MANAGEMENT REPORT ALTRI

"Making the world better" might be the best synthesis of who we are and what we have set out to achieve.
In the 16th century, in one of his most famous sonnets, the Portuguese poet Luís de Camões wrote: "Times change, wills change,/ways of being change, so does trust; /the whole world is composed of change,/always taking on new qualities." To conclude the poem, he said: "Yet, beyond this daily changing,/another change astonishes- me:/that nothing changes as it used to."
Change is a constant in life and not exclusive to modern times. The origin of this change may lie in factors external to us, imposed upon us, in dynamics of which we are part but cannot control, or in processes over which we might have some discretionary power. This is true for both people and companies. In the latter, the difference lies between merely reacting, adjusting, or having the ambition to be an agent of change, to a greater or lesser extent. The situation complicates when, as the poet said, the daily change no longer happens as it once did, introducing what, in the language of economics and management, is usually referred to as risk and uncertainty. And here, perhaps, there is a difference in degree, an acceleration of change that constantly challenges the management of companies involved in the competitive game, their organization and strategy, and ultimately, their people. With the established order quickly fading, and times changing, those who are first today may be last tomorrow, as Bob Dylan once wrote in "The times they're a-changing." At Altri, we are fully aware of these challenges, we know what they demand from us, and we are confident that, together, we will be able to build the appropriate responses.
2024 was, in a sense, a year of continuity that, like an elastic band stretching, contains within it the potential for disruption. The successive developments in Artificial Intelligenceis, perhaps, the most striking example in case. In parallel, there were also announced ruptures in the geopolitical context, whose dimensions are only now beginning to be visible.
2024 was, despite the challenges, or perhaps because of them, a good year for Altri. Navigating turbulent waters requires a course, an assumed strategy, a capable, flexible, and mobilized organization, and, central to making it happen, it requires quality of management. All requisits that we strive to gather and ensure.
The current report impressively portrays the path taken and what is anticipated to be taken. Due to the broad scope with which it is commonly used, "sustainability" is a good reference for the performance of Altri in 2024. The results achieved are proof that, in a well-designed and executed strategy, there is no "trade-off" between economic performance and social and environmental responsibility. It was

possible, therefore, to present, in all these aspects, performance indicators that make 2024 a reference year for the Group.
Referring to the body of the report for detailed information, it is worth highlighting here the first place worldwide, among pulp and paper companies, in the ESG Risk Rating by Morningstar Sustainalytics, as well as the distinction by EcoVadis with the platinum rating in the sustainability assessment, which keeps the Group in the Top 1% of pulp, paper, and cardboard production companies. In this regard, Altri has been recognized as a reference for the quality of the information provided, in an exercise of transparency that allows it to be a rigorous and operational benchmark in various dimensions of the SDGs. At the same time, in the economic-financial dimension, the results exceeded expectations, not only due to market conditions but mainly because of operational efficiency gains, the pursued repositioning, and the innovations introduced, in a virtuous process still ongoing. Strategy, management, organization, people.
Those accomplishments honour our commitment , shared across and from top to lower levels in the hierarchy, in promoting a more sustainable, responsible, and transparent economy. A commitment based on common values in which awards are an extra incentive to persists in the path we set out to achieve the goals we aspire to.
The world no longer "changes as it once did." On the one hand, there may be an excess of voluntarism and consequent regulatory bureaucracy. Ensuing obligations are a burden that many companies find difficult to keep up with and/or which translate into costs that, due to their lack of equity, condition competitive capacity. At the same time, shareholder activism has been resurging, questioning the ESG paradigm and trying to revive the debate about the purpose of the company. We will see where the pendulum stabilizes. These are, nevertheless, new risks, adding to an already challenging context: the "global uncertainty index" has never reached the current level, testing our management capacity and the resilience of our organization. Challenges that we are attentive to. Challenges that we would waive, although aware that we have people with the skills and capabilities to provide adequate responses, guided by our values and safeguarding sustainability.
"Making the world better" may be the best synthesis of who we are and what we have set out to achieve. By nature a long-term purpose, sustainability encompassess, in its different interpretations, from a sine qua non condition to being an expression of achievement. Thinking that it is possible to pursue, with consequence, social and environmental responsibility policies without good economic and financial performance is just wishful thinking, pure folly. Focusing exclusively on this economicfinancial dimension, ignoring the other dimensions that realize the company's purpose, is reductionist. At Altri, we strive to prove that we can not only be a profitable and sustainable company but also be among the best in each of those evaluations and make such compatibility a differentiating factor. At Altri, we want our shareholders to feel rewarded for the support we have always had when we presented them with challenging strategies. At Altri, we want the people who work here to find their professional and personal fulfilment. And we also want to be a reference and example for those who evaluate us for our ability to be agents of world transformation, making it more sustainable, environmentally and socially. Better, in a word.
At Altri, we are committed to promoting betterment daily. We built a reputation, but we do not live on memories. We aspire to a future that enhances this legacy, knowing that only in the dictionary does success come before work. As a community, shareholders, administrators, workers, we are proud to say, and keep saying, "we are Altri".

We always question what the future holds for us. With the conclusion of 2024, a new international context has emerged, increasing operational complexity and the challenges faced by the industry and companies.
However, it is precisely through our past that we can better understand and project the future. In this sense, we look at the achievements of 2024 with satisfaction, considering the work developed for the strategic plan 2024-2026, as well as our performance. This brings us even closer to our long-term goals, confirmed by the results presented. This was a year in which, despite global challenges, we continued to strengthen our commitment to operational discipline, innovation, and sustainability, valuing our most important resources, people and the forest, thus ensuring that Altri continues to be an example in its sector at the European and global level.
The year 2024 was marked by some volatility in international markets, which determined a largely positive first half, with the price of hardwood pulp (BHKP) reaching historic highs in June, followed by a second half where the trend reversed, with the price hitting annual lows at the end of the year. With increasingly rapid cycles, it is imperative that Altri maintains operational flexibility, safeguarding its profitability, either through active management of production and stocks or through the implementation of operational efficiency generation plans in all our industrial units. In soluble hardwood pulp (DWP), the base material for the textile industry and a strategic bet of Altri, the price evolution followed the good level of demand, once again demonstrating the greater stability of this market.
Operationally and financially, in 2024 the Altri Group recorded total revenues of €855.3 million, an increase of 8.5% compared to 2023, and EBITDA of €218.3 million, an increase of 59% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin was 25.5%, compared to 17.4% in 2023. This improvement is attributed not only to more favourable market conditions but also to rigorous cost management. The Altri Group presented a solid financial position at the end of 2024, with a low level of net debt (1x Net Debt/ EBITDA LTM), which allows us to maintain the necessary financial flexibility in the development of growth and diversification projects.
To reinforce our commitment to the Galicia region and its forestry sector, the Altri Group agreed to acquire Greenalia Forest and Greenalia Logistics, in an operation that strengthens the Group's operational capacity in raw material supply. This transaction is subject to precedent conditions and is expected to be completed during 2025.

Innovation and diversification of our operations continue to be fundamental for the sustainable growth of the Group. In 2024, we advanced with important projects such as the exploration of new applications of cellulosic fibers in the textile industry. As mentioned, this segment has shown interesting growth rates and is less susceptible to market price volatility.
Among the ongoing projects are the valorization of renewable-based acetic acid and furfural at Caima, with a start-up expected in Q1 2026, and the project for the total migration of Biotek's paper fiber (BHKP) production to soluble fibers (with various applications, particularly in the textile industry) by the end of 2026. At a different stage is the GAMA project in Galicia (DWP and Lyocell), currently in the processing and environmental licensing phase, a critical milestone for any final investment decision.
Altri's focus on sustainable practices was further highlighted in 2024, with significant advances in energy efficiency, the use of renewable sources, and a circular approach in all our operations. The 2030 Commitment has been an important guide, with clear goals aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This commitment is not just a corporate responsibility but allows us to actively contribute to the development of a more sustainable and renewable future, based on our operational efficiency.
In 2024, Altri continued to be recognized as a global leader in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) practices, reflecting the collective and dedicated work of all our teams. These ratings and recognition demonstrate that we are on the right path by adopting responsible and transparent business practices.
In 2024, responsibility towards people and the environment continued to be a central pillar of our strategy. We advanced in the implementation of more sustainable processes, ensuring the use of renewable energy sources and more efficient management of natural resources. The commitment to the well-being of our employees also remained strong, with initiatives for safety, well-being, and continuous training in the workplace.
In partnership with the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics, the Altri Group carried out the Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) with the active participation of 76 employees from all the Group's companies. This advanced leadership program aimed to promote the personal and professional growth of the various teams, with the goal of continuing to strengthen the skills of our organization.
In terms of forestry, we currently manage approximately 100 thousand hectares of fully certified forest, with more than 10% conservation areas. Therefore, we seek to evaluate our ecosystems far beyond their productive potential. We look at their capacity to regulate – air quality, water cycle, pest and disease control, habitat for species, soil erosion protection, and fire protection – and also the ecosystem services they provide – environmental education and scientific knowledge, recreational activities, and aesthetic values, among others. Thinking also of our closest partners, we organized the 1 st Wood Suppliers Meeting, in recognition of the important role they play in sustainable management, promotion, conservation, and protection of the forest.
We are aware that sustainability goes beyond numbers: it is a practice that involves all our operations and is reflected in the choices we make and the impact we have on the planet. We are proud of the

close relationship of collaboration and transparency we maintain with the communities that host Altri's industrial units, always working together with the aim of fostering continuous local development.
Looking to the future, 2025 represents a new international context that increases operational complexity and the challenges faced by the industry and companies.
However, despite always considering the changes and the economic context in which we operate daily, we must keep in mind our direction and our destination. Where we intend to be in the medium and long term, so we can shape our immediate present. The year 2025 will be, above all, a year of continuity in our initiatives of innovation, sustainability, responsible growth, and operational discipline, always focusing on adding value to all our stakeholders..
Now, more than ever, it is important to reinforce our commitment to the future.
Altri is a European group, established in February 2005, a leader in the production of cellulosic fibers and sustainable forest management.
Altri's value comes from fiber: It produces cellulosic fibers for various applications, from printing and writing paper to domestic papers and the textile industry.
Altri currently owns three plants, Biotek, Caima, and Celbi, which together present a production capacity of more than 1 million tons per year.

We prioritize communication with our stakeholders, and the continuous process of materiality assessment is crucial. Through this process, we identify the primary sustainability themes that are relevant to our business, incorporating the perspectives of our stakeholders. In 2023, Altri carried out a dual materiality assessment process, incorporating the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). We considered the results of the last materiality assessment, which identified 13 material topics. All of them were incorporated into the report, and Altri set goals and targets for them. Progress was monitored and publicly disclosed. Additional information is available in the 1.5 Sustainability Statement of this Report.

Economic and operational performance is the basis of the value creation process, distributed by the various stakeholders and with significant impacts on society. Creating value from an economic perspective translates into adding value to local economies, producing products and services, paying taxes, creating jobs, and investing in the community. This is an example of the positive and stimulating influence that a company's economic performance can have on the local, national, and international economy.
To drive Altri's sustainable development, it is essential to maintain stakeholders informed about progress achievement. This report, which reflects a complete and transparent reality, intends to promote a more comprehensive visibility of the Group's activity and a better understanding of the value-creation process.
The year 2024 was marked by a slowdown in inflation in the main economies, allowing for a gradual easing of monetary policy by the central banks. This change contributed to some recovery in economic growth, although the global context continued to be affected by geopolitical challenges and uncertainties in trade policies.
The world economy grew at a steady pace of 3.2% in 2024, with forecasts of a slight acceleration to 3.3% in 2025, according to the OECD. Global inflation, driven by declines in energy and goods prices, has been on a downward path and is expected to be around 3.5% in the G20 economies in 2025. Central banks have begun to gradually cut interest rates, which should continue to support economic activity. However, still relatively high real rates may limit the expansion of consumption and investment.
Low inflation, stable employment growth and a less restrictive global monetary policy should support demand, despite some obstacles related to the need to tighten fiscal policy in several countries.
In the Eurozone, the economy grew by 0.7% in 2024, with projections of an acceleration to 1.3% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026. Average inflation in 2024 stood at 2.4% and is expected to fall to 2.1% in 2025. The European Central Bank gradually reduced interest rates throughout the year, a move that should continue, favouring private investment and consumption. However, the European economy remains vulnerable to potential trade disruptions.

MANAGEMENT REPORT PERFORMANCE
The Portuguese economy grew by 1.9% in 2024, and forecasts point to an acceleration to 2.2% in 2025. Growth was driven by the strength of the labor market, the resilience of the export sector and an increase in private consumption. Average inflation stood at 2.7% in 2024, with expectations of a drop to 2.1% in 2025. The business sector has benefited from improved financing conditions and support from European funds, but future developments will depend on political stability and the effective execution of planned public investments.
With regard to China, as it is one of the largest importers of pulp globally, its economic environment has a significant impact on global demand and pulp prices. China has recorded GDP growth of 5% in 2024, but faces structural challenges such as the slowdown in the real estate sector and weak growth in domestic demand. For 2025, the OECD predicts growth will moderate to 4.7%, reflecting the country's difficulties in boosting consumer confidence and stabilizing the financial sector.

Altri closely monitored these changes, exploring new opportunities for the current range of products and adjusting others, allowing its presence in new segments and markets.
After a strong dynamic in the first half of 2024, global pulp demand slowed down during the second semester, with the region of China as the main driver for such reduction. Although Europe and North America showed a positive behavior in 2024, the correction we have seen in China, both in pulp demand and prices, ended up influencing the dynamics in all regions.
Global demand for pulp during 2024 recorded a decrease of 1.0% vs the same period of the previous year, while the evolution of demand for Hardwood pulp was positive, with a 1.0% increase over the same period of the previous year, according to the PPPC (World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report – December 2024 – Revised).
In regional terms, and focusing on the Hardwood pulp market, which is the most relevant for the Altri Group, we positively highlight Western Europe (+13.0%), Eastern Europe (+17.8%) and North America (+10.6%). Asia, particularly China (-5.7%), showed a slowdown in 2024.

One of the relevant factors for assessing the balance of pulp demand and supply in the European market is the level of stocks in European ports. After a year of destocking in the industry, as was the year 2023, in which average inventory levels in ports rose slightly above the historical average, this trend reversed in 2024, with a greater normalization of value chains in the pulp and paper industry. From September 2023, we saw a sustained reduction in inventories, stabilizing at around 1.2 M tons during 4Q23 until June 2024. Despite the European market showing a healthy level of demand, the slowdown in demand in China in the middle of 2024 and the fall in prices in Asia led to delays in purchases by European papermakers, in the expectation of convergence with Chinese prices. After a rise in inventories at European ports in 3Q24, they stabilized during 4Q24, in line with historical averages of between 1.4M and 1.5M tons.

During 4Q24, the average price of the PIX pulp index (BHKP) in Europe fell by 20% in US\$ and 19% in Euros compared to the previous quarter, reaching an average value of US\$ 1,094/ton and ending 2024 at US\$ 1,000/ton. The year-on-year comparison with 4Q23 reflects a higher price of around 20% in both US\$ and Euros.
The destocking process we saw in the pulp and paper sector's value chain during 2023 led to higher volatility in pulp prices during that year, ending with a price recovery that lasted until June/July 2024. In addition to the increase in capacity recorded in the sector during 2024, there was a lack of dynamism in the levels of demand for paper in China for much of the year. As a result, hardwood pulp prices in

Global demand for dissolving pulp (DP) rose by 6.3% in 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, according to Numera Analytics (Global DP Demand Report - December 2024). It should be remembered that DP is essentially directed at textiles and used mainly in Asia, a region that absorbs around 85% of demand. In addition to a reduced level of volatility, DP prices are maintaining a positive trend, rising 6.6% in 2024 compared to 2023. Viscose and lyocell producers' operational utilization rates remain at very high levels in 2024, leading to solid demand for DP, its main raw material.

MANAGEMENT REPORT PERFORMANCE

After a period of strong growth in recent years, with an ambitious investment plan, the time has come to make operations more efficient and diversify their value creation strategy.
In 2024, pulp production reached 1,075.6 thousand tons, an increase of 1.4% when compared to 2023. With some slowdown during the second half of the year, the total volume of pulp sales in 2024 reached 1,078.8 thousand tons, almost unchanged (-0.2%) when compared to the same period of the previous year.

The commitment to operational excellence, one of Altri's strategic axes, implies a constant demand for continuous improvement, which will allow us to achieve competitive advantage and continuously strengthen Altri's position throughout its value chain. This commitment is shown through consistent actions implemented daily in Altri's operations, managed through the Altri Operating System.

This culture established in the Altri Group encourages the participation of all employees, identifying improvements in their daily activities and solving issues from their genesis. Encouraging communication and collaboration between the various areas, and sharing best practices and lessons learned, represents the true Altri mindset.
Through the Altri Operating System (AOS), since 2016, the KAIZEN™ methodology is used, ensuring the alignment of priorities between the three industrial units of the Group, fostering internal communication, and establishing the implementation of strategic decisions and their prioritization. The speed of adaptation to the use of these tools attests to the rooting of the culture of continuous improvement in the Altri universe. More than 14 projects were underway in 2024, operationalized through this system and applying KAIZEN™ methodologies in all the organization.

In the last edition of AOS, an annual review was carried out (Annual Hoshin Review), to analyze the work dynamics, review the objectives and their goals and identify countermeasures for possible difficulties felt and shared. As a result of this brainstorm:
The mission of the Altri Innovation team is to create opportunities that support business units with new solutions that align with the Group's strategy. By testing new ideas and collaborating with the innovation community, Altri intends to test and validate solutions and generate new opportunities.
Through the Innovation team, Altri strengthens its partnerships with customers, suppliers, research centres, and universities to offer efficient solutions. Innovation projects prioritize process optimization, circularity, and sustainability, and efficient integration of resources and materials. In 2024, Altri participated in several innovative projects in collaboration with startups and research institutions, expanding several promising projects.
Innovation is a process rooted in the business model of the Altri Group, which promotes the development of scientific and technological projects through multiple partnerships with reference scientific institutions, which allow achieving the objectives they intend to reach. The "bet" of the Altri Group in bringing innovation "in an area where there was no knowledge in Portugal" (fiber production) is valued by its stakeholders, who mentioned this aspect during the auscultation process that took place in 2023. It is Altri's active support for scientific research and its incorporation into the organization's processes and business culture that allows the company to innovate on processes and develop new products. The Altri Group is positioned at the forefront of excellence innovation and is a recognized partner of its stakeholders, offering focused, lean, and high added value solutions.

MANAGEMENT REPORT PERFORMANCE

An efficient and rigorous management, embodied, among other things, in optimized stock levels, was at the origin of the strong cash generation in 2024, which allowed us to solidify our financial situation and look with confidence at the ongoing growth projects.
During 2024, total revenues of the Altri Group reached € 855.3 M, an increase of 8.5% over 2023. This increase, as already mentioned, is attributable to a favourable evolution of Hardwood pulp prices, as a result of a more favourable global demand.
EBITDA reached € 218.3 M in 2024, an increase of 59.0% vs 2023, which corresponds to a EBITDA margin of 25.5%, which translates into a significant improvement of 8.1 p.p. when compared to the same period of last year. The Net Profit of the Altri Group in 2024 reached € 107.2 M, an increase of 150.6% over the € 42.8 M recorded in 2023.

Altri's share price closed the year of 2024 at 5.33 Euro per share. Market capitalisation at the end of 2024 was about 1,093.4 million Euro.
During the year 2024, Altri's shares were traded at a maximum price of 5.62 Euro per share and at a minimum of 4.28 Euro per share. In total, approximately 91.6 million Altri shares were traded in that period, corresponding to 44.6% of the issued capital.
The main events that marked the evolution of the Group's shares in 2024 can be chronologically described as follows:


MANAGEMENT REPORT PERFORMANCE
In November 2023, the Altri Group obtained funding of 50 million Euro through the issuance of Green Bonds, with a maturity of five years, until 2028, with interest at the rate equal to Euribor at 6 months and added spread, to refund the "Caima Go Green" Project.
For a more responsible investment, companies have at their disposal instruments such as Green Bonds, which represent a form of fundraising different from traditional stocks and bonds. Green bonds stand out for their purpose: Raising capital for environmental projects.
The bond issuance process requires transparency and disclosure of detailed financial information, meeting specific market requirements and involving regulators, rating agencies, and investors. In addition to assessing the typical financial characteristics, such as maturity, price, and credit quality of the issuer, investors also evaluate the specific environmental objective of the projects that the bonds intend to support. In particular, green bonds have attracted investors from the growing segment focused on sustainable and responsible investment, as well as investors who incorporate ESG criteria as part of their investment analysis.
The "Caima Go Green" Project aimed at the transition of Caima to a production entirely based on renewable sources, abandoning fossil fuels in its production process. Caima is the first Iberian company in its industry to achieve this milestone, reinforcing the Altri Group's commitment to sustainability.
With this operation, organized, assembled, and fully subscribed by Banco BPI, it was possible to finance the installation of a forest waste biomass boiler and a new turbo generator of 5 MW at Caima, in Constância, that operates with residual forest biomass.
The issuance is part of the Altri Green Bond Framework, a document that obtained a positive Second Party Opinion ("SPO") from ESG ratings and specialized independent research company, Sustainalytics, in particular regarding its alignment with the Green Bond Principles published by the International Capital Market Association. To strengthen transparency with the market, an additional external verification was carried out on the allocation report by Ernst & Young Audit & Associados, SROC, S.A. The corresponding reports and verification statements can be found in Annexes J. Green Bonds Report Caima - 2023-2028, K. Sustainability Report (Green Bonds Second Party Opinion), and L. Green Bonds External Verification Report.
In 2024, Caima's new boiler produced a total of 917.078 MWh of renewable energy, and Altri reinforced its commitment to the Group's sustainability goals and targets, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the expectations of its stakeholders. This resulted in the establishment of the Altri Group's "Commitment 2030".
It is an excellent example of decarbonization and innovation from a circular economy perspective. The environmental objectives that this project are explained in greater detail in section 1.5.2.Environment.
Altri is exposed to uncertainties in the internal and external environments that are inherent to its activity, diversity, and geographical dispersion of its companies. This can trigger risks associated with personal accidents, process safety, environmental impacts, asset damage, reputation damage, operational failures, and breaches, among others, resulting in subsequent financial losses.
Implementing an Internal Control System provides a holistic view of the Group's main risks and opportunities. The Internal Control System enables its strategic management within the scope of its risk appetite, increasing the probability of organizational objectives being achieved.
These risks are managed based on a Risk Management model that complies with international standards and guidelines (ISO 31000 and COSO - Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) and the three-line defense risk governance model.
The objective is to promote integration among strategy, risk management, implementation of control, and governance of the company.
Risk management at Altri is integral to a regulatory framework that covers a set of policies, standards, and procedures based on the Risk Management Policy and the Risk Management Governance Model approved by the Board of Directors.
At Altri, the procedures, systems, and governance structure support the Group in managing its risk exposure. Risk management is, therefore, a key part of Altri's decision-making processes.
The governance model is discussed in greater detail in the Company's Governance Report of this report.
Altri develops a systematic and continuous process for identifying, evaluating, and managing risks and opportunities. This is implemented through three lines of defence providing reasonable assurance that the Group's objectives will be achieved while creating and preserving value for stakeholders.

The expressed levels correspond to the residual risk level, which consists of the level of risk verified in the event of the absence of controls or other response measures to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and/or impact of the risk.

This Sustainability Statement, part of Altri's Annual Report, covers the reporting period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and was consolidated and considers the same consolidation perimeter of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Only Altri SGPS is covered by the obligation to submit a sustainability report, and all its subsidiaries included in this report are exempt from this obligation.
This is Altri's first sustainability report prepared under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), published in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of July 31, 2023 (rectified on April 19, 2024, by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/90241), which established the first set of European Union sustainability reporting standards for adoption by large companies, comprising twelve non-sectoral standards, two of them transversal, and the remaining structured around the three pillars: environment, social and governance. The sectoral rules have not yet been published; they are being developed by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG).
This statement of sustainability prepares Altri for alignment with Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022, published on 5 January 2023, amending Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC and Directive 2013/34/EU with regard to business sustainability reporting (CSRD), but not completed in the Portuguese legal process in 2024.

This year's sustainability report was structured in a statement of sustainability composed of four sections, in line with the one defined in ESRS 1, in the following order:
It is further noted that Altri did not use the option to omit any specific elements of information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how, or innovation results.
Regarding the scope of the value chain, it was considered in the analysis of double materiality, namely when identifying impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs). For the material themes identified along the value chain, follow-up metrics are applied, such as accounting of CO2 emissions of scope 3 in all applicable or materially relevant categories. Group policies, actions, and goals also cover the entire value chain.
In the context of the sustainability statement, the following time horizons were considered:
We make evaluations and estimates for reporting some data points using indirect sources, including sectoral averages and proxies.
For reporting GHG emissions from scope 3, we use estimates that combine, in general, activity data with emission factors, as it is not feasible to obtain accurate data and supplier-specific emission factors for all emission categories within scope 3. In some cases, we use more comprehensive activity data or more generic emission factors and extrapolate this information to fill any gaps in the available data. The basis for preparing these estimates is described in the respective indicators.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
We regularly review the use of estimates and judgments, considering experience, the evolution of ESG reporting, and several other factors. Any changes to the estimates are recognized in the period in which the review takes place.
Whenever metrics subject to a high level of measurement uncertainty are disclosed throughout the sustainability statement, this information will be indicated with the respective metrics, the sources of measurement uncertainty, and the assumptions, approximations, and value judgments used.
Regarding the 2024 report, the main changes in data preparation and presentation relate to the change of the GRI reporting framework for reporting aligned with the ESRS.
In the disclosure requirement of ESRS2 GOV-1, a reference to Annex I of the Corporate Governance Report regarding the competencies and knowledge of the Board of Directors was inserted.
Altri opted for the disclosure of comparisons for the ESRS data points since this is the first reporting year, and not all previously reported indicators were aligned with the methodology established by these standards. Indicators disclosed on a specific entity basis (entity-specific), as is the case with health and safety indicators at work, are presented comparatively. In Annex H. GRI Table, it is possible to find the GRI table reported in 2023, allowing the query of historical information.
For the first year of reporting, some phase-in provisions applicable to all entities provided for in ESRS were used, in particular as regards disclosures concerning the financial effects of material risks under the disclosure requirements SBM-3, E1-9, E2-6, E3-5, E4-6, and E5-6.
Regarding voluntary data points, all those whose information was already available or for which it was possible to collect on time, taking into account the cost-benefit of information for users, the information, Altri chose to include the information in the statement. The remaining ones were omitted in this first year of the report.
(GOV-1)
It is the responsibility of any company to foster a model of institutional governance that proves to be practical and effective, sufficiently adapted to the size of the Group and capable of responding to the growing demands of the market and society in general. Altri is committed to the constant strengthening of its governance model and works diligently to become a more responsible, ethical, and transparent Group. This commitment characterizes the way of working of the teams and the organizational structure of the Group, which has a profoundly positive impact on relations with all stakeholders.

The governance structure of Altri consists of the following bodies, responsible for the strategic and holistic management of the organization:

The Altri Board of Directors comprises six executive members and nine non-executive members, of whom 20% are independent. The percentage of women on the Board of Directors is 33%, which corresponds to a gender diversity index of 0.5.
Although employees and other workers are not directly represented in the company's supervisory bodies, Altri attaches great importance to their continuous consultation through its representatives and trade unions. The section Involvement with workers themselves and workers' representatives presents more detailed information on the consultation of employees and unions.
Annex 1 of the Company's Government Report describes the competences and knowledge of the members of the Board of Directors. Considering their training and experience, the governing, management, and supervisory bodies ensure the availability of the expertise necessary to supervise sustainability issues.
In this context, as Altri Group companies reinforce their commitment to sustainable and socially responsible business practices, the different committees assume an increasingly relevant role in implementing and overseeing ESG responsibilities.

In Altri's organizational structure, the role of the Board of Directors is crucial in the efficient delegation of responsibilities and in the definition of strategic guidelines. In compliance with the best practices of good corporate governance, there are four committees within the Board of Directors: (I) Executive Committee, (ii) Ethics Committee, and (iii) Sustainability, Audit and Risk Committee (constituted by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted on June 5, 2023, following the election of the corporate bodies, decided at the Annual General Assembly, for the term 2023/2025) and also (iv) Corporate Governance Committee (constituted by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted on September 19, 2024).
Structured documents such as the Code of Conduct or the Sustainability Policy reflect individual and collective responsibilities regarding impacts, risks, and opportunities. These documents establish clear guidelines for responsible decision-making and align with sustainability principles.
The risk management process is integral to the organization's daily operations. It is gaining increasing importance, and a specific division—the Directorate of Risk Management—is dedicated exclusively to this matter. As a cornerstone of the principles of good governance of society, this directorate promotes the permanent awareness of all employees, at different levels of the organization, inculcating such responsibility to them in all decision-making processes. The Risk Management Directorate aims to support the organization in executing its activities and ensure the maintenance of the risk management system transversal to the Group. It executes the processes defined to identify, analyse, evaluate, mitigate, and monitor the main risks of the Group, whether financial, operational, strategic, or compliance risks.
In this way, consistent and transversal practices are guaranteed in the operationalization of the Risk Policy, approved by the Board of Directors.
The monitoring of the risk management process is carried out by the Board of Directors, with the support of the Risk Management Directorate, which is responsible for defining the framework of objectives and responsibilities of the organization. The identification, evaluation, monitoring, control, and mitigation of the main risks – financial, operational, strategic, or compliance – follow a structured process described in Point 54 of the Corporate Governance Report.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The Risk Management Directorate reports hierarchically to the Executive Committee of the Altri Group, namely the Director with the Sustainability, Risk, Communication, People, and Talent, articulating its activity, in particular, with the Internal Audit Directorate and the Compliance Directorate.
The Sustainability, Audit and Risk Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, has as its primary mission to participate in defining and monitoring the Altri Group's sustainability and risk policy and strategy, aligned with the Commitment 2030. In addition to having non-executive and executive directors in its composition, it is also integrated by the leaders of the Group directorates, who are dedicated to areas that should assist this committee's activity. This ensures the information and involvement of both the Board of Directors and the various areas of the Group.

