bodies in defining the Business Culture
Puig upholds ethical business conduct through its Ethical Code, a cornerstone of the company's governance and sustainability framework. As the foundation of Puig's regulatory structure, it sets clear principles of integrity, transparency, and respect.These values are further reinforced by other policies, such as the Compliance and Crime Prevention Policy, designed to ensure adherence to ethical standards and mitigate risks such as corruption and fraud.
The Board of Directors, supported by the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee, has the mission of overseeing the implementation of these principles. These supervisory bodies ensure compliance with regulations, proactively monitor risks, and align Puig business practices with its sustainability commitments.
The Board of Directors, composed of leaders with extensive expertise in compliance, ethics, and sustainability, works to uphold Puig Ethical Code, fostering ethical practices throughout the organization. As supporting bodies of the Board of Directors, the Audit and Compliance Committee focuses on regulatory adherence and risk management and the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee integrates governance with Puig environmental and social objectives. Both bodies are composed of independent directors.
The Chief Compliance Officer, reporting to the Audit and Compliance Committee, oversees the implementation of the company's compliance model, ensuring its effective execution while proactively addressing risks. In 2024, two members of the compliance team, including the Chief Compliance Officer, achieved the CESCOM certification, issued by ASCOM, Spain's Compliance Association, which covers essential topics such as regulatory frameworks, corporate governance, risk management, data protection, anti-corruption measures, and ethical compliance.

Business Conduct Policies and Culture
The Puig culture, the company's purpose, values, and the behaviors expected from employees, which uphold and transmit this unique way of doing business, the Puig way- are all described in the Puig Ethical Code and is rooted in curiosity, enthusiasm, and entrepreneurial audacity.
This Ethical Code is an essential tool in safeguarding and reinforcing these values, ensuring that every decision aligns with the company's long-term vision. As a living document, it is reviewed periodically to adapt to the company's evolving needs and the changing global landscape, ensuring that Puig remains a responsible and forward-thinking organization.
The Ethical Code underscores Puig's ambition to sustainable growth, ensuring that business success goes hand in hand with respect for people and the planet. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it sets out clear principles for reducing environmental impact, fostering strong community relationships, and creating long-term value for society. It also reinforces Puig's dedication to diversity, inclusion, and human rights, guaranteeing equal opportunities and ethical labor practices across all operations.
The company requires all employees to complete an online Ethical Code training course in which the contents of the Ethical Code are explained and explored through a series of business-related scenarios. At the end of the training, employees must confirm their acceptance of the Ethical Code.
The Ethics Home internal site provides employees with a single destination where the company's culture, expressed through its internal regulatory architecture, is presented and explained. This site brings together the Ethical Code, corporate policies, the Reporting Channel, and a series of messages from the Chairman and CEO which explain the company's culture and the purpose of the Ethical Code. To ensure maximum engagement with Puig employees around the world, the training is offered in 19 languages, as are the principle company standards such as the core corporate policies and the Ethical Code itself.
The Corporate Communication area, working with the compliance function, ensures that senior managers, led by the Chairman and CEO, take advantage of their leadership roles to continually sponsor, promote, and commit to the company's culture, expressed through the various initiatives relating to ethical business. On average, each employee received at least one such message per month in 2024.
The Puig Anticorruption Policy is designed to prevent, detect, and address any acts of corruption or bribery across the organization. This policy strictly forbids all forms of corruption, including but not limited to bribery, facilitation payments, and fraudulent practices. The policy reflects the core principles of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).
Puig continuously strengthens its policy by exploring enhancements that align more closely with global best practices.

Puig Reporting Channel
The Puig Reporting Channel reflects the company's firm dedication to ensuring ethical conduct, transparency, and human rights, as outlined in the Ethical Code, Human Rights Policy, and Reporting Channel Policy and Procedure. It is a fundamental pillar of the Puig speak up culture, offering a secure, confidential, and independent mechanism for employees, business partners, value chain workers, consumers, and other stakeholders to report unethical conduct, violations of the Ethical Code, internal policies, or applicable laws.
Managed by an independent third party (NAVEX), the channel ensures the confidentiality and anonymity of reporters while upholding the integrity and protection of personal data.
The Reporting Channel serves as a trusted avenue for Puig employees to voice concerns about workplace misconduct or potential human rights violations, while also extending to value chain workers and providing them with a reliable mechanism to report unethical practices or adverse impacts. Furthermore, it allows consumers and end-users to raise issues related to product safety, ethical business practices, or other concerns, reinforcing Puig's commitment to trust and accountability across all stakeholder groups.
The channel is fully aligned with Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Spanish Law 2/2023, of February 20, which regulate the protection of individuals who report regulatory violations and address the fight against corruption and in practice, if necessary, depending on the place where the events occurred, it complies with any other requirements arising from local legislation.
Among the guarantees established by the Reporting Channel Policy and Procedures are:
-
- Confidentiality: the identity of the reporter, any third parties mentioned, and actions taken during the investigation are kept confidential.
-
- Anonymity: Reports can be made anonymously and they will be treated with the same consideration as those made without anonymity.
-
- Protection from retaliation: anyone making a report in good faith is protected from any type of retaliation, discrimination, or penalization as a consequence of the report made.
-
- Independence of the reporting systems: The channel operates independently and with the oversight of the Chief Compliance Officer and is accessible to all stakeholders via a secure online platform. This ensures impartial management of reports and regular updates to Puig Board of Directors and Audit and Compliance Committee.
These principles ensure adherence to the highest standards of legal compliance and ethical integrity.
Reports are acknowledged within seven days and are typically resolved within three months, extendable to six months for complex cases. All activity related to a case reported on the Reporting Channel is duly recorded on the Navex platform, which provides a register of its content, ownership, and date.

Puig also promotes regular training sessions and communication initiatives to ensure all stakeholders are aware of reporting procedures and their associated rights.
By addressing concerns raised by employees, value chain workers, and consumers alike, Puig fosters an ethical culture that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and respect for human rights. This inclusive framework strengthens trust across its ecosystem and reinforces Puig's dedication to sustainable and responsible business practices.
Training in Puig's Policies
New training initiatives are developed each year. They are prioritized and offered globally or to specific parts of the organization depending on the risk profile determined by the managers responsible for each area of compliance risk.
Ethical Code Training
The Puig Ethical Code outlines the company's dedication to providing employees with continuous training on Puig values.
The Ethical Code online training launched in 2024 presents the Code in a simple and visually appealing way and then challenges employees to demonstrate a basic understanding of how to apply the Code by using its principles to make appropriate ethical choices in a range of professional situations. The training reinforces the importance of speaking up when breaches of the Code are suspected, and the use of the Reporting Channel.
The training includes the formal acceptance of Code, a focus on situations of particular relevance in the context of the company's newly listed status (e.g. anti-corruption, data protection, company reputation, etc.). It is available in all Puig business units' main languages (19 in all), and takes an average of 30 minutes to complete.
All new Puig employees are required to complete the Ethical Code training as part of their induction process, and third-party suppliers are also required to accept the content of the Code.
ESG Training
The ESG training was launched in 2022 to all Puig employees, and new employees (except from Charlotte Tilbury, Uriage and Apivita) are currently required to complete it during their induction period. The training focuses on a presentation of the Puig 2030 ESG Agenda and themes covered by the ESG Policy, with an emphasis on the environmental pillar.
Antitrust Training
The Antitrust training was launched in 2023 to present and explain the Antitrust Policy to a cohort of employees selected with regard to their potential exposure to antitrust risk; specifically those handling sensitive Puig commercial information, those in contact with Puig clients and competitors, and senior management. The training was prepared internally with external advice and focuses on a presentation of antitrust legislation and risk.

Cybersecurity Training
Cybersecurity awareness training, exploring issues covered by the Information Security Policy, consisted of a series of 16 posts in 2024. They were prepared by an external agency specializing in cybersecurity training.
The posts were published regularly during the year 2024 aiming to create awareness of cybersecurity risks and share best practices and tips to help employees protect themselves and the company. New awareness actions will be offered again in 2025.
High-Risk Functions in Corruption and Bribery
No specific risk analysis has been conducted for any particular position or department; therefore Puig cannot provide this information in detail, without prejudice to analyzing the implementation of an action plan for these purposes. However, it should be noted that during 2024 all employees received anticorruption and bribery training.
Management of Relationships with Suppliers
Guided by the Puig Ethical Code and Sustainable Sourcing Policy, the company cultivates partnerships that align with its sustainability ambitions while ensuring compliance and adherence to international standards. While Puig has not established a policy explicitly targeting supplier payments, the organization is committed to meeting all applicable legal obligations, ensuring fairness and transparency in its procurement processes.
Social and Environmental Criteria in Supplier Selection
Puig embeds sustainability into its procurement strategy by integrating social and environmental criteria into supplier selection and evaluation processes. The Sustainable Sourcing Policy mandates that suppliers:
- Uphold human rights and adopt fair labor practices, including the prohibition of forced labor, child labor, and discrimination.
- Ensure environmentally responsible operations by maintaining required certifications, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, and adhering to sustainable sourcing standards.
- Embrace transparency and compliance with Puig's governance standards, including adherence to anti-corruption practices and data protection requirements.
Complementing the policy principles and to take account of risks related to its supply chain, Puig has a supplier audit program that contains sustainability criteria (more information can be found in the People in the Value Chain chapter, Supplier Assessments section).