In the performance of its tasks, the Sustainability, Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Board of Directors the performance of sustainability indicators in line with the established policies, commitments, objectives, and targets, as well as ensuring, in terms of sustainability, the alignment of sustainability objectives with the sustainable development objectives set out in the United Nations agenda, with the results of stakeholder consultation and good practices in the industry and also in matters of audit and risk, review the statements of semi-annual and quarterly accounts, and advise the Board of Directors on its reports to shareholders.
Also in this context, the Sustainability Working Group (GTS), which develops its activity at the corporate level, and includes members from all directorates, with the aim of managing and streamlining sustainability-related issues, expediting processes, and identifying needs. GTS is responsible for operationalizing the decisions and guidelines defined by the Executive Board and the Board of Directors.

The relevant governing, management, and supervisory bodies and committees are informed about the impacts, risks, and opportunities, as well as the implementation of due diligence and the results and effectiveness of policies, metrics, and targets, in different ways. In particular, and as mentioned above, executive and non-executive directors, including the Executive Director responsible for Sustainability, Risk, Communication, People, and Talent, as well as the Head of the Legal Department, whose areas must assist the activity of these committees, are part of the Ethics Committee and the Sustainability, Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, the Committee on Sustainability, Audit and Risk meets quarterly, reporting to the Board of Directors its activity and issuing prior opinions on matters related to climate change, environment, sustainability, and risk that integrate the areas affected by it, namely impacts, risks and opportunities of the Altri Group, as well as the results of the mechanisms of response to them (policies, actions, metrics, and targets), to support the resolutions taken by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors attends these meetings as a member. The board of directors also receives monthly reports on the organization's performance, including updates on the Commitment 2030.
Thus, an appropriate mechanism for monitoring the Group's performance is guaranteed.

To contribute to sustainable development and to base strategic priorities on objectives of continuous improvement, innovation and sustainability, assuming sustainability as a factor of competitiveness.
The Altri Group governance model comprises a robust strategy for monitoring impacts, risks, and opportunities provided by different specialized agencies and departments. The Sustainability, Audit and Risk Committee follows the work developed in this area, while the Supervisory Board continuously monitors the Group's performance. The Internal Audit Directorate, with hierarchical reporting to the Executive Committee and functional reporting to the Supervisory Board, reinforces the effectiveness of risk management, internal controls and government processes, supporting Altri in achieving its objectives by promoting a systematic and disciplined approach.
The mission of the Compliance Directorate is to assume the responsibilities outlined in legislation and regulations in force, mitigating financial, economic, legal, and reputational risks. It also ensures that governing bodies, management, and all employees are aware of the applicable legal and regulatory rules, including codes, regulations, and policies, internal and external, relevant to the various areas of activity of the Altri Group.


MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
In addition, Altri's policy in this area is guided by delegating to the Legal Directorate the permanent monitoring of regulatory changes, ensuring that the Board of Directors has the necessary information for decision-making and implementation of continuous improvement measures.
Periodic materiality assessment, annual risk analysis, and internal audits are key tools for identifying strategic, operational, financial, and compliance risks and ensuring an effective response to market uncertainties and opportunities.
Strategic supervision is also complemented by mapping and continuous validation of impacts, risks, and opportunities, involving several directorates of the industrial units, namely in the areas of production, maintenance, forest management, supply, and logistics. The technological monitoring of innovation, energy, product development, and digital transformation reinforces the Group's ability to anticipate trends and adopt innovative solutions.
The Group Board of Directors monitors its strategy and internal processes based on structured reports on Risk Management, Internal Audit, and materiality analysis results, ensuring an informed decisionmaking process aligned with the market's challenges and demands.
This program follows a methodology for evaluating employees' performance to align performance objectives and expectations, recognize talent, and reward merit. It's a program that includes a methodology for evaluating employee performance by objectives, which makes it possible to align performance objectives and expectations, recognize talent and reward merit. This was the second year of applying the model, ensuring the consistency of a management by objectives process at Altri.
During 2024, all material impacts, risks and opportunities resulting from the most recent dual materiality analysis were addressed by the Board of Directors. A description of how they were addressed can be found in the "actions" section, in the respective thematic standards.

Minimum social safeguards require the implementation of procedures to ensure alignment of the activity with the Guidelines of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for multinational companies with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Charter of Human Rights.
The Group continuously identifies and assesses potential and actual adverse impacts related to human rights and defines preventive and mitigating actions accordingly. Risk identification is integrated into due diligence processes and feeds into the Group's Risk Management process. Altri is committed to avoiding situations where its activities cause or contribute to adverse impacts on human rights. Therefore, it continues to develop its due diligence processes in line with the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
Altri, through the Human Rights Policy, has publicly committed itself to respecting and avoiding adverse impacts on all internationally recognized human rights in all its activities, in particular, as regards freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, and the right not to subjection to forced labor, child labor or discrimination in relation to employment and occupation. Altri strengthens

its position by joining the United Nations Global Compact, extending its commitment and ensuring responsible performance throughout the entire Group value chain.
Altri's production units are defining a new approach to enhancing the due diligence process for Altri's operations, in conjunction with Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) audits to improve the transparency of the value chain, which is an essential component of the due diligence.
Altri is a member of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex), a platform where companies share unit-specific sustainability information with customers. SMETA audits are conducted regularly to assess suppliers' performance in relation to applicable labor standards, health and safety, environmental, and business ethics criteria.
Since then, the approach has been shared with other directorates, and by the end of 2023, it had been extended to Risk Management, specifically in the human rights scope. The process that complements SMETA's audits focuses on dialogue and improvement opportunities, extending the scope of stakeholder groups to include the employees themselves.
Altri also demonstrates a commitment to avoid adverse impacts that may arise from operations or business relationships and to minimize the negative impact that its activities have or may have on the communities where it develops them, while emphasizing the expectation of adherence by all entities related to the Group.
We focus on continuous improvement by structuring our processes and activities based on recognized national and international standards, as evidenced by external certifications and recognitions. Validation of our processes based on these benchmarks is a sign of confidence that our activity is managed and structured to improve continuously. Altri Group has implemented ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 45001 certified systems that help identify and meet customer requirements and systematically improve product quality and environmental, energy, and occupational safety management.
Finally, all Group products comply with applicable EU legislation. Many are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) or have received another verification of the responsible chain of custody and due diligence.

In the context of the sustainability report, the Group considers it essential that the information disclosed is precise, relevant, reliable, and error-free. To ensure this commitment, it has an integrated and multidisciplinary system for identifying, evaluating, prioritizing, managing, and monitoring risks, including those related to sustainability reporting.
engagement for feedback collection.
Altri follows and monitors the effectiveness of the efforts by tracking the outcome of the actions implemented, targets, and metrics, and stakeholders'
The Group's Internal Control System covers the areas of Sustainability and Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit, each with specific responsibilities. The Sustainability and Risk area conducts periodic assessments of Material Topics and Business Risks, reviewing risk analyses every two years and assessing mitigation actions annually. The Compliance Direction ensures knowledge of applicable legal and regulatory rules (including codes, regulations and policies, both internal and external), mitigating financial, economic, legal and reputational risks, while Internal Audit assesses operational processes, considering materially relevant impacts, risks and opportunities.
Altri has reported sustainability information since 2018, having developed a robust information collection and review process. However, with the adoption of the first report aligned with the ESRS, adaptations were necessary to ensure compliance with the new requirements. The main risks identified in this process are related to the completeness and accuracy of the reported data.
The conclusions of risk assessment and internal controls are integrated into the sustainability report through a structured and transversal approach to internal functions and processes. The identified risks and their mitigation measures are incorporated into the governance and information management processes, ensuring the reliability, traceability, and compliance of the disclosed data. Specific internal controls are defined to reinforce this approach, and continuous collaboration between Sustainability,

Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit is promoted. This enables continuous monitoring of material risks and the implementation of corrective actions whenever necessary.
Additionally, periodic reviews and independent audits are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the controls and to promote the continuous improvement of the reporting process. The governing and supervisory bodies are regularly informed of the risk assessment results through quarterly meetings of the Board of Directors, and the activities of the Risk Management Board are followed at the meetings of the Sustainability, Audit, and Risk Committee.

Altri is a European group, established in February 2005, a leader in the production of cellulosic fibers and sustainable forest management.
Altri's value comes from fiber: It produces cellulosic fibers for various applications, from printing and writing paper to domestic papers and the textile industry.


Altri is committed to managing its performance in line with the defined strategic axes. These are directly related to sustainability issues and are based on four sectors of activity, as presented in the image below:


The Altri Group is made up of seventeen companies. At a production level, Altri's operations are divided into the following organic structure:

In the cellulosic fiber field, Altri currently owns three plants with an annual production capacity exceeding 1 million tons. Specifically, the main activity of Biotek and Celbi is the production of cellulosic fibers BEKP (Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp), which is primarily used to produce paper for domestic use, printing, and writing. In Caima, despite the similarity of the main activity, soluble cellulosic fibers DWP (Dissolved Wood Pulp) are produced to be mainly used in the production of manmade cellulosic fibers, as lyocel and viscose, which are used in the production of textiles.
For sustainable forest management, Altri manages about 101 thousand hectares of certified forests, which include approximately 11,7 thousand hectares of conservation areas.
At the national level, Altri is present in several municipalities, managing forest areas located within these municipalities. The three industrial units are located in three of those municipalities: Biotek in Vila Velha de Ródão, Caima in Constância, and Celbi in Figueira da Foz. Altri had a total of 799 employees in its operations as of December 31, 2024.

Altri has been establishing a central position, promoting sustainability throughout the integrated value chain of its businesses. Altri maximizes integrated margin competently, ensuring the ability to navigate portfolio market dynamics securely and manage risk. It also seeks to proactively and accurately capitalize on business opportunities that add value beyond its capital position.
Capacities have been strengthened, promoting greater internal interactions that protect against the impacts of volatile market conditions. This continuous process ensures a competitive offer in Altri's leading business and allows quick access to new sources of value. Effective management is crucial for creating long-term, integrated value by leveraging portfolio flexibility and resilience across all value chains.
On a global scale, Altri markets its products in more than 35 countries, primarily focusing on bleached cellulosic fibers (BEKP) and dissolving cellulosic fibers (DWP). The BEKP is predominantly intended for European countries, while DWP's main focus is Asia, especially China, which represents Altri's main market.

Altri's global presence enabled us to achieve a total revenue of € 710.4 million in 2024, primarily through the production and marketing of cellulosic fibers.
Altri's business model has the main objective of creating long-term value based on sustainability criteria. Companies cannot succeed if civil society fails, and natural resources are exhausted. To demonstrate the evolution of the value creation process, from the resources to the results achieved by the Altri Group, it is essential to have an integrated overview of the company's activity.

Altri has a strategic axis that affirms sustainability as a factor of competitiveness. Thus, it continues to provide solutions that meet the needs of communities, adding value to all stakeholders. The Altri Group is dedicated to developing sustainable and renewable products.
This project is framed in Altri's Commitment 2030. In 2024, this trajectory of articulating sustainability in strategic development and investment decisions was continued.
The assumptions of the Commitment 2030 guide our long-term priorities, ensuring the objective and disciplined execution of initiatives in the business and corporate units.

In 2020, Altri joined the United Nations Call to Action and integrated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its strategy through its Commitment 2030. Agenda 2030 is a plan to achieve a better future for all, setting a path by 2030 to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet.

Note: Progress is calculated using the formula: Progress= ((value in the year - base year value)/(target value - base year value))*100. When calculating the % of waste recovered, waste recovered energetically is included.
The targets defined in the 2030 commitment are quite ambitious, given that, in some of them, Altri is already a benchmark in the sector worldwide. Achieving the targets set presupposes heavy investment in innovative technologies and therefore longer delivery times. Therefore, reductions will not be continuous, but will occur in stages following these projects.
Altri operates in different areas, developing processes, solutions, and sustainable products throughout its value chain.

Altri has sought to act comprehensively throughout its value chain, aiming to encourage improvements and drive innovation with benefits for both its business results and the environment and people. In particular, the Group's commitment to supply chain management stands out.
Suppliers are key to the value chain, as Altri's activity is intrinsically linked to the responsiveness of suppliers, both in the provision of services and the delivery of materials, as well as compliance with legal, tax, environmental, and sustainability requirements. All these considerations are particularly relevant to maintaining a trust relationship with suppliers.
To promote the local and national economy, Altri prioritizes, in its choice of suppliers, those that are national. In 2024, 74% of total supplier expenses was with national suppliers.
To ensure the reliability of forest-based products, Biond-Forest Fibers from Portugal, along with its associates, including Altri, began developing additional mechanisms for controlling and validating operations.

The FM Portal ("Forest Management") was created, and a Woodchain solution for use by forest management certificate holders for the issuance of unique codes that accompany wood from the forest to the factory, allowing greater control of the process (management of labels, volumes, certificates) and monitoring of "real-time" flows and alerts.
This solution ensures greater reliability and confidence in the chain of custody of wood from forests with certified management, as it allows forest managers to control the quantities of wood received by the industry based on their estimates in the forest.
In its operations, Altri ensures the production of several types of cellulosic fibers intended for diverse uses, ranging from printing and writing paper to domestic papers and fibers for the textile sector.

Identifying the most relevant stakeholders is crucial to the success of any organization, as it enables an understanding of the expectations, interests, and influence of the parties involved. Altri has been establishing several partnerships and initiatives in collaboration with various stakeholders, with special emphasis on key stakeholders, as it recognizes the vital importance of this involvement in defining strategic objectives in order to achieve long-term success. Altri's involvement is maintained through constant dialogue, which is fundamental to identifying its concerns, global trends and market expectations.
At the internal level, a reflection workshop was held to map the main stakeholders. By recognizing the most relevant stakeholders, Altri can make more informed decisions, develop trust relationships, and mitigate potential impacts. 11 stakeholder groups were identified. For each group, the set of engagement initiatives, detailed in the following scheme, was defined. The engagement with

Altri carried out its Dual Materiality Analysis (DMA) exercise in 2023, in line with the draft version of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) published in November 2022.
The double materiality analysis encompasses the impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) associated with the company's own operations, as well as those in the upstream and downstream value chains. The evaluation followed a predefined methodology for determining the materiality of impact and financial materiality, which is described in greater detail in the following sections.
The impacts, risks, and opportunities in Altri's own operations were identified considering the various areas of operation and countries where the group operates. The double materiality analysis also incorporated the upstream and downstream value chain. To ensure a thorough analysis of potential impacts, risks, and opportunities, Altri has identified all activities within its value chain and taken them into account when assessing these factors.
Altri's dual materiality analysis followed the five steps detailed below:
In the preparation phase, Altri defined the scope of activities within its own operations and along its value chain that would be included in the dual materiality assessment. Altri's value chain was categorized into three segments: Upstream value chain, own operations, and downstream value chain, as outlined in Strategy, Business Model, and Value Chain section. For each category, the primary business activities, geographies, and key stakeholders involved were identified. The grouping of activities served as the basis for identifying potential impacts, risks, and opportunities. It provided guidance on potential critical points or stakeholders that should be involved in the DMA process.
Additionally, a list of relevant stakeholders affected has been drawn.
The starting point for the mapping of stakeholders to be heard was those already considered in previous exercises. In addition, it has been ensured that:
The following stakeholders were then identified, grouped into two categories: Affected stakeholders and users of sustainability statements:
Based on the scope of the double materiality analysis and the identified stakeholders, 23 experts within the Group were selected to participate in the process. Experts have been selected based on their experience in their area of sustainability or on their involvement in global risk management or Altri's financial and sustainability reporting.
Based on the business model and the group industry, potential impacts, risks, and opportunities were identified by the guidelines included in the ESRS. By compiling the extensive list of IROs, Altri leveraged the priority topics identified through a benchmark analysis with industry companies and a framework of international references.
The interests of the stakeholders were incorporated into the analysis of double materiality, as established by the ESRS.

The stakeholders identified in point 1 were consulted, through the realization of:
The interests of stakeholders informed the identification and evaluation of the impacts.
The impacts, risks, and opportunities identified were evaluated based on the defined parameters. Before the evaluation phase, the experts participated in a workshop on DMA methodology and were assigned to different themes based on their area of expertise. The experts collectively evaluated the impacts, risks, and opportunities, with the support of the project's central team throughout the process. The impacts were evaluated quantitatively, using the defined scales, and qualitatively, establishing the basis for their assessment.
In the second step of double materiality analysis, "Identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities", the impacts on Altri's business activities and value chain were examined. The experts categorized the impacts as directly or indirectly linked to Altri's activities.
According to the ESRS orientation, the actual impacts identified were evaluated for severity, while the potential impacts identified were assessed for severity and probability of occurrence. Gravity is defined as the sum of scale, scope, and irremediability. An additional factor contributing to positive impacts was included: Lasting impact character. For potential impacts, gravity is multiplied by probability, and the product is compared with an appropriate materiality limit, determined by Altri. The three parameters of scale, scope, and irremediability were defined as follows:
Scale: How serious is the negative impact, or how beneficial is the positive impact on people or the environment?
Scope: What is the extent of the impact?
Irremediability: Whether and to what extent negative impacts can be remedied, for example, restoring the environment or the affected people to their previous state.
Lasting character: How long-lasting is the positive impact?
The evaluation was performed separately for the positive and negative impacts, that is, no trade-off applied.
The impacts were classified as actual or potential. Actual impacts were defined as impacts that occurred or are currently present, while potential impacts were defined as impacts that may occur in the future. In addition, the impacts were also classified as caused directly (Altri is solely responsible for the impacts on people or the environment, since the impacts are caused directly by its operations, products or services), contributed (the impacts to which Altri contributed are those not caused directly and exclusively by operations, products or services, but jointly with third parties), or directly linked (impacts directly linked to the operations, products and services caused by Altri's commercial relationship. In this case, the intervener who causes or contributes to the impact is linked to the Group

through a commercial relationship. Finally, the time horizon of the impacts was classified as short-term (<1 year), medium-term (1-5 years), or long-term (>5 years).
Quantitative scales of impact materiality were defined as follows:
Sum of the scale score, scope score, and score of irreducibility/lasting impact character, multiplied by the quantitative probability factor (when potential).
In the second phase of the DMA, "Identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities", risks and opportunities were examined across all Altri's business and value chain activities.
According to ESRS, the magnitude and probability of occurrence were evaluated for risks and opportunities. The magnitude is based on the financial implications of a particular risk or opportunity in Altri's operations. The magnitude is multiplied by the probability, and this amount is compared with a certain predefined threshold, which is defined as follows.
Magnitude: Assessment of the potential amount of financial loss (risk) or gain (opportunity).


Quantitative scales of financial materiality were defined as follows:
Magnitude: 1 = very low; 2 = low; 3 = medium; 4 = high; 5 = very high
Probability: 1 = very low to 5 = very high.
Risks and Opportunities: Magnitude score multiplied by the quantitative probability factor.
In the context of risk and opportunity assessment, comparability was ensured with the non-financial risk assessment already used by the Altri risk management team. Therefore, the financial value of magnitude, scale, and probability is based on the existing criteria for assessing financial risk.
Once the initial assessment has been completed, the project's core team analyzes the assessment, focusing on consistency, integrality, and overall coherence.
To ensure that the results of the dual materiality analysis are widely supported and based in various areas of Altri specialization, different groups of internal stakeholders were involved in the decisionmaking process since the administration, several directorates of 3 industrial units, representing areas of production, maintenance, forest management, supply and logistics to ensure that the results are representative of the activities and operations of the Altri Group.
The project's central team, comprising representatives from the sustainability function and the financial department, also supported the decision-making process.
A specific group of internal stakeholders involved was the Risk Management team. Risk Management was involved in defining the methodological approach, particularly in establishing the scales of financial materiality and the threshold of financial materiality. Additionally, the risk management team was involved in assessing and validating risks and opportunities.
Once the project team consolidated the validation, they presented the results to the Executive Board, which approved them.
In identifying and assessing impacts, risks, and opportunities, the key factor was the experience of experts and the central team. In the identification, evaluation, and validation stages, internal stakeholders were encouraged to include relevant internal qualitative information and quantitative data sources. Besides that, risk management has provided data on potential risks and opportunities. A benchmarking analysis was also conducted to ensure that all possible material themes would be addressed during the study of double materiality.


MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The review of the different risk and business opportunities analyses is done twice a year, which in turn leads to the annual review of mitigation and management actions of risks and opportunities. During these analyses, Altri performs a cross-assessment between the magnitude of impact and the probability of occurrence, resulting in a relevance matrix that allows the prioritization of the identified risks. The Board member of the Sustainability Direction is responsible for managing sustainability risks and for defining and proposing evaluation and monitoring methodologies.
The theme of pollution was also included in the process of double materiality analysis. Thematic specialists from Altri, with recognized expertise in this field, were integrated into the process of identifying and evaluating impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with water and soil air pollution. This detailed analysis included all locations where the Altri Group operates, including activities along the value chain.
Altri identifies water-related risks in the components of availability (scarcity), quality, and efficient use (reduction of use to the minimum technically possible). Environmental work at Altri sites, including water management and resource efficiency, is supported by third-party certified environmental management systems. All industrial units are certified by the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
IRO's management is implemented in coordination with the relevant business units and corporate teams, including the Risk Management team, thus ensuring the definition of an action plan to minimize and mitigate these risks. In summary, the risk of water scarcity and drought affects forest productivity and access to wood (raw material), as well as the production process of industrial units that depend on water consumption for the production of cellulosic fibers.
During the analysis of dual materiality of the Altri Group, impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with biodiversity and ecosystems were identified. The Group takes a structured approach to identify and evaluate actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities on its facilities and the value chain.
To identify the impacts on its own operations, Altri mapped sensitive areas from the perspective of biodiversity, including high conservation value areas and sensitive habitats within the managed forest. Additionally, the Group implements programs to monitor fauna, flora, and the quality of ecosystems in the managed forests.
The Group's alignment with standards such as the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) ensures strict criteria for the protection of biodiversity.
In the value chain, the identification of impacts related to biodiversity is achieved through evaluations of suppliers' environmental performance, ensuring that sustainable practices are followed in logging.
Altri uses forest certification and third-party traceability systems to know the origin of all the wood it uses and ensure it comes from sustainable sources. These include the Forest Stewardship Council

(FSC) Controlled Chain of Custody/Wood Scheme, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Chain of Custody/Due Diligence System, and the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
The impacts, risks, and opportunities identified are evaluated using quantitative criteria, such as the area of critical habitats impacted or restored, and the number of protected species monitored.
As qualitative criteria, Altri considers the assessment of ecosystem integrity, compliance with environmental laws, voluntary conservation commitments, and feedback from local communities and stakeholders.
The Altri Group has operations in classified areas (protected areas). Altri identifies the natural habitats in managed forests and implements biodiversity management plans with the aim of maintaining and improving the condition of these habitats and safeguarding the disturbance of protected species. To this end, it defines in its Forest Management System areas dedicated to the conservation of species and habitats with various levels of protection:
In addition, Altri has defined and implemented a conservation program, Altri Diversity, which coordinates a set of projects aimed at maintaining and improving the conservation status of wild birds populations, as well as preserving natural habitats and flora.
The double materiality analysis includes the identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities related to resource use and the circular economy. In this process, Altri's thematic experts were integrated with recognized knowledge about the entry and exit of resources and waste in the industrial units of the Altri Group. In addition, this analysis extended to activities along the company's value chain.
The double materiality analysis involves identifying the impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with business conduct. In this process, Altri's thematic specialists were integrated with recognized knowledge on the subject to which the responsibility was attributed to identifying the impacts, risks, and opportunities in Altri's own operations and throughout the entire value chain related to business conduct. For this identification, criteria such as the location of operations and the regulatory, socioeconomic, and cultural context of the company were taken into consideration.

STATUTORY AND AUDITOR'S REPORT REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Altri adopts a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing environmental topics, aligned with international best practices and regulations. This approach is supported by robust governance structures and global environmental policies that guide all Group operations.
At Altri, environmental management is coordinated by dedicated bodies that ensure the implementation and monitoring of environmental policies across all areas of the Group's activity. These bodies include an Executive Board, composed of senior management members, which defines environmental strategies and supervises their implementation.
The principle of environmental protection is deeply rooted in the core values of Altri. The Group recognizes the importance of sustainability as one of its key pillars for long-term success and incorporates environmentally responsible practices into all its activities. This commitment is reflected in the transversal environmental objectives that guide the Group's management, including the preservation of natural resources, minimization of environmental impacts, and promotion of a circular economy.
The objective of environmental management at Altri is to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility in all operations. The Group strives to continuously improve its environmental performance through innovation, resource efficiency, and the adoption of clean technologies. This commitment is aimed not only at complying with regulatory requirements, but also at contributing to the overall well-being of communities and the environment.
Altri stands out for its commitment to reducing carbon footprint, efficiency in water and energy use, and minimizing waste production. These actions are supported by significant investments in sustainable technologies and the implementation of operational practices designed to conserve natural resources.
The European Union has been working to address the major global environmental challenges and to guide society toward sustainable development.
Given the nature of global environmental challenges, a systemic and forward-looking approach to environmental sustainability needs to be followed, which runs counter to rising negative trends, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, excessive resource consumption, food shortages, ocean acidification, the deterioration of freshwater reserves and the alteration of the soil use system, as well as the emergence of new threats, such as hazardous chemicals and their combined effects.
The pursuit of these objectives requires allocating a substantial capital value to sustainable projects, and the aim should be to promote them and eliminate obstacles to their funding. In addition, there is a growing need for transparency and the inclusion of environmental and social risks in corporate governance models, as well as to understand how companies respond to them.
The European Union has made efforts to harmonize the criteria that define whether economic activity is qualified as environmentally sustainable. In this sense, EU Regulation 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy) promotes cross-border harmonization and financing of businesses and activities, aiming to facilitate the raising of funding for environmentally sustainable projects. This Regulation establishes uniform criteria for selecting the assets underlying these investments.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The regulation of the European Union taxonomy published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 18 June 2020 establishes the framework to support the classification of economically sustainable activities from an environmental point of view for investment purposes, and it is a key instrument for achieving the path of carbon neutrality proposed by the European Commission and adopted in 2019 with the European Ecological Pact.
To comply with this regulation, two delegated acts were published in the Official Journal of the European Union in 2021. In 2022, an additional delegated act was published, and in 2023, and four new delegated acts were adopted, which introduced new activities under the EU TAXONOMY:
Altri has been closely following major regulatory developments related to taxonomy and other ESG reports and disclosures.
The environmental objectives set out in the EU Taxonomy correspond to the following: (i) climate change mitigation; (ii) climate change adaptation; (iii) sustainable use and protection of water and

marine resources; (iv) transition to a circular economy; (v) pollution prevention and control; and (vi) protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
For the purposes of EU taxonomy, an eligible economic activity means an economic activity described in the delegated acts that complement the Taxonomy Regulation, regardless of whether this economic activity meets any or all of the technical criteria set out in those delegated acts.
An ineligible economic activity means any economic activity that is not described in delegated acts that complement the Taxonomy Regulation. Finally, an aligned economic activity means an economic activity that meets all of the following requirements:
Since its establishment, Altri has been carrying out its activities in an ethical, complete and transparent way, providing results that are the result of its vision of management, the efficiency of its processes, the continuous innovation, the professionalism and competence of its team, the competitiveness of its supply and its reputation in the market. In this sense, Altri intends to continue developing the necessary actions to position itself as a reference, ensuring alignment with international macroeconomic objectives and maintaining its long-term economic competitiveness.
In accordance with Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the European Council, Altri is obliged to publish non-financial statements, Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of 18 June 2020 – Definition of a Framework to facilitate sustainable investment. Thus, Altri implemented in 2022 a process of structuring internal practices that enable compliance with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy, thereby aligning with good sustainability practices and reporting of information, which have been subject to continuous improvement. The EU Taxonomy is a crucial transparency tool that enables the reporting of the alignment of activities (current and future) with sustainable development from an environmental perspective.
Having disclosed, with reference to 31 December 2021, for the first time, information on the so-called EU Taxonomy regarding the eligibility of its economic activities in relation to climate objectives, and with reference to 31 of December of 2022 the information about the alignment of the referred economic activities for the first climatic objectives, Altri releases, with reference to 31 December 2024, information on the eligibility and alignment of its economic activities with regard to the climate objectives, materialized by the size of their weight in revenue (turnover), operating expenses (OpEx) and capital expenditures (CapEx). It should be noted that after the company's analysis of the economic activities included in the remaining four objectives, all eligible activities identified are included in the first two climate objectives, and the alignment of all identified activities was evaluated.
Thus, with reference to 31 December 2024, according to the content of the European Commission Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2178, Altri releases the percentage of revenue (turnover), Capital expenditure (CapEx) and Operational expenses (OpEx) related to eligible activities and aligned according to the taxonomy, assessing, for the purposes of alignment with climate objectives, the compliance with the technical criteria for evaluating these activities, determining the percentage of the three indicators that are associated with sustainable economic activities from an environmental point of view.

Since Altri's core business is the production and sale of paper pulp, an activity not eligible under the Climate Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139), Altri's turnover for eligible and aligned activities is essentially associated with the activities of: (i) production of electricity from bioenergy, and (ii) heat/cold cogeneration and electricity from bioenergy, these activities being included in the taxonomy of Annexes I and II of the delegated Climate Act (Commission Regulation (EC) 2021/2139), contributing these activities to the objective of climate change mitigation and adaptation. It should be noted that for the purpose of evaluating the alignment of activities identified as eligible, compliance with the technical criteria defined for the mitigation objective was evaluated. In the financial year ended December 31, 2024, no eligible activities were identified for the four new environmental objectives: i) sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources; ii) transition to a circular economy; iii) pollution prevention and control; and iv) protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. The increase in turnover for the two eligible activities is due to the impact verified in the consolidated revenue of the Altri Group resulting from: (i) the increase of the

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
electricity production and sales; and (ii) the change of the energy consumption regime of the Celbi plant for total sale of the renewable energy produced..

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Altri's objectives (as referred to in the sub-chapter Climate Change Mitigation Targets were validated and approved by the SBTi, aligning with the 1.5°C trajectory stipulated by the Paris Agreement. This trajectory necessitates a substantial reduction in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the increase in the global average temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Altri's objectives are ambitious and consistent with the targets set by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ensuring that they effectively contribute to climate change mitigation and the transition to a sustainable economy.
The implementation of the transition plan is supported by strategic investments aligned with the EU taxonomy, namely in eligible activities such as forest management, electricity production from photovoltaic technology, electricity production from bioenergy, cogeneration of heat, cold and electricity from bioenergy, installation of charging stations for electric vehicles and research, development and innovation activities close to the market. Altri releases annually the leading performance indicators of capital expenditure (CapEx) aligned with the CapEx taxonomy and future plans, according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178.
About CapEx additions associated with eligible and aligned activities, they were essentially made to bring Altri closer to the objectives set out in the framework of the Commitment 2030, which is also aligned with the transition plan for climate change.
The main investments made in 2024, aligned with the objectives defined under the transition plan, are disclosed along with the respective actions presented in this Sustainability Statement.
Altri may face significant financial and operational risks if it fails to reduce its blocked GHG emissions, the transition risks associated with moving to a low-carbon economy being:
In order to manage its GHG-intensive assets and products, Altri has defined a strategic approach that encompasses:

► Partnerships and collaborations: Collaboration with other companies, governments, and non-governmental organizations provides the insights and resources needed to implement more sustainable practices. Additionally, potential strategic partnerships accelerate the adoption of clean technologies and the dissemination of best practices.
The transition plan for climate change mitigation has been approved by the governing, management, and supervisory bodies. It is integrated and aligned with the Group's global business strategy and financial planning through a holistic approach that considers both sustainability and financial objectives. The Group adjusts its strategy and business model through various initiatives to ensure compatibility with the transition to a sustainable economy and limit global warming to 1.5 ºC, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. These initiatives encompass the approach to sustainability as a factor of competitiveness, operational excellence, technological innovation, and, not least, the recovery of the forest.
Additionally, Altri intends to adjust exposure to oil and gas-related activities by limiting investments in these sectors and transitioning to more sustainable energy sources. Finally, Altri will consider risks and opportunities within the EU legal and regulatory framework, focusing on issues related to the environment and sustainability.

The result of the dual materiality analysis process carried out by the Altri Group resulted in the following impacts, risks, and material opportunities in the context of climate change:
| E1: Description of IROs Materials | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Climate change adaptation | |
| For Altri, investing in the development and production of climate-resilient forest materials presents an opportunity to mitigate vulnerability to increasingly frequent extreme weather events. These types of phenomena pose a physical risk to the Group as they may disrupt its operations. Thus, Altri considers its proactive stance of protecting infrastructures, people, and forests to be a material positive impact to mitigate the potential adverse effects associated with extreme climate events enhanced by climate change. Additionally, there is a risk of transition associated with new regulations and the need to implement new technologies. |
Adaptation of its operations and production process to respect the regulatory context of GHG emissions. |
| Climate change mitigation | |
| As a result of its activities, Altri identifies a negative material impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions considered in Scope 1 and 2. Altri's value chain is also responsible for GHG emissions that contribute to Altri Group's Scope 3 emissions. Altri identifies the investment and implementation of new technologies as a material opportunity to reduce the amount of GHG emitted. In its own operations, Altri recognizes that the growth of live biomass enables the absorption of CO2 emissions, thereby having a positive material impact on climate change mitigation. |
Transition to renewable energy to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions and engage with stakeholders to transition to a low-carbon economy. |
| Energy | |
| Altri produces renewable electricity for self-consumption, considered as a positive material impact but also an opportunity to reduce costs associated with the purchase of electricity. |
Improvement of the energy efficiency of the production process and investment in SCPUs. |
Altri evaluates its resilience to climate change through the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
The process for identifying and assessing climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities is described in section 1.5.1 of ESRS 2 Material Topics.


(E1-2)
Recognizing the crucial importance of a strategic approach in managing impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate change, Altri adopted the Sustainability Policy. This policy serves as a guide for Altri's actions in mitigating and adapting to the negative effects of climate change, risk management, and opportunities that may impact the Group's operations. In this context, Altri undertakes to:
This policy is aligned with the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EMAS, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, and FSC and PEFC Chain of Responsibility, has been validated and approved by the Board of Directors, and applies to all Altri employees and stakeholders. It is available for consultation through the Altri Group website. The Board of Directors is responsible for supervising the implementation of the policies.
(E1-3)
The inability to manage climate-related risks and opportunities can compromise a company's ability to maintain long-term value creation, attract investments, retain top talent, safeguard its reputation, and even hold its license to operate. The evolution of the main identified climate risks will be monitored in the future, and appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures will be defined and applied.

Altri presents a strategic approach, transversal to the entire organization, in managing its impacts, risks, and opportunities. Seeking to mitigate the impacts of climate change, the Altri Group aims to implement actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As part of its path toward a low-carbon future, Altri is focused on the progressive reduction of emissions from its operations and the decarbonization of its portfolio. This will lead to the transformation of activities and portfolio, increasing the renewable production and sale of renewable products. These may include transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar, improving energy efficiency, and implementing cleaner industrial processes.
Nature-based solutions are approaches that use natural ecosystems to address environmental challenges and include forest restoration, conservation of natural areas, and implementation of sustainable forest practices.
In managing and planning its decarbonization strategy, Altri monitors its emissions by implementing several initiatives and projects, including the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable fuels (replacement of natural gas with other biofuels), excluding CO2 from operations with fossil or emethane fuels. The three main decarbonization priorities for Altri are the transition to renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, and fleet electrification.
The Group's ability to implement the actions depends significantly on the availability and allocation of resources. This includes both financial resources and other types of resources, such as human and technological resources. The successful implementation of actions is directly linked to the proper allocation of these resources, ensuring that all needs are met. The main actions undertaken during 2024 are detailed below.
The Re-Green project aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of scope 1 through short-term actions, spanning 6 to 12 months of the implementation period, and/or the promotion of unexplored initiatives from previous work cycles within the Altri Group. The Table below presents the various actions currently implemented, in progress, and planned for the three industrial units of the Altri Group.

The Elevator Pitch project consisted in the implementation of proposals for reducing GHG emissions of scope 1 in industrial units, Caima, Biotek and Celbi with the aim of achieving a reduction of 9.9% (from 70 kgCO2/ADMT to 63.1 kgCO2/ADMT) through short-term initiatives (6-12 months for implementation) and/or promotion of initiatives not explored in the previous (Hoshin 2022-2024).
With this project, Altri aims to reduce and replace the use of fossil fuels in industrial units through optimization of the production process and replacement with sustainable fuels. These projects also led to absolute record lows in emissions in August and May, as shown in the following diagram:

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Altri has been working to improve the energy efficiency of its production processes through a continuous reduction in energy consumption.
Considering the correlation between increasing energy efficiency and reducing GHG emissions, the Group has several projects aimed at achieving energy efficiency in Altri's processes, related to the consumption of electricity in all plants, and monitors them to analyze causes and subsequent measures to be implemented.


MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The use of renewable energy throughout all Altri's activities is one of its objectives, as well as the production of as much renewable energy as possible. These actions contribute to climate change mitigation while also enabling financial optimization.
During 2024, the Group sought to find solutions to mitigate the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic context and reinforced the implementation of measures related to the use of alternative energy sources, such as natural gas, and the installation of photovoltaic power generation capacity.
Altri undertakes to explore strategies and practices aimed at optimizing the production, use, and management of surplus electricity. Maximizing this surplus enables increased energy efficiency, leading to a positive impact on both operating costs and the environment.
The residual forest biomass plant is designed, projected and built based on the most modern concepts and technologies, to ensure maximum reliability and economy, maximum availability, high degree of automation, reduced environmental impact, compliance with the most demanding safety requirements of people and facilities and strict compliance with standards and best hygienic practices.
The new forest waste biomass boiler at the Caima industrial unit came into full operation in the first quarter of 2024. Altri has an ambitious yet pragmatic energy transition strategy underway.
In addition, this investment enabled Caima to become the first Iberian company in the sector to eliminate fossil fuels from the production process and to ensure full energy autonomy from exclusively renewable sources. The total investment was approximately 50 million euros, with around 4 million euros allocated in 2024, including the new pressure turbine, which had an investment of around 2.8 million euros.
In 2024, Altri invested approximately 173,000 euros in three SCPUs installations at the warehouses of the industrial units and another facility at Altri Florestal headquarters, corresponding to an installed capacity of around 6 MW. These SCPUs correspond to installations for generating electricity from solar energy through photovoltaic panels, with the purpose of reducing the Scope 2 emissions associated with the Group's activities.
Altri also foresees the development of new products and services, such as batteries.
In parallel with Altri's strategy to replace the fleet with vehicles with lower GHG emissions, the Group installed 22 electric vehicle charging stations in a total investment of around 102 thousand euros in 2024.
Through the use of new technologies to control odorous gases from industrial plants, it is possible to recover these gases for energy production, namely non-condensable gas (NCG) and Stripper Off Gas (SOG). This type of system is currently in place at the industrial units of Celbi and Biotek.

In line with our commitment to decarbonizing our operations, we are proud to share that the new gigaliners, the result of a partnership between Altri and Luís Simões, will be powered by biofuel.
HVO — Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil — is a fully renewable solution, with no negative environmental impact and with a significant role in the energy transition.
This pioneering initiative not only promotes the transition to more sustainable energy but also allows an estimated reduction of about 90% of emissions on the strategic route between Celbi and Porto da Figueira da Foz, where approximately 12,500 trucks circulate per year. This is a pilot project that has the potential to be replicated on other routes.
Altri has adopted a growing commitment to sustainability and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The Group annually promotes several actions of reforestation and restoration of ecosystems, as well as promotes the capture of carbon in the soil through the forest management models implemented.
By signing the Antwerp Declaration for the European Industrial Deal, Altri joined more than 700 signatories from various sectors of the European economy in support of the industrial future of Europe. This Declaration outlines 10 concrete actions to focus on European companies, such as a globally competitive energy in Europe and promoting demand for products with zero net emissions, low carbon emissions, and circular economies, with a view to their growth.
The ISO 50001 Certification – Energy Management Systems allows for ensuring that all industrial units (Biotek, Caima, and Celbi) operate efficiently and sustainably, promoting an optimal management of energy consumption, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and continuous improvement of energy use practices.
The carbon intensity of Altri's current portfolio is already one of the lowest in the sector. This dynamic involves a continuous process of evaluation and adaptation, ensuring that the strategies implemented are aligned with the Group's policies, interests, and needs.
To ensure efficient progress toward the defined objectives, constant monitoring and evaluation of the implemented actions are essential. Only then can we identify the areas of success and the critical points that need improvement.
Based on the monitoring and evaluation carried out, it is possible to adapt and improve the actions implemented in order to maximize their impact. The ability to react to change and incorporate new approaches is crucial for maintaining relevant, effective, and aligned actions with established objectives.
Regarding the future actions planned, they play a crucial role in achieving the long-term objectives of the Altri Group. In its definition, it is essential to ensure alignment with Altri's lessons learned, strategic

planning, long-term objectives, and vision, while ensuring the ability to respond to potential emerging challenges.
Before any implementation, it is important to design the impact of the planned actions through the analysis of possible results and consideration of different scenarios.

All information regarding the significant monetary amounts of CapEx and OpEx required to execute the actions taken or planned is disclosed in the Taxonomy section.
With a pragmatic and realistic approach to the sector and a significant emission reduction plan already underway, Altri is aiming to reduce its operating emissions by 2030. The GHG emission reduction targets of Scope 1, 2, and 3 are based on 2020, while the target for renewable energy consumption is related to the base year 2018:
To ensure that the reference target values for which progress toward achieving the objectives is measured are representative in terms of the activities covered and the influences of external factors, the Group adopts several methodologies and assumptions.
These goals are based on the development of projects already identified and reflect the Group's current commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, as demonstrated by recent investment decisions in key projects such as Caima Go Green.
The target value definition took into account the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the use of biofuels and other innovative initiatives, the replacement of fossil fuels with biofuels, and increased thermal efficiency.
In addition, significant investments in operational energy efficiency, electrification, and a solid commitment to renewable electricity production will ensure the right direction to continue reducing emissions and decarbonizing the portfolio over the decade.

Altri has set two targets for reducing carbon intensity and the energy it consumes in its industrial plants, reflecting its commitment to a future with lower carbon emissions. In the two graphs below, it is possible to see Altri's progress toward the GHG emission reduction target in relative terms.


Specific GHG emissions from scopes 1 and 2
MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

The targets defined in the 2030 Commitment are quite ambitious. Achieving the targets set presupposes heavy investment in innovative technologies and therefore longer delivery times. Thus,
reductions will not be continuous, but will occur in stages following these projects.
The increase in emissions in 2024 was due to a problem with Celbi's turbo generator, which was out of service for a few months, leading to an increase in the purchase of electricity and, consequently, emissions in scope 2, market-based and location-based. At Biotek's industrial unit, several tests were carried out in 2024 to produce other grades of cellulose fibres, which also contributed to this increase.




The increase in scope 3 emissions is related to an increase in production and a consequent increase in production factors, namely the consumption of raw materials and fuels. This figure was also aggravated by the increase in product shipments to Asia.
The investment in the construction of the new residual biomass boiler enabled the abandonment of fossil fuels in its production process, to guarantee full energy autonomy from exclusively renewable sources. This investment allowed a reduction of 4,307 tons of GHG emissions.
Altri has set the goal of ensuring that by 2030, 100% of the primary energy consumed in its industrial units is renewable. This target is aligned with SDG 7 – Clean and Affordable Energy, and applies to the company's own operations.



The installation of several photovoltaic power production units in the Group's units, intended for selfconsumption, allows the reduction of Scope 2 emissions and brings Altri closer to using 100% of primary energy in industrial units from renewable sources.

In accounting for energy consumption, whenever possible, direct measurements were made, carried out periodically and systematically to ensure the accuracy of the collected data. In cases where direct measurements were not feasible, calculations were performed based on specific available data.
For the disclosure of some related data, assumptions and estimates were made. The underlying estimates and assumptions are monitored over time and reviewed at each reporting period to adjust the metrics and ensure their continuous relevance and accuracy.
The conversion factors were selected for their robustness, international acceptance, and ability to accurately reflect the characteristics of Altri's activities, ensuring a reliable evaluation of the company's energy consumption.
In the specific case of Celbi, monthly analyses are carried out to determine the calorific value of natural gas.
Additionally, the National Inventory Report (NIR) of the Portuguese Environment Agency is used.
Altri's activities are part of Section A – Agriculture, forest and fishing, through management and forest exploration activities, section C – Manufacturing industries with the activity of cellulosic fibers manufacturing and section D – Supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning, of NACE codes and therefore all are considered activities in sectors of high environmental impact. Thus, the energy intensity in sectors with high climate impact was calculated by considering the total energy consumed and the net revenue of the Altri Group.

For the calculation of Altri's carbon footprint, we included the industrial units Celbi, Biotek and Caima, Altri Florestal, Altri Abastecimento de Madeira e Altri, SGPS. In 2024, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting was conducted in accordance with the GHG Protocol, an initiative of the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. The GHG Protocol standards are currently the most widely used internationally for the accounting of greenhouse gas emissions by organizations from all sectors of activity, being adopted by more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies.
As The GHG Protocol is missing in specific guidelines on quantification of biological carbon sequestration, the accounting of carbon removals and losses, including the calculation of the respective reservoir in forest areas managed by ALTRI Florestal, used a methodology adapted from the National Emission Inventory (National Inventory Report - NIR), published annually by the Portuguese Environment Agency, according to the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006) - Volume 4 - Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use.
The 2024 carbon footprint reporting is aligned with the GHG Protocol across the three reporting scopes. Other emissions, such as forest carbon stock, emissions avoided by the sale of electricity, and biogenic emissions, are reported independently.
The following areas were considered: Scope 1: Refers to direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operations by sources owned or controlled by Altri. It includes emissions in the field of fuels (own fleet), fuels (installations), fertilizer and corrective applications, fuels (machinery), EU-ETS emissions (combustion and process), fuels out of EU-ETS, biofuels (CH4 and N2O), f-gas leaks and internal waste treatment.
Scope 2: Relating to GHG emissions associated with the production of electricity acquired by Altri. These emissions were calculated according to market-based and location-based methodologies.
Scope 3: Refers to other indirect GHG emissions associated with the Altri value chain. The categories calculated in this scope are:
Exclusions: Other categories of scope 3 were considered not relevant or not applicable to Altri's activity.
(E1-8)
Altri considers that the internalization of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions costs through an internal carbon price is an effective tool for assessing climate-related sustainability and encouraging investment in low-carbon solutions. Altri incorporates a global carbon price in the evaluation of new projects and when there are changes in existing projects. This allows the Group to ensure the resilience of its investments.
In addition, when assessing the development of new projects, or the expansion or upgrading of existing assets, Altri also assesses the impact of CO2 emissions on its decarbonization metrics. This approach ensures that priority is given to low-carbon projects, helping the Group to achieve its decarbonization ambitions.
The carbon prices applied were based on the version of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report and cover the entire scope of activities and geographies of the Altri Group, as presented in the following Table.

| Types of internal carbon prices | Applied prices (€/tCO2eq) |
|---|---|
| Shadow price of CapEx | 75 |
| Shadow Price of Investment in Research and Development (R&D) |

(E2-1)
The Altri Group defines through the Sustainability Policy the public commitment to establishing and implementing conditions that lead to the satisfaction with the needs and expectations of shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, community and other stakeholders, with respect for the environment and in conditions of economic sustainability, in a perspective of continuous improvement and pollution prevention.
This policy is aligned with the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EMAS, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, and FSC and PEFC Chain of Responsibility, has been validated and approved by the Board of Directors, and applies to all Altri employees and stakeholders. It is available for consultation through the Altri Group website. More detailed information on this policy can be found in the Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation section.
In parallel with the Sustainability Policy, Altri has implemented the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System across all its industrial units, enhancing the environmental performance of these units by identifying pollution sources and managing material impacts on air and water pollution.
In addition, the Group's Forest Management System, presented in greater detail in the section Policies related to biodiversity and ecosystems, defines that the planning of forestry activities is based on the

short, medium and long-term supply needs of the Group's industrial units, however, this planning is always based on national, regional and local policy instruments in order to ensure the protection of the water resources of forests from potential sources of pollution.
(E2-2)
Pollution and contamination of air, water, and soil are possible impacts of the Group's production process. To reduce the contribution of its operations to pollution, Altri has been implementing various actions and projects continuously. These initiatives aim to improve the efficiency of their industrial processes, reduce pollutant emissions, and ensure the preservation of natural resources and the environment. The main actions carried out during the year 2024 are presented below:
The project for collecting CNG (Non-Condensable Gases) and SOGS (Stripper Off Gases), previously presented in the Climate Change Actions section, enabled Celbi and Biotek industrial units to produce energy through the recovery of these gases.
In addition to the energy use, this project contributed to improving air quality by reducing atmospheric emissions of these gases and reducing odors characteristic of industries in the pulp sector.
To minimize the impact of its own operations on water pollution, Altri has made an investment to improve Celbi's IWWTP, ensuring a reply that aligns with the current production capacity of the industrial unit. Thus, Altri can ensure the correct treatment of all industrial effluents before being discharged into the environment, contributing to the reduction of water pollution. Additional information about this project can be found in the actions of the water and marine resources section.
The recovery and valorization project for acetic and furfural acid, currently running at Caima until 2026, allows the industrial unit to reuse by-products of its production process by transforming evaporation condensate into acetic and furfural acid. The transformation of a sub-current into a marketable products results in a reduction of the organic load of condensate intended for treating effluents, with consequent reduction of water pollution and associated operating costs. Information on the contribution of this project to the circular economy can be found in the section on actions related to the circular economy.
(E2-3)
Altri has adopted a growing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, both in its own operations and in the upstream and downstream value chain.
Regarding the pollution issue and in line with the Commitment 2030 of the Altri Group, the Group undertakes to reduce the organic load of industrial effluents by 60% by 2030 (compared to the base year 2018), thereby contributing to the reduction of water pollution caused by its activities. This target aligns with SDG 6 - Drinking water and sanitation for all.

During 2024, the Group made positive progress on this target, reaching a value of 7 Kg The2/ADMT, which corresponds to a 57% reduction from the base year.


Organic load in industrial effluents
In addition to the defined goal of reducing organic load in industrial effluents, the targets presented in sections ESRS E1 Climate Change and ESRS E5 Use of Resources and Circular Economy also contribute to the reduction of pollution by reducing CO2 emissions and increasing the recovery rate of waste produced, respectively.
(E2-4)

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Due to the activity of the Altri Group, the use of water in the production process has a potentially negative material impact on the availability of water resources in ecosystems. Additionally, industrial effluents resulting from the production process, even after treatment, can still negatively impact groundwater and river reserves. Direct impacts were also considered, such as the availability of water for navigation and for the forest, which are fundamental to Altri.
To reduce its water use, Altri can invest in new technologies that enable more efficient management of this resource while minimizing losses. Associated with this natural resource is a risk of increasing compliance costs due to increasingly stringent legal requirements regarding the consumption and quality of effluents.
Detailed assessment of assets and activities to identify impacts, risks, and opportunities related to water and marine resources, monitoring water captured, discharged, consumed, recycled, and reused. The ISO 14001 environmental management system follows the various due diligence processes related to the theme of water.
(E3-1)
Climate change, water pollution, and degradation of natural resources are factors that contribute to the scarcity of water reserves. Given its industrial nature, the Group uses the water resource in the production of cellulosic fibers and can through its activity impact this natural resource.
For this reason, and in order to continue its business, Altri considers that it has an increased responsibility to manage this resource responsibly. This management is not only limited to higher efficiency and recycling practices to reduce its use, but also involves controlling its discharge, carried out to ensure the environmental quality of the originating effluent and to minimize any impact on the environment.
Through the Sustainability Policy, the Altri Group is committed to promoting energy efficiency, reducing the use of water and other natural resources, giving priority to the use of renewable energy sources, as well as reducing and recovering waste. The Board of Directors is responsible for supervising the implementation of the policies.

(E3-2)
It is urgent to mitigate the impact of these challenges through resilient systems as the supply of goods and services from water systems is interconnected, influencing both the forest and industry, and is fundamental to the industry.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Altri implements practical actions and strategies for water management, measuring and monitoring the progress made in achieving the defined objectives for reducing water use and increasing the quality of discharged effluents. The key to the prosperity of the Group, ecosystems, and water-based activities lies in contributing to collective solutions that aim to strengthen the capacity of water resources to resist and adapt to global changes.
Altri began using the Water Resilience Assessment Framework (WRAF), a United Nations tool to support resilient decision-making and strategy-setting, to prevent water-related shocks and tensions from escalating into crises. Thus, the Group's long-term resilience increases, given the dynamic changes in water systems and extreme events caused by climate change.
For a water-related risk assessment, it is necessary to define the boundaries of the system on which Altri relies and analyze the watersheds of its direct operations, namely the basins where the industrial units of the Altri Group are located. In addition to the availability of water in quantity and quality, other direct impacts will have to be taken into account, such as the availability of water for the navigation of certain waterways, which are used in the transport of the product to the customer, for example, and the availability of water for the forest.
To make a complete risk analysis, several time horizons should be analyzed:
Assessing the water systems on which the Group depends allows the selection of an appropriate, persistent resilience strategy, adapted to system changes and transformative to overcome sudden disruptions. This analysis takes into account the socioeconomic components (e.g., access to water), biophysics (e.g., soil cover, discharges), and institutional components (corruption, regulation, compliance), in various time horizons.
The monitoring, efficiency improvement, and reduction of the organic load in the effluents, implemented by Altri, focus on the three industrial units: Biotek, Caima, and Celbi. Monitoring is carried out continuously in each of the industrial units:


► Celbi captures water on the Mondego River and in underground water holes for use in the process, along which there are several loop closures to reduce the maximum amount of fresh water collected.
Contribution to the good ecological and chemical quality of surface and groundwater: internal analytical control programme to monitor and ensure water quality. These programs include prevention mechanisms, such as level indicators with alarms in tanks, temperature sensors in tank discharge pipes, and overflow collection systems. Additionally, the secondary treatment facility features a properly impermeable emergency basin to operate in case of accidents or abnormal discharges.
Minimization of material impacts and risks, and application of mitigation measures: Control measures to minimize environmental risks, such as inspection plans and emergency plans in the event of a rupture of the "non-hazardous industrial waste" cell coating screen. Additionally, due diligence processes are conducted to assess environmental risks in environmental management systems.
Consideration of climate risks in decision-making: Altri has been improving the identification and quantification of its climate-related risks and opportunities, including physical risks (acute and chronic) and transition risks, aligning with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), preparing the disclosure requirements required by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities. The strategy includes the development of Research and Development projects to reduce the reliance on water in the production processes.
To increase the resilience of the Altri Group, in relation to the management and availability of water resources, several practical projects were developed in 2024 with the aim of reducing water waste, mitigating hydraulic and flow loads, and increasing the quality of discharged effluents.
To minimize wastewater effluents, a survey was conducted to assess the need for water recovery. The increased sealing of the circuits reduces the use of water resources and the reliance on water from other places in the production process. Structural intervention needs were identified.
To decrease hydraulic loads and flows, the flow of all water circuits was checked, and the verification of possible downstream users of certain circuits led to water reuse, resulting in reduced flow.
Finally, to improve the quality and color of the discharged effluent, the Altri Group modernized Celbi's Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plant (ETARi) to enable its reuse and closed and improved the diffuse liquid emission circuits by incorporating cutting-edge technologies from Biotek at ETARi.
To respond to the environmental control restrictions and capacity adequacy of CELBI's IWWTP, depending on the current sustainable production capacity of the plant, the remodeling of the secondary treatment facility was a project that began in late 2021 and was concluded in 2023. This environmental project represented a global investment of € 16.5 million, and in 2024, there was still an investment of approximately € 1.1 million.

In the context of water management, sustainability policy and Commitment 2030 aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal 6 - Drinking water and sanitation for all, the Altri Group defined, for the base year 2018, the goal of reducing the specific use of water in industrial units by 50% by 2030.



Real Value Target
In the case of water, we made a commitment to reduce its specific use by 2030 and, so far, we haven't achieved a significant reduction. This is due, in addition to what is described in the previous paragraph, to changes in strategy in the development of new products in some of Altri's industrial units for market reasons.
However, we remain strongly committed to this goal and are strengthening our initiatives to optimize water use, through new technologies, more efficient processes and strategic partnerships. In the coming years, we will implement concrete measures to ensure that we achieve the targets set.

Altri Florestal is the company responsible for managing the Altri Group's biological assets and supplying wood to its industrial units, with more than 100,000 hectares of forest and natural areas under its management.
In line with the Group's industrial target, the main occupation of these areas are eucalyptus trees for timber production, installed and maintained using modern and sustainable forestry techniques. Even so, more than 20% of the total area under management is made up of very diverse occupations, with special emphasis on cork oak forests, pine forests and native formations with high conservation potential.


The Group's forest management is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two internationally recognized standards that are a continuous stimulus for improving management practices and implementing strategies to increase biodiversity and other natural services.
Currently, 11,650 hectares of the management area are classified as having a conservation function, including the presence of high conservation values, priority habitats, areas of high biodiversity or critical areas for the protection of endangered species. AItri Florestal has implemented a monitoring and management program for these areas, based on an assessment of their conservation status and focused on maintaining, improving or restoring natural values. Improving and refining this program continues to be one of the bases for implementing strategies to increase biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The Group's biodiversity and ecosystem services strategy is aligned with the Act4Nature initiative and with global objectives for biodiversity, such as the Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, the Sustainable Development Goals, Science Based Targets and the new European taxonomy for sustainable finance.
In order to implement this strategy, the Group has created its own program, called Altri Diversity, aimed at the main stakeholders and structured with objectives, actions and targets defined for the period 2018-2030. Altri Diversity thus emerges as an instrument that aims to reflect and review the company's attitude towards protecting and enhancing the natural spaces present in the areas under its management or in the surrounding areas, favoring biological, service and product diversification.