Policies Supporting Supplier Relationships
Puig requires suppliers to comply with its sustainability standards, enforceable through contracts. Non-compliance may lead to corrective action plans, and persistent breaches can result in termination of the business relationship.
Suppliers are also encouraged to adopt continuous improvement practices, particularly in areas of environmental management, renewable energy adoption, and resource efficiency.
Prevention and Detection of Corruption or Bribery
The Ethical Code outlines the company's zero tolerance for corrupt business practices, with this principle further detailed in the company's Anticorruption Policy, defined as a core corporate policy. The principles of the Anticorruption Policy are explained in the Ethical Code training, and scenarios relating to conflicts of interest and facilitation payments are included.
The identification and management of risks related to corruption and bribery is a cornerstone of Puig compliance framework defined by the Puig Anticorruption Policy, ensuring proactive risk mitigation across all operations and a comprehensive system to prevent, detect, investigate, and resolve incidents of corruption and bribery has been designed. In this sense, preventive actions are put in place through the deployment of specific controls assigned to owners both at global and local levels to address corruption and bribery.
On the other hand, the Puig Reporting Channel serves as the primary and secure mechanism for reporting such incidents. All cases are handled by the Corporate Compliance area, a function that operates autonomously and solely reporting to the Audit and Compliance Committee. This governance structure guarantees the independence of investigations and ensures fairness throughout the process.
Significant findings are escalated to the Audit and Compliance Committee, ensuring oversight and accountability, and other operational areas should have measures implemented.
The Anticorruption Policy itself is publicly available on the Puig website and on the Navex platform which hosts the company's Reporting Channel, and employees can also access it on the internal Ethics Home internal site.
Third-party suppliers are required to accept the principles of the Anticorruption Policy when they sign the Sustainable Sourcing Policy as part of the vendor registration process.
The company's non-tolerance of corrupt business practices is described in the Ethical Code training which includes sections specifically related to anticorruption. In addition, the Chairman and CEO and other senior managers regularly sponsor, promote, and restate the Puig commitment to ethical business including the fight against corruption.
The company is currently developing training specifically dedicated to anticorruption, and this training will be offered to employees during the course of 2025.

Incidents of Corruption or Bribery
There have been no convictions or fines related to violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws during 2024.
However, minor gaps have been detected in Puig's anti-corruption and antibribery procedures and standards. The company has taken specific actions to address them with the purpose of upholding its commitment to operating under the highest ethical standards and preventing future occurrences.
In particular, such actions can be summarized as follows:
- Adoption of disciplinary measures.
- Review of policies and of control processes.
Payment Practices
Puig's approach to supplier management is rooted in compliance with the Directive 2011/7/EU, which governs payment terms in the European Union. As most of Puig's entities operate within the EU, the company adheres to a standard payment framework of 60 days. While Puig does not maintain a global policy explicitly targeting supplier payments, the organization ensures meeting all applicable legal obligations, promoting fairness and transparency in its procurement processes.
The average payment period to suppliers of Spanish companies is 52 days. Puig does not report this metric at group level nor the number of days by main category of suppliers and the percentage of payments aligned with standard payment terms
As of the end of 2024, there were no outstanding legal proceedings for late payments at Puig.

Information on Respect for Human Rights
The Puig Reporting Channel reflects the company's firm dedication to ensuring ethical behavior, transparency, and human rights, as outlined in its Ethical Code, Human Rights Policy, and Reporting Channel Policy and Procedure. It is a fundamental pillar of the Puig speak up culture, offering a secure, confidential, and independent mechanism for employees, business partners, value chain workers, consumers, and other stakeholders to report unethical conduct, violations of the Ethical Code, internal policies, or applicable laws.
During 2023, a total of 30 reports were received. No human rights violations cases were reported.
In 2023, Puig implemented a new platform managed by NAVEX, introducing an additional layer of security to the administration of the Reporting Channel. As part of this transition, the methodology for reporting cases submitted through the Puig Reporting Channel was restructured in 2024 to align with NAVEX's framework.
This new approach categorizes reports based on Risk Category and Risk Type, as defined by NAVEX, allowing for a more precise, transparent, and standardized assessment of reported cases. By adopting this methodology,

Puig benefits from benchmarking insights provided by NAVEX to continuously improve the effectiveness of the Reporting Channel.
All cases are classified according to the categorization and risk types established by Navex. Subsequently, the reports are examined and potentially investigated, circumstances that may lead to a possible reclassification, regardless of the initial classification of the facts made by the reporter. The information presented in this report is the result of this reclassification, in its case.
During 2024, one of the complaints received was categorized as a human rights violation complaint (Harassment category). The same case has been reported in section Incidents, Complaints and Severe Human Rights Impacts

Actions to Generate Impact on Society
Puig seeks to maximize its ability to generate social impact, not only through economic contributions but also by expanding the impact of its initiatives, as the examples below demonstrate.
Conscious Living Event
Puig began the year by highlighting the power of collective action through its inaugural global digital Conscious Living event. This gathering brought together employees worldwide to reinforce the company's sustainability ambitions and foster a deeper understanding of the impact of individual and collective actions.
The event served as a platform to outline Puig's ambitious social and environmental objectives, presenting a clear roadmap toward a more sustainable business. Employees also gained insights into the importance of adopting a more conscious way of living and the value of collaboration in driving meaningful change for both people and the planet.
Championing Women's Inclusion in Sailing
In 2024, as the title sponsor of the first-ever Puig Women's America's Cup, the company played a pivotal role in advancing women's inclusion in sailing. This historic event not only brought women's sailing to the global stage but also inspired the next generation of female sailors.
A transformative milestone in the 173-year history of the America's Cup, the competition underscored both Puig's and the event's shared commitment to gender inclusion in sailing. More than 70 female sailors, representing 12 countries competed, marking a significant step toward greater equality in the sport.
Co-creating with Social Organizations
Invisible Beauty Program and Makers
The Invisible Beauty program was created in 2014 as part of the founding family's desire to leave a better world, embodying Puig's purpose while aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promoting values such as well-being, confidence, and self-expression.
Within this program, Makers shines as a standout initiative. Over eight editions, it has significantly contributed to advancing Puig's purpose and the ambitious goals outlined in its 2030 ESG Agenda. Through Makers, Puig aims to share its expertise and successful business model with social projects that can benefit from its experience, empowering them to make a greater impact on people, society, and the planet.

The initiative is open to entrepreneurs, social enterprises, associations, organizations, and foundations that align with the company's values and work on causes related to the purposes of Puig and its brands.
Makers provides a valuable experience not only for the employees involved whether voting on project selection or working together on the projects—but also for the brands and social organizations that benefit from the support.
Mentoring Matters Partnership
As a result of the 8th edition of Makers, and thanks to the employees who volunteered as mentors, Puig identified an opportunity to establish a long-term alliance with one of the participants: Mentoring Matters, a global non-profit organization dedicated to fostering strong mentoring initiatives for talented youth in multicultural creative industries.
This initiative is led by Rabanne, marking the beginning of a multi-year collaboration to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the creative field. Puig employees will play an active role in this collaboration, contributing their expertise and mentorship to support emerging talent.
Mentoring Matters works to create equal access to paid job opportunities for individuals from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds. Through personalized mentoring programs, they support candidates and connect them with a network of employers offering paid roles, helping to shape a more inclusive future.
Purpose-Driven Love Brands
Puig's Love Brands are committed to driving meaningful change through collaborations with NGOs, associations, and social initiatives. Some examples:
- Carolina Herrera Fosters female creativity through its Women in the Arts initiative, supporting women across all artistic disciplines with scholarships, training, and exposure. Key programs include a four-year fashion scholarship at the New York Fashion Institute of Technology, coding courses for young women, sponsorship of exhibitions featuring women artists, and the Walk Tall podcast, which empowers future leaders. The brand has also collaborated with Mexican artisans for Resort 2025 and recently launched two fine arts scholarships at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) in Milan and Rome. Additionally, Carolina Herrera is preparing the first-ever exhibition dedicated to contemporary Latin American women artists in Argentina, set to take place at the Sívori Museum.
- Charlotte Tilbury Committed to fostering confidence in aspiring young entrepreneurs of diverse backgrounds and improving access to employment opportunities for everyone through its support for The King's Trust. This has been achieved through a series of mentoring workshops hosted by Charlotte Tilbury executives for The King's Trust Enterprise Programme and hiring talent through the Get Hired Programme.
- Jean Paul Gaultier Remains steadfast in its long-standing mission to celebrate diversity and inclusion in all its forms—all cultures, all bodies, all genders—a value deeply embedded in the brand's DNA since 1976. From

Key highlights are the donations to 15 LGBTQI+ associations during Pride Month, artisan support in Mexico (Día de Los Muertos) and the partnership with Villa Lena in Italy, an artistic residency supporting emerging Black queer artists in Europe.
- Rabanne Supporting young talents by coaching them to enter a creative workplace with a long-term partnership with Mentoring Matters, as a result of the Puig's Makers initiative under the Invisible Beauty program.

Regarding Appendix B, no connection has been identified between EU legislation and Puig's reporting. The analysis of SFDR, Pillar 3, Benchmark Regulation, and the EU Climate Law shows that none of these regulations directly apply to Puig. SFDR applies to financial market participants, requiring sustainability disclosures. Pillar 3 (CRR) concerns banks and investment firms, not corporate entities like Puig. Benchmark Regulation governs financial indices and does not directly affect Puig unless it is included in a regulated benchmark. EU Climate Law sets the framework for EU climate goals but does not impose direct obligations on companies.

1 Letter from the Chair of the ARC


Dear shareholder,
As the Chair of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee ("ARC"), I am pleased to present the inaugural Annual Directors' Remuneration Report ("Report") for Puig Brands, S.A. ("Puig" or the "company"), following our recent listing on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. This marks a significant milestone in our company's journey, and this Report is a testament to our commitment to transparency, accountability, and alignment with our shareholders' interests.
Significant milestones in 2024
The year 2024 was particularly significant for Puig as it marked our transition to a publicly listed company. In addition to the usual fixed and variable remuneration elements, several pre-IPO incentives vested upon our IPO. This unique situation required careful consideration and management to ensure that our remuneration practices remained fair and aligned with shareholder interests.
Furthermore, to acknowledge the extraordinary effort and commitment demonstrated during this pivotal period, the remuneration of some of our Non-Executive Directors for the year 2024 was increased due to their significant contributions.
Remuneration Policy for 2025
Looking ahead to 2025, our Directors' Remuneration Policy ("Remuneration Policy") for our Directors (including the Chairman and CEO) reflects an ordinary remuneration package that follows best practices and corporate governance recommendations. It has been meticulously designed to align with the pay-forperformance principle. The Remuneration Policy includes base salary, pension contributions equivalent to 30% of the base salary, a short-term incentive ("Short-Term Incentive" or STI") that represents 110% of the base salary in a target scenario, and a long-term incentive ("Long-Term Incentive" or "LTIP") that represents, in annualized terms, 220% of the base salary in a target scenario. Notably, around 75% of the remuneration package is composed of variable remuneration elements, emphasizing our commitment to performance-based compensation. Importantly, the design of the 2025 remuneration package for the Chairman and CEO is closely aligned with our overall management remuneration policy, ensuring consistency and fair application across the organization.
In developing this remuneration package, we have carefully considered the expectations of our shareholders. We believe that by prioritizing variable pay, with a focus on LTIP, we encourage our senior executives to focus on achieving outstanding performance and driving long-term value creation.
The Report provides detailed information about the LTIP plan that we will propose at the next General Shareholders' Meeting ("LTIP 2025-2029"). Highlights of this plan include a performance-share plan with three overlapping tranches, each with a three-year performance period. The metrics set for the first tranche are aligned with the company's long-term priorities, and we are confident that this plan will effectively motivate our senior executives to achieve key strategic goals while upholding our commitment to environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") principles.