This strategy is the result of the experience acquired, the relationships established with other entities and the reflections resulting from the FSC and PEFC certification processes. The medium-term horizon established frames the Group's attitude and initiatives in the protection and enhancement of the natural spaces present in forest areas, whether taken alone or in partnership and collaboration with other entities.
Taking environmental aspects into account is inherent to forestry activity and is reflected in the principles of sustainable forest management to which the Group subscribes and practices. However, the Altri Diversity strategy goes beyond mere respect for reference practices or the identification of values, placing greater proactivity in the actions recommended, in the protection and conservation of natural values and in the diversification of natural services at a higher level of strategic and operational concern.
Altri believes that the forestry management it practices, geared towards the sustainable production of eucalyptus wood for industrial processing, is fully compatible with the valorization and production of other goods and services, both direct and indirect, generated in the assets under its management. In addition, active and diversified forest management, such as Altri's, is an asset in preventing forest fires, due to the regular control of fuels, the human presence in the forest and the diversification and enhancement of other forest uses and products.

Forest fires are a global reality, especially in Portugal, potentially causing major environmental, economic and social damage, especially in the current context of climate deregulation and rural abandonment. Aware of this reality, Altri manages this issue on two essential fronts: prevention and combat. While Altri essentially relies on its active forestry management for prevention, Altri holds a stake in Afocelca, a company with an operational structure specialized in preventing and fighting fires.

This joint venture creates solid links between the public and the private, between the forest and civil protection, and between tradition and the cutting edge.

In 2024, Afocelca carried out 28 actions and trained 481 members in the various training topics related to joining the Afocelca Protection Device, continuing to work together for the future of the forest.
In addition to the work carried out in fighting fires, Altri also restores areas affected by fires, recovering eucalyptus and conservation areas after the events, breaking their abandonment and promoting their production, making forest owners' holdings more profitable.
With the Altri Bonds 50 initiative, Altri Florestal has created a system for collecting residual forest and agricultural biomass, through collaboration protocols with the municipalities of Penacova, Pombal and Cantanhede. Through the recovery of residual forest biomass, this innovative program aims to reduce the risk of fires, reflecting the mutual help and connection between the industry, the forestry sector and the communities in these areas.
Altri has signed the Collaboration Agreement for the Intermunicipal Forestry and Agricultural Waste Container Network in Mortágua. The aim of this project is to valorize biomass from a circular economy perspective and implement alternative methods to burning waste.
(E4-2)
Altri has a Forestry Policy whose main objectives include safeguarding the ecological values present in its forest heritage and the continuous search for dialogue and good relations with stakeholders, as foundations that contribute to the development of the rural world in which it operates.
The use of certified wood guarantees compliance with strict criteria that assess environmental preservation, respect for labor laws, human rights and ethical behavior in its supply chain. This is one of the good sustainable procurement practices advocated by Altri. In 2024, Altri Abastecimento de Madeiras supplied the Group's three industrial units with 74.7% FSC and PEFC certified wood. This is the result of continuous work to encourage good forestry management among raw material suppliers and to increase the value of wood, achieved by differentiating prices for certified wood.

Altri has made a commitment to combat deforestation with the subsequent implementation of the European Regulation to Combat Deforestation (EUDR) in its chain of responsibility. Altri Florestal is also a member of the two associations that represent the FSC and PEFC at national level, actively participating in the construction of forest management regulations and ensuring the Group's voluntary commitment to exercise due diligence to avoid acquiring raw materials (wood) from controversial sources
In addition, joining Act4nature Portugal publicly committed Altri to protecting, promoting and restoring biodiversity, conserving and/or restoring ecosystems of high conservation value and implementing 10 projects of local relevance that directly contribute to the conservation and restoration of natural values, establishing appropriate partnerships whenever possible at a local level and focusing on contact with the school community. Also included are actions to conserve, restore and promote environmental values, integrated with regular forestry production activities in areas of size, importance and relevance in terms of the landscape, contributing to regional and national policies for the conservation of biological diversity and with a demonstrative impact.
(E4-3)
Altri's strategy for biodiversity, through the implementation of the Altri Diversity program, considers the doubling of conservation areas under its management, the own production of native plants for use in restoration projects, the creation and management of biodiversity stations and promotes the conservation and restoration of ecosystems. Altri has also supported the implementation of good forest management practices, promoting the multiple and sustainable use of rural areas. With the leadership of the transForm Agenda, it guarantees participation in relevant projects for the sector
Altri has set itself the goal of achieving 16,000 ha of conservation areas under management, either with the presence of high conservation values, habitats, high biodiversity or critical areas for the protection of endangered species, by the year 2030. It is currently 4350 ha away from this target.




In order to achieve this goal, by the end of 2024, 600,000 native plants had already been produced and sold by Viveiros do Furadouro, mainly in the species of strawberry tree, cork oak, holm oak, oakroble, oak-cerquinho, oak-negral, oak-de-monchique, ash, birch, and stone pine. these spaces, such as trails, suspension bridges, signage, information panels, photo shelters, among others.



The Biodiversity Stations (EBIO) and biospots are examples of this program. This is a concept promoted by Tagis - Centro de Conservação das Borboletas de Portugal, which consists of areas of high conservation value where visitors are invited to visit, interpret and monitor. These sites have various infrastructures and equipment so that the general public can visit these spaces, such as trails, suspension bridges, signs, information panels, among others.

The Group aims to extend this network to 15 biodiversity stations and biospots by 2030. In 2024, 9 stations and biospots were reached, with 6 stations short of the target.



As part of the Altri Diversity program, the Group works on the conservation and restoration of ecosystems of high conservation value in its areas or in the surrounding areas, usually through partnerships or protocols with local and regional nature conservation organizations. Up until 2024, the projects developed that directly contributed to the conservation and restoration of natural values were:

For the conservation and restoration of high conservation value ecosystems, the Altri Diversity program has been establishing partnerships since 2016 for the development of bird protection projects, such as:


The Altri Group intends to integrate other valuable activities with Forest Management. To date, the Group has developed projects such as:


transForm is a forestry sector project for the digital transition, energy resilience and carbon neutrality. Led by Altri Florestal and under the technical-scientific coordination of CoLAB ForestWISE®, transForm integrates a consortium of 56 partners in an unprecedented effort of sectoral cooperation. This agenda was created as part of Component 5 (C5) of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), which is aimed at Business Capitalization and Innovation, in the context of incentive systems.

The implementation of the transForm Agenda runs until December 2025, mobilizing public and private funds for a total planned investment of around 129.3 M€, including productive investment, R&D, innovation, qualification, internationalization, dissemination and training.
This Agenda aims to trigger a structural transformation of the Portuguese forestry sector, intervening in a concerted manner throughout the value chain. With six lines of action, it takes the form of thirty collaborative projects, which will contribute 11 new biomaterials and products, eco-efficient processes and specialized services.

All properties under the management of Grupo Altri were assessed and the source of information is the forest management systems for the year 2024
In this section of the Sustainability Statement, the main policies actions, goals, and metrics of the Altri Group are presented to respond to the impacts, risks, and material opportunities identified in relation to the use of resources and Circular Economy:
| E5: Circular Economy | Strategy | |
|---|---|---|
| Resource inflows, including resource use | ||
| The Altri Group identifies as a material opportunity in the context of resource entry, the reuse of by products through efficient processes that reduce the costs of purchasing raw materials. Restricting access to certified wood at economically viable prices may pose a risk of costs to the Group due to punctual or prolonged interruptions in production. Additionally, there is a risk of limiting access to dangerous subsidiary materials due to legal restrictions. |
Implementation of an innovative wood cooking technology. |
|
| Resource outflows related to products and services | ||
| Altri considers the reuse of by-products from the production process as a positive material impact that allows for enhancing circularity. On the other hand, the degradation of the quality of the wood used in the production process can mean the risk of degradation of the quality of the final product. This has a direct effect on the erosion of customer confidence in Altri, posing a risk. |
Be@t Project. Digester project of sawdust. |
|
| Waste | ||
| Altri has a proactive role in reducing, preventing, and recycling waste resulting from the production process, as there is a risk of more restrictive regulations on waste management. |
Increase process waste recovered or reused. Recovery and valorization of acetic and furfural acids. Recovery of sludge and biomass. |

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The Altri Group, as a producer of cellulosic fibers — renewable materials with increasing application in strategic sectors such as paper and textiles (namely through fibers like lyocell and viscose) — is strategically positioned to lead the transition to a circular economy, contributing to the progressive replacement of raw materials of fossil origin.
Circularity is integrated into Altri's innovation strategy, focusing on the design of products and processes that are more sustainable and efficient in resource use. In this context, the Group invests in the research and development of new alternative raw materials, with special emphasis on the recovery of its own industrial waste, as well as the reuse of by-products generated along the value chain. These initiatives aim not only to create products with high circularity potential but also to optimize the environmental and economic performance of production processes.
In line with the principle of cascading resource uses, the Group has developed solutions for the internal recovery of residual flows. We highlight the production of renewable energy from residual biomass and the utilization of organic sludge from processes as a source of organic matter in the plantations under the Group's management. These practices contribute to closing material cycles, reducing the dependence on virgin resources, and promoting the regeneration of natural systems.
At the same time, the Altri Group has as its priority the reduction of waste generation throughout the life cycle of its products, promoting material efficiency, the extension of the useful life of resources, and the minimization of losses. The Group is also assessing the potential of new circular business models, namely through collaboration with partners in the textile and paper industry, with the aim of incorporating recycled materials and designing for reuse and recyclability.
Regarding the circular economy model, it recommends transforming waste into by-products or materials that can be reused, recovered, or recycled, with the aim of reducing the extraction and consumption of virgin raw materials. In line with this principle, the Altri Group has been consolidating its strategic approach around circularity, through innovation and the establishment of partnerships that allow the recovery of waste generated throughout its production process.
The creation of value from residual flows is a priority, and the Group is developing new solutions for the use of by-products, reinforcing its commitment to resource efficiency and reducing waste. In this context, Altri aims to implement specific metrics in the coming years to assess the circular performance of the organization, specifically through the calculation of the circularity index, which will enable the quantification of the proportion of residues effectively converted into secondary raw materials.
The three industrial units of the Altri Group are implementing several initiatives that materialize the principles of circular economy, promoting value retention in production systems, minimizing environmental impact, and fostering collaboration with other sectors.

(E5-2)
To meet the targets set within the scope of circularity, the Altri Group implemented a set of measures with a direct impact on reducing and recovering inorganic waste resulting from the production of cellulosic pulp. These actions are part of a strategy to optimize the use of resources and promote a circular economy, thereby minimizing the use of primary raw materials and increasing the rate of material reuse within the productive cycle.
Among the ongoing initiatives, we highlight:

The be@t project, of which Caima is a part, has as its global objective the generation and consolidation of a National Cluster of the Textile and Clothing Industry that is genuinely innovative, sustainable, and circular.
Also taking place in Caima until 2026, the project for the recovery and valorization of acetic and furfural acid also represents a significant contribution to the circular economy, specifically in the recycling of waste by the recovery of chemicals from the operating system. The implementation of the extraction and purification process of acetic and furfural acid provides multiple strategic and operational benefits, aligned with the principles of sustainability and circular economy:

REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
This initiative reinforces Altri's commitment to sustainable innovation and continuous improvement of its industrial processes, contributing to a more resilient and environmentally responsible business model. At the end of December 2023, the contract was signed with the technology supplier, and at the end of January 2024, the kick-off meeting of the details and construction project was held. At this time, detail engineering is underway and approximately 8.6 million euros were invested in 2024.
In Celbi, the implementation of an innovative wood cooking technology - Fine Grain Material Digester improved the efficiency of raw material use, increasing production capacity by 2,5%, and reducing the specific consumption of wood and waste.
Within the framework of the Sawdust Digester Project, the tailings from the screening that result from the pulp production process and the sawmill that results from the wood processing are sent to the digester, allowing for the recovery of cellulose fibers for pulp production. Previously, these fibers were recovered in the biomass boilers.
In the industrial units of Altri, the sludge resulting from the effluent treatment of the plant is energyrecovered in the biomass boilers installed in the industrial complex.
Secondary sludge resulting from the effluent treatment of Celbi is energy-recovered at the recovery boiler.
In Biotek, secondary sludge resulting from the removal of the organic raw material in the plant's sector effluents is mainly directed to composting. In Biotek, there was a reduction in the production regime during the year, which directly impacted the amount of lime sludge produced that was reduced in comparison with the homologous period.
In Caima, secondary sludge resulting from effluent treatment is energy-recovered at the biomass plant and is also sent to composting. In Caima, the process was optimized through the reincorporation of primary sludge into pulp production.

However, even though it represents a little significant part, Altri takes all the necessary measures to
ensure the proper routing and treatment of waste, thus eliminating any risks of potential negative impacts of its activity. In Altri Florestal, all waste sent to waste management companies is transported with e-GAR documents, the only waste generated in forest management being fertilizer packaging.
In addition to its ongoing efforts to reduce waste generation, the Altri Group ensures the proper management of all waste resulting from its industrial activity, in accordance with the best practices and applicable legal requirements. It should be noted that less than 1% of the waste generated is hazardous waste, which translates into virtually non-existent environmental and public health risk. Still, despite the residual proportion of hazardous waste, the Group implements all the necessary measures to ensure its correct routing and treatment, thus eliminating potential adverse impacts.
Waste recovery is one of the pillars of Altri's circularity strategy. In 2024, 80% of the waste generated was recovered, contributing to a reduction in pressure on natural resources and an increase in material efficiency. This recovery occurs either through the reintegration of waste into the production process itself, or through its use by other industries, as substitutes for virgin raw materials, or through referral to recycling operations.
This set of practices allows Altri to promote the circularity of material flows, reinforcing the creation of closed production cycles and consolidating its contribution to a circular economy.

(E5-3)
One of the most significant goals for Altri is the recovery or reuse of 100% of waste from processes by 2030 in its own operations. In 2022, the base year, Altri had already reached 58% of the waste, and in 2024 it reached 80%. This target, applicable to all geographies, is fundamental to the commitment to the theme of a circular economy in the Group.



(E5-4)
Within the framework of its sustainability strategy and circular economy, Altri Group has sought to optimize the use of natural resources and promote material efficiency in all its production units. The input of materials into the production process is a fundamental step to ensure the sustainability of production cycles and minimize the environmental impact. Thus, the Altri Group has been prioritizing the use of renewable materials and the integration of secondary materials, with the aim of reducing the dependence on primary resources and contributing to the circularity of material flows.
The following Table shows the total weight of the products, technical and biological materials used in the various industrial units of the Group, including Altri Florestal, S.A., Celbi, S.A., Caima, S.A., and Biotek, S.A. These data allow us to monitor the evolution of resource utilization and the percentage of embedded secondary materials, reflecting Altri's commitment to reduce environmental impact and promote more sustainable practices in the production process.

All the quantities of resources and products used during 2024 were calculated.
To conclude, of the total input of resources, 6% (211,633 tons) represents components, products, and secondary materials used.

(E5-5)
The management of waste and by-products generated in the production units is a crucial element of the circular economy strategy of the Altri Group. The Group aims to reduce waste generation and promote the recovery of by-products, reincarnating them into the production process or allocating them to other industries, minimizing the need for new resources and contributing to a closed production cycle.
Next, data on resource output are presented, with emphasis on the amount of waste generated and the percentage of waste recovered, including non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Altri continues to work to improve waste management efficiency by implementing innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact and optimize material recovery processes. These data reflect the Group's commitment to implementing an effective circular economy and minimizing environmental impact.

Pulp is a B2B product, so recyclability can only be evaluated inside doors. In the event of product damage, pulp can be reintegrated into the production process, being recycled. In addition, wire packaging is sent to a specialist waste management operator, ensuring it is properly recycled. For these reasons, Altri considers that 100% of the material produced through its production process is recyclable.

During 2024, the total amount of non-recycled waste produced by Altri was 4,838 tons, equivalent to 5% of the total waste produced. The amount of radioactive waste produced was 0.08 tons at the Caima and Biotek industrial units.
The radioactive waste value was calculated according to the amount of sealed sources transferred to the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).

The appreciation of people represents one of the strategic pillars that guides Altri's actions. In this chapter, we describe not only the Altri Group's approach to developing its employees but also its approach to all people and entities related to its operations, from its suppliers to the communities near the locations where Altri operates. Thus, this chapter is divided into three sub-chapters, which highlight some of the most relevant relations of the Group value chain, namely: Own workforce, value chain workers, and communities affected.

In relation to its own workforce, the Altri Group identified the following impacts, risks, and opportunities as material:
| S1: Own workforce | Estratégia | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Working conditions | ||||
| Employees of the Group are subject to professional and psychosocial risks arising from the performance of their duties and the business model and activities performed by Altri. The continuity of operations and growth of the Group can be challenged by the inability to attract, hire, and retain employees with the skills and technical experience necessary to pursue the defined strategy. |
Promotion of training and development of employees' skills. Goal of zero accidents with more than 3 days lost. Awareness-raising initiatives for health and safety promotion. |
|||
| Equal treatment and opportunities for all | ||||
| Altri has identified a material positive impact on its own workforce, the promotion of the representation of women in management positions, while contributing to awareness of equal opportunities among all employees. The Altri Group emphasizes proactive action in raising awareness of workplace violence and harassment, reinforcing its commitment to a safe environment for all. |
Commitment to the United Nations Global Compact. Altri Plan For Gender Equality. The goal is to double the number of women in leadership roles by 2030. |
The Group's practices around diversity, equity, and inclusion not only improve the working environment but also have the potential to strengthen the Group's image.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
forced labor, child labor or discrimination about employment and occupation in the own workforce. Altri has strengthened its position in this subject by joining the UN Global Compact, which includes ensuring responsible performance throughout the entire value chain.
Considering the current context of economic and social uncertainty and in line with Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Altri maintains an institutional Dialogue, open and transparent, with all representative organizations of employees, having obtained, over the last few years, labor agreements in all industrial companies, thus ensuring greater stability in employment and an increase in the income of its employees.
In terms of health and safety at work, the Group has a Health and Safety Management System (WHS) in its industrial units (Celbi, Biotek, and Caima) that covers all employees (internal and external), who perform on-site functions. In addition to these units, also at Altri Florestal and Altri SL, where the PEFC and FSC standards are implemented, 100% of internal employees are covered by the system.
In 2021, Altri implemented its Gender Equality Plan, which aims to promote effective equal opportunities for men and women. This plan, in addition to materializing Altri's ongoing work in the field of gender diversity and equality, is aligned with the United Nations Global Compact accelerator program: Gender Equality Target. Having been updated annually since its implementation, this plan presents a set of measures for the elimination of discrimination based on sex, also encouraging a healthy balance between personal, family, and professional life.
The Group's Policy against Harassment, and the Ethics Code repudiate any form of harassment, namely moral, and differentiated treatment according to skin color, gender, ethnic or social origin, sexual orientation, trade union policy or association, religious or other conviction. More detail regarding this policy can be found in the Corporate Conduct and Corporate Culture Policies section.
All of the above policies and codes have been validated and approved by the Board of Directors of Altri, which is also responsible for approving any changes, and are available for consultation of all employees and partners on the Altri Group website.
(S1-2)
Maintaining an open and transparent institutional dialogue with all workers and organizations representing workers allows Altri to consider the perspectives of its own workforce during decisionmaking processes.
The Altri Group maintains an open, clear, and enlightening speech with its employees, self-employed workers, and other people who perform "work activities" in the Altri Group. The provision of institutional information, including human rights policy, gender equality plan, and other official documents, is available for consultation on the intranet.
In addition, there are different listening practices and actions, follow-up meetings (for example, CASST, CQT, unions meetings, meetings with workers' representatives, PSE meetings, and Onboarding meetings), and ultimately, reporting channels, which allow us to understand the interests and views of workers and their representatives. It should be noted that the proximity between the People Directorate and the entire organization provides access to the needs and perspectives of workers across a wide range of themes.

The interests and views of the workers are expressed mostly by the workers' representatives in the different industrial units and are directed to the following themes:
The dialogue with workers takes place annually, when the respective company agreements are revised and where substantial changes are made that have a direct and consequential impact on workers. The Directorate of People and Talent is responsible for ensuring that this dialogue occurs.
It is an open, face-to-face dialogue, for which representatives are invited to be present, as well as elements of the Altri organizational structure that can serve as facilitators and clarify doubts that may exist.
As a result of this process of dialogue with workers, over the last few years, Altri has consistently reached labor agreements with all industrial companies, ensuring greater stability in employment and an increase in the employees' income. Currently, Altri maintains six company agreements that will remain in effect until the end of 2025, when negotiations are expected to resume.
(S1-3)
Altri's involvement with its own workforce is carried out through structured interactions and through complaint channels that allow us to identify negative material impacts that the Group has caused or contributed to people in its own workforce.
The Internal Reporting Channel is accessible to all individuals, natural or legal, who may be adversely affected by the Altri Group or who wish to claim, report, clarify or expose any situation, namely related to human and labor rights, and is accessible through Altri's website. This channel is accessible to all employees through the website of Altri Goup.
The Supervisory Board will establish a clear articulation with the Ethics Committee regarding all matters that require the Ethics Committee's intervention and action. If any employee prefers to communicate anonymously, written comments may be sent, in as much detail as possible, through the whistleblower channel, if the situation is adequate to be reported there. In any case, the protection of whistleblowers against acts of retaliation is guaranteed, as is presented in greater detail in section ESRS G1 - Business Conduct.

We reaffirm our commitment to invest in the continuous development of Altri employees, because we know that as people grow, Altri also grows.
In the contemporary business scenario, the importance of employees transcends the mere execution of tasks, as employees are the essential pillars that sustain the success and prosperity of a company. The deep understanding of this crucial role leads to a holistic approach by Altri, which considers not only technical skills but also aspects such as training, safety, health, and well-being, attracting and retaining talent, as well as stimulating diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Thus, in this section of the Sustainability Statement, the actions and programs undertaken by Altri with its own workforce are presented, reinforcing the commitment to investing in the continuous development of Altri Group employees, in health, safety, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion.
For Altri, one of its most valuable assets is people. For this reason, one of its main investments is the development of its employees, which benefits both the employees and the company, as it will enjoy a more qualified workforce, with the ability to innovate and develop improved solutions that promote sustainability. This valuation considers not only the development of skills, but also the improvement of performance management and the attraction and retention of qualified and motivated people.

To support and make people management more agile and transparent, the Altri Group has invested in a new people management platform - MyAltri. This is an evolutionary platform which, in addition to integrating the employee portal, will support all the processes inherent to people management, namely: Recruitment and Onboarding, Salary Processing, Expense Management, Time Management, Performance and Management by Objectives, Succession and Career Plans.
The modules related to employee data management and salary processing were made available to employees in 2024. The salary processing of September 2024 was already done on the new platform. Altri is aware that the availability and processing of this data on a new platform is critical and has a

Altri aims to have the best and most prepared professionals in the industry. To achieve this goal, the Group assumes the responsibility to develop the skills of its employees, with commitment and investment in training over the last years. In 2024, Altri provided more than 34 hours of training in technical and specific areas related to the high-complexity manufacturing process, and in behavioral and management areas.
The Group seeks to provide a diverse range of training to respond to the wide variety of profiles of employees and areas of activity. For this, Altri focuses on five main themes:
The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) developed by Altri was an initiative aimed at developing leadership skills in its 76 participants from different Group units (Altri Florestal, Biotek S.A., Caima, S.A., and Celbi S.A.). This program included a diverse range of modules that, over the past year, provided a comprehensive and transformative experience, in which participants had the opportunity to access enriching content, develop new skills, and strengthen collaboration bonds. From theoretical sessions to practical applications, through workshops and group activities, the ALP course has provided an experience lived and felt by employees who hold management and team/project coordination roles, which have an impact on the Altri structure.
The program was carried out in partnership with the Portuguese Catholic University and included modules aimed at immersion in both more behavioral themes associated with leadership, communication, teamwork, negotiation, and a more technical and management component, such as operations management, investment project evaluation, and sustainable finance, among others. Additionally, the program included talks and lectures from Altri leaders, addressing topics such as Sustainability, Responsible Leadership, and living the values and purpose of the company.

REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD

Altri is confident that the knowledge acquired and the relationships established during the course will continue to have an impact over the next few years, contributing to the personal and professional growth of each, thus making the Group stronger and better prepared for the future.

When internal programs are not enough, Altri encourages and supports its employees to continue their studies, whenever this is identified as a potential for mapped talent, through support with travel expenses and tuition fees.
The training is also promoted by the Group through partnerships established with different educational institutions, which translates into curricular internships and academic dissertations, and can also evolve into professional internships. Many of these students will become Altri employees, and the company will promote and strengthen their talent attraction capacity, as these programs are the Group's largest source of recruitment.
Kaizen Institute supported Altri in the paradigm shift, with the implementation of methodologies and tools that directed the modus operandi of the various hierarchical levels to improve its processes, increase productivity, and achieve sustainable long-term results through a logic of continuous improvement. For this implementation, the involvement of the entire structure of operations in order to adjust the method to the specificities of the Group was central and simultaneously ensured its daily and continuous practice.
The training program included content related either to Kaizen tools and techniques (continuous improvement cycle, problem solving, 5S, standardization), or with leadership skills and teamwork (meetings, Kaizen boards, communication, among others).
This training was directed to all workers (internal and external) in the operational areas of the various industrial units, joined by other workers from support areas who were also familiar with the Kaizen methodology. Globally, 425 internal workers and 47 external workers attended the training.

The feedback highlighted the relevance of the theme to each individual's daily routine and the optimization of individual and team performance results.
Altri is a partner of the More and Better Jobs Pact for Young People and is committed to hiring and retaining young workers, ensuring quality employment, training, developing and giving voice to young people. The Pact is an initiative with the Altri Group and 100 Portuguese companies.
The health and safety of Altri's workers is a priority in the management of their activities. Altri aims to develop a culture within all Group companies where the health, safety, and welfare of workers are not only seen as mandatory but as something innate in the way they are being and acting. Having that objective in consideration, Altri continues the Altri People Lab, which consists of all programs to promote and value employees.

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group can impact the health and safety of its employees, considering not only the possibility of accidents at work, professional diseases, or disabilities but also impacts that may arise in terms of their mental health. These impacts, when they occur, have financial implications for the company, due to the absenteeism of its employees and the existence of accidents and occupational diseases.
For an effective promotion of a culture of health and well-being within the entire Altri Group, it is essential to have a global and integrated vision. To this end, the Group has a Clinical Directorate, Occupational Health and Wellness. This Directorate is responsible for the definition, promotion and implementation of health and welfare policies and the coordination of the occupational medicine services of the Group's companies, responding to the specific requirements of each company. In all industrial plants, a medical station is also available, with equipment that allows the prevention of professional diseases and promotes well-being, including a set of specialized services.
For employee's awareness, Altri distributes information leaflets, and has Safety Documentation available (RIP, procedures, standards, forest practices with Risk Assessment), dissemination of WSH videos on internal TV circuits, display of safety signs and disclosure of incident and near incident communications (flash incidents and flash near accident) and performs the weekly Safety minutes at Kaizen meetings.
To empower Altri employees to be an integral part of the active management of their health, including the professional risks to which they may be exposed, the Group has developed a Health Literacy program. Each month, topics to be addressed are selected, and, weekly, information is disclosed through the computer tool Altri's internal social network on a topic related to that theme. At the end of the month, a member of the occupational health team visits the workplaces for awareness in loco, and delivers a flyer with the summary of the month. The chosen themes focus mainly on the socioprofessional reality of Altri employees, integrating specific occupational health topics of the Group.

This initiative has produced positive impacts and opportunities for Altri, as it allows to reduce health costs, increase productivity, improve the work environment.

Within the scope of this program in May 2024, the Altri Group held the 4ª edition of the initiative "Month of May, Month of Heart", with a view to promoting the reduction of sedentary lifestyle and physical activity through healthy competition among employees. This activity has also resumed its solidarity objective.
The workers of Altri Group companies were challenged to achieve the physical activity objectives defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), which include at least 30 minutes of activity, and were allowed to contribute to "Heart Coins". "Heart Coins" were collected, which at the end of the month were converted into monetary value that was donated by Altri to several institutions:


MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The selection of the entities was made by the TOP 10 participants from the various sports modalities involved. This initiative also promoted the realization of a trail / walk at Altri Florestal headquarters, in Quinta do Furadouro, for all the collaborators and their families.
The Health Literacy Program also organized the 1st Altri Padel Tournament to empower people with tools to make better choices in their own health, including the practice of physical exercise. In addition to the health benefits derivved from the regular physical exercise, the 1st Altri Padel Tournament also stood out as a moment of union and interaction between colleagues from the various companies of the Group.
Altri joined the Portuguese Alliance for the Promotion of Mental Health in the Workplace (ASM). The growing need to address health issues and, in this particular case, mental health, so that we can eradicate the stigma still associated with this area and adopt a working environment that promotes mental health, was what led the Altri Group to join ASM. For Altri, workers' health is at the top of the priorities, so mental health is not an exception. Thus, through this initiative, the Group intends to disseminate knowledge and promote mental health literacy among workers.
Altri marked the World Day of Praise 2024, with an initiative in which the Group's employees were able to praise intra and inter-company colleagues, through a hand-handed or anonymous ticket, through the Altri Post Boxes arranged in the offices of the entire organization. The Group created the Altri Post Boxes, also to provide an alternative to digital communication and to promote closer proximity to the operational public.
Inspired by design thinking, a methodology that puts people at the center of problem-solving, Altri has rethought its approach to Safety at Work, with answers aligned with the real needs of employees.
It was in this context that the Safety Lab was created, a creative and collaborative laboratory dedicated to safety and aligned with the concept of "Health and well-being in companies".

Under the motto "Safety can be one click away", the Altri Group organized the 1st Safety Convention. The aim was to stop and reflect on the topic, understand the path we have taken and plan for the future based on a safety culture in which we are all part of the solution.
The event allowed for the recognition and motivation of good practices that encourage positive behavior and create models to be followed, both internally, among peers, and with external service providers, strengthening collaboration and encouraging the exchange of experiences and good practices between different areas and external companies.
The program drew on LTM Consultora's legacy - the Safe Behaviors Program - to lay the foundations for this safety culture, and also on the example of E-redes, sharing the path they have taken in this area. Psychosocial risks and mental health at work were also a focus of this Convention, ending the day with a testimonial.

The Safety Lab project proves how safety at work can go beyond accident prevention, becoming a collective commitment that promotes physical, mental and social well-being, while strengthening the organizational culture.
A safety culture in which we are all part of the solution.
In 2021, Altri implemented its Gender Equality Plan, which aims to promote effective equal opportunities for men and women. This plan, in addition to materializing Altri's ongoing work in the field of gender diversity and equality, is aligned with the United Nations Global Compact accelerator program: Gender Equality Target. Having been updated annually since its implementation, this plan presents a set of measures for the elimination of discrimination based on sex, also encouraging a healthy balance between personal, family and professional life.
The Equality Plan 2024 reinforces the existence of conditions that allow a better balance between professional life and the extra-professional dimension of each employee, making people feel more committed to Altri, and never neglecting the family component. This plan, which includes objectives, measures, performance indicators and targets to be achieved, focuses on the following areas:

(S1-5)
Altri has been working persistently to raise awareness among its employees about mitigating the causes of workplace accidents and achieving its goal of zero accidents with more than 3 days lost. Only with the involvement of all the team members it is possible to strengthen the safety culture in the Altri Group, which is a decisive factor in maintaining a safe and accident-free workplace.



Various projects have been developed to raise awareness. Although the results are not yet reflected in this indicator, the Group will remain committed in implementing actions to achieve the defined objectives.
To ensure the full and effective participation of women and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making, Altri focuses its efforts on gender diversity and equality.
The inclusion of this theme in the Group's strategy positively impacts society, since it makes it possible to represent women in management positions, and to raise awareness for diversity and the need for equity and inclusion, to improve its ability to attract and retain talent. The approach to this type of subject also allows to mitigate any breaches of the applicable legislation and judicial or other proceedings that may arise out of discrimination.
Considering the typical predominance of men in industrial activities, this theme takes particular importance to Altri, that defined and implemented several measures for greater gender parity, namely in its recruitment, career management and cultural and organizational development processes.
This commitment of the Group is also consolidated in Commitment 2030, with the undertaking to "Duplicate the number of women in leadership roles from 19 in 2018 to 38 in 2030".
With 43 women in leadership roles in 2024, Altri continues to promote Diversity and Gender Equality in the Group. The clearance of this value is related to Altri's description of performance and internal functions.

Managing people well and enhancing their performance is today the major competitive differentiator in organizations. Being a factor of competitive advantage, companies that best adapt to trends in people management will be better prepared to face future challenges. The commitment to developing the

skills of its people is a responsibility assumed by the Altri group. The effort and investment that the company has made in training in recent years is an example of this. With more than 35,000 hours of training in 2024, in technical and specific areas related to the highly complex manufacturing process or in behavioural and management areas, it is the ambitious vision of the Altri group in this matter: to have the best and most well-prepared professionals in the sector in which it operates. The Training Plan is prepared based on the needs identified by each area of the company, and it is executed and reviewed throughout the year, thus having a flexible character and being able to adjust to the demands of the business. It includes different forms of training organization (in-person or remote), and it can be internal or external. Training in the Altri group starts from the first moment the employee joins the group's structure and continues throughout the time they remain in the company. When our programs are not sufficient, the company encourages and supports the return to school or the continuation of studies of its employees, covering travel expenses and tuition fees whenever this is identified as enhancing the mapped talent.

This gap in the detailed and systematic evaluation of suppliers can have substantial implications for Altri's operations and strategy, as situations that occur along the value chain can result in reputational damage associated with loss of credibility and trust. Still within the value chain, there is the opportunity to boost the growth of national companies supporting their services by reducing the dependence on foreign suppliers. |
Participation in the Business & Human Rights Accelerator of the United Nations Global Compact. External Providers Quality Requirements Portal (PQSE). Preference for national suppliers. |
The results of the evaluation showed that work in the Paper for Recycling (PFR) supply chain is often labor-intensive and is associated with a lower barrier to entry and skill level.
Jobs in the supply chain can be a last resort for employment, which can help to put workers in a vulnerable position. Based on the risk scenario identified through the in-depth assessment conducted in 2022, Altri has developed a more structured way of working with the supply chain. This includes

placing a greater focus on specific vendor segments to assess risks and identify appropriate mitigation activities.

All persons have the right to be treated with dignity and without any discrimination. Geopolitical tensions, climate change, and increasing inequalities further accentuate the importance of human rights. When managing production and conservation forests, Altri has an impact on people. The Group directly impacts approximately 800 employees, hundreds of suppliers, and dozens of customers worldwide.
Altri applies respect and support for human rights as enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its 10 principles, both in its operations and throughout the value chain.
The Ten Principles originate from the United Nations Key Declarations and Conventions and cover areas of human rights, work, environment, and anti-corruption. The Ten Principles provide a common, ethical, and practical framework for corporate responsibility that is universally understood and applicable wherever companies operate.


Altri participates in the UN Global Compact, committing at the CEO level to incorporate these ten universal principles into business strategy, day-to-day operations, and organizational culture, and reports annually on its progress.
This commitment is one of Altri's most significant contributions to sustainable development.
By adopting the UN Global Compact's ten principles in its strategy, policies, and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, Altri is raising its core responsibilities beyond compliance with people and the planet, but is also setting the path to long-term success expecting the following benefits:
The Ten Principles aim to reduce both operating costs and capital costs. Implementing environmentalfocused principles (7-9) Altri can reduce operating costs by promoting the most efficient use of materials and resources such as energy, waste, and water. These responsibilities, supervised by the Board of Directors, are managed by the Executive Board.
The Board of Directors oversees the Risk Management team, responsible for the risks in the areas of human rights, work, environment, and anti-corruption.
The Ten Principles strengthen trust with stakeholders by solidifying the license to operate between employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and the community. It is essential to establish relationships of trust with stakeholders, and this trust can be fostered by aligning with these principles and publicly expressing Altri's position on human rights. It will also have an impact on attracting and retaining talent within the Group.
Altri can use the Ten Principles for growth in many ways, including more sustainable products and services, achieving circular business models, leveraging technology to connect digital, and expanding the customer base.

In 2023, the Group published the Human Rights Policy, detailed in the own workforce Policies section, which assumes the Group's commitment and responsibility in this matter.
Altri, through the Human Rights Policy, has publicly committed itself to respecting and avoiding adverse impacts on all internationally recognized human rights in all its activities, in particular, as regards freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining and the right not to subjection to forced labor, child labor or discrimination about employment and occupation, reinforcing its position through the adhesion to the Global Compact. In addition, Altri implemented in 2019 a Code of Conduct for Forest Service Providers.
Altri Florestal's Code of Conduct for Forest Service Suppliers aims to define the minimum requirements that Altri Florestal demands of all its forest service providers. Altri Florestal pays special attention to the selection and relationship with all its partners and suppliers, including those involved in Forest Services. This document outlines the guidelines and requirements that represent the commitment and actions to be adopted by all Forest Service Providers in various matters. The Code contains guidelines on health and safety and respect for the rights, freedoms, and guarantees of citizens.
The Human Rights Policy and the Supplier Code of Conduct have been validated and approved by the Group's Board of Directors, which is also responsible for approving any change, and are available for consultation of all interested parties on the Altri Group's website.
(S2-2)
The Altri Group acknowledges that, although it does not have a specific mechanism for direct communication with value chain workers and their representatives on the material impacts, actual or potential, of their activities, it adopts an important measure by requiring all its suppliers to register on the External Providers Quality Requirements Portal ("PQSE" or "Portal").

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The registration in this Portal aims to evaluate suppliers based on several strict criteria, ensuring that they comply with the requirements established in terms of working conditions, health and safety, as well as ensuring full respect for the human rights of their workers.
In other words, through the PQSE, the Altri Group is able to effectively monitor compliance with established standards, promoting a working environment that values the dignity and well-being of workers in the value chain. Additionally, the registration requirement enhances transparency and integration of supplier operations, fostering relationships built on trust and quality. Further information regarding this Portal can be found in the Actions section of this thematic standard.
In 2024, a project was conducted that led to the introduction of a new monitoring and audit approach to avoid or mitigate risks for workers. This includes, among other things, allocating more time to interact with workers on the ground. In 2024, all audits of forest service providers were conducted using this new approach, and the findings were shared with industry peers.
(S2-3)
All workers in the Altri Group value chain can raise concerns or complaints regarding negative impacts caused by the Group or impacts that the Group has contributed to. For this purpose, Altri provides a reporting channel accessible to all individuals or legal entities within its value chain.
Through this channel, complaints, reports, or any situations related to human and labor rights can be explained. The Reporting Channel is accessible to all workers in the value chain at through the Altri Group website.
The Supervisory Board will establish a clear articulation with the Ethics Committee regarding all matters that require the Ethic's Committee intervention and action. If any value chain worker prefers to communicate anonymously, he can send his written comments, in as much detail as possible, through this same reporting channel. In any case, the protection of whistleblowers against acts of retaliation is guaranteed, as is presented in more detail in the ESRS G1 - Business Conduct.
(S2-4)
In 2023, the Altri Group participated in the United Nations Global Compact Business & Human Rights Accelerator program whose objective is to minimize potential negative impacts and identify opportunities for innovation and maximization of positive impacts on people, derived from their own operations and value chain, Altri has thus taken another step forward in the defence of human rights. As part of this program, the Group was able to identify and acknowledge new ways to diagnose, prevent, and mitigate the potential impacts of its activities and value chain on Human Rights.
To maintain a close relationship and facilitate verification of Altri's requirements, suppliers are requested to register with the External Providers Quality Requirements Portal ("PQSE" or "Portal") and provide the required documentation, which is validated and regularly checked by Altri teams.
The evaluation of suppliers carried out through the PQSE is carried out simply, using various evaluation criteria, which focus on technical execution and also other fundamental points such as environmental and health and safety behavior at work. Subsequently, suppliers are notified of the detailed evaluation result. Where necessary corrective measures are implemented, but there is a preference for preventive measures that are presented throughout the contractual relationship.

Through the information available in the External Services Qualification Portal, where about 620 suppliers are already registered, it is possible to characterize Altri suppliers, namely in terms of certification. In the last 2 years, there has been a significant increase in suppliers with certification in Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Quality Management (ISO 9001), and Health and Safety Management at Work (ISO 45001).
| Certifications | Certified suppliers (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental Management System - ISO 14001 | 29 | |
| Occupational Health and Safety Management System - ISO 45001 |
23 | |
| Energy Management System - ISO 50001 | 4 | |
| Quality Management System - ISO 9001 | 49 |
Given the maturity of the portal and the growing number of certified companies, betting on continuous improvement and the definition of sustainability goals, the Purchasing and Procurement Directorate is working on extending the certifications to be demanded from suppliers, namely SA 8000 – Social Responsibility, ISO 20400 – Sustainable Procurement, ISO 27000 – Ethics Certification, Eco-Label – Ecological Product Certification, EMAS – European Union Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, among others. To encourage the maintenance of existing certifications and the obtention of new ones, it is expected that the evaluation will be positively affected by their existence.
It is also planned to create a questionnaire that validates the existence or not of formal policies, such as Sustainability Policy, Environment, Anti-Corruption, nd Water Management. This type of information allows the Altri Group to understand the alignment of suppliers with their principles and commitment.
To strengthen the commitment and alignment of the Altri Group's objectives with those of its suppliers, it is also expected that the suppliers will become formally aware, through the PQSE, of the Group's policies and codes of conduct, already available on the Group's website.
In 2024, FSC conducted two audits of Altri's chain of custody to verify the traceability of materials throughout the production chain, ensuring compliance with labor law requirements for workers in the value chain.
An action plan is under development to ensure the successful integration of Sustainable Procurement Policies. On the agenda for the plan, we have included the definition of incentives for sustainable purchases, the creation of metrics and tools to qualify suppliers' performance, and the strategies to collaborate with suppliers to increase compliance in terms of sustainability, and their position for the future.

Local communities are consulted during the planning and decision-making phases of new investments. Consultations with local communities, including Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), are a key element in due diligence on human rights in Altri's forestry operations, particularly with regard to land leases. The extension covers hundreds of land estate, including 11,482 hectares of conservation areas.
The Altri Group identified as material the impacts, risks, and opportunities presented in the following Table in relation to affected communities:
| S3: Affected Communities | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Communities' civil and political rights | |
| The Altri Group is committed to promoting the development of local communities where its operations are inserted through various initiatives, such as increasing employability, combating desertification of non urban areas, and improving the well-being and living conditions of the surrounding communities. At the same time, Altri invests in community awareness and environmental education, promoting the importance of sustainability and environmental preservation. The promotion of local talent represents a valuable opportunity for Altri, allowing the retention of this talent in the Group's own operations, contributing to the decentralization of the country's economic activities. However, the proximity of operations to communities results in negative material impacts. Industrial production, accompanied by odours and noise from industrial units, causes discomfort and disturbs the quality of life of residents in the surrounding areas. |
Policy of participation in the Communities. Investment in community development. Promotion of activities related to sustainability |
(S3-1)
Altri takes a structured and participatory approach in its relationship with communities. As part of this commitment, Altri implements its Community Participation Policy, whose main objective is to promote active intervention in the communities where it operates, mitigating negative impacts and enhancing opportunities for local development. Additionally, Altri has a Human Rights Policy that frames internationally recognized standards specifically relevant to communities and indigenous peoples, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Community Participation Policy aims to contribute to the sustainable development of local communities through cultural, educational and social initiatives, fostering the creation of positive impacts, particularly as regards the increase of skills and the employability of local human capital, their access to economic opportunities and livelihoods (e.g. the possibility of using services provided by Group companies for the provision of health care) and, consequently, boosting local economies.
The Policy covers the operations of Altri, with application in all geographies in where the Group is present. It is directed to all employees and is available to them through the Altri Group website and on the intranet / Sharepoint. The responsibility for implementing and overseeing this policy lies with the

Board of Directors of Altri, ensuring that the initiatives are consistent with the company's strategic objectives.
(S3-2)
Involvement with the neighbourhood of factories, forest sites, and the broader community is a key pillar for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. These activities not only strengthen the ties between the Group and the local community, but also promote an environment of cooperation and mutual trust.
Altri, therefore, maintains a close relationship with the community to identify and mitigate any negative impacts over time, as well as to evaluate the positive impacts resulting from its actions. Altri uses feedback received from the community to identify areas of improvement and implement changes that best meet local needs, as well as adjust group's internal policies, such as implementing new corporate social responsibility practices.
Since 2019, Altri has been participating in the Community Monitoring Commission (CAC) in Figueira da Foz, which brings together several relevant local stakeholders. Chaired by Professor Poças Martins, former Professor of Hydraulics and Environment at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, CAC aims to ensure that about 50 public and private organizations are the first to be informed about events and changes that impact the lives of local communities. Additionally, it serves as a means of listening to the concerns of local populations.
The 6th CAC meeting took place at Celbi, Figueira da Fox, in the third quarter of 2024, organized by the Group in partnership with The Navigator Company. The CAC meetings are held every six months and include debates on industrial investments, environmental performance, liquid effluent control, and forest sector challenges.
Until now, only Celbi has participated in this CAC, and the Group's objective is to ensure that these commissions exist in the other Group's industrial units.
In 2024, there were no complaints from the population related to noise production, visual pollution or dust.
(S3-3)
Due to its industrial field, the Group may impact the quality of life of the local communities where it develops its activities, through the production of odours and noise from its industrial units, resulting in the degradation of its relationship with the community. As this is a fundamental theme for the Group, Altri seeks to implement measures to prevent and mitigate these impacts through the use of new technologies, for example, to control odours.
Thus, in order to minimize some of the possible impacts that Altri's activity may have at the local level, actions were implemented to respond to these challenges. Since 2014, an arboreal curtain has been placed around Biotek that acts as a visual barrier, and dust and noise protection. Also since 2021, the odorous currents in the recovery boilers of Celbi are being burned, and in 2023 the same process was implemented at Biotek. In the following section, more actions are detailed that Altri undertakes, with the aim of mitigating negative impacts, and enhancing positive impacts. The whistleblowing channel can be accessed here.


(S3-4)
Altri, within the framework of its social responsibility policy, develops and supports a set of initiatives and activities, which reflect the commitment made by the Group to actively contribute to the creation of lasting and relevant relationships with the community of its industrial units and its forestry activity, in particular, through donations and logistical support. The Altri Group considers the involvement and cooperation of all elements within the surrounding community to be essential, with a view to pursuing the common good, having intervened over the last few years, assisting and cooperating with different institutions.
Altri invests in projects involving communities, mainly in support of local authorities' initiatives, projects supporting education and social inclusion, and recreational and sports. During this period, more than 80 entities, whose scope of action is in the areas of community intervention considered strategic by Altri, were impacted.
Social responsibility and closeness to the community are part of the culture of all Altri Group companies, a value that we have demonstrated, among others, with the following initiatives in 2024:
As in 2023, the Altri Group, represented by Biotek and Caima companies, supported the EPIS 2024 Social Scholarships, whose main focus is to combat inequality of opportunities in access and frequency of higher education, rewarding young people from socially disadvantaged contexts with high academic merit. The two companies of the Altri Group join the more than 40 partners, contributing to 227 grants that translate into a total social investment of 544.7 thousand euros.
Altri Group, Corticeira Amorim, Sonae Arauco, and The Navigator Company have formed a publicprivate partnership to fund 22 grants guaranteeing 100% of the value of tuition fees in courses in the field of forestry engineering. The courses will be taught at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro and at the University of Porto (UTAD and UP), at the School of Agriculture (ISA), or at the School of Agrarian Coimbra (ESAC). In 2024, this grant was repeated for 22 students. This partnership aims to encourage and promote higher education courses in the field of forest sciences, whose enrolment numbers have been declining every year.
Altri's presence at job fairs in 2024 was marked by a series of important events that reinforced the Group's connection with the academic community in different regions of the country. Altri has been represented at several job fairs, creating opportunities for students and young professionals looking for their first experience in the job market.
Altri was present in different events associated with employer branding, both in higher education, such as the Instituto Superior Técnico de Lisboa, ISCAC, University of Aveiro, ISA, University of Porto, University of Coimbra, University of Beira Interior, and in professional and secondary education, namely Escola Técnica, Artística e Professional de Pombal and School Group Figueira Mar.
These participations allowed Altri not only to present their job opportunities and internships, but also to strengthen their brand as a reference employer. Direct interaction with students and educational institutions is of utmost importance to the company, as it enables a deeper understanding of the needs

of the current labor market and attracts talent aligned with Altri's values and objectives. Through these initiatives, Altri continues to build a more renewable and sustainable future, aligned with its values and mission
Altri marked the Sustainability Day at the Biodiversity Station of Quinta do Furadouro, inviting the children of employees to participate.
With the aim of making the objectives of Altri's Commitment 2030 known, young people between the ages of 12 and 18 participated in various recreational activities and were selected as Youth Ambassadors of Sustainability.
On September 25, the National Sustainability Day, the Altri Group joined companies around the world in the "2024 SDG Flag Campaign " in celebration of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

On March 21, Altri celebrated the Day of the Forest with 50 children from the Furadouro School Complex. Accompanied by Altri employees, they planted 20 trees in the property of Quinta do Furadouro.

The Altri Group Summer Academy has hosted a total of 47 young people, aged between 17 and 23 years. Secondary and university students, from diverse training areas, were able to experience the day-to-day life of various companies.
There were days marked by teamwork in the various areas where they were inserted, with the challenge of conducting business cases, as well as attending workshops on job market insertion.
These protocols aim to encourage the practice of sports as a means of promoting a healthy lifestyle for local communities, particularly children and young people from the surrounding areas of the Group's manufacturing units.

The Group is engaged in several social projects started in previous years, namely:
No Differences E8G is a project developed under the National Program "Choices 8th Generation" that aims to promote educational and social change in the medium term. Consolidating the work developed by schools, activities promoting the acquisition of personal, social, relational, and technological-digital skills intend to motivate the continuation of school attendance and contribute, consequently, to the reduction of absenteeism.
The project aims to promote a set of activities targeting children and young people from vulnerable socio-economic contexts with the goal of designing significant improvements in their social integration and school engagement to increase equal access to academic progression, and promote healthier lifestyles. Its ultimate goal is to support the creation of consistent and consequential life projects in a more promising future.
The direct participants are children and young people, of gypsy ethnicity and children of immigrants, disaggregated from the community, living in the neighbouring areas of the Celbi industrial unit (parishes of Marinha das Ondas and S. Pedro).
This project is developed by Caritas Diocesana de Coimbra, with several companies in the Centro region, and that is why it has the support of Celbi, S.A.
(S3-5)
Currently, Altri has no specific goals defined for the Communities. However, the Group monitors the effectiveness of its actions through continuous dialogue, allowing it to identify, prevent and mitigate any negative impacts, as well as contribute to the well-being and economic development of communities.
As a result of the dual materiality process conducted by the Altri Group, the positive impact of Altri's innovation culture was identified as material within the scope of business conduct, which reinforces its competitiveness against other market players. The focus on innovation allows, on the one hand, to reduce costs, increase the efficiency of production processes, and develop products of higher added value and, on the other, to boost projects with positive impacts on the environment and society.
The Altri Group makes clear commitments to the environment and all its stakeholders. Failure to comply with the established ESG objectives, as well as the occurrence of acts of corruption or bribery, may compromise the relationship with stakeholders and have therefore been identified as a reputational risk to Altri. In the Table below are presented some of the IROs' materials related to business conduct.

Good corporate governance is the basis of the success of organizations. Today, we cannot conceive of a prosperous and healthy organization without a good management team, aware that decisions should be based on criteria of economic, environmental and social sustainability. The government model must also ensure the necessary mechanisms to support and control the activity of the management team, so that the decisions taken by the management team are complemented or reinforced by the different views and perspectives that each body or committee performs within that model. Thus, the Altri Group has established and implemented a set of corporate policies and codes of conduct to ensure and promote good practices of business conduct and corporate culture:
Risk management is an essential component within companies that has been gaining significant relevance in recent years. The objective of the Risk Management Policy is to ensure that all decisionmaking processes, at different levels of organization, are guided by predefined, known, and transparent criteria, holding all stakeholders accountable, ensuring the existence of consistent and transversal practices. This management policy was defined based on COSO ERM:2017, ISO31000:2018, and the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Institute.
All Altri Group companies must apply the risk management policy, which must be observed by all Altri employees, including managers and members of social bodies. It is the responsibility of management and operational units to ensure risk management, which enables greater awareness and consideration

in decision-making at all levels of the organization, taking into account the inherent responsibility of each actor.
The Altri Code of Ethics reflects the principles and rules that should guide the relations of all companies that are part of the Altri Group and the respective stakeholders, and aims to guide the personal and professional conduct of all its employees, regardless of their position or role, based on common ethical principles. The Code applies to all employees of the Group, including the governing bodies of all companies, as well as to professional representatives, external auditors, customers, suppliers, and other individuals providing services to them under any title (partners), on a permanent or occasional basis.
In the Code of Ethics, the guiding principles and commitments of different themes are established: Employee behavior and relationship with stakeholders; Conflicts of interest; Equal opportunities and non-discrimination; Repudiation of harassment; Safety and health at work; Freedom of association; Defence of Human Rights and Social Responsibility; Commitment to sustainability; Integrity and loyalty in business; Protection of information privacy and confidentiality; Report of irregularities; among others.
In the context of the Commitment 2030, the Altri Group is one of the signatories of the Portuguese Platform for Integrity (PPI), an initiative of United Nations Global Compact Network Portugal and APEE - Portuguese Association of Business Ethics, thereby reinforcing its commitment to integrity.

The Decree-Law No. 109-E/2021, of December 9, created the National Anti-Corruption Mechanism and establishes the general regime for the prevention of corruption ("General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption" or "GRPC"). Pursuant to Article 5, no. 1 of the GRPC, "The entities concerned shall adopt and implement a regulatory compliance program that includes at least a corruption and related infringement risk prevention plan (RPP), a code of conduct, a training program and a reporting channel, to prevent, detect and sanction acts of corruption and related offences, carried out against or through the entity.".
Altri, in compliance with the General Corruption Prevention Scheme, is in the phase of adoption and implementation of its regulatory compliance program, which aims to prevent, detect, and sanction acts of corruption and related violations and which integrates:

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to establish the set of principles, values and rules of action of all Altri employees, regardless of the position or function they perform, as well as of all those who represent or relate to Altri, including the Partners, irrespective of the service they provide, in the field of professional ethics, taking into account the criminal rules relating to Corruption and Related Offences and the risks of exposure of the entity to these crimes. Additionally, it outlines the penalties applicable in the event of non-compliance with the established rules.
The Board of Directors of Altri has appointed, under the terms of the GRPC, a Head of Normative Compliance, whose mission is to guarantee and control the implementation of the regulatory compliance program, exercising its functions independently, permanently and with decision-making autonomy, ensuring that Altri has the internal information and the human and technical means necessary for the proper performance of its function.
Altri's culture is grounded on values of transparency, accountability, and integrity, and is genuinely committed to the active prevention and fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Policy (ML/TF Policy) establishes standard rules for preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing, ensuring a day-to-day basis for the entire Altri Group, and applies to its management and supervisory bodies, employees, and all service providers. The commitments made in this policy are listed as presented:
Collective initiatives in the fight against corruption are a collaborative and sustained process of cooperation between stakeholders, which aim to increase the impact and credibility of individual action, bringing together individual organizations in an alliance of organizations that share the same ideas. All of the above policies and codes have been validated and approved by the Board of Directors

of the Altri Group, which is also responsible for approving any changes, and are available for consultation of all employees and partners on the Altri Group website.
The Altri Group has a specific mechanism for reporting irregularities, which aligns with the purposes of Recommendation No. II.2.4 of the IPCG Corporate Governance Code, substantiates ethical or legal violations with a significant impact in the fields of accounting, the fight against corruption, and banking and financial crime (Whistleblowing), which safeguards the confidentiality of the transmitted information and the identity of the notifier whenever requested.
For reporting any non-compliance situations, namely, related to human and labor rights, the Altri Group has a reporting channel accessible to all individuals, natural or legal, who may be adversely affected by the Altri Group or who wish to claim, report, clarify or expose any situation. This reporting channel is accessible to all stakeholders through the Altri website, in the Code of Ethics, the protection of whistleblowers is included.
The Supervisory Board is the main body to which any communications of irregularities should be directed by any employee, partner, client, supplier or any other stakeholder. The Supervisory Board will establish a perfect articulation with the Ethics Committee in relation to all matters that require the intervention and action of the latter. If any complaint is sent to the Ethics Committee of the Company, the Company shall forward it to the Supervisory Board if the respective matters, according to the law, must be dealt by this body. If any employee prefers to communicate anonymously, written comments may be submitted through the whistleblowing channel, providing as much detail as possible, if the situation is deemed suitable for reporting there.
Although there is a simple access channel with a guarantee of confidentiality, in recent years, there have been no reported misconduct cases, which is probably due to a greater external and internal focus on ethical conduct, compliance, and voicing concerns. Despite this context, Altri continued to strengthen its governance and operation model for ethics and compliance topics.
Throughout 2024, training actions were developed under the General Corruption Prevention Scheme, within the framework of the Compliance Program that is being implemented. The training actions aimed to inform workers about the rights and obligations arising from the General Corruption Prevention Scheme, enabling them to understand the policies and procedures for preventing corruption and related violations. These training actions are mandatory and face-to-face, and have been addressed to all workers of the Altri Group.
With regard to the assessment of roles at risk, Altri recognizes that certain functions, namely Industrial and Corporate Procurement, Forest Procurement, Fund and Grant Management, Stakeholder Relations and Financial Management are more susceptible to the risk of corruption and bribery, given their involvement in critical financial transactions and interactions with key business partners. Thus, monitoring processes are developed that ensure compliance with the highest standards of integrity and compliance with established policies.

(G1-2)
Altri's value chain is fundamentally dependent on the relationship with suppliers for the continuity and efficiency of its operations. The Group depends on the ability to deliver materials and services from suppliers, but also on strict compliance with legal, tax, environmental, and sustainability policies.
To strengthen relationships based on trust and mutual responsibility, Altri adopts rigorous criteria in selecting partners, prioritizing national suppliers, and thereby actively contributing to the promotion of the local and national economy.
The application for registration of all suppliers in the External Providers Quality Requirements Portal (PQSE or "Portal") is the method that Altri uses to maintain a close relationship and facilitate verification of the requirements for its suppliers. More detailed information about this Portal can be found in the ESRS S2 Workers in the Value Chain - Actions and Resources section.

(G1-3)
Altri adopts a zero tolerance policy for all forms of bribery and corruption, ensuring its application through the implementation of preventive measures, detection, and effective response to allegations or incidents of this nature.
Within the framework of its Risk Prevention Program (PPR), Altri identifies, analyzes, and classifies the potential risks of corruption and related violations across all areas of the Group's activity. In addition, it systematizes the measures already implemented to prevent the materialization of these risks, as well as those that, in a continuous effort to strengthen the compliance program, contribute to reducing their likelihood of occurrence and impact.
To ensure strict control, Altri has a set of preventive and corrective measures, including the Code of Ethics, the Code of Conduct on Corruption Prevention and Related Offences, the Internal Reporting Channel, the Rules on Transactions with Related Parties and Conflicts of Interest, the Risk Management Policy and the Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Policy.