The ARC continues to undertake a comprehensive review of the performance metrics used in our variable plans. As part of this commitment, we continue incorporating specific ESG metrics in both our short and long-term variable remuneration. These metrics will hold our senior executives accountable for making progress on key ESG initiatives. We believe that incorporating ESG goals into our remuneration structure will further align the interests of our senior executives with those of our broader stakeholder community.
ARC activities in 2024 and plans for 2025
Additionally, the Report outlines the work carried out by the ARC in 2024 and our plans for 2025. Over the past year, the committee has diligently reviewed and refined our remuneration policies to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with best practices. We have consulted with external advisors to ensure that we remain aligned with the highest standards of corporate governance.
In 2025, we plan to maintain our focus on enhancing the effectiveness of our remuneration policies. This includes maintaining an open and transparent dialogue with our investors, seeking their feedback and incorporating their insights into our decision-making processes.
Conclusion
Our approach to executive remuneration is underpinned by a philosophy of fairness, transparency, and alignment with shareholder interests. We have established a robust governance framework to oversee the implementation and administration of our remuneration policies. This includes regular reviews by the ARC and engagement with our shareholders to ensure that our remuneration practices remain aligned with best practices.
I would like to express my gratitude to my fellow committee members and the Board of Directors for their support and dedication. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in shaping our remuneration policies and ensuring their successful implementation. Together, we will continue to ensure that our remuneration policies not only support our strategic objectives but also reflect the values and aspirations of Puig.
We look forward to a successful year ahead and to sharing our ongoing progress with you.
Yours sincerely,
— Ángeles García-Poveda Morera Chair of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

3 Remuneration Policy applicable for 2025

The Directors' Remuneration Policy in force is the one approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting of 5 April 2024, and has validity from the date of Admission and throughout fiscal years 2025 and 2026.2
The Remuneration Policy has been designed based on the following goals:
- Attract, retain and motivate the contribution of the professionals that the company requires to cover the full spectrum of knowledge, skills and experience needed on its Board of Directors, thereby ensuring that it has access to suitable candidates to perform the duties of the position, according to the applicable regulations;
- Enhance the remuneration's coherence through effective risk management;
- Prevent possible conflicts of interest;
- Motivate and reinforce the attainment of the company's results;
- Define and control, in a clear and concise manner, the company's remuneration practices with respect to the members of its Board of Directors ("Board Members"); and
- Promote the long-term profitability and sustainability of the company, incorporating the necessary precautions to avoid excessive risk-taking and the rewarding of unfavorable results.
These goals are reflected in the following principles:
| Basic principles of the Remuneration Policy | Non-Executive Directors |

|---|---|---|
| Remuneration must be sufficient and appropriate to the dedication, qualifications and responsibilities of the Board Members, but such remuneration must not compromise their independence of judgment. |

- Restatement of the company's financial statements for reasons other than a change in the applicable accounting standards.
- Where the Chairman and CEO has been sanctioned for a serious breach of the code of conduct and other applicable internal regulations, or for a serious breach of the duties and legislation applicable to him.
- When it becomes evident that the settlement of the variable remuneration item in question took place totally or partially based on information that is then manifestly demonstrated to be false or seriously inaccurate, or based on other circumstances not foreseen or assumed by the company, which have a material adverse impact on the income statements.
- When the external auditor of the company includes qualifications in its report that reduce the results taken into consideration to determine the amount of the variable remuneration to be paid.
Compensation for termination of the contract
• The termination of the Chairman and CEO's contract by a unilateral decision of the company (or equivalent situations) will entitle the Chairman and CEO to receive compensation equivalent to two (2) annual payments of the fixed remuneration that he was receiving at the time of the termination of the contract, provided that the termination was not due to a breach of his duties and functions as executive director. The compensation will not be paid until the company has been able to verify that the criteria and conditions for its receipt have been met.

Commitment to hold shares
- In addition to the terms of any LTIP in which the Chairman and CEO participates, to ensure an adequate alignment with the interests of our shareholders, the Chairman and CEO must hold the company's shares, stock options or other financial instruments related to the remuneration plans for a period of at least three (3) years. An exception is granted with respect to this obligation if he maintains, at the time of the transfer or exercise, a net economic exposure to changes in the price of the shares for a market value equivalent to an amount of at least two (2) times that Chairman and CEO's annual fixed remuneration through the ownership of shares, stock options or other financial instruments.
- The above holding requirement will not apply to shares that the Chairman and CEO requires to dispose of to pay the costs related to their acquisition or, following a favorable opinion from the ARC, to meet the demands of any extraordinary situations that may require it.
- In any case, the ARC will periodically review compliance with the holding requirements.

B. Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors
As approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting of 5 April 2024, the maximum annual remuneration to be granted to Board Members, in their capacity as such, for their services to the Board of Directors and/or its respective Committees, will not exceed €3.5 million. This maximum amount will remain unchanged during the term of validity of the Remuneration Policy as long as the General Shareholders' Meeting does not approve its modification.
As of the date of this Report, and following the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2025, and upon a favorable report from the ARC, establishing the general parameters and the compensation amounts to be paid to Non-Executive Directors, they are entitled to the following fixed remuneration for 2025:
| Amounts in € | Board of Directors | Audit and Compliance Committee |
Appointments and Remuneration Committee |
Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chairman | 0 | 60,000 | 50,000 | 50,000 |

The Board of Directors, following a report from the ARC, may modify the above remuneration amounts within the limits of the maximum annual remuneration amount to be paid to all Board Members in their capacity as such approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
The above maximum limit does not include: (i) any salary, remuneration or payment made under any other concept to the Board Members and, in particular, for the performance of executive functions; (ii) payments of civil liability insurance premiums that the company may contract for its Board Members; and (iii) any reimbursement of current expenses incurred by the Board Members to attend meetings of the Board of Directors or any of its Committees.
This fixed remuneration may be paid in cash, shares of the company or shares or units ("participaciones sociales") of invested companies or a combination of both. If it is paid through the delivery of shares or units ("participaciones sociales"), it must be carried out according to the resolution of the General Shareholders' Meeting approved for such purpose.
Where the fixed remuneration described in this section is paid in shares of the company or, otherwise, the Board Members receive shares of the company as part of their remuneration, the Board Members shall hold them until they cease in their position as Board Member. The above shall not apply to any shares that the Board Member may be required to dispose of to pay the costs related to their acquisition, if applicable.

Where applicable, Board Members might receive per diems for the time dedicated to and attendance at the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees to which they belong.
Board Members will not receive in the current year any remuneration other than that accrued for the services rendered in their position. Likewise, no other remuneration other than the ones explained in this section is provided in the Remuneration Policy.
The granting of advance payments, loans or guarantees to Board Members is not covered in the Remuneration Policy.
4 Implementation of the Remuneration Policy in 2024

As mentioned previously on the Report, CNMV Circular 3/2021 states that "Companies that have started trading during the financial year in question will only provide information from the moment they are admitted to trading, clearly explaining this fact in the report."
As a result, in 2024, two periods can be distinguished for remuneration disclosure purposes:
- From 1 January to 3 May 2024 (Pre-Admission): Remuneration accrued in this period was already disclosed in the IPO Prospectus.
- From 3 May to 31 December 2024 (Post-Admission): Remuneration accrued in this period is disclosed in this section.
The Board of Directors has implemented the Remuneration Policy approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 5 April 2024, which entered into force upon Admission.
During 2024 there was no deviation from the procedure laid down for the application of the Remuneration Policy, the applicable limits were not exceeded and no temporary exceptions to the Remuneration Policy were applied.

A. Chairman and CEO Remuneration in 2024
Fixed elements
• For the period from 3 May to 31 December 2024, Mr. Marc Puig, as Chairman and CEO, was the only executive director in the company.

- The contribution in 2024 amounted to €438,048.
- As of 31 December 2024, the accumulated funds corresponding to the Chairman and CEO amounted to €3.33 Million.
- The characteristics of the pension scheme of the Chairman and CEO have been described in detail in section "Remuneration structure for the Chairman and CEO for 2025" of this Report.
Short-Term Incentive 2024 (STI 2024)
- For year 2024, the Chairman and CEO has been assigned a Short-Term Incentive equivalent to:
- Target: 110% of his Annual Fixed Remuneration, in the event of target achievement of objectives.
- Maximum: 200% of Target, in case of maximum achievement of objectives.
- The Board of Directors, at the proposal of the ARC, at its meeting held on 29 January 2024, agreed the metrics, weightings and performance scales that would determine the Chairman and CEO STI.

• Each metric has the following performance scale:
| Performance level | Payout level |
|---|---|
| Below threshold (1) | 0% |
| Threshold (2) | 50 % |
| Target (3) | 100 % |
| Maximum (4) | 200 % |
• The table below shows the result of the assessment carried out at the Board meeting held on 26 February 2025 in order to determine the amount of the STI 2024:
| Type of objective |
Metric | Weighting | Performance level | Outcome | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | ' | ƒ | " | ||||
| 0% | 50% | 100% | 200% | ||||
| Company | Adjusted EBITDA1 |
30 % | 60.00 % | ||||
| LfL Net Revenue2 |

1 Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDAAPM adjusted by excluding restructuring expenses, transaction costs and other non-recurring items, such as acquisition-related expenses of material transactions, gains and losses from the sale of businesses or real estate, and certain material non-operating items.
2 Like-for-Like Net Revenue: Reflects organic growth by adjusting net revenue for the impact of (i) changes in scope/ perimeter, by deducting from net revenue for the relevant year the amount of net revenue generated over the months during which the acquired entities/brands were not consolidated in the prior year and (ii) exchange rates fluctuations, calculated as the difference between net revenue for the relevant year at that year's exchange rates against the euro and net revenue in the that same year at the prior year's exchange rates against the euro, using the annual average exchange rate.
3 ESG: Be an ambassador of ESG priorities for 2024 within the framework of the 2030 Agenda and continue building the path towards the commitments made for 2030 (1.5ºC Paris Agreement, SBTs targets) and 2050 (net zero).
- Based on the foregoing, the ARC has determined an overall weighted payout level of 183.62% of Target.
- As a result, at the favorable recommendation of the ARC, the Board of Directors approved, at its meeting held on 26 February 2025, a Short-Term Incentive for the Chairman and CEO, corresponding to the period from 3 May 2024 until 31 December 2024, in the amount of €2,340,069.