MANAGEMENT REPORT SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
The Corruption Risk Prevention and Related Infringements Plan (PPR) is reviewed every three years or whenever a risk review is justified, precisely due to changes in the attributions or in the organic or corporate structure of the Group that imply the revision of the risk matrix. This Plan, which will be permanently monitored and periodically reviewed, identifies, analyzes and classifies, about the area of activity of the Altri Group, the potential risks of corruption or related offenses, also systematizing existing measures to prevent the materialization of these risks, as well as those that, in a continuous effort to strengthen the existing regulatory compliance program, contribute to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and the impact of identified risks and situations. The definition of risk degrees for the purposes of the said Plan was based on two variables: (i) the probability of occurrence of risk situations; and (ii) the foreseeable impact of the infringements to which it may give rise (or the severity of the consequence).
Altri has also been developing different measures and procedures to enable it to combat and prevent corruption and bribery, including:
In addition, principles such as delegation of competences, segregation of functions, and the "Four Eyes" rule are applied, as well as specific clauses in contracts with clients and suppliers to enhance transparency.
Altri guarantees that investigations or committees of inquiry concerning cases of corruption and bribery are conducted by entities independent of the management chain involved, ensuring impartiality and accuracy in the analysis of the facts.
The results of the investigations and audits are communicated in a structured way to the governing, management and supervisory bodies, allowing the adoption of appropriate corrective measures and the continuous strengthening of internal control mechanisms. For this purpose, Altri relies on the performance of Internal Audit and External Auditor, which play a crucial role in assessing the effectiveness of implemented policies and recommending continuous improvements.

The payment conditions for suppliers depend on the type of product or service provided, with various modalities existing.
For wood and chemical suppliers, the payment term is 30 days, while for general suppliers, contracts assume a payment term of 60 days.

For the calculation of the average payment time, all invoices issued and paid in 2024 were used.
The year 2024 confirmed the recent trend towards shorter cycles in the pulp sector. After a promising start to the year with prices reaching all-time highs in the first half, the evolution of global pulp demand slowed down during the second half of 2024. Despite Europe and North America showing a sustained level of demand throughout the year, China, after its best year ever in 2023 in terms of demand growth, showed a slowdown in the second half of the year, largely due to less dynamism in the local paper market. Towards the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, we began to see a reactivation of demand levels in China, driven by a more active domestic market and some restrictions on the local pulp supply side.
After reaching new highs during the second quarter of 2024, pulp prices corrected until the end of 2024. The deterioration in prices began in China, followed by Europe and North America until the end of 2024. As a result, the average price of PIX, the global benchmark for pulp prices, fell by around 20% in 4Q24 compared to the previous quarter, with the list price of BHKP pulp in Europe at the end of the year ending at US\$ 1,000/ton. According to recent announcements, we can anticipate a recovery in BHKP pulp prices during the first few months of the year, although in average terms this improvement will still be barely visible in 1Q25.
The Altri Group remains focused on maintaining or slightly increasing the main variable costs in 2025. This evolution may be less optimistic during 1Q25, since the normalization of the operation of Celbi's cogeneration turbine is expected to occur only at the end of March 2025. During 2024, and as estimated, the economic impact of this incident was around €6 M. In addition, the increase in DP production at Biotek, increases in electricity and gas prices and some increases in the price of caustic soda may also have an impact on variable costs in the short term.
As a pillar of its strategy, the Altri Group is focused on developing several projects of diversification and growth, of which we highlight the project to recover and valorize acetic acid and furfural from renewable resources at Caima, set to conclude by the end of 2025. Additionally, the project to fully migrate the production of Paper Pulp (BHKP) to Dissolving Pulp until the end of 2026 in Biotek continues to advance according to the previously defined plan. Regarding the Gama project in Galicia (Spain), in March, the Xunta de Galicia, through its Environmental Council, published a favorable Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) for the project. Although additional permits are required, the DIA represents an important milestone, as it assesses the project as complying with environmental regulations in force.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ANNEXES TO THE MANAGEMENT REPORT
Altri assesses its resilience to climate change through TCFD recommendations. According to the World Economic Forum, climate change represents the highest risk (severity) globally over the next 10 years. As Earth's temperature increases, extreme weather events are increasingly common, disrupting natural ecosystems and human health, causing economic losses to businesses, and threatening their assets and infrastructure.
In this context, and in line with various international initiatives (SDG, Paris Agreement, European Green Deal, among others), there is a growing need for the investor community to analyse business resilience against climate risks and opportunities, requiring clear financial information markets, comprehensive and accurate on the impacts of climate change on business performance. In this sense, and to promote the dissemination of comparable and quality information, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) to improve and increase the disclosure of climate-related financial information. TCFD, in its working context, has published a set of recommendations for reporting financial information, related to climate risks and opportunities, centred on four key areas: Governance; Strategy; Risk Management; and Metrics and Goals.
This recommendation aims to evaluate the resilience of companies' strategies to different climate scenarios and integrate the most relevant associated risks in the risk management framework.
Given the current context, and with climate change and GHG emissions being one of our material themes, we have the concern and ambition to align the report with the recommendations of TCFD. In this sense, we identified opportunities for improvement on an ongoing basis to provide the best possible response to the expectations of the capital market and the different stakeholders. This is a logical step for us, continuing the Group's effort and ambition to contribute to climate change mitigation, in line with 2030 Commitment.
Taking into account the best management and reporting practices, and in view of the genesis and culture of the Group, Altri regularly monitors climate risks and opportunities, reporting relevant information in accordance with TCFD recommendations in CDP - Climate change, having obtained the result 'Leadership (A-)' in 2023. In addition, this report also aims to respond to the recommendations of the TCFD, presenting information related to the four key areas mentioned. Some relevant points are the governance model for climate change, the impacts associated with climate risks and opportunities, how climate risks and opportunities are identified, evaluated and managed, and various relevant metrics and targets to assess and manage climate risks and opportunities. A table of correspondence between the recommendations of TCFD and the communication channel where it is reported the most detailed information for this purpose is also presented.

The evaluation and reporting exercise is dynamic and is continually reviewed to ensure that our management and reporting practices are aligned with the needs of the capital market and appropriate to the business context in which the Group fits.
Our concern and effort are clear - to contribute to sustainable development and to base strategic priorities on objectives of continuous improvement, innovation, and sustainability. To this end, the Board of Directors (BoD) delegates to the Executive Board (EB) the responsibility to ensure the management of sustainability and climate change, with the support of the Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee, and the Sustainability Management (see the governance structure).
In 2023, the Sustainability Committee evolved to a Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee (CSAR), whose main objective is to support the Board of Directors in defining and monitoring the sustainability strategy, in line with the '2030 Commitment', integrating the climate change theme (e.g. assessing and managing risks and opportunities of climate change; Propose greenhouse gas emission reduction (GHG) targets and initiatives; Review strategies, targets, and budgets, and monitor performance, among others). CSAR meets at least every three months and reports directly to the BoD.
The Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee has the support of the Sustainability Directorate and the Sustainability Working Group, which leads the daily and operational work, in alignment with other relevant areas of the Group, with direct responsibility in the implementation and daily management of the themes of sustainability and climate change (e.g. Operational, Legal, Human Resources, Procurement and Logistics, Forest and Wood Supply, Financial, Investor and Commercial Relations). In addition, the Sustainability Directorate, through the Director for Sustainability-related issues, reports directly and weekly to the Executive Board.


In line with the vision and strategy, Altri aims to be a reference company in the production of eucalyptus cellulosic fibers, based on sustainable forest management.To achieve this ambition, Altri has defined as its objectives the implementation of processes for continuous improvement of environmental performance, namely, the reduction of the ecological footprint, the increase in operational efficiency in industrial units, the increase in productivity, and the promotion of sustainable forest management. Based on this vision, and with climate change being a material theme, the Altri Group monitors the risks and opportunities associated with climate change, identifying transient risks (e.g. political/legal, reputational, among others), physical risks (e.g. acute) and climate opportunities (e.g. new products and services, resource efficiency, among others).

STATUTORY AND AUDITOR'S REPORT |
REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD |
Context: Altri's plants (Biotek, Caima, and Celbi) are covered by the European Emissions Trading System (CELE, EU-ETS). With the transition from phase III to phase IV of the CELE (2021-2030), the allocation of free licenses will be reduced, so it may be necessary to purchase CO2 emission allowances. If industrial units do not follow the energy transition and the European objectives, a significant financial impact may occur, especially with the increase in CO2 price.
Impact: Altri is exposed to the risk of rising greenhouse gas emissions prices due to current and emerging regulations. With the EU ETS Phase 4, which is more stringent, the allocation of free CO2 licenses to Celbi and Biotek has been reduced, particularly affecting Celbi. Biotek continues to face deficits in CO2 licenses. These factors may lead to a significant financial impact for Altri, mainly due to potential increases in the price of CO2e.
. Within the framework of the Commitment 2030, we have established several GHG reduction targets, namely: Consume 100% of primary renewable energy and reduce specific GHG emissions of scopes 1 and 2 by 51%, both contributing to the approved Science Based Target (SBT) to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 51% and scope 3 by 25%, aligned with the temperature increase of 1.5oC comparatively to the preindustrial values.
. Annual implementation of various energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction initiatives.
. ISO 50001 certification of the industrial units Biotek, Caima, and Celbi.
. Caima Go Green Project: future investment of €50M in Caima to make carbon-neutral operations (biomass against fossil fuels). The boiler project was approved in 2021 and was operational at the end of 2023.
. Installation of 4 units of photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of warehouses in industrial units and Altri Florestal.

Context: Altri develops its activity in the production of cellulosic eucalyptus fibers, wood being its main raw material, along with chemicals. The company's three cellulosic fiber factories have a joint capacity of more than 1 million tons per year. Although Altri owns some forests, its wood supply comes mostly from suppliers in the Iberian Peninsula and a small percentage of certified sources in South America. The availability and cost of wood are critical factors for Altri's operations and profitability. However, the impacts of climate change on forests, competitiveness for forest resources, regulatory and market factors, and extreme events pose risks to the cost and availability of raw materials, potentially increasing the cost of wood and chemicals for Altri.
Transition - Market Increased cost of raw materials (wood and chemicals)
Impact: Altri is exposed to the risk of increased costs of raw materials, mainly wood, due to the impacts of climate change on forests, the competitiveness of wood by other sectors, and market and regulatory factors. These factors can result in lower availability, lower quality, and higher prices of wood and chemicals, with an impact on Altri's production costs and overall profitability.

Context: The increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather phenomena, including severe precipitation and flooding, may have adverse impacts on the stability of the supply of raw materials to Altri, namely wood and chemicals. Although Altri uses its forests for 15%-20% of its wood supply, most come from suppliers in the Iberian Peninsula and a small percentage of certified sources in South America. On the other hand, with plants located in regions prone to extreme events, Celbi, Caima, and Biotek are exposed to various risks related to extreme weather phenomena. This risk exposes Altri to possible financial costs.
Increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events: heavy rain and floods, storms, and tornados' frequency
. Management of stocks of wood parks, considering the periods of non-season.
. Research and development projects in genetic improvement of varieties more resistant to climate change in regions where we currently have forests and the possibility of production in new geographies.
. Production and release of natural enemies for the fight of pests in the forest.
Impact: Altri is subject to the risk of increased frequency and severity of heavy rains and floods, which may have adverse impacts on the stability of the supply of wood and chemicals, as well as on the continuity of operation. Potential impacts include damage to wood inventory, increased repair costs and/or replacement of damaged assets, the shortage of raw materials, higher insurance premiums, and penalties for compliance with contractual guarantees.

Context: The IPCC's 6th assessment report highlights high confidence in increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather phenomena, including forest fires, in the regions where Altri operates. Altri manages a significant forest area in Portugal, and the risk of forest fires poses a threat to its forest heritage. Longer periods of drought and higher temperatures increase the likelihood of forest fires, which can decrease the value of assets and their useful life, resulting in write-offs or impairments. In addition, dependence on the external supply of wood can lead to an increase in costs. Portugal has a history of severe forest fires during the hot months, further exposing Altri to this risk.
Physical – Acute Increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events
Impact: Altri faces the risk of increased frequency and severity of forest fires, influenced by longer periods of drought and
higher temperatures. This poses a risk to your forest assets in Portugal and may decrease their value and useful life, requiring write-offs or impairments. In addition, dependence on the external supply of wood can lead to an increase in costs.
Context: Altri manages forests in Portugal, which cover a significant area and constitute a crucial source of wood for the company's activities. Increasing the frequency and severity of droughts due to climate change poses a significant risk to these forests. Prolonged periods of drought and high temperatures can lead to reduced water availability, which can directly affect tree growth and forest productivity. If trees do not receive enough water, they may become more susceptible to diseases, pests, and forest fires, damaging the quality and quantity of the raw material available for the production of cellulosic fibers.On the other hand, the water resource is fundamental for Altri's operation in the factories
Physical – Acute Increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events: water shortage/droughts
Impact: The risk of increased frequency and severity of droughts is a threat to Altri's forests. The lack of water during a drought may affect the quality of the trees and, consequently, the quality of the cellulosic fibers produced. Trees stressed by drought can show irregular growth, weaker wood, and lower fiber yield, which affects the final quality of the product.
. The implementation of an innovative wood cooking technology (fine grain material digester) improved the efficiency of raw material use, increasing production capacity (2,5%) and reducing the specific consumption of wood and waste.

For Altri, a substantive change (financial impact) can be described as one that can directly affect us or its value chain: Financially, relevant changes in key financial KPIs (e.g. revenues), or strategically, as is the case of changes that make it impossible to pursue the strategic objectives of the company. See subchapter subsection 1.4 Risk and uncertainty management..
Risk management is carried out in a value-creation perspective, with a clear identification of threat situations that may affect business objectives. The Group's management, based on sustainability criteria, is becoming increasingly crucial within the organization, and risk management is monitored in a holistic manner (including environmental and social components), with increasing acuteness.
The risks related to climate change are one of the risks with materiality in general risk analysis. To deepen risks and opportunities, work is carried out in conjunction with the direction of risk and sustainability. For mapping and validating the risks presented were included, in addition to administration, several directions of the 3 industrial units, representing the areas of production,

maintenance, forest management, supplies, and logistics, so that we can identify all risks with the potential to impact the activities and operations of the Altri Group.
Investors and other stakeholders require a deep understanding of how an organization measures and monitors its risks and opportunities, including those related to climate change. Access to the metrics and goals used by the organization allows stakeholders to better evaluate the potential risk-return relationship of the organization, the ability to meet financial obligations, the general exposure to climate impacts and progress in management, mitigation and adaptation to them.
The way Altri manages sustainability considers several interrelated metrics, aligned with the decarbonization of the economy and several goals, within the scope of the 2030 Commitment.

| 2-19 | Remuneration policies | The fixed overall remuneration of the Board of Directors, including the remuneration paid by the participating companies to the members of the Board of Directors, may not exceed € 4,000,000 per year. The remuneration of non-executive directors includes only one fixed component, corresponding to a fixed monthly remuneration, the amount of which is determined by the remuneration committee, and reviewed, if necessary, periodically, taking into account the best practices and responsibilities of each non-executive administrator. The remuneration of executive directors includes two components: (i) a fixed component, corresponding to a monthly amount paid, and (ii) variable component, which includes a variable short-term premium (paid annually) and a variable medium-term premium (paid after a 3-year deferral). The variable component (short-term and medium-term) is determined according to the individual performance of each executive director, taking into account the respective annual individual assessment, according to the previously defined quantitative (financial and non-financial) and qualitative objectives. The short-term variable bonus is paid annually and cannot exceed the annual fixed remuneration. The medium-term variable bonus is configured in the form of Phantom Shares, which is a calculation formula that consists of setting an a priori value for Altri shares, which will correspond to the value of the closing price on a given day and assuming an investment of a certain value in the Company's shares, and can be exercised in full, within a certain period to be agreed which will never be less than three years from the date of its attribution, or for a maximum amount of 50% (fifty per cent) within 4 (four) years and for the remaining amount of 50% (fifty per cent) within 5 (five) years, in any case from the date it is granted, subject to verification and compliance with quantitative performance objectives associated with the Total Share Return, which is why its payment is not guaranteed. |

Disclosures Location/default SDGs GRI 205 - ANTI-CORRUPTION 2016 205-1 Operations assessed for the risk of corruption In June 2023, the Altri Group - in compliance with Decree-Law no. 109-E/2021, of December 9, which establishes the General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption - published the Plan for the Prevention of Corruption Risks and Related Infringements, available on its website. This Plan, which will be permanently monitored and periodically reviewed, identifies, analyzes, and classifies, the area of activity of the Altri Group, the potential risks of corruption or related offenses, also systematizing existing measures to prevent the materialization of these risks, as well as those that, in a continuous effort to strengthen the existing regulatory compliance program, contribute to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and the impact of identified risks and situations. The definition of risk degrees for the said Plan was based on two variables: (i) the probability of occurrence of risk situations; and (ii) the foreseeable impact of the infringements to which it may give rise (or the severity of the consequence). From the analysis, it was concluded that there were no situations of high or maximum residual risk, and in October 2023 the Altri Group prepared an interim evaluation report that reiterated this conclusion, also available on its website. 16

Altri, within the framework of responsible water management as a natural resource, mapped its operations according to the risk associated with water use, through the Aqueduct Water Tool, developed by WRI. According to this mapping, 100% of Altri's operations are located in areas where water stress has a low to medium level.
Celbi captures water on the Mondego River and in underground water holes for use in the pulp manufacturing process, along which there are several loop closures to reduce the maximum amount of fresh water collected. At the end of the process, the waters are treated and returned to the receiving medium following the criteria defined for the quality of the final effluent.
303-1 Interactions with water as Biotek takes water from the Tagus River for use in the pulp manufacturing process and also supplies WTS-treated water to the Navigator and Paper Prime plants. In the process of pulp production, several actions were implemented, namely closure of circuits, and recycling of treated effluent from the Biotek WWTP, given the high quality achieved, thus reducing water uptake. At the end of the process, the waters are treated and returned to the receiving medium by the criteria defined for the quality of the final effluent.
Caima captures water on the Tagus River for use in the pulp manufacturing process, along which there are several loop closures to reduce the maximum amount of freshwater captured. At the end of the process, the waters are treated and returned to the receiving medium by the criteria defined for the quality of the final effluent.

Altri Florestal monitors the quality of the riverside habitat of the main streams with permanent character in the area under management. The results of this evaluation allow us to classify some of the sections of the streams as High Conservation Value and the company considers certifying the Ecosystem Services of two pilot areas in 2024 through the FSC procedure.

The point of discharge and the quality of the final effluent are defined in the permit for the rejection of wastewater. In Caima, in particular, the discharge takes place in a single point in the water medium, where the plant effluent converges after primary treatment followed by secondary treatment, and the potentially contaminated rainwater from the wood park, after the primary treatment (physical separation). The quality of the final effluent is defined in TEU. As guidelines for effluent quality, the values identified in the BREF of this industry are also followed. Annual monitoring is carried out to the receiving medium according to the title of private use of the national maritime space and the definition of the ELVs below is according to the period under analysis (dry, wet, exceptional). |

Reduction of GHG | At Celbi, the emission reduction was due to the implementation of a daily monitoring routine of CO2 emissions, with the emission source flows by each of the facilities, the Preventive Maintenance Plan for regular interventions, to reduce natural gas consumption. burning in the kiln of lime of 100% of the methanol produced in the wood baking process, allowing the reduction of natural gas consumption, optimization of the performance process, and the Gigaliners, that transport the fibers between Celbi and the Maritime Port of Figueira da Foz. |
|
| At Biotek, it was due to several optimizations in the operation of the lime kiln, to repairs carried out at the annual shutdown for improvements of the burner systems, lime kiln, and filters, and to the definition of actions for the use of process methanol, replacing natural gas. |
|||
| At Caima, it was due to the Go Green Project, the construction of a forest biomass cogeneration plant, allowing the decarbonization of the Caima plant. |
|||
| At Altri Florestal, the use of hybrid machinery allowed the reduction of GHG emissions. |

| In the industrial units of Altri, the sludge resulting from the effluent treatment of the plant is energy-recovered in the biomass boilers installed in the industrial complex. |
||||
| Secondary sludge resulting from the effluent treatment of Celbi is energy recovered at the recovery boiler. |

|||
| In Biotek, secondary sludge resulting from the removal of the organic raw material in the plant's sector effluents is mainly directed to composting. |
||||
| In Caima, secondary sludge resulting from effluent treatment is energy recovered at the biomass plant and is also sent to composting. |
||||
| In all Altri units waste management is managed according to the applicable legal obligations. |
||||
| Management of significant impacts associated with waste |
In Celbi, within the framework of the Digestor do Serrim Project, the tailings from the screening that result from the pulp production process and the sawmill that results from the wood processing are sent to the digester that allows the recovery of the cellulose fibers for pulp production. |
|||
| 306-2 | In Biotek, there was a reduction in the production regime during the year, which directly impacted the amount of lime sludge produced which was reduced in comparison with the homologous period. |
|||
| In Caima, the process was optimized through the reincorporation of primary sludge into pulp production. |
12 14 |
|||
| In Altri Florestal, all waste sent to waste management companies is transported with the e-OHR document, the only waste generated in forest management is fertilizer packaging. |
In general, all waste sent to waste management companies was weighed in the industrial premises, so that the monitoring of waste production is carried out using equipment subject to legal metrological control and/or according to internal instructions.

| 403-2 | Hazard identification, risk assessment and incident investigation |
Within the scope of the SST Management System certification, the organization has internal procedures for risk assessment of the various activities, from the design phase of the equipment, through its assembly and modification, and operation and maintenance interventions. All activities in both operational areas and support areas are evaluated through a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Matrix that receives the contribution of workers and is periodically analyzed at the level of the CASST (Committee on Environment and Safety and Health at Work), integrating elected representatives of workers. In this Risk Assessment Matrix, the risk mitigation measures (EPC, PPE, and others) are listed. Employees who identify dangerous hazards or situations will be covered by the Altri Code of Ethics and Conduct, protecting them from any kind of reprisal. To ensure the quality of processes for hazard identification, risk assessment, and accident investigation, certification audits and internal audits are carried out, including audits on forest work and wood and biomass deposits, training is promoted and information on the H&S standards and risks in the workplace, analysis of incidents and near accidents, training and exercises for the Emergency Intervention Teams, inspections to workplaces and simulations are carried out for training the teams for first intervention and accidents in forest work, and there is a fire brigade for emergency response. For the investigation of labor incidents, there are procedures in place that determine how to investigate, discuss, and implement the measures necessary to minimize the occurrence of work incidents. The 5 Whys methodology is used, reported incidents and disseminated throughout the organization. The evaluation and improvement of the H&S Management System is ensured through the periodic review of the system itself, the establishment of objectives and improvement plans in H&S, and the updating of the risk assessment matrix. |

Altri's commitment to sustainable development is reinforced by the inclusion of sustainable funding in its long-term vision and support for the implementation of the "2030 Commitment".
Altri is aware of the future challenges and needs of its various stakeholders, namely shareholders and investors, and through sustainable financing aims to promote investment in projects that support the "2030 Commitment", which improve environmental performance, facilitate the production of clean and renewable energy and enhance integrated pollution prevention and control.

Altri's Green Bond Framework was developed to ensure the transparency, disclosure, and integrity of Altri's green bond emissions that support the implementation of the "2030 Commitment".
Altri's Green Bond Framework is aligned with the 2021 version of the Green Bond Principles (GBP), developed by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). Altri's green bonds framework is based on four main components, aligned with the principles of green bonds:
To confirm this alignment, Altri hired Sustainalytics, an independent and specialized ESG rating company, which acts as an external reviewer to issue a second-party opinion on this framework (which will apply to any Green Bonds issued by Altri).
Within the framework of green bonds, Altri intends to use revenues from the issuance of Green Bonds to finance or refinance new or existing projects, with a retrospective period of no more than 5 years, and activities, or acquire businesses defined in the categories of eligible green projects listed below.
Acquisition costs should ideally be limited to purely green companies, i.e. those that obtain at least 90% of their income from eligible activities, following the eligibility criteria set out in the green bonds below. The relevant use of revenues is described for each category and consists of individual projects, or a portfolio of selected projects based on the evaluation and selection process of Altri projects described in this table.
Fossil-fuel activities are excluded from all categories, and funding of Energy Procurement Contracts (CAE) based on nuclear energy and natural gas is also excluded. Where appropriate, revenue may be used to finance operational expenditure related to projects, which is expected to be less than 5% of total bond revenues, in R&D expenses and which will be accompanied by a project or a portfolio. Only projects and investments developed by Altri Group companies will be eligible for funding. All funded projects aim to support Altri's "2030 Commitment".
Eligible green projects aim to provide clear environmental benefits and impacts: Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy efficiency, decarbonization and use of renewable energy, water efficiency, waste reduction, and improvement of sustainable forest management practices, in line with the "2030 Commitment".
Altri also considers in its sustainability strategy the SDGs for which the potential impact is most relevant (and is detailed below for Eligible Green Projects).


To be eligible for Green Bond revenue, projects must fall within one (or more) of the following categories of eligible green bond projects.
| Eligible categories | Eligible projects | United Nations Sustainable Development Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Sustainable use of water and wastewater management |
► Drinking water distribution and wastewater treatment infrastructures for industrial use except wastewater resulting from fossil fuel operations. ► Reuse of treated wastewater, including equipment needed for reuse and recycling - (water recycling systems) ► Desalination projects powered exclusively by renewable energy (Altri adopted a waste management plan for the disposal of brine) ► All activities listed in this category, within the framework of this table, exclude wastewater from the exploitation of fossil fuels. |
6. Clean water and sanitation ► By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. ► By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity. |
| Renewable energy | ►Renewable energy production (solar, wind, bioenergy, biomass and waste) - ►Altri's raw material for bioenergy and biomass includes residual forest biomass and black liquor (burning wood components not suitable for cellulosic fiber production). Raw material production does not i) occur on land with high biodiversity and does not exhaust existing land carbon reserves or compete with food production; ii) the emission intensity throughout the life cycle of electricity projects will be less than 100 g CO 2E/kWh. ►The activities covered are the development, operations, maintenance, and refurbishment of the facilities. There is no mix of biofuels with fossils at Altri's facilities. ►Renewable energy consumption - long term (>5 years) - Energy procurement contracts (CAE) to guarantee 100% of renewable energy supplied by the national network (mainly solar, wind, and biomass). ►Transmission lines/cables for energy transport/distribution, equipment to facilitate the transport of energy and processes related to the consumption of renewable energy for use in Altri's activities. |

Together with the implementation of the principles of green bonds, Altri's projects are subject to environmental, social, and governance requirements — namely, (ESG) - Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI Standards); United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs); carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for Climate, Water, and Forests; and Task Force on Climate Related

Disclosure (TCFD). Altri's Sustainability Directorate analyzes and performs a rigorous pre-selection of projects according to applicable standards, approving only those that comply with environmental and social risk assessment and do not present a risk of credibility, identifying potentially eligible projects in the context of the green bonds' framework. Projects approved in the pre-selection process are sent to the Executive Board for preliminary analysis.
If the Executive Board, after the preliminary analysis, concludes that the project meets the requirements necessary to proceed with a detailed analysis, the project is delivered to the evaluation of the Green Bonds Committee (GBC), which is responsible for the detailed analysis. The GBC is composed of members from different Altri Group directorates, including the Treasury area, who work together to ensure the correct allocation of bond revenues.
Following the detailed analysis by the GBC, and if it deserves the approval of the GBC, the project is again referred to the Executive Board for final approval of the project — if approved, the procedures for financing are initiated.

Net revenue from green bonds issued by Altri shall be managed based on a portfolio. Revenue will be used for financing eligible Green Projects (i.e., financing new or existing projects, M&A operations, acquisition of companies and other related and support expenses, R&D), as detailed above in the section "Revenue Use".
The Treasury team, which is part of the Directorate of Financial Operations and Credit Control, will ensure the allocation of net revenues following an internal management system that aims to define the destination of cash flows, establish reserve accounts for uninvested funds, and periodically adjust net

revenues. Other additional eligible investments and/or projects will be added to the portfolio of eligible green projects necessary to ensure that the net product of outstanding green bonds is affected to eligible Green Projects.
Pending the allocation of net revenues from green bonds, Altri will temporarily hold and/or invest the balance of net revenues not yet affected to the portfolio of eligible Green Projects, as it considers most appropriate, in its cash or equivalent liquidity portfolio, either temporarily in its treasury asset portfolio (cash or equivalent) or temporarily it will refund/purchase existing debt.
The debt refinanced or purchased will not be associated with controversial and high-carbon activities. Revenues not disbursed immediately will not be invested in non-green projects, GHG-intensive activities, or controversial activities. Altri will inform investors of the type of temporary placement foreseen for the balance of net unaffected revenues, which will be publicly disclosed on an annual basis, with the total allocation of the income of the bonds being made within a maximum period of five (5) years.
Following the principles of Green Bonds, Altri will provide an annual update to investors, through its Integrated Management Report (available on the Altri website), on activities related to the issuance of Green Bonds, including, as far as possible, information on the allocation of the use of resources, as well as relevant impact indicators.
The Altri Group obtained funding of 50 million euros through the issuance of green bonds (Green Bonds), with maturity of up to 5 (five) years, for the "Caima Go Green" project. With this operation, organized, assembled, and fully subscribed by Banco BPI, it was possible to finance the installation of a waste forest biomass boiler and a new turbo generator of 5 MW in Caima, in Constância. With a new biomass boiler, Caima, S.A., in Constância, abandoned fossil fuels throughout its production process, ensuring full energy autonomy from exclusively renewable sources. It thus becomes the first Iberian company in its industry to reach this historic milestone.
A critical part of the energy transition is decarbonization, which involves gradually reducing or eliminating the use of fossil fuels, which are a significant source of carbon emissions, and adopting low or no carbon sources of energy.
With the use of residual forest biomass, it is intended to guarantee the steam needs of the Caima plant, in Constância, eliminate the consumption of natural gas (carbon neutrality), maximize the generation/sale of electricity, and exhaust the installed capacity in the condensation turbine, allowing to increase its production levels. This bet will also allow the implementation of innovative specialty projects, such as the recovery and recovery of acetic and furfural acid, recovering from the procedural currents these green compounds that can be marketed with high added value. A future project thinking about the future, based on the pillars of innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement associated with the circular economy.
The residual forest biomass plant is designed, projected, and built based on the most modern concepts and technologies, to ensure maximum reliability and economy, maximum availability, high degree of automation, reduced environmental impact, compliance with the most demanding safety requirements of people and facilities and strict compliance with standards and best hygienic practices.

The shares and bonds held by members of management and supervisory boards in the Company and in companies in a control or group relationship with the Company, directly or through related persons, are disclosed in the appendices to the Management Report as required by Article 447 of the CSC and Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014.
The Board of Directors does not have any special powers, it has the competences and powers conferred on it by the CSC and the Company's Articles of Association.
We should note that Article 4 of the Company's Articles of Association, as amended by resolution taken on April 30, 2021, gives the Board of Directors the possibility to resolve to increase the Company's share capital, one or more times, up to the limit of 35 million Euro, establishing in that resolution the conditions of subscription and the categories of shares to be issued, from among the existing ones.
This statutory provision, pursuant to the final part of the Article 456(2)(b) of the CSC, will be in force for a period of five years, expiring on April 30, 2026 and, if not renewed by a new resolution of the General Meeting, such competence will, from then on, reside exclusively in the General Meeting.
There are no significant commercial relationships established directly between qualifying shareholders and the Company that the Company has been made aware of.
Information on the deals between the Company and related parties can be found in note 30 of the Notes to the Consolidated Statements and note 21 of the Notes to the Separate Accounts concerning transactions with related parties.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Company's Articles of Association and Article 374 of the CSC, the board of the General Meeting is composed of a chairman and a secretary elected by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting for a three-year term of office coinciding with the mandate of the Board of Directors and the Statutory Audit Board.

The current term of office started in 2023 and will end in 2025.
There are no statutory limitations on the exercise of voting rights at ALTRI.
The Company's share capital is fully represented by a single category of shares; each share corresponds to one vote and there are no statutory limitations on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by any shareholder.
The Company has not issued preferential shares without voting rights, nor any type of shares with special right to plural voting.
In order to participate in the General Meeting, shareholders are required to prove their status by reference to the "Registration Date" in compliance with the applicable legal provisions set forth in the Call Notice; the Company does not have requirements other than the ones established by law.
We should also note that, in line with the provisions of Article 23C(2) of the CVM, the exercise of participation and voting rights at the General Meeting is not impaired by the transfer of shares after the date of registration, nor does it require them to be blocked between that date and the date of the General Meeting.
Individual shareholders and legal persons may be represented by a person appointed for that purpose by means of a written document addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting, by letter delivered at the Company's headquarters by the end of the third business day prior to the General Meeting.
A shareholder may also, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, appoint different persons to represent shares held in different securities accounts, without prejudice to the principle of unity of vote and the possibility of voting in different directions legally provided for shareholders acting in a professional capacity.
The Company's shareholders may vote by correspondence on all matters subject to consideration by the General Meeting, by means of a written statement, with the identification of the shareholder which, in the case of a natural person, consists of a certified copy of the corresponding citizen card, required in compliance with Article 5(2) of Law 7/2007, of 5 February, as amended by Law no. 61/2021, of 19 August, and, in the case of a legal person, consists of a duly recognised signature, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.

Without prejudice to constantly monitoring the adequacy of its model and to respond immediately to any request addressed to it in a different direction, ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its general meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Statutory Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
In this context, the Company has not implemented the mechanisms required to allow exercising the right to vote by electronic means, or the possibility of attending the meeting by telematic means. These forms of voting and participation were never requested by any of the Company's Shareholders, so it is considered that the absence of such forms of voting and participation does not entail any constraint or restriction on the exercise of the right to vote and participate in General Meetings.
We should also note that the Company discloses, within the applicable legal deadlines and in all places required by law, the calls to General Meetings, which contain information on how shareholders can qualify to participate and exercise their voting rights, as well as on procedures to be adopted to allow exercising the right to vote by correspondence or to appoint a representative.
The Company also discloses, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, the deliberation proposals, the preparatory information required by law, representation letter drafts and ballot papers for exercising the right to vote by correspondence, in order to guarantee, promote and encourage the participation of the shareholders or their appointed representatives in the General Meetings.
In this context, the Company believes that the current model promotes and encourages, in the terms broadly described in this Report, the participation of the Shareholders in the General Meetings.
There are no limitations on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder or Group of shareholders.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, corporate resolutions are taken by a majority of the votes cast, regardless of the percentage of share capital represented at the meeting, unless a different majority is required by law.
In a second call, the General Meeting may deliberate regardless of the number of shareholders present and the share capital they represent.
The deliberative quorum of the General Meeting is required at ALTRI in accordance with the provisions of the CSC.

ALTRI adopts the governance model, which includes a Board of Directors and a Statutory Audit Board, as provided for in Article 278(1)(a) of the CSC, and a Statutory Auditor, in compliance with the provisions of Article 413(2)(a) of the CSC, by reference to the aforementioned Article 278(3).
The Board of Directors is, therefore, the body responsible for managing the Company's business in pursuit of its corporate purpose, determining its strategic orientation, without prejudice to the monitoring and assessment of management by the Statutory Audit Board, within the scope of its powers.
The Company continuously monitors the adequacy of the model in place, which has proved to be perfectly suitable and crucial for the Group's good performance, ensuring an adequate flow of information between the various company bodies.
ALTRI Group has incorporated a policy of diversity in the composition of its governing bodies, with emphasis on gender diversity.
Considering that the activities carried out by the Group's companies are industrial and forestry management activities where there is a historical predominance of the male gender, at ALTRI there are more and more women in leadership positions.
ALTRI values people and recognizes their merit for their excellent performance, promoting equal opportunities and non-discrimination.

The members of the Board of Directors who are currently in office have already shown that they have the individual characteristics (namely competence, independence, integrity, availability and experience) to fully perform their duties in line with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders, thanks to their seniority and experience.
The Company, through the Corporate Governance Committee, periodically assesses the adequacy of the current model to the size of the company and the complexity of the risks inherent in its activity. The Board of Directors, in turn, assisted by the various bodies and committees of the Company, promotes the continuous improvement of its procedures, approving regulations and policies, current and capable of responding to the growing challenges of today's society.
The members of the Company's Board of Directors are elected by the Shareholders, by resolution taken at the General Meeting. The members of the Board of Directors are elected for a period of three years and can be re-elected one or more times.The Board of Directors is composed of an even or odd number of members, with a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen, shareholders or not, elected by the General Meeting, which may, immediately, appoint its President.
The Group's market positioning and the results disclosed to the public over the years, particularly in demanding and challenging years such as the year 2024, show that the Company's management team has been performing its duties with a high level of expertise, precision and competence.
Also with regard to the election of the members of the Board of Directors, it is important to mention the statutory rule set forth in Article 15 of the Articles of Association, according to which, at the electoral General Meeting, one director may be elected among the candidates proposed on the lists endorsed by Groups of shareholders, depending on whether the total number is three or four, five or six, seven or more than seven, provided that none of said Groups holds shares representing more than twenty percent and less than ten per cent of the Company's share capital. If there are proposals to that effect, the election will be held separately before the election of the other directors. Each of the aforementioned lists shall propose at least two candidates eligible for each of the available positions. No shareholder may subscribe to more than one of the aforementioned lists, and if, in a single election, lists are submitted by more than one group, the voting will be based on all of these lists. These rules will only apply if, under any circumstances, the Company is considered to be a public company, a State concessionary or an entity equivalent to it.
The Board of Directors, currently composed of fifteen members, is the body responsible for managing the Company's business in the pursuit of its corporate purpose, as well as for determining ALTRI's strategic orientation; therefore, in carrying out its duties, the Board of Directors always acts in the manner it deems more suitable to defend the Company's interests, focused on permanently creating value for its shareholders and other stakeholders.
On December 31, 2024, this body was composed of the following members:

| Sofia Isabel Henriques Reis Jorge | April 2023 | 31 December 2025 |
As of 31 December, 2024, the Board of Directors, made up of fifteen members, included six executive members: José Armindo Farinha Soares de Pina (chairman), Carlos Alberto Sousa Van Zeller e Silva (vice-chairman), Vítor Miguel Martins Jorge da Silva, Miguel Allegro Garcez Palha de Sousa da Silveira, João Carlos Ribeiro Pereira and Sofia Isabel Henriques Reis Jorge (members).
The Board of Directors also included three independent members: Alberto João Coraceiro de Castro, Maria do Carmo Guedes Antunes de Oliveira and Paula Simões de Figueiredo Pimentel Freixo Matos Chaves.
ALTRI considers that the independence criteria set forth in section 18.1 of the Annex to CMVM Regulation 4/2013, which classifies the directors as independent directors, and the independence criteria set forth in recommendation IV.2.4. of the IPCG's Corporate Governance Code have been met with regard to these three directors.
The other directors, Paulo Jorge dos Santos Fernandes, João Manuel Matos Borges de Oliveira, Domingos José Vieira de Matos, Pedro Miguel Matos Borges de Oliveira, Ana Rebelo Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça and Laurentina da Silva Martins are non-executive directors, not independent.
In 2024, six members of the Board of Directors performed executive duties and were part of the Company's Executive Committee, designated by the Board of Directors, a body that prepared and

approved the Regulations for the Operation of the Executive Committee with the consequent delegation of powers.
The number of executive directors, throughout the year 2024, corresponded to 40% of the members of the Board of Directors, and this number, when compared to the total number of members of the body, is appropriate and balanced in view of the nature and size of the Company.
This conclusion results, in particular, from the consideration of the experience, background, profile and knowledge of the executive directors, as well as the powers that have been delegated by the Board of Directors, including the specific skills of each of the executive directors, considering that this number of members, in light of the risks and requirements inherent to their activity, is sufficient to ensure an effective, efficient and prudent management of the Company.
The activity of the executive directors is carried out in articulation with the work of the other members of ALTRI's Board of Directors (i.e., the non-executive directors), which, also considering their personal profile, career and professional experience, are sufficient in number, appropriate and balanced to the nature and size of the Company.
In fact, ALTRI considers that the number of non-executive directors allows for an effective monitoring, as well as a true supervision and inspection, of the activity carried out by the executives, especially considering that the Company has developed mechanisms to allow the non-executive directors to make independent and informed decisions, namely through:
The management report includes, in the appendices, the "Activity carried out by the non-executive members of the Board of Directors", a description of the activity carried out by the non-executive directors in FY 2024.
The curriculum of the members of the Board of Directors are presented in Appendix I of the Governance Report.

Additionally, there is a Code of Ethics, which is also transversally applicable to all levels of the organization, including members of the corporate bodies.
According to the Code of Ethics, one of ALTRI's values is integrity. Integrity implies total correctness in the relationship with others and with the company, assuming loyalty and transparency in behavior. ALTRI trusts in the integrity of all its employees. Therefore, it does not allow any conflict of interest situations between any Employee or Partner and ALTRI.
A conflict of interest exists when (i) the Employee's or Partner's private interest interferes, or appears to interfere in any way, with the interests of the company as a whole and/or (ii) an Employee or Partner, or close family members or friends, receive an improper personal benefit as a result of that Employee's or Partner's position in the company.
When faced with a potential conflict of interest situation, Employees or Partners should:
At all times, the Employee or Partner must refrain from acting on their own motivations, not giving priority to their own interests or those of third parties, whenever this could jeopardise ALTRI's interests.

In accordance with ALTRI's current governance structure, the Board of Directors is the body responsible for managing the Company's business in pursuit of its corporate purpose, as well as for determining the Group's strategic orientation, always acting in the manner it deems more suitable to defend the Company's interests, focused on permanently creating value for the company, its shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board of Directors is currently composed of fifteen members elected at a General Meeting, one of whom is the chairman, two vice-president and twelve members, nine of whom are non-executive members.
The specialised Committees within the Board of Directors work on the issues under their responsibility with precision and depth, establishing, whenever necessary, direct contacts with the operational teams, and prepare in advance the information that is taken to the Board of Directors, so that the debates in this governing body may achieve conscious and enlightened deliberations.
In the exercise of its functions, the Board of Directors is constantly interacting with the Statutory Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor, thus cooperating with the supervisory body in a regular, transparent and precise manner, in compliance with the corresponding operating regulations and the best corporate governance practices.
There is no limitation to the maximum number of positions that may be accumulated by directors on the management bodies of other companies. Therefore, the members of the Company's Executive Committee are in most cases members of the management bodies of the Group's subsidiaries, ensuring close and permanent monitoring of their respective activities.
ALTRI's Board of Directors encourages all operational divisions and areas to create multidisciplinary teams with a view to developing relevant projects for the Group; this multidisciplinary allows ensuring

that all issues are identified and that the ways of solving these issues are analysed from different perspectives, providing a more cross-cutting insight into the topics under analysis. ALTRI believes that establishing agile and effective communication channels between the Company's divisions, and between these and the operational areas, and between all of these and the boards of directors of the various subsidiaries and of the Company itself is the best way to implement projects, to identify the risks associated with these, to develop the mechanisms necessary to mitigate these risks, from a truly comprehensive perspective analysed from different points of view.
ALTRI believes that an effective flow of information within the organisation is the only way to ensure an adequate flow of information between the multidisciplinary teams and the governing bodies and, consequently, between these and the shareholders, investors, other stakeholders, financial analysts and the market in general.
In compliance with this Group policy, which is perfectly in line with recommendation II.1.1. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, and in compliance with the applicable legal regulations, ALTRI ensures the accurate and timely disclosure of information to the market, through the CMVM's Information Disclosure System (CMVM's IDS), guaranteeing that the information is made available to its shareholders, other stakeholders and the market in general at the same time and with the same level of detail.
In line with the above, ALTRI lists the Company's Committees and/or departments and their powers and attributions:
The Executive Committee is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company, under the terms set forth in the respective delegation of powers, which observes the limits set forth in article 407(4) of the Portuguese Companies Code.
The Executive Commitee manage its activity in accordance with the purposes of the Company and with the values, principles e strategies set forth by the Board of Directors.
The Executive Committee shall regularly and always in an adequate and timely manner provide information concerning the management of the Company and its subsidiaries, to the Board of Directors and the Statutory Audit Board.
The Corporate Governance Committee was created in September 2024 by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the recommendations of the IPCG, thus providing a forum for debate and reflection on the Company's Governance model.
This competence was included in the Strategic, Operational & Governance Monitoring Committee, however dissolved on the same date. It was found that, due to the way it was constituted (comprising the CEO and the five directors holding qualified holdings), it monitored the Company's activities in a way that is already carried out, in greater detail and depth, by the Board of Directors.
Therefore, given that there is a redundancy in the topics addressed by this committee with the topics addressed by the Board of Directors and with the consequent duplication of time spent, without any significant advantages arising from this, the Board of Directors decided to dissolve it, given that the Committee had thus exhausted its usefulness.
The current Corporate Governance Committee's mission is, in particular, to assess and evaluate the corporate governance model, including the presentation of review proposals, assess and monitor the Company's governance practices and assess the level of compliance by the Company with legal and

regulatory standards, as well as recommendations and guidelines issued by the competent authorities, relating to corporate governance.
In 2024, the Corporate Governance Committee reflected on the governance model in a broad sense (which includes the committees created by the Board of Directors in May 2023, after the election of the bodies for the 2023/2025 term by the General Assembly), having reached the following conclusions:
The Ethics Committee is a specialized committee within the Board of Directors, responsible for accompanying the disclosure and compliance with the Group's Code of Ethics, monitoring compliance with and observance of the rules contained therein, in the personal and professional conduct of all its employees with respect for common ethical principles, regardless of their position or function. The mission of this committee includes ensuring the regular operation of mechanisms for reporting irregularities that constitute ethical or legal violations, assessing such reports and forwarding them, as applicable, to the body responsible for the matter in question. This Committee also monitors the implementation of the measures included in the Group's current Equality Plan. The Ethics Committee works in perfect articulation with the Board of Directors, to which it periodically reports on the performance of its activities.
In addition to having non-executive directors in its composition, it is also integrated by the executive Director responsible for the Area of Sustainability, Risk, Communication, and People & Talent, as well as the head of Legal Department, who should assist the activity of this commission. The Ethics Committee also has two members of the statutory audit board.
The Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee is also a specialized committee within the Board of Directors, whose primary mission is to participate in defining and monitoring the Group's sustainability, audit and risk policies and strategies. In addition to having non-executive directors in its composition and the executive director responsible for the sustainability area, it is also integrated by the head of the group's legal direction, whose areas must assist the activity of this committee.
This Committee shall hold at least once a year a joint meeting with the Statutory Audit Board, where it shall establish a cross-cutting dialogue between the Committee and the Statutory Audit Board on the subjects falling within the competences of each of the bodies. At this annual meeting, the Internal Audit

Director is invited to participate, presenting a report to both the Committee and the Statutory Audit Board on the activity developed and the Risk Officer who also presents a report of his activity. This annual meeting continues with the presence of the ROC, which presents the conclusions of the audit work to the Committee and the Statutory Audit Board.
Unlike the other committees, the Remuneration Committee is elected by the General Meeting, in compliance with the provisions of Article 399(1) of the Portuguese Companies Code and the Bylaws of the Company. It is the committee responsible for evaluating performance and approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the other corporate bodies. It is up to this committee, in compliance with the provisions of Article 26-A and following of the Portuguese Securities Code, and recommendation VI.2.2. of the IPCG's Corporate Governance Code, to prepare the Statement on the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the Corporate Bodies, as well as the proposal for approval of this policy, and submit it to the scrutiny of the deliberative body for this matter, which is the General Meeting.
If the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the Corporate Bodies is approved by the General Meeting, it is the responsibility of this committee to fight for its application, monitoring its permanent adequacy to the situation of the Company.
In terms of corporate management, ALTRI highlights the following areas:

Resolutions on structuring matters of the Group's activity are taken by the Board of Directors as a collegial body composed of all its members, executive and non-executive, in the normal performance of their duties. The ALTRI Executive Committee, composed of six directors - CEO, COO, CFO and also by the three directors responsible for Commercial, Forestry and Sustainability, Risk, Communication, People & Talent, focus their activity essentially on the daily management of the business and implementation of the Board of Directors' resolutions.
The six members of the Executive Committee (which are - CEO, COO, CFO, the director responsible for the Forestry area, the director responsible for the Commercial area and the director responsible for the Sustainability, Risk, Communication, People & Talent areas) compose the Board of Directors of the Group's subsidiaries, thus ensuring in-depth knowledge of the business, close to the operations and people, which means that the decisions taken at the level of the Group's holding company, ALTRI, are even more conscious and informed.
ALTRI believes that the deeper the knowledge of the Company's directors about the specifics and subtleties of the business, the better their decisions on strategic lines and, consequently, the more successful the decisions taken by the top management.

The regulations governing the functioning of the Board of Directors are available on the Company's Internet webpage at (www.altri.pt) ("Investors" tab, "Governance" section).
Article 17 of the Company's Articles of Association establishes that the Board of Directors shall meet ordinarily, at least once a quarter, and extraordinarily, whenever convened, verbally or in writing, by its Chairman or at the request of any two directors.
The quorum for any meeting of the Board of Directors requires that the majority of its members be present or duly represented.
In 2024, the Board of Directors held seven meetings with all directors present or represented.
The meetings of the Board of Directors are scheduled in the last meeting of each year for the following year, and prepared in advance, and all the documentation supporting the proposals included in the agenda is made available, ensuring that the conditions are in place for directors to fully exercise their duties and take fully informed decisions.
Similarly, call notices and, subsequently, meeting minutes are made available to the chairman of the Statutory Audit Board, creating a regular flow of information that fosters an active and permanent supervision.
In line with what is stated in section 21 above, the Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for assessing the performance and approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies. This committee is responsible, in compliance with the provisions of Articles 26-A and following of the CVM, and of recommendation VI.2.2. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, for preparing the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy, as well as for preparing a proposal for the approval of said Policy and for submitting it to the General Meeting, which is the deliberating body responsible for deciding on these matters.
Once the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy reflected in said Declaration is approved by the Shareholders at a General Meeting, this committee is responsible for enforcing its application, while ensuring that it is in line with the Company's reality.
At least one member of the Remuneration Committee must attend the Annual General Meetings at when the Declaration on Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is on the Agenda, in order to ensure that any doubts regarding said Declaration that may arise therein are clarified.
The assessment of the performance of executive directors is based on pre- established criteria, based on performance indicators objectively set for each term of office, which are in line with the Company's medium-/long-term performance and business growth strategy.
The remuneration of the executive members of the Board of Directors contains a variable component, which includes a short-term variable premium, and a medium-term variable premium.

The short term variable premium is paid annually and cannot be higher than the annual fixed remuneration.
The Medium Term Variable Premium is configured in the form of Phantom Shares, which is a calculation formula that consists of the establishment, a priori, of a value for ALTRI shares, which will correspond to the value of the closing share price on a given day and assuming an investment of a certain amount in the Company's shares, and may be exercised in full, within a certain period to be agreed upon which shall never be less than three years from the date of attribution, or by the maximum amount of 50% (fifty percent) within 4 (four) years and the remaining amount of 50% (fifty percent) within 5 (five) years, in any case as from the date of attribution, subject to the verification and fulfillment of quantitative performance objectives associated with the Total Share Return, for which reason its payment is not guaranteed.
This formula for calculating the Medium Term Variable Premium in the form of Phantom Shares, by deferring the time of payment by at least 3 (three) years, allows the performance of the executive directors to be aligned with the long term interests of the Company, without transferring ownership of the shares to the executive directors.
i. An internal evaluation process is observed (always based on the criteria of the Remuneration Policy) carried out hierarchically, whereby: the Chairman of the Board of Directors leads the evaluation process in relation to the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the latter leads the evaluation process in relation to the other executive directors, whose reporting is under his responsibility;

ALTRI's directors, in particular the executive directors, are fully committed to their demanding duties. Therefore, the Group's senior managers are very present, being close to their people and their business.
Their professional activities, the names of other companies where they perform management duties and details of other relevant activities carried out by them are presented in Appendix I of the Governance Report.

REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
On December 31, 2024, this body was composed of the following members:
The member of the Statutory Audit Board Jorge Manuel de Sousa Marrão was elected, for the first time, in April 2023, for the term that started in 2023 and will end in 2025.The member of the Statutory Audit Board Pedro Pessanha was elected, for the first time, in April 2014, for the term that started in 2014 and ended in 2016, having been reelected in April 2017 for the three-year period that began in 2017 and ended in 2019, as well as in April 2020 for the three-year term that began in 2020 and ended in 2022, thus being in the exercise of a fourth term, which began in 2023 and will end in 2025. The member Ana Paula dos Santos Silva e Pinho was elected for the first time in April 2020, for the threeyear period that started in 2020 and ended in 2022, having been re-elected for a second term, which began in 2023 and will end in 2025.
The Company considers that the number of members of the Statutory Audit Board is fully aligned with the nature, size, risks and activity of the Company and allows ensuring that its (the Statutory Audit Board members') duties are performed in accordance with the powers and competences assigned to it.
This analysis also took into account the structure of ALTRI and the articulation that exists between the members of this body and the other company bodies, in particular the Statutory Auditor (identified in item 39 below) and the External Auditor (identified in item 42 below).
As a collective body, the Statutory Audit Board's independence depends on the independence of each of its members, which is assessed in accordance with the definition given under the terms of Article 414(5) of the CSC, and any incompatibilities are assessed in accordance with the definition of Article 414-A(1) of the CSC.
With the exception of the member Pedro Nuno Fernandes de Sá Pessanha da Costa, who was reelected for the fourth term (2023-2025) and was no longer independent pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 414 of the CSC), all other members of the Company's Statutory Audit Board thus comply with the incompatibility and independence rules identified above. Each of the members individually signs a declaration for this purpose which is submitted to the Company.
All the members of ALTRI's Statutory Audit Board have the formation, competence and experience that allow them to fully exercise their duties, in line with the provisions of Article 414(4) of the CSC and Article 3(2) of Law 148/2015, of 9 September. The President is duly supported by the other members of the Statutory Audit Board.
The professional qualifications and other activities carried out by the Statutory Audit Board are presented in Appendix I of the Governance Report.
The regulation governing the functioning of the Statutory Audit Board is available on the Company's website (www.altri.pt) ("Investors" tab, "Governance section").

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
In 2024, the Statutory Audit Board held six meetings which were attended by all its members. The minutes of the aforementioned meetings are recorded in the Statutory Audit Board minutes book, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
The members of Statutory Audit Board have undertaken a commitment to the Company, which they have been scrupulously fulfilling, showing an availability that is fully in line with ALTRI's interests. The information about the qualifications, professional experience and other positions held by the members of the Statutory Audit Board is detailed in Appendix I of the Governance Report.
The Statutory Audit Board is responsible for giving prior approval to the provision of services other than audit services by the External Auditor.
As a preliminary remark, we should note that the Board of Directors, when considering the possibility of hiring the External Auditor or the Statutory Auditor to provide additional services, makes sure, before communicating its decision to the Statutory Audit Board, that the External Auditor or the Statutory Auditor or entities within their networks are not hired to provide services that, pursuant to Commission Recommendation C(2002) 1873 of 16 May, could compromise their independence.
Once the Board of Directors concludes that the conditions are in place and puts forward the subject to the Statutory Audit Board, the Statutory Audit Board carries out an in-depth analysis of the additional services to be provided by the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor, taking a favourable decision if the analysis shows that: (i) hiring the additional services does not compromise the External Auditor's independence; (ii) there is a healthy balance between the regular audit services and the additional services whose provision is under analysis and that (iii) the provision of the additional services which are being proposed is not prohibited pursuant to Article 37(2) of Law no 140/2015, of 7 September. In this analysis, the Statutory Audit Board also ascertains whether (iv) the additional services will be provided in compliance with the quality standards in force in the Group, while ensuring that, should these services be provided, they do not compromise the independence required for the performance of audit duties.
In this regard, we should note that Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., prior to accepting the award of the services, also carries out, in compliance with its internal policies, a strict assessment to make sure that the services it proposes to provide do not compromise, under any circumstances, the independence criteria it undertook to meet upon accepting the election to perform its duties.
Therefore, the Company considers that a demanding degree of control is ensured in the verification of the commitment of the independence criteria when deciding to contract additional services from the External Auditor.
We should also note that the Statutory Audit Board receives, every year, the declaration of independence of the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor, which describes the services that were provided by them and by other entities within their network, the fees that were paid, possible threats to their independence and safeguard measures to deal with them.

REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Any potential threats to the independence of the External Auditor, as well as the respective safeguard measures are assessed and discussed in an open and transparent manner between the Statutory Audit Board and the External Auditor.
The Statutory Audit Board is responsible for supervising the Company, fulfilling the duties provided for in Article 420 of the CSC and its Regulations (referred to in item 34 of this report and accessible on the Company's website at https://altri.pt/pt/investidores/governance), highlighting the following statutory and legally attributed competencies:
The Statutory Audit Board represents the Company before the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor being responsible, in particular, for proposing the entity which should provide said services and its remuneration, while ensuring that the Group has the appropriate conditions in place to enable said services to be provided.
The Statutory Audit Board is the first recipient of the reports issued by the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor, as well as the Group's interface in its relationships with those entities, and it is also responsible for deciding on relevant projects and work plans and on the adequacy of the resources allocated to the implementation of these projects.
The Statutory Audit Board is therefore responsible for preparing, every year, a report on its supervisory activity and giving an opinion on the report, accounts and proposals presented by the management, as well as for supervising the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system.
The Statutory Audit Board, in coordination with the Board of Directors, regularly analyses and supervises the preparation and disclosure of financial information, providing all the necessary support, based on the assumption, given the nature of the Company, that no data must be disclosed in any way that may lead to an unauthorised and untimely access to relevant information by third parties.
In addition, the supervisory body is called upon to intervene in order to issue an opinion whenever there is a transaction between ALTRI directors and the Company itself or between ALTRI and companies in a control or group relationship, where one of the parties is a director, pursuant to Article 397 of the CSC.