- This remuneration will be paid in cash in March.

Long-Term Incentives
According to the provisions of the former incentive plans, after Admission:
- All the put options granted to the beneficiaries under the former incentive plans ceased to be effective. Accordingly, the Admission resulted in the entire cancellation of any liability related to the former incentive plans;
- A limited number of call options granted to some of the beneficiaries under the former incentive plans ceased to be effective. The call options that following Admission remain effective may be exercised by Puig over the Class B Shares that are subject to a lock-up restriction and during the period that such lock-up restriction applies; and
- As a result, the former incentive plans are effective only in respect of certain lock-up restrictions and the right of the company to exercise the call options granted by the beneficiaries over certain Class B Shares (the call options may be exercised during the same period that the lock-up restriction applies).
Additional information on the former incentive plans can be found in the Prospectus under the section "Board of Directors and Management", subsection "Management incentive plans".
Extraordinary incentive and awards
- According to the Remuneration Policy, the Chairman and CEO may receive extraordinary incentives, which will be approved by the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the ARC.
- On 19 March 2024, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the ARC, approved (i) an extraordinary award for all of the employees (including the Chairman and CEO, other Senior Officers and other key employees) (the "Offering Extraordinary Award"), in recognition for their contribution during all the years prior to the IPO helping Puig to succeed and position in the market; and (ii) an extraordinary incentive for our Chairman and CEO due to his extraordinary contribution in connection with the IPO. The amount corresponding to the Offering Extraordinary Award and the extraordinary incentive was paid in cash following Admission.
- The extraordinary incentive and Offering Extraordinary Award for the Chairman and CEO amounted to €9,266,400.

Basic conditions of the contract of the Chairman and CEO

Shareholding policy commitment
- The Chairman and CEO must hold the company's shares, stock options or other financial instruments related to the remuneration plans for a period of at least three (3) years. An exception is granted with respect to this obligation if the Board Member maintains, at the time of the transfer or exercise, a net economic exposure to changes in the price of the shares for a market value equivalent to an amount of at least two (2) times that Board Member's annual fixed remuneration through the ownership of shares, stock options or other financial instruments.

- Short-Term Incentive and
- Long-Term Incentive.
- In the case of the Chairman and CEO, under normal conditions, the longterm component accounts for a weight no less than 50% of their total remuneration in a scenario of target achievement of objectives (fixed + short-term variable + long-term variable).
- The LTIPs are part of a multi-annual framework in order to ensure that the assessment process is based on long-term profits and that the company's underlying economic cycle is taken into account. This remuneration is allocated and paid in the form of shares based on the creation of value, so that the senior executives' interests (including those of the Chairman and CEO) are in line with those of the shareholders. In addition, LTIPs are structured in overlapping cycles that generally follow one another indefinitely over time, with a permanent focus on the long-term in all decision-making.
- Under the Remuneration Policy, if the Chairman and CEO does not fulfill the commitment to permanently hold the shares, the retention period of the shares that, if any, the Chairman and CEO receives due to any variable remuneration component will be increased up to 3 years.
- A suitable balance between the fixed and variable components of the remuneration: the Chairman and CEO has a variable remuneration scheme that is fully flexible, which includes a minimum threshold below which no incentive is payable. The Short-Term Incentive and the LTIPs percentage can be relevant in the event of maximum objective performance. In any case, such percentage with respect to the total remuneration (considered as the Fixed Remuneration, Short-Term Incentive and annualized Long-Term Incentive) will not exceed 87.8%.
- Receiving 10% of both the Short-Term Incentive and the Long-Term Incentive is linked to ESG metrics.
- Furthermore, the Chair of the ARC also serves on the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee. The cross presence of the mentioned Board Member in these two Committees ensures the consideration of sustainability in the realm of remunerations.
- The total remuneration for the Chairman and CEO and senior executives consists of various components, mainly composed of the following:

Risk mitigation
- No guaranteed variable remuneration.
- The variable remuneration is only payable after the date the relevant annual accounts have been drawn up, once the achievement level of the operating and financial objectives can be determined.
- The ARC considers the quality of the results in the long-term and any associated risk in the evaluation process of variable remuneration.
- The design of the LTIPs, each one with three-year cycles, implies an interrelation with the results in each year, therefore acting as an alignment catalyst with the company's long-term interests and cautious decision-making.
- The ARC is required to report to the Board of Directors in the context of the Board of Directors' assessment on the application of malus and/or clawback clauses to the variable remuneration under certain circumstances.
- The Remuneration Policy contains specific and consistent clawback clauses, to be applied to any variable remuneration component. In this respect, in addition to adhering to recommendation 59 of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies when assessing the achievement of objective prior to the payment of variable remuneration, the possibility is established to fully recover any variable remuneration component within two (2) years after payment thereof (clawback), when certain exceptional situations arise that affect the company's results or are related to the Chairman and CEO's inappropriate conduct.
- The company's Audit and Compliance Committee takes part in the decisionmaking process related to the Short-Term Incentive of the Chairman and CEO by verifying the economic-financial and non-financial information that may be part of the objectives set for the purpose of such remuneration, as this committee must first verify the company's results as the basis for calculating the relevant objectives.
- Regarding the measures required to avoid conflicts of interest by the directors, according to the provisions in the Spanish Companies Act, the Regulations of Puig's Board of Directors includes a series of obligations related to its duties of loyalty and to avoid situations of conflict of interest. Moreover, the Regulations of Puig's Board of Directors determine that one of its duties is to ensure that possible conflicts of interest do not harm the independence of the external advice provided to the ARC.

|
| • Voting right: Five (5) votes per share. | ||||
| • Pre-emption right and right to free assignment of new Class A shares: Except where the pre-emption right, free assignment right or any other comparable preferential right does not exist or is excluded, the issue, grant or delivery of (x) Company shares (of any kind), or (y) any right or other securities or financial instruments that grant the right, directly or indirectly, to acquire subscribe or otherwise receive Company shares or that are exchangeable for or convertible into Company shares, will be resolved by the Company: |
||||
| • either with the simultaneous issuance, granting or delivery of Class A shares and Class B shares in the same proportion represented by the number of shares of each class over the total number of shares into which the share capital of the Company is divided when the increase or issue resolution is adopted; or |
||||
| • either by the issuance, granting or delivery of any rights or other securities or financial instruments that, directly or indirectly, give the right to acquire, subscribe or otherwise receive Class A shares and Class B shares in the proportion indicated in the foregoing section or are exchangeable for or convertible into Company shares in the above-mentioned proportion between Class A and Class B shares. |
||||
| With full respect for the principle of proportionality described above, the pre-emption right, right of free assignment or any other comparable preferential right for Class A shares will only involve Class A shares (or any rights or other securities or financial instruments that, directly or indirectly, give the right to acquire, subscribe or otherwise receive Class A shares or that are exchangeable for or convertible into Class A shares). |
||||
| In capital increases charged to reserves or to the issuance premium of shares carried out with an increase in the nominal value of the shares issued, the Class A shares as a whole will be entitled to increase their nominal value by the same proportion as the total nominal value represented by the Class A shares in circulation at the time of adoption of the resolution with respect to the total share capital of the Company represented by the Class A and Class B shares in circulation at that time. |
||||
| • Right to convert into Class B shares: Each Class A shares grants its holder the right to convert it into a Class B share at any time. |
||||
| • Other rights: Moreover, each Class A share grants the other rights, including economic rights, recognized by law and by the articles of association and that are inherent to the shareholder status. |

| Class B | 174,819,678 | €0.06. | One (1) | In accordance with article 5bis of the Company's articles of association: |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • Voting rights: Each Class B share grants one (1) vote. | ||||
| • Pre-emption right and right to free assignment of new Class B shares: With full respect for the principle of proportionality between the number of Class A shares and Class B shares over the total Company shares, the pre-emption right, right of free assignment or any other comparable preferential right for Class B shares will only involve Class B shares (or any rights or other securities or financial instruments that, directly or indirectly, give the right to acquire, subscribe or otherwise receive Class B shares or that are exchangeable for or convertible into Class B shares). In capital increases charged to reserves or to the issue premium of shares carried out with an increase in the nominal value of the shares issued, the Class B shares as a whole will be entitled to increase their nominal value by the same proportion as the total nominal value represented by the Class B shares in circulation at the time of adoption of the resolution with respect to the total share capital of the Company represented by the Class A and Class B shares in circulation at that time. |
||||
| • Other rights: Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sections and the terms of the legislation in force, each Class B share, despite having a lower nominal value, grants the same economic and financial rights as each Class A share. In particular, each Class B share grants its holder the right to receive the same dividend, the same liquidation quota, the same refund of contributions in the case of a capital decrease, distribution of reserves of any kind (including, where applicable, premiums for attending the General Shareholders' Meeting) or of the issuance premium and any other distributions that correspond to each Class A share, all with the same terms that apply to each Class A share. |
||||
| In the event of a capital decrease due to losses by means of the decrease of the nominal value of the Class A shares and the Class B shares, this decrease will affect each class of shares in proportion to its respective nominal value so that, after the decrease, the same proportion between the number of Class A shares and Class B shares over the total Company shares is maintained. |

In accordance with the terms of articles 23.1 and 32 of Royal Decree 1362/2007, of 19 October, a shareholder is considered to own a significant stake when it holds at least 3% of the voting rights (or 1% in the event the obliged shareholder in question is resident in a tax haven or country or territory with zero taxation or with which there is not effective exchange of tax information).
The information supplied on significant shareholding is based on the notifications sent by the shareholders to the Spanish Securities Market Commission ("Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores") ("CNMV") and/or to the Company itself. Specifically, the percentages held by "Exea Empresarial,

S.L." have been calculated using the voting rights notified in the last notice sent to the CNMV and the total number of voting rights in the Company at closing of the 2024 financial year.

C.1.5
Indicate whether the company has diversity policies in relation to its board of directors on such questions as age, gender, disability, education and professional experience. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in accordance with the definition set out in the Spanish Auditing Act, will have to report at least the policy that they have implemented in relation to gender diversity.
Yes.
If so, describe these diversity policies, their objectives, the measures and the way in which they have been applied and their results over the year. Also indicate the specific measures adopted by the board of directors and the appointments and remuneration committee to achieve a balanced and diverse presence of directors.
If the company does not apply a diversity policy, explain the reasons why.
In accordance with article 529.2 bis of the Spanish Companies Act and Recommendation 14 of the Code of Good Governance of Listed Companies, at its meeting held on 5 April 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved the Selection and Diversity Policy of the board of directors, which entered into force when the Company's Class B shares were listed (the "Selection Policy"). The purpose of the Selection Policy is to determine the criteria that the Puig board of directors will use in the selection, appointment and re-election processes for members of the board of directors of the Company, as well as the criteria and requirements for an appropriate and diverse composition of the board of directors. The Selection Policy is based on the following general principles:
- Appropriate composition of the board of directors: The composition of the board of directors should be appropriate for the proper exercise of its functions, meaning that the Director selection processes will be based on a prior analysis of the abilities required by the board of directors.
- Promotion of diversity in the composition of the board of directors. The bodies responsible for the selection of Directors will strive to ensure that the selection processes favor diversity in the composition of the board of directors and its Committees, among other things, in terms of gender, knowledge, experience, geographical origin and age.
- Non-discrimination and equal treatment: Selection procedures for board members of Puig will not be affected by implicit bias that could imply discrimination of any kind, whether on grounds of race, sex, age disability or for any other reason.
- Transparency in the selection of candidates: The procedures for the selection, appointment and re-election of members of the board of directors will be transparent and the board of directors, with the collaboration of the Company's Appointments and Remuneration Committee, will establish the appropriate measures to ensure that the Company provides all the necessary information in this regard.
- Compliance with applicable regulations and with the principles of good governance: The selection processes for the members of the board of directors of Puig will be carried out pursuant to the Spanish Companies Act and the Company's internal regulations and in line with the corporate governance best

practices assumed by the Company, including the guidelines issued by supervisory authorities.
According to the Selection Policy, with a view to ensuring a proper composition of the board of directors and avoiding bias in selection processes, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee will draw up a skills matrix for the board of directors defining the aptitudes and knowledge of the candidates, especially executive and independent directors, and that helps the Appointments and Remuneration Committee to define the functions that should correspond to each position to be filled, as well as the most appropriate skills, knowledge and experience for the board of directors. The result of the prior analysis will be set out in a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee that will serve as a basis for drafting the mandatory board of directors' report or, in the case of non-executive directors, of Appointments and Remuneration Committee report, in line with the provisions of the Spanish Companies Act and the board of directors Regulations. This report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee will be published when the General Shareholders' Meeting at which the ratification, appointment or re-election of each director is to be approved is called, together with any other report prepared by the board of directors or the Appointments and Remuneration Committee to that end.
C.1.6
Describe the measures, if any, agreed upon by the appointments committee to ensure that selection procedures do not contain hidden biases which impede the selection of female directors and that the company deliberately seeks and includes women who meet the target professional profile among potential candidates, making it possible to achieve a balance between men and women. Also indicate whether these measures include encouraging the company to have a significant number of female senior executives:
Puig recognizes the development of professional relations based on equal opportunities as a strategic objective and, in particular, considers that diversity is a part of the essential values of the organization, as foreseen in the Company's Ethical Code under the "diverse talent" section.
Due to the recent approval of the Selection Policy, the impact of the application of its measures in the financial year under review is limited. In any event, prior to the approval of the Selection Policy, in the last year the Company has been working on implementing a new selection strategy that is reflected in the 30.7% of female presence on the current board of directors and, in particular, in the fact that women make up 57.1% of the Company's independent directors. In the future, the Company is committed to considering the adjustments necessary to the board of directors, in light of the Selection Policy.
If in spite of any measures adopted there are few or no female directors or Senior Officers, explain the reasons for this:
Not applicable.

C.1.7
Explain the conclusions of the appointments committee regarding verification of compliance with the policy aimed at promoting an appropriate composition of the board of directors.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee considers that Puig is applying the Selection Policy in a fully consistent manner and that the composition of its board of directors is balanced and diverse, taking into account the information contained in the previous two sections of this report.
C.1.8
If applicable, explain the reasons for the appointment of any proprietary directors at the request of shareholders with less than a 3% equity interest:
| Name or corporate name of shareholder | Reason |
|---|---|
| Not applicable |
Indicate whether the board of directors has declined any formal requests for presence on the board of directors from shareholders whose equity interest is equal to or greater than that of others at whose request proprietary directors have been appointed. If so, explain why the requests were not granted:
No.
C.1.9
Indicate, if applicable, the powers and authorities delegated by the board of directors, including those related to the possibility of issuing or repurchasing shares, to directors or board of directors' committees:

The proposal for the appointment or re-election of the members of the board of directors will be made by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee in the case of Independent directors and by the board of directors itself in all other cases. These proposals will, in any event, be accompanied by a report from the board of directors assessing the competence, experience and merits of the proposed candidate, which will be attached to the minutes of the General Shareholders' or board of directors Meeting. The proposal for the appointment or re-election of any non-independent director must first be the subject of a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
The proposals for the re-election of Directors will be made by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee in the case of Independent directors and by the board of directors itself in all other cases. These proposals will include the reports referred to in article 14.2 of the board of directors Regulations.
Prior to any re-election of Directors, the General Shareholders' Meeting will assess the quality of work and dedication of the proposed Directors during the preceding mandate. Independent directors will not be re-elected to a position for a total term of more than twelve (12) years.
Directors will leave their positions at the end of the period for which they were appointed or when so decided by the General Shareholders' Meeting using the authorities established by law or the articles of association.
Directors will offer their resignation to the board of directors and formalize the corresponding resignation in the following cases:
- When they leave the positions, posts or roles with which their appointment as Executive Directors was associated.
- In the case of Proprietary Directors, when the shareholder whose interests they represent transfers their entire stake in the Company or reduces it by the appropriate proportion.
- In the case of Independent directors, in the event of supervening circumstances that mean that they cease to be independent, pursuant to the law.
- When affected by any of the scenarios of incompatibility or prohibition envisaged by law.
- When requested by a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the Board.

• When their continued presence on the board of directors may be detrimental to the interests, credit or reputation of the Company. Directors will inform of any criminal cases in which they are under investigation, as well as of any other procedural events.
Directors who adopt resolutions on matters that, according to the provisions of the law or the articles of association, fall within the exclusive scope of the General Shareholders' Meeting or who fail to follow instructions given by the General Shareholders' Meeting to the board of directors in accordance with the law and the articles of association will immediately submit their resignation and leave their positions. If the Director in question fails to comply with this obligation, it will be for the Chairman of the board of directors to call a board of directors Meeting as soon as possible so that it can call a General Shareholders' Meeting, the agenda for which will include, among other things, the removal of the non-compliant Director or Directors, all notwithstanding any legal action that may be taken in accordance with the law.
The board of directors will not propose the removal of Independent Directors unless there is just cause, found by the board of directors after receiving a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. In particular, just cause will be deemed to exist when the Independent director holds new positions or assumes new obligations that prevent him/her from performing the duties inherent in the position of Director, when he/she fails to discharge the duties inherent in the position or is affected by any of the circumstances that leads them to lose their status as independent, in accordance with the applicable legislation.
In the event that, due to resignation or any other reasons, a Director leaves his/ her position before the end of the mandate, he/she will explain the reasons for the same in a letter sent to all the members of the board of directors, unless he/ she informs them at a board of directors meeting and it is recorded in the minutes. Notwithstanding that the reason for the departure shall be disclosed in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, where relevant for investors, the Company will publish the departure as soon as possible, including sufficient reference to the reasons or circumstances provided by the Director.

D.
Related party and Intragroup Transactions

D.1
Explain, where appropriate, the procedure and competent bodies relating to the approval of transactions with related and intragroup parties, indicating the criteria and general internal rules of the entity that regulate the abstention obligations of the affected director or shareholders. Detail the internal information and periodic control procedures established by the company in relation to those related-party transactions whose approval has been delegated by the board of directors.
In accordance with the terms of article 23 of the board of directors Regulations, the transactions that the Company or any of the Puig group companies carry out with Directors, or with persons related to them or with shareholders, and that qualify as related-party transactions according to the law, must be authorized by the board of directors or the General Shareholders' Meeting, as appropriate, after obtaining the opinion of the Audit and Compliance Committee.
In any event, it will be necessary to ensure that the authorized transaction is not detrimental to the Company's assets or, if applicable, that it is carried out under market conditions and via a transparent process.
The authorization will necessarily have to be agreed by the General Shareholders' Meeting when it involves a related-party transaction for an amount or value that is equal to or greater than ten (10) per cent of the Company's assets, according to the last consolidated annual balance sheet approved by the Company. When the General Shareholders' Meeting has to decide on a related-party transaction, the affected shareholder will be deprived of its right to vote, except in those cases in which the proposed resolution has been approved by the board of directors without the majority of Independent Directors voting against. However, when appropriate, the rule of the reversal of the burden of proof envisaged in article 190.3 of the Spanish Companies Act will apply.
The authority to approve related-party transactions other than those envisaged in the foregoing paragraph will correspond to the board of directors, which will not be able to delegate it.
The above notwithstanding, the board of directors will delegate approval of the following related-party transactions, which will not require a prior report from the Audit and Compliance Committee either: (i) those between the Company and the Puig group companies in the sphere of their ordinary management and under market conditions; and (ii) those arranged by virtue of contracts with standard conditions that apply across the board to large number of clients, with prices or tariffs established in general terms by whoever acts as supplier of the goods or services in question and where the amount does not exceed zero point five per cent (0.5%) of the net turnover of the Company, pursuant to the last consolidated annual accounts or, failing that, individual annual accounts of the Company approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
In the event the delegation is approved, in relation to these transactions, the board of directors will establish an internal procedure of periodic reporting and monitoring, involving the Audit and Compliance Committee and that will verify the fairness and transparency of these transactions and, failing that, compliance with the legal criteria applicable to the above exceptions.

The Director affected, or the one representing or related to the affected shareholder, in relation to the related-party transaction in question, will not exercise or delegate his/her voting right and will leave the meeting room while the board of directors deliberates and votes. As an exception, Directors who represent or are related to the majority shareholder of the Company, currently Puig, S.L. or entities related to it that hold all or part of its stake in the future, will not have to abstain, in transactions of the Company and the Puig companies, notwithstanding that, in such cases, if their vote has been decisive for the adoption of the resolution, the rule of the reversal of the burden of proof will apply in similar terms to those envisaged in article 190.3 of the Spanish Companies Act.
The Company will report related-party transactions in the cases and with the scope envisaged by law.
D.2
Provide individual details of transactions that are significant due to their amount or of importance due to their subject matter carried out between the company or its subsidiaries and shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting rights or who are represented on the board of directors of the company, indicating which has been the competent body for its approval and if any affected shareholder or director has abstained. In the event that the board of directors has responsibility, indicate if the proposed resolution has been approved by the board of directors without a vote against the majority of the independents:
During the 2024 financial year, no new transactions have been formalized between the Company or its subsidiaries and the direct or indirect controlling shareholder (Puig, S.L. and Exea Empresarial, S.L., respectively) that are considered significant due to their amount and/or subject matter and that, therefore, are subject to individual breakdown in this section.
Notwithstanding the above, Company's consolidated annual accounts for the 2024 financial year include the information relating to related party transactions required in accordance with the criteria and breakdown provided for in the applicable regulations.
D.3
Provide individual details of the transactions that are significant due to their amount or relevant due to their subject matter carried out by the company or its subsidiaries with the administrators or directors of the company, including those transactions carried out with entities that the administrator or manager controls or controls jointly, indicating the competent body for its approval and if any affected shareholder or director has abstained. In the event that the board of directors has responsibility, indicate if the proposed resolution has been approved by the board of directors without a vote against the majority of the independents:
During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, there have been no transactions with the Company's directors (or their related parties, as defined above) that are significant in amount or material in nature.

Notes:
It is hereby expressly stated that the group companies have current lease agreements for the commercial premises of the Carolina Herrera (New York) and Rabanne (Paris) stores, as well as lease agreements for the offices of the headquarters in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona).

The aforementioned contracts were signed prior to 2024 and, therefore, prior to the admission to trading of the Class B shares. After the Class B shares were admitted to trading, the aforementioned lease agreements and their main conditions were ratified by the Board of Directors of the Company, having been previously analyzed by the Audit and Compliance Committee and, in particular, to verify that said transactions are at arm's length and that they are fair and reasonable from the Company's point of view and in accordance with the corporate purpose.
The Company's consolidated annual accounts for the 2024 financial year include details of the nature and amounts accrued in relation to the aforementioned lease agreements, in accordance with the criteria and breakdown provided for in the applicable accounting regulations.

Directors are obliged to (i) inform the board of directors of any direct or indirect conflict they may have with the Company's interests. If such a conflict exists, the affected Director will refrain from intervening in the transaction to which the conflict refers, unless otherwise stipulated by law, and (ii) will inform the board of directors of the potential direct or indirect conflict of interest situations in which the Director finds him-/herself or has found him-/herself, or the person related to them, in relation to Puig's interests, in the terms established in the legislation in force at any given time.
The Directors will inform the Chairman of the board of directors of their other professional obligations, in case they could interfere with the dedication required for the performance of their duties. The Secretary of the board of directors will collect and keep the information provided by the Directors, for the appropriate legal effects.
At the General Shareholders' Meetings, the shares of any shareholder in a conflict-of-interest situation will be deducted from the share capital for calculating the majority of votes required in each case.

E.
Risk Management and Control Systems

E.1
Explain the scope of the company's financial and non-financial risk management and control system, including tax risk.
The general risk management framework that establishes the basic principles for monitoring and managing all kinds of risks that could negatively affect the achievement of Puig's objectives (applied in line with the provisions of the Puig Code of Ethics) has been formalized in a policy on management and control of financial and non-financial risks drafted at the end of 2024 and formally approved in January 2025.
The risk management system exists at the risk area level (mainly, Financial, Tax, Compliance and Strategic) and covers the business units and geographies in line with the materiality principles. The system is implemented and supplemented by the specific policies established in relation to certain risks, corporate functions or businesses within the perimeter of the group. Risks are identified, analyzed, assessed, managed and monitored systematically, with uniform criteria and within the tolerance thresholds or levels established.
The main policies that are functionally implemented in the general risk management framework are the following:
- Crime prevention and compliance policy
- Anti-corruption policy
- Whistleblowing channel policy and procedure
- Anti-trust policy
- Tax policy
- Information security policy
- Privacy policy
- Governance model on the Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICoFR) system
The risk management policies are applicable to all of Puig's business divisions.
In addition, during the 2024 financial year, a double materiality analysis was carried out and validated by external parties and aligned with existing risk management and control systems. The methodology and conclusions of this analysis can be found in Section 6 of the Consolidated Statement of Non-Financial Information and Sustainability Information for the 2024 financial year.

E.2
Identify the bodies within the company responsible for preparing and executing the financial and non-financial risk management and control system, including tax risk.
1. Board of Directors
The functions of the board of directors include: (i) overseeing the deployment of a Risk Management and Control System ("Sistema de Control y de Gestión de Riesgos") and following up the information and monitoring systems, and (ii) approving the risk management and control policies that define the basic management principles and guidelines for mitigating such risks.
2. Audit and Compliance Committee
The functions of the Audit and Compliance Committee include supervising the effectiveness of the Risk Management and Control System, presenting recommendations and proposals to the board of directors in these matters.
3. Risk Committees
The Company establishes Risk Committees in each division and, in relation to supra-division (corporate group) issues, it works with the corporate representative of each corresponding area. The Risk Committees manage the defined risks, with the frequency established, coordinating with the risk management areas and the requirements derived from the monitoring areas involved.
4. Risk Management Area
The functions of the Risk Management Area include: (i) leading the process for the periodic preparation, maintenance and update of risks; (ii) ensuring the proper functioning of the Risk Management and Monitoring System, overseeing identification, prioritization, assessment, quantification, processing and followup and providing reasonable certainty on its proper operation supplying the information and tools necessary to process it: (iii) integrating in the Risk Control System the monitoring measures identified by the different risk managers; and (iv) raising awareness on the importance of the Risk Management and Control System promoting the creation of a risk management culture at all levels and the periodic assessment of the management model.
5. Senior Officers and Management team
The functions of Senior Officers and the management team include: (i) participating in the risk committees established and complying with the Terms of Reference established; and (ii) supplying sufficient means for the development of the Risk Management and Monitoring activities as well as defining the functions and responsibilities of such activities.
6. Risk Owners
In coordination with the Risk Management Area, there is a role called "Risk Owners", who are responsible for: (i) identifying and prioritizing risk factors within their sphere of responsibility, as well as the tolerance level; (ii) proposing controls to mitigate risk factors and the risk monitoring indicators; (iii)

assessing the risk indicators they are responsible for, proposing and implementing the response measures where necessary; and (iv) taking part in the periodic identification of risk factors, controls and monitoring indicators.
E.3
Indicate the main financial and non-financial risks, including tax risks, as well as those deriving from corruption (with the scope of these risks as set out in Royal Decree Law 18/2017), to the extent that these are significant and may affect the achievement of business objectives.
In the development of Puig's own business activities, different risks are identified that are inherent to the different divisions, activities and regions in which it operates, and which include:
Corporate Governance Risks
They are derived from a potential non-compliance with the applicable legislation, the terms of the governance and sustainability system, the Code of Good Governance of Listed Companies recommendations and its practical guidelines; and the international standards in this area.
Strategic Risks
Derived from the strategic position of Puig in the environment in which it performs its activity, relations with third parties, the portfolio of products, as well as planning and organization, and that may entail difficulty in complying with the objectives defined in its Strategic Plan.
Puig will focus its efforts on monitoring the profitability of businesses in the areas in which it operates and on investment in activities and tools that adapt its portfolio of products and facilitate the adaptation, progress and achievement of the strategic objectives in terms of business and impact on society. Moreover, in relation to the geographical environments in which it operates, Puig will implement its business strategies in line with general strategies of prudence and within a framework that assesses the risks of international socio-economic situations including political risks.
Financial Risks
Associated with alterations on the financial markets and/or markets for goods and services that affect the costs and revenue of the activity, including spheres related to exchange rate management, liquidity risk or the interest rate, as well as the credit risk related to the possibility that a counterparty fails to comply with its contractual obligations and causes an economic or financial loss for Puig.
Regulatory Risks
Associated with non-compliance with legal provisions, regulations in general, adopted standards and applicable codes of conduct, in all the markets in which Puig carries out its activity, and which may lead to sanctions and/or deterioration of reputation, consequently causing an adverse impact on the results, and/or on the capital, and/or on the expectations of business

development with special relevance on criminal offences and crimes of the legal person, fraud and legal obligations arising from Puig's activities.
Tax Risks
Associated with decision-making in the area of tax, whether by Puig, or the tax or judicial authorities, that could have a negative impact on the financial statements or reputation of Puig. The Group's activity entails the adoption of a series of decisions that have tax impact and repercussions.
Operating Risks
Referring to the direct or indirect economic losses caused by inadequate internal processes, technological faults, human error or as a result of external events, specifically including risks associated with the design, manufacture and commercialization of its products, the creation and use of brand support materials, human capital and information technology.
E.4
Indicate whether the entity has risk tolerance levels, including for tax risk.
Puig's Risk Management and Control System is designed to achieve a balanced profile in terms of risk/opportunity, by means of appropriate management. The tolerance framework is established around guidelines, rules and procedures that ensure that the management environment maintains risk at acceptable levels. In this regard, the aim is to maintain a prudent level of risk that makes it possible to generate value in a recurrent and sustainable manner, optimize opportunities while at the same time maintaining acceptable levels of risk (with the exception of those risks in which the tolerance level defined by the Company is zero like, for example, with regard to anti-corruption).
Those risks that are beyond the established tolerance levels will have to be addressed so that the desired levels are reached, insofar as the risk is manageable and the cost of the mitigation measures is justified by the effect that the materialization of the risk may have.
E.5
Indicate which risks, including tax risks, have materialized during the year.
The following risks have materialized during the financial year:
- A voluntary withdrawal of certain batches of Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray has been carried out after identifying an isolated quality issue in a limited number of batches which, in any case, does not render the product unsafe. The voluntary withdrawal has had an impact on the performance of Puig's make-up business segment. However, it has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated annual results targets; and
- In line with the sector in which the Company operates, there has been a negative market performance in China. Notwithstanding the foregoing, due to the Company's lower exposure to the Chinese market, the impact on the

Company is considered to be lower than the industry average and is expected to be offset by good performance in other regions and categories.
No risks related to financial reporting have materialized.

Explain the response and oversight plans for the company's main risks, including tax risks, as well as the procedures followed by the company in order to ensure that the board of directors responds to any new challenges that arise.
Puig's Risk Management system enables it to identify risks and threats, as well as to establish mitigation plans when necessary.
Puig's risk management model is based on a risk management system defined at risk area level (mainly Financial, Tax, Compliance, Strategic), and covers the business units and geographies according to materiality principles. The model has mechanisms for monitoring and reporting to the Audit and Compliance Committee. To that end, risk monitoring is carried out on a quarterly basis, at least, by the Risk Committees and the Audit and Compliance Committee, supervised by the board of directors.
In relation to the strategic risks, the Risk Committees that meet quarterly or every four months review the risk factors that, according to the matrix, are considered priority or that, even if not priority, have had a high risk level in the relevant risk indicator. The response strategy varies depending on each risk factor and its appetite and, according to the above, the Risk Committee establishes an action plan that is regularly monitored and reports to the Audit and Compliance Committee periodically.
F.
Internal Risk Management and Control Systems relating to the Reporting process of Financial Information (ICoFR)

Describe the mechanisms forming your company's Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICoFR) system.
F.1 The Company's control environment
Report on at least the following, describing their principal features:
F.1.1.
The bodies and/or departments that are responsible for: (i) the existence and maintenance of an adequate and effective ICoFR system; (ii) its implementation; and (iii) its supervision.
In accordance with the board of directors Regulations, the board of directors of the Company holds, among others, the non-delegable power to determine the risk management and control policy.
Article 39.3 of the board of directors Regulations assigns the following functions to the Audit and Compliance Committee with regard to the internal reporting and control systems:
- i. Supervise the process of drawing up and presenting the financial and nonfinancial information, as well as ensuring the integrity thereof, as well as of the systems for controlling and reporting financial and non-financial risks, (including, among others, operational, technological, legal, social, environmental, political and reputational risk, as well as those related to corruption) regarding the Company, reviewing compliance with regulatory requirements, the proper delimitation of the consolidation perimeter and the proper application of accounting principles, and presenting recommendations or proposals to the board of directors, in order to safeguard the integrity of the financial and non-financial information.
- ii. Periodically revise the internal reporting and control and risk management systems, so that the policies and systems are applied effectively, and the main risks are identified, managed and reported on appropriately.
- iii. Oversee the independence and effectiveness of the internal audit function; notify the board of directors of its opinion in terms of the selection, appointment, re-election and removal of the head of the internal audit service; propose the budget for that service; approve or propose that the board of directors approve the guidelines and annual plan of action for internal audit, ensuring that its activity focuses primarily on the relevant risks (including reputational risks), receive period information on its activities; and verify that Senior Officers take into account the conclusions and recommendations of its reports.
- iv. Establish and oversee a mechanism that makes it possible for employees and other persons related to the Company (including directors, shareholders, suppliers, contractors or subcontractors) to confidentially report any potentially material irregularities, especially financial and accounting ones, that are noticed within the Company.
In relation to risks, the Audit and Compliance Committee will verify that the appropriate mechanisms are established to supervise financial and nonfinancial risks, with final responsibility for the existence and maintenance of an

effective System for the Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("Sistema de Control Interno de la Información financiera") (ICoFR) resting with the board of directors, which oversees the same via the Audit and Compliance Committee. In turn, this oversight by the Audit and Compliance Committee relies on the Internal Control department, which is responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of the ICoFR controls.
All aspects related to the Internal Monitoring of Financial Information are regulated in Puig's Internal Control over Financial Reporting Governance Model. This internal policy establishes the responsibilities and internal monitoring mechanisms necessary to guarantee the effectiveness of the ICoFR.
F.1.2.
Indicate whether the following exist, especially in relation to the drawing up of financial information:
• Departments and/or mechanisms in charge of: (i) the design and review of the organizational structure; (ii) clear definition of lines of responsibility and authority with an appropriate distribution of tasks and functions; and (iii) ensuring that adequate procedures exist for their proper dissemination throughout the entity.
According to the board of directors Regulations, the powers reserved for the board of directors are those of defining the organizational structure of the Company, as well as the appointment and potential removal of Senior Officers. The heads of each organization, together with the heads of Human Resources of the divisions and the corporate Chief HR Officer carry out deployment in their respective units.
Each top-level department prepares a proposed organizational structure, including a description of the mission, functions and responsibilities of the different organizations deployed, which will subsequently be validated at corporate level.
Once the organizational changes of the Senior Officers are approved, the entire workforce is notified by means of an announcement on the intranet.
The Corporate Finance and Internal Control departments hold the responsibility for the policies and procedures associated with financial information.
The Internal Control department evaluates the risks and controls to be implemented taking into account the different processes. According to the specific control requirements, responsibilities are assigned through the organization, designating control owners and control reviewers.
• Code of conduct, the body approving this, degree of dissemination and instruction, principles and values covered (stating whether there is specific mention of record keeping and preparation of financial information), body charged with analyzing breaches and proposing corrective actions and sanctions.
Puig approved a Code of Ethics in 2010, the latest update of which was approved by the board of directors in 2023, and it is revised periodically in order to ensure its validity and relevance. The Code of Ethics is published on the Company's website.

Puig's Code of Ethics defines the reference framework to ensure that the Company's daily activities and those of its employees are in line with its principles and values through the various commitments established.
These commitments include the rule on "Reporting Integrity" ("Integridad en la elaboración de informes"), which states: "We comply with all financial and nonfinancial disclosure and reporting obligations in a transparent, reliable and timely manner". And the rule on "Accuracy of Information" ("Veracidad de la información") which states: "All information disseminated internally and externally must be accurate and clearly expressed" Therefore, providing inaccurate or incorrectly organized information is prohibited.
Puig's Code of Ethics sets a strict standard for compliance at all levels of the organization, adopting the corresponding disciplinary or other measures in view of possible violations and in accordance with the legal framework in force at any time. The principles established in the Code of Ethics are also projected in the development of the Company's activity throughout its value chain.
The dissemination of the Code of Ethics is guaranteed by online training that also contains an explanation of the main commitments of the Code of Ethics and includes individual confirmation of acceptance and a commitment to its principles and values.
Overseeing compliance with the Code of Ethics as well as of the policies derived from it and the applicable legislation on the Company's activity is the responsibility of the Audit and Compliance Committee with the corporate Compliance area, headed by the Chief Compliance Officer. This area submits a report to the Audit and Compliance Committee annually on the degree of deployment and effectiveness of the regulatory compliance model as well as a proposal for actions and recommendations for the following year, in a context of continuous improvement. Once this report has been approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee, it is submitted for the approval of the board of directors.
• Reporting channel allowing notifications to the audit committee of irregularities of a financial and accounting nature, in addition to potential breaches of the code of conduct and unlawful activities undertaken in the organisation, indicating whether this channel is confidential and whether anonymous notifications can be made, protecting the rights of the whistleblower and the person reported.
As part of its commitment to integrity, Puig has implemented the Reporting Channel as an essential tool for ensuring the ethical and regulatory compliance standards established in Puig's Code of Ethics, including irregularities in relation to accounting or financial information. As part of Puig's speak-up culture, this channel is open to anyone who wants to report possible irregularities, unlawful conduct or violations of the Code of Ethics or internal policies of the Company.
The Reporting Channel Policy and Procedure establishes the principles that govern its operation and the guarantees of persons making the report as required by the legislation in force. These guarantees include the confidentiality of information and of the reporting person, the possibility to make anonymous complaints and protection against reprisals due to complaints made in good faith.

Puig's Reporting Channel is available 24/7 via the online platform (puigreportingchannel.ethicspoint.com), accessible in 19 languages. Puig's Reporting Channel can also be accessed via the Company's intranet.
The processing of complaints, including irregularities in relation to accounting or financial information, made via the Reporting Channel, is governed by the principles of independence, objectivity and impartiality. In this regard, the complaints made via the Reporting Channel are initially assessed by the corporate area of Compliance in order to determine whether they are admissible and, if applicable, an investigation by internal and external experts is opened into the facts reported. The Chief Compliance Officer informs the Audit and Compliance Committee of the evolution of complaints made as well as the measures proposed, on a regular basis.
• Training and periodic refresher programmes for personnel involved in the preparation and revision of financial information, as well as in the assessment of the ICoFR system, covering at least accounting standards, auditing, internal control and risk management.
The employees directly or indirectly involved in the preparation and review of financial information, as well as in the evaluation of the ICoFR, receive periodic trainings on accounting standards, internal control, and risk management according to their responsibilities. These trainings provide the necessary skills to effectively perform their tasks and to adapt to best practices in the market.
The Internal Control department is responsible for training the employees with an active role in ICoFR.

F.2 Assessment of risks in financial reporting
Report on at least the following:
F.2.1.
The main characteristics of the risk identification process, including risks of error and fraud, as regards:
• Whether the process exists and is documented.
The process of identifying risks of errors in financial information is one of the most important steps within the methodology for implementing the ICoFR.
The objective of the risk assessment process is to establish and maintain an effective process for identifying, analyzing and managing the relevant risks that can affect the preparation of the financial statements.
This part involves analyzing the consolidated financial information to select the most relevant accounting captions and footnotes based on quantitative (materiality) or qualitative criteria. The selected captions and notes are grouped into processes, which are then analyzed to identify related risks.

Those risks are evaluated and selected according to different indicators (such as the existence of formalized processes and controls, knowledge and maturity of the process or system or automatization among others). Once the most significant risks are identified, controls are defined to mitigate them. Controls are monitored and documented and at least annually they are reviewed through a test of effectiveness.
The risk management process is formalized and documented in Puig's Internal Control over Financial Information Governance Model. The management process consists of the following participation levels:
- The board of directors establishes the risk management and control policy, supervising the internal reporting and monitoring systems, with the support of the Audit and Compliance Committee.
- The Internal Control department compiles all identified risks in a document and prepares a risk matrix which is reported to the Audit and Compliance Committee for review.
- The Audit and Compliance Committee receives regularly (at least annually) information regarding: (i) significant changes in the perimeter of supervision of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting System; (ii) update of processes and risks; (iii) ad hoc updates of the Internal Control model, if any; and (iv) update of the status of the Internal Control System and next steps. Based on this information, the Audit and Compliance Committee provides feedback and validates the plan for the next year.
- Whether the process covers all the objectives of financial reporting, (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; presentation; disclosure and comparability; and rights and obligations), whether it is updated and if so how often.
As mentioned in prior sections, the objective of the process is to identify, at least once a year, the financial risks and mitigate them.
The process covers the following financial information objectives:
- Existence and occurrence
- Integrity
- Assessment
- Cut-off and registration
- Presentation
- Rights and obligations
- The existence of a process for identifying the perimeter of consolidation, taking into account, among other factors, the possible existence of complex corporate structures or special purpose vehicles.
The identification of the consolidation perimeter is carried out periodically, resulting in an updated map of the companies, with the explicit identification of changes that occurred in each period.

The board of directors Regulations, in line with article 529 of the Spanish Companies Act, determines that the board of directors is responsible, among other things, for approving the assumption or acquisition of stakes in special purpose entities or entities domiciled in territories considered tax havens, as well as any transactions or operations of a comparable nature that, due to their complexity, could undermine Puig's transparency.
• Whether the process takes into account the effects of other types of risk (operational, technological, financial, legal, tax, reputational, environmental, etc.) to the extent that they affect the financial statements.
According to the board of directors Regulations, the process for identifying risks in financial information takes into account the effects of other kinds of risk (operational, technological, financial, legal, tax, reputational, environmental, etc.) insofar as they have a relevant effect on the financial statements and, in this regard, it has set controls in those areas.
• The governing body within the company that supervises the process.
The board of directors Regulations attribute to the Audit and Compliance Committee the responsibility for periodically reviewing and supervising the internal risk management and control systems, as well as for overseeing the integrity of financial and non-financial information.
Internal Control gives support and visibility to the Audit and Compliance Committee and acts as a line of defense whose main responsibility is to provide support to management in identifying internal and external risks than can have an effect on financial information.

Before the drafting and approval of the annual and half-yearly financial statements, the Head of the Corporate Financial Services department and the external auditors meet to analyze and assess the financial information as well as the implementation of internal controls over financial information.
Prior to the submission of the annual accounts and half-yearly financial statements to the board of directors, the Audit and Compliance Committee reviews the above-mentioned financial information and, to this end, the Company's auditor, "Ernst & Young, S.L." appears before the Committee to present the main highlights of the financial reporting process. Once approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee, the annual accounts and half-yearly financial statements are submitted to the board of directors at the proposal of the Audit and Compliance Committee and certified, in terms of their completeness and accuracy, by the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the board of directors, with the approval of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Complies
- That large-cap companies have separate appointments and remuneration committees.
Explains
To date, the Company has not considered it necessary to separate its Appointments and Remuneration Committee into two committees, considering that functions related to appointments and tasks in the remuneration area can be carried out objectively and independently by the same committee. To this end, the Company considers that it is not efficient to separate powers between two committees and that having a single committee does not limit or negatively affect the powers granted by law to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

- That the appointments committee consult with the chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive of the company, especially in relation to matters concerning executive directors.
And that any director be able to ask the appointments committee to consider potential candidates that he or she considers suitable to fill a vacancy on the board of directors.
Complies
-
- That the remuneration committee exercise its functions independently and that, in addition to the functions assigned to it by law, it should be responsible for the following:
- a. Proposing the basic conditions of employment for Senior Officers to the board of directors.
- b. Verifying compliance with the company's remuneration policy.
- c. Periodically reviewing the remuneration policy applied to directors and Senior Officers, including share-based remuneration systems and their application, as well as ensuring that their individual remuneration is proportional to that received by the company's other directors and Senior Officers.
- d. Making sure that potential conflicts of interest do not undermine the independence of external advice given to the committee.
- e. Verifying the information on remuneration of directors and Senior Officers contained in the various corporate documents, including the annual report on director remuneration.
Complies
-
That the remuneration committee should consult with the chairman and the chief executive of the company, especially on matters relating to executive directors and Senior Officers.
-
- That the rules regarding the composition and workings of the supervision and control committees should appear in the regulations of the board of directors and that they should be consistent with those applying to legally mandatory committees in accordance with the foregoing recommendations, including:
- a. That they be composed exclusively of non-executive directors, with a majority of independent directors.
- b. That their chairpersons be independent directors.
- c. That the board of directors select members of these committees taking into account their knowledge, skills and experience and the duties of each committee; discuss their proposals and reports; and require them to render account of their activities and of the work performed in the first plenary session of the board of directors held after each committee meeting.

- d. That the committees be allowed to avail themselves of outside advice when they consider it necessary to perform their duties.
- e. That their meetings be recorded and their minutes be made available to all directors.
Complies partially
The CEO is a member of the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee which does not have a majority of independent directors, and its chair is not an independent director. Therefore, sections (a) and (b) are not complied with. The rest of the sections are complied with.
- That verification of compliance with the company's policies and rules on environmental, social and corporate governance matters, and with the internal codes of conduct be assigned to one or divided among more than one committee of the board of directors, which may be the audit committee, the appointments committee, a specialized committee on sustainability or corporate social responsibility or such other specialized committee as the board of directors, in the exercise of its powers of self-organization, may have decided to create. And that such committee be composed exclusively of non-executive directors, with a majority of these being independent directors, and that the minimum functions indicated in the next recommendation be specifically assigned to it.
Complies partially
The CEO is a member of the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee which does not have a majority of independent directors. Therefore, part of the recommendation is not complied with.
-
- The minimum functions referred to in the foregoing recommendation are the following:
- a. Monitoring of compliance with the company's internal codes of conduct and corporate governance rules, also ensuring that the corporate culture is aligned with its purpose and values.
- b. Monitoring the application of the general policy on communication of economic and financial information, non-financial and corporate information and communication with shareholders and investors, proxy advisors and other stakeholders. The manner in which the entity communicates and handles relations with small and medium-sized shareholders must also be monitored.
- c. The periodic evaluation and review of the company's corporate governance system, and environmental and social policy, with a view to ensuring that they fulfil their purposes of promoting the interests of society and take account, as appropriate, of the legitimate interests of other stakeholders.
- d. Supervision of the company's environmental and social practices to ensure that they are in alignment with the established strategy and policy.
- e. Supervision and evaluation of the way in which relations with the various stakeholders are handled.

-
- That environmental and social sustainability policies identify and include at least the following:
- a. The principles, commitments, objectives and strategy relating to shareholders, employees, clients, suppliers, social issues, the environment, diversity, tax responsibility, respect for human rights, and the prevention of corruption and other unlawful conduct.
- b. Means or systems for monitoring compliance with these policies, their associated risks, and management.
- c. Mechanisms for supervising non-financial risk, including that relating to ethical aspects and aspects of business conduct.
- d. The channels of communication, participation and dialog with stakeholders.
- e. Responsible communication practices that impede the manipulation of data and protect integrity and honor.
Complies
- That director remuneration be sufficient in order to attract and retain directors who meet the desired professional profile and to adequately compensate them for the dedication, qualifications and responsibility demanded of their posts, while not being so excessive as to compromise the independent judgement of non-executive directors.
Complies
- That only executive directors should receive variable remuneration linked to corporate results and personal performance, as well as remuneration in the form of shares, options or rights to shares or instruments referenced to the share price and long-term savings plans such as pension plans, retirement schemes or other provident schemes.
Consideration may be given to delivering shares to non-executive directors as remuneration providing this is conditional upon their holding them until they cease to be directors. The foregoing shall not apply to shares that the director may need to sell in order to meet the costs related to their acquisition.
Complies
- That as regards variable remuneration, remuneration policies should incorporate the necessary limits and technical safeguards to ensure that such remuneration is in line with the professional performance of its beneficiaries and not based solely on general developments in the markets or in the sector in which the company operates, or other similar circumstances.
And, in particular, that variable remuneration components:
- a. Are linked to pre-determined and measurable performance criteria and that such criteria take into account the risk incurred to achieve a given result.
- b. Promote the sustainability of the company and include non-financial criteria that are geared towards creating long term value, such as compliance with the

company's rules and internal operating procedures and with its risk management and control policies.
c. Are based on balancing the attainment of short-, medium- and long-term objectives, so as to allow remuneration of continuous performance over a period long enough to be able to assess its contribution to the sustainable creation of value, such that the elements used to measure performance are not associated only with one-off, occasional or extraordinary events.
Complies
- That the payment of variable remuneration components be subject to sufficient verification that previously established performance or other conditions have effectively been met. Entities must include in their annual report on director remuneration the criteria for the time required and methods used for this verification depending on the nature and characteristics of each variable component.
That, additionally, companies consider the inclusion of a reduction ('malus') clause for the deferral of the payment of a portion of variable remuneration components that would imply their total or partial loss if an event were to occur prior to the payment date that would make this advisable.
Complies
- That remuneration related to company results should take into account any reservations that might appear in the external auditor's report and that would diminish said results.
Complies
- That a material portion of executive directors' variable remuneration be linked to the delivery of shares or financial instruments referenced to the share price.
Complies
- That once shares or options or financial instruments have been allocated under remuneration schemes, executive directors be prohibited from transferring ownership or exercising options or rights until a term of at least three years has elapsed.
An exception is made in cases where the director has, at the time of the transfer or exercise of options or rights, a net economic exposure to changes in the share price for a market value equivalent to at least twice the amount of his or her fixed annual remuneration through the ownership of shares, options or other financial instruments.
The forgoing shall not apply to shares that the director may need to sell in order to meet the costs related to their acquisition or, following a favorable assessment by the appointments and remuneration committee, to deal with such extraordinary situations as may arise and so require.

- That contractual arrangements should include a clause allowing the company to demand reimbursement of the variable remuneration components in the event that payment was not in accordance with the performance conditions or when payment was made based on data subsequently shown to have been inaccurate.
Complies
- That payments for contract termination should not exceed an amount equivalent to two years of total annual remuneration and should not be paid until the company has been able to verify that the director has fulfilled all previously established criteria or conditions for payment.
For the purposes of this recommendation, payments for contractual termination will be considered to include any payments the accrual of which or the obligation to pay which arises as a consequence of or on the occasion of the termination of the contractual relationship between the director and the company, including amounts not previously vested of long-term savings schemes and amounts paid by virtue of post-contractual non-competition agreements.