The Statutory Audit Board will be called upon to give its opinion regardless of the materiality of the operation in question.
On the other hand, as part of the Company's supervisory body and within the scope of the internal audit, the External Auditor analyses (i) the functioning of internal control mechanisms, reporting any weaknesses that may be identified; (ii) checks whether the main elements of the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the Company regarding the process of disclosure of financial information are presented and disclosed in the annual information on Corporate Governance and (iii) issues a legal certification of accounts and Audit Report, which certifies that the report on the corporate governance structure and practices includes the elements referred to in Article 66-B of the CSC in its current wording or, if that is not the case, ensuring that such information is included in another report that is also provided to the shareholders, that the provisions of Article 29-H of the CVM are complied with, that it conforms to the structure in CMVM Regulation number 4/2013, and that it includes a declaration of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG.
In FY 2024, the Statutory Auditor monitored the development of the Company's activities and carried out the examinations and checks deemed necessary for the legal review and certification of accounts, in interaction with the Statutory Audit Board and always relying on the cooperation of the Board of Directors, which provided all information that was requested as quickly as possible.
In line with the above, the Statutory Auditor gave its opinion on the activity carried out in 2024, and this information was included in its annual audit report, which will be submitted to the Shareholders for approval at the Annual General Meeting.
The supervisory body is responsible for monitoring ALTRI and its subsidiaries and ensuring that they comply with the legislation applicable to their areas of business, in order to carry out a precise and careful analysis of the levels of compliance within the Group. This analysis allowed concluding that the Group, in the course of its activity, has been achieving high levels of compliance, which are perfectly in line with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
In 2024, for the three-year term 2023-2025, ALTRI's Statutory Auditor is Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., represented by Pedro Miguel Borges Marques.
Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A. has been responsible for auditing the accounts of the Company and the Group companies since 2017, having been elected for its first term, upon proposal of the Statutory Audit Board, at the General Meeting held on April 26, 2017 until 2019, for a second annual term in April 2020, for a third annual term in April 2021, for a fourth annual term in April 2022 and for a fifth term in April 2023 for the three-year term 2023-2025.
The statutory auditor is, simultaneously, the Company's External Auditor as detailed below.

The Company's External Auditor, appointed pursuant and for the purposes of Article 8 of the CVM, is Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., represented by Pedro Miguel Borges Marques, registered at the CMVM under no. 1801.
The External Auditor was elected for for the first time in 2017, served his fourth term in 2022 (one of three years and three of one year) and currently serves the fifth term of three years.
The External Auditor was represented by his partner Rui Manuel da Cunha Vieira, during the entire first four terms and in the first year of the fifth term, having been elected for the first time in 2017, so that the maximum period provided for in article 54, § 2, of the OROC Statute elapsed. Thus, at the General Meeting held on May 3, 2024, partner Pedro Miguel Borges Marques was appointed for the current term, corresponding to the three-year period 2023-2025, to represent the External Auditor.
With regard to the rotation of the External Auditor, the Company had not established, until the date of entry into force of the new Statute of the Institute of Statutory Auditors, approved by Law no. 140/2015, of 7 September, a policy on the rotation of the External Auditor based on a predetermined number of terms, taking into account, in particular, the fact that such a rotation policy is not common or standard practice and that, as part of the continuous monitoring of the adequacy of the model in place, it never identified situations of loss of independence or any other situations that would make it advisable to adopt a formal policy requiring such rotation.
The entry into force of the new Statute of the Institute of Statutory Auditors on 1 January 2016 laid down a new scheme applicable to the rotation of statutory auditors for companies whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market, such as our Company. For this reason, in 2016, the Statutory Audit Board launched a selection process with the purpose of electing a new Statutory Auditor that, in compliance with all the legal requirements in terms of technical competence and independence, could be elected at an Annual General Meeting, an election that occurred at the Annual General Meeting held in 2017.
In this context, the Company does not have a formal internal policy providing for the rotation of the External Auditor, considering it unnecessary, since it fully complies with all legal requirements in this matter.
The Statutory Audit Board, in the exercise of its duties, monitors the performance of the External Auditor throughout the year as well as its independence. In addition, the Statutory Audit Board promotes, where necessary or appropriate depending on the Company's activities or legal or market requirements, a reflection on the adequacy of the External Auditor to the level required for the performance of its duties.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT PART I - INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE, ORGANISATION AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
During the financial year 2024, the External Auditor provided separate audit services. In particular, in the audit, reliability assurance services were provided, namely, the issuing of reports to confirm payment requests within the framework of the provisions set out in the incentive contract, the provision of services for the issuance of Annual Tire Value Declarations Report, the issuance of Verification Report of the non-financial information presented in the Management Report, and the issuance of Green Bond Allocation and Impact Report. These services were approved by the Statutory Audit Board, which evaluated and concluded that the performance of such services did not affect the independence of the External Auditor, an element that essential for considering the provision of these services. Safeguarding this first criterion, the Statutory Audit Board decided to authorize them because their performance corresponds to the interest of the Society, given the experience, specialization and quality of the provider in the matters under consideration, the recognized quality of services and knowledge of the different areas of the Company and its Group.

Statutory amendments follow the applicable legal provisions, in particular of the Portuguese Companies Act, which require a majority of two-thirds of the issued votes for the adoption of such a resolution.
The Statutory Audit Board is the body to which any reports of irregularities by any employee, partner, supplier or any other stakeholder should be addressed in compliance with the provisions of paragraph j) of number 1 of article 420 of the CSC.
The Statutory Audit Board establishes perfect articulation with the Ethics Commission in relation to all matters that requires the latter's intervention and action. Incidentally, as already explained in this report, there are two members of the Statutory Audit Board who are permanent members of the Ethics Committee so in this way, the immediate sharing of information of any issues related to complaints of irregularities or other of which the Statutory Audit Board should be aware is ensured.
This procedure is set out in ALTRI Code of Ethics, which also states that, if any complaint is sent to the Company's Ethics Committee, the latter shall forward it to the Statutory Audit Board if the matter in question is one that, by law, should be solved by this body.
The ALTRI Group has a specific mechanism for reporting irregular situations which, in accordance with the purposes of Recommendation number II.2.4 of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, are ethical or legal violations with a significant impact on the areas of accounting, the fight against corruption and banking and financial crime (Whistleblowing), which protects the confidentiality of the information that is provided and the identity of the whistle-blower, where requested.
If the Board of Director receives a request for clarification or an expression of concern regarding the Whistleblowing system, it will be immediately forwarded to the Statutory Audit Board.
The report to the Statutory Audit Board of any irregularity or indication of irregularity should be made through the whistleblowing channel that is available via email, which can be sent to the following address: [email protected].
If anyone is aware of any situation which may constitute a violation or suspected violation of the principles established by the Code of Ethics or any regulation which complements it, they should immediately report this situation using the reporting channel available at www.altri.pt ([email protected]).
We should note that no irregular situations were reported to the Company's Statutory Audit Board in 2024.

Risk management is something that is part of the daily management of the organization, and the risk management process has become increasingly important, with the creation of a specific direction dedicated exclusively to this area - the Risk Management Direction.
Risk management, as the cornerstone of the principles of good corporate governance, is an area regarded as crucial by ALTRI, which, through the Risk Management Direction, promotes the permanent awareness of all its employees across all the levels of the organisation, instilling such responsibility across all decision-making processes.
Risk management is carried out based on a rationale of value creation, with a clear identification of the situations that may threaten the company's business goals.
As previously indicated, the risks are prioritized according to a relevance matrix, resulting from the evaluation of the magnitude of the impact and probability of occurrence.
The objective of the Risk Management Department is to support the organization in carrying out its activities, ensuring consistent and transversal practices in the operationalization of the risk policy, approved by the Board of Directors.
Risk management is based on the following methodology, which includes several steps:
The Board of Directors is responsible for deciding the level of exposure assumed by the Group in its different activities and, without prejudice to the delegation of functions and responsibilities, defining global risk limits (risk appetite), ensuring that risk management policies and procedures are followed.
In monitoring the risk management process, the Board of Directors, with the support of the Risk Management Direction, as the body responsible for ALTRI's strategy, has the following set of objectives and responsibilities:

Subsidiaries manage risks within the criteria and powers that have been established.
The Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee follow up the work developed by the Risk Management Direction and the the Statutory Audit Board, in accordance with its competencies, is permanently monitoring and supervising the group's performance in this matter.
Based on this methodology, ALTRI has come to the conclusion that it has managed to ensure greater awareness and thoughtfulness in decision making across all levels of the organisation, given the inherent responsibility of each internal player, which contributes to people feeling empowered and truly involved as active participants in the Company's performance.
ALTRI, as it has been repeatedly mentioned throughout this report, is constantly monitoring the adequacy of its model also as part of the area of risk management, and has concluded that, to date, it has proved perfectly suitable to its organisational structure.
The ALTRI Group's Internal Audit Direction continued to provide its support to the Company during the fiscal year 2024. This department supports ALTRI to achieve its objectives through a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, internal controls and governance processes.
The Internal Audit of the ALTRI Group has as main objectives (i) to evaluate the exposure to risks of business processes and information systems, (ii) to propose improvements to internal controls, aiming at a more effective management of risks and (iii) to stimulate the implementation of actions that bring the risk level closer to those intended by the Management.
Furthermore, the mission of the Altri Compliance Direction is to assume the responsibilities provided for in current legislation and regulations, in order to ensure that management and executive bodies, as well as all employees, are aware of the applicable legal and regulatory rules, including codes, regulations and policies, both internal and external, relevant to the various areas of activity of the ALTRI Group, with a view to mitigating financial, economic, legal and reputational risks.
The Risk Management Direction whose mission is to ensure the maintenance of the risk management system across the Group, performing the processes defined to identify, analyse, assess, mitigate and monitor the Group's main risks, whether financial risks, operational risks, strategic or compliance risks, being also the point of contact with business units supporting and monitoring activities related to risk management.

The Risk Management Direction reports hierarchically to the Executive Committee of ALTRI Group, namely to the Director of Sustainability, Risk, Communication, People and Talent, articulating its activity, in particular, with the Internal Audit Department and the Compliance Department.
The Statutory Audit Board is responsible for assessing the risk management mechanisms, and the control procedures deemed suitable for mitigation are reported to this body. It is therefore the responsibility of this body to supervise the measures taken by the Company regarding these matters and to periodically check whether the risks effectively incurred by the Company are consistent with what has been outlined by the Board of Directors.
The External Auditor, in the exercise of its duties, checks the adequacy of the mechanisms and procedures in question, reporting its findings to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring said mechanisms and procedures.
The Internal Audit department reports hierarchically to the Executive Committee of ALTRI Group, namely to the Chief Executive Officer. Functionally it reports to the Statutory Audit Board, as a supervisory body and, complementarily to the Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee, as a specialized committee that supports the Board of Directors in certain matters, including those related to the Internal Audit functions.
The Statutory Audit Board and the Sustainability, Audit & Risk Committee monitors the Internal Audit activity through periodic reports, proposing any adjustments they considers necessary.
ALTRI has a Risk Management Direction which aims to support the organization in the execution of its activities, ensuring consistent and transversal practices in the operationalization of the risk policy, approved by the Board of Directors.
The mission of the Risk Management Direction is to ensure the maintenance of the Group's transversal risk management system, executing the processes defined to identify, analise, evaluate, mitigate and monitor the Group's main risks, whether financial, operational, strategic or compliance risks. It will also be the point of contact with the business units, supporting them and monitoring the activities related to risk management.
At the same time, it should be noted that all departments and operational units are particularly attentive to risk issues.
The Board of Directors considers that the Group is exposed to the normal risks arising from its activity, namely at the level of its operating units.

The following risks stand out, which are detailed and analysed in the Annex to the Consolidated Financial Statements:
1.6 risk related to sustainability, ESG ("Environmental, Social and Governance") and climate change;
In addition to the risks identified above, it is important to bear in mind that the Group is also exposed to legal, tax and regulatory risks.
In relation to these specific risks, ALTRI, as well as its business, has permanent legal, tax and regulatory advice, which works in conjunction with the business areas, ensuring, in a preventive manner, the protection of the Group's interests in the scrupulous fulfilment of its obligations, legal provisions applicable to the Company's business areas.
This consultancy is also supported at national and international level by external service providers that ALTRI hires from firms of recognized reputation and in accordance with high criteria of competence, rigor and professionalism.
However, ALTRI and its subsidiaries may be affected, like any other entities, by legislative changes that have occurred both in Portugal, in the European Union or in other countries where it develops its commercial activity. ALTRI does not, of course, control such changes which, if they occur, could have an adverse impact on the Group's business and could, consequently, impair or impede the achievement of strategic objectives. ALTRI's policy in this area is guided by delegating to the Legal Department, with the technical support of the operational units, the permanent monitoring of legislative changes and new legal acts, being informed on this matter and able to permanently respond to the challenges that the materialization of legal, fiscal and regulatory measures can cause.

As described in section 52, the Board of Directors is the body responsible for outlining the Group's general strategic policies, including the risk management policy, being duly supported by the Executive Committee, which ensures, not only a constant monitoring, but also that any situations that are detected are reported to the Board of Directors, in order to guarantee a permanent and effective risk control.
The process of identification and assessment, monitoring, control and risk management at ALTRI, which is ensured by the Risk Management Direction works as follows:
The risks faced by the Group in the normal performance of its activity are identified. There is an assessment of all the material risks with an impact on the Group's financial performance and value. Then there is a study to compare the value at risk with the costs of the hedging instruments, if any, and, consequently, the evolution of the risks that are identified and the hedging instruments is monitored according to the following methodology:
The Company has been implementing additional risk management strategies essentially aimed at ensuring that the control systems and procedures, as well as the policies that are adopted allow meeting the management bodies', the shareholders' and other stakeholders' expectations.
We highlight the following strategies:
At the end of this process, the Board of Directors, as an executive body, is responsible for taking the necessary decisions, always acting in its capacity as an executive body to defend the Company's and its Shareholders' interests.
As regards the fulfilment of the environmental and social objectives outlined by ALTRI, it should be noted that in February 2023 two policies were developed and implemented and, in 2024, the Group's two policies on this matter continued to be implemented: (i) the Human Rights Policy, which aims to ensure respect for human and labour rights by the entire Altri Group by formalising the commitments it has made in the meantime to safeguard human dignity, non-discrimination, equal rights, security and well-being, education, personal and professional development, as well as freedom of conscience, religion, organisation, association, opinion and expression, and (ii) the Policy of Participation in the

Communities, which aims to promote solutions that respond to the challenges that arise in the social, environmental and corporate governance, seeking to align decision-making and the pursuit of the Altri Group's activity with internationally defined sustainability principles.
The Human Rights Policy and the Community Participation Policy are available for consultation at www.altri.pt ("Investors" tab, "Governance" section), which should be complemented with the Sustainability Policy and the Risk Management Policy, also available at www.altri.pt ("Investors" tab, "Governance" section).
There are very few ALTRI employees involved in the process of disclosing financial information.
All those involved in the financial analysis of the Company are considered to have access to privileged information and are formally notified of the content of their obligations, as well as of the sanctions arising from the misuse of such information.
The internal rules applicable to the disclosure of financial information are aimed at ensuring its timely disclosure and preventing asymmetric access to information by the market.
The internal control system in the areas of accounting and preparation and disclosure of financial information is based on the following key principles:

Directors and supervised by the Statutory Audit Board. These bodies review the Company's consolidated financial statements on a quarterly basis.
Regarding risk factors that may have a material impact on accounting and financial reporting, we highlight the use of accounting estimates based on the best information available when the financial statements are being prepared, as well as on the knowledge and experience obtained in past and/or present events. We also highlight balances and transactions with related parties: in the ALTRI Group, balances and transactions with related entities refer essentially to the operating activities currently developed by the Group companies, as well as to borrowing and lending operations remunerated at market rates.
The Executive Committee, in the first place, and the Board of Directors, in the second place, regularly analyzes and supervises the preparation and disclosure of financial information, in articulation with the Statutory Audit Board, in order to prevent undue and untimely access by third parties to relevant information.
In compliance with the applicable legal provisions, as well as with the regulations of the CMVM on this matter, ALTRI ensures that all the information related to the business of the group's companies that fits into the concept of privileged information is disclosed to its shareholders and to the market in general at first hand. Therefore, ALTRI has been ensuring that information is provided to the shareholders and the market in general in a continuous and timely manner, precisely when its privileged nature becomes clear.
The Company has an Investor Support Office with a Representative for Market Relations and a person responsible for Investor Relations.
Investors can send their requests for information to the following addresses: Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818 4100-320 Porto Phone: + 351 22 834 65 02 Fax: + 351 22 834 65 03 Email: [email protected]
ALTRI provides financial information about its separate and consolidated activity, as well as about its subsidiaries on its Internet webpage (www.altri.pt). This website is also used by the company to publish press releases that had previously been disclosed via the CMVM's Information Disclosure System and possibly made available to the press at a later stage, indicating any relevant facts occurring as part of the company's activities. The Group's financial statements for the most recent financial years are also available on this page. Most of the information is made available by the Company in Portuguese and English.
The functions of Group's market liaison are performed by Raquel Rocha Carvalho and the investors relations functions are performed by Rui Cesário Pereira.

Whenever necessary, the market liaison officer is responsible for providing all the relevant information about key events and facts deemed materially relevant, for the disclosure of quarterly results and for replying to requests for clarification from investors or the general public regarding the financial information that has been made publicly available. All the requests for information sent by investors are analysed and replied within five business days.

REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies on behalf of the shareholders, in accordance with the statement on the remuneration policy approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting.
Currently, ALTRI has a Remuneration Committee elected at a general shareholder meeting for a threeyear term, starting in 2023 and ending in 2025, which is composed as follows:
All the members of the Remuneration Committee are independent from the members of the Board of Directors and from any other interest groups.
With regard to the identification of natural or legal persons hired to provide support to this Committee, we should note that their responsibilities include the autonomy to, using the Company's budget and in compliance with criteria of reasonableness in this matter, hire external service providers which can independently carry out assessments, studies and prepare reports which may help that committee to fully perform its duties, as better explained in section 68 below.
This committee should rely on benchmarking studies on remuneration policies, ensuring that the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is in line with the best practices in use in companies of similar relevance and size.
In 2024, this committee did not consider it necessary to hire any persons or entities to support its decision-making.
The experience and professional qualifications of the members of the Remuneration Committee are reflected in the curricula available on the Company's website at www.altri.pt, "Investors" tab, "Investors / General meeting /2023/ Annex: Résumés", which were provided as part of their election at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and remain available in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
ALTRI considers that the professional experience and career of the members of the Remuneration Committee are fully suited to the duties that have been assigned to them, enabling them to perform them with the required precision and efficiency. Without prejudice to the qualifications of the other members, we should point out João da Silva Natária, due to his extensive experience and specific knowledge in the area of remuneration assessment and policy.

Furthermore, and in addition to what has already been mentioned in section 67 above, where necessary, the committee turns to specialised internal or external resources to support its decisions.
In these situations, the Remuneration Committee freely decides to hire, on behalf of ALTRI, the consultancy services deemed necessary or convenient, making sure that the services are provided independently and that the providers in question are not hired to provide any other services to ALTRI or its subsidiaries without the express authorisation of the Remuneration Committee.
As provided for in Article 26-B of the Portuguese Securities Code, a Declaration on the Management and Supervisory Body Remuneration Policy is submitted to the general meeting for examination.
According to Law No. 50/2020 of August 25 and the Recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Institute 2018 (and revised in 2023), the annual approval of the Remuneration Policy for the Management and Supervisory bodies is no longer mandatory, and will only take place during the term of office if the Issuer so wishes or if it intends to propose for the shareholders' consideration any changes to the policy in force.
The Remuneration and Compensation Policy applicable to ALTRI's governing bodies, approved at the General Meeting held on April 28, 2023, in force during the three-year term 2023-2025, is in line with the following principles:
ALTRI's Corporate Bodies Remuneration Policy is based on the assumption that competence, dedication, availability and performance are the determining elements of good performance, and that only with good performance is it possible to ensure the necessary alignment with the company's interests and its shareholders.
In view of the Company's interest, culture and long-term strategy, ALTRI's Corporate Bodies Remuneration Policy aims, as established in article 26-C(1) of the CVM, to "contribute to the company's corporate strategy, its long-term interests and its sustainability".
In particular, the Remuneration Policy aims to:
This Policy is based on criteria aimed at the sustainability of the Company, is aligned with comparable benchmarking and, complying with legal requirements, is based on the following vectors:

The functions performed and the responsibilities assumed by each member are, necessarily, taken into account in the definition of remuneration. Not all members are in the same position, which imposes a carefully case-by-case definition. In assessing the level of responsibility, the time of dedication, the requirement imposed by the areas under their supervision and the functions performed in the subsidiaries must be considered.
The definition of remuneration must be compatible with the size and economic capacity of the Company, while ensuring adequate and fair remuneration.
The observance of market rules, through a comparative exercise ("benchmark"), is essential to pay adequately and competitively, taking into account the practice of the reference market (nationally and internationally), the activity developed and the results obtained.
The definition of compensation should be based on performance evaluation criteria and objectives of financial and non-financial nature, aligned with the Company's business strategy and that ensure the effective long-term sustainability of the Company.
The objectives associated with setting remuneration should be linked to the Company's performance on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) indicators, reflecting the Company's commitment to sustainable development, particularly in the area of environmental sustainability, as well as ongoing compliance with the Company's values and ethical principles, which are a cornerstone of the way it structures itself and relates to all stakeholders.
The defined remuneration must take into consideration the employment and remuneration conditions of the Company's employees, which is achieved through a benchmarking exercise with the reference market (at national and international level), with reference to equivalent functions, in order to ensure internal equity and a high competitive level.
ALTRI Remuneration Committee believes that these principles are in line with the legislative and recommendatory framework in force, and also reflect the Company's vision on this matter.
Additionally, ALTRI Remuneration Committee has taken into consideration the following: at a meeting of the ALTRI Board of Directors held on 5 June 2023, the following Committees were set up for the current three-year term (2023/2025):

During 2024, at a meeting of the ALTRI Board of Directors, held on September 19, 2024, the Strategic, Operational & Governance Monitoring Committee was dissolved and the following Committee was established for the current term (three-year period 2023/2025):
► Corporate Governance Committee, composed of Directors Alberto Castro (President), Paulo Fernandes, João Borges de Oliveira, Maria do Carmo Oliveira and Paula Pimentel.
The ALTRI's Remuneration Committee, in line with the Company's organizational model and the principles described above, took into account the following measures:

b) variable component, which includes a short-term variable premium and a medium-term variable premium.
The short term variable premium is paid annually and cannot be higher than the annual fixed remuneration.
The Medium Term Variable Premium is configured in the form of Phantom Shares, which is a calculation formula that consists of the establishment, a priori, of a value for ALTRI shares, which will correspond to the value of the closing share price on a given day and assuming an investment of a certain amount in the Company's shares, and may be exercised in full, within a certain period to be agreed upon which shall never be less than three years from the date of attribution, or by the maximum amount of 50% (fifty percent) within 4 (four) years and the remaining amount of 50% (fifty percent) within 5 (five) years, in any case as from the date of attribution, subject to the verification and fulfillment of quantitative performance objectives associated with the Total Share Return, for which reason its payment is not guaranteed.
This formula for calculating the Medium Term Variable Premium in the form of Phantom Shares, by deferring the time of payment by at least 3 (three) years, allows the performance of the executive directors to be aligned with the long term interests of the Company, without transferring ownership of the shares to the executive directors.
In accordance with the decision of the Remuneration Committee to implement the Phantom Shares regime, it established as a limit to the financial year and payment the equivalent of 150% of the sum of all the fixed and annual remuneration of the beneficiary received between the reference date of the allocation and the date of the financial year.

Thus, and based on the measures listed above, and the ALTRI Remuneration Committee's understanding, the remuneration of executive directors (and, well, non-executive directors) is adequate and, as established in article 26.- C, no. 1, of the CVM, "contributes to the company's corporate strategy, to its long-term interests and to its sustainability.".

The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board shall be based on fixed annual amounts considered appropriate for the function.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting shall be exclusively fixed and shall respect market practices.
The Statutory Auditor shall receive a fixed remuneration that is appropriate for the function benchmarked against the market, under the supervision of the Supervisory Board.
The remuneration will be established in the respective service agreement to be entered into for this purpose, under the supervision of the Supervisory Board.
There are no supplementary pension or early retirement schemes in place at the present date.
The Remuneration Committee shall be responsible for identifying and resolving any situations of conflict of interest that may be related to the Remuneration Policy and any of the persons or entities covered by it. A conflict of interest is considered to exist whenever: (i) the applicable law and regulations so determine, as well as when the private interest of any member of a corporate body interferes, in any way, with this Remuneration Policy and/or when (ii) the performance of the duties of any member of a corporate body may contradict or negatively impact the criteria for setting the remuneration of such member or of the other members of this corporate body.
Any situation of conflict of interest that is identified by the Remuneration Committee and that it cannot resolve within a reasonable time considering the circumstances, shall be submitted to the appreciation and decision of the General Meeting of the Company, after consultation with the Ethics Committee of the Company.
This policy applies not only to remuneration paid directly by ALTRI, but also to all remuneration that is paid by companies directly or indirectly controlled by ALTRI, pursuant to Article 21 of the Securities Code, to members of ALTRI's Governing Bodies.
Approval: The Company's Remuneration Policy is prepared by the Remuneration Committee and submitted to the General Meeting for approval.
Amendment: Any amendment to the Remuneration Policy must always be proposed by the Remuneration Committee to the General Meeting of the Company for approval. Any corporate body may request to the Remuneration Committee an amendment to the Remuneration Policy, and should submit a written request, duly substantiated. The Remuneration Committee will assess the relevance and adequacy of such request, and shall submit a written response, also duly substantiated, on the conclusions of its analysis and on the procedures to be adopted.

Review: The Remuneration Committee reviews the Remuneration Policy on a three-yearly basis at the end of each term of office, making any changes it deems appropriate in the light of best governance practices, the objectives underlying the remuneration of the members of the Company's governing bodies, the recommendations of the entities with powers in this area, with a view to adapting the policy to best market practices and the sustainable development objectives of the Company.
Procedure: Amendments and revisions to the Remuneration Policy should always be contained in a proposal prepared by the Remuneration Committee and submitted to the General Meeting, in which the reasons for such proposal should be explained and the proposed changes clearly identified. The amended or revised Remuneration Policy will come into force on the first working day following its approval by the General Meeting, and the consolidated version of the Remuneration Policy should be published as required by law.
The Remuneration Policy is in force for periods of three years, coinciding with the Company's mandates, and comes into force on the first working day following its approval by the General Meeting.
The remuneration policy for executive directors aims at ensuring an appropriate and precise consideration for the performance and contribution of each of the directors to the organisation's success, aligning the interests of the executive directors with those of the shareholders and the Company. In addition, the remuneration policy provides for a medium-term variable component, indexed to the Company's performance, intended to better align the interests of the executive directors with those of the Shareholders and with the long-term interests of the Company. This remuneration assumes the configuration of Phantom Shares in the terms already explained.
Proposals for the remuneration of executive directors are prepared taking into account: (i) the duties performed in ALTRI and in its subsidiaries; (ii) the responsibility and added value of the individual's performance; (iii) the knowledge and experience acquired in the position held; (iv) the Company's economic situation; (v) the remuneration earned in companies operating in the same sector and in other companies listed in Euronext Lisbon. Regarding the latter, the Remuneration Committee considers, within the limits of the available information, all the Portuguese companies with a similar size, namely the ones listed in Euronext Lisbon, and companies operating in international markets whose characteristics are similar to ALTRI's.
In compliance with Article 26-G(2)(c) of the Portuguese Securities Code, the annual variation in the remuneration of the directors, the Company's performance and the average remuneration of full-time equivalent employees of the Company, excluding members of the board of directors and supervisory body, during the last five fiscal years, is presented as follows:

(2) A review of the calculation method was carried out and the previous years were revised accordingly
(3) The variations shown arise from the fact that the components of remuneration in the reference years are different.
(4) The variations shown are due to the fact that there was a review of the Annual Fixed Remuneration

The remuneration policy, as detailed in section 69 above, was approved at the General Meeting held on April 28, 2023 and includes a performance-based variable component.
There are no mechanisms to prevent executive directors from entering into contracts that call into question the rationale underlying the variable remuneration. However, the Remuneration Committee takes these factors into account in the criteria for calculating the variable remuneration.
The Company has not entered into any contracts with members of the Board of Directors that mitigate the residual risk in the variability of the remuneration, nor is it aware of the existence of similar contracts entered with third parties.
The variable component of executive directors' remuneration is partially deferred. This deferral results from the fact that there is one part of the variable component that has a medium-term nature, being configured in the form of Phantom Shares, which only allows the exercise and its receipt by the beneficiary after a minimum of 3 years from the award.
There is no provision for variable remuneration for the allocation of shares, without prejudice to the Phantom Shares regime that appears in ALTRI's Remuneration Policy approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and referred to in paragraph 69.
There is no provision for variable remuneration where option rights are allocated, without prejudice to the Phantom Shares scheme in the ALTRI Remuneration Policy adopted at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and referred to in paragraph 69.
ALTRI has no annual bonus schemes or non-financial benefits other than the variable remuneration describe above.
ALTRI has no complementary pension or early retirement schemes for members of management and supervisory bodies.
In this regard, we should note that the director Laurentina Martins receives a pension assigned to her when she left her position in the subsidiary Caima, S.A. (formerly Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A.) in the standard terms in force in that Company's Pension Plan. She left the company on September 30, 2012.
So, we should clarify that the pension she receives is no more than a right acquired as a result of the employment relationship established with said subsidiary and it is not related to the managerial duties she performs at ALTRI; i.e., should she terminate her service at ALTRI, whatever the reason for such termination, the right to receive said pension would always be ensured.

In this regard, we should note that, in 2024, the director in question, in compliance with the rules inherent to the plan, made no contributions to the aforementioned fund; however, she received an amount of 33,705 Euros relating to her retirement pension.
For more detailed information about the Pension Plan referred herein, please read note 29 of the notes to the consolidated statements on December 31, 2024.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 26-G(2)(a) of the Portuguese Securities Code, it should be clarified that only non-executive directors are remunerated at ALTRI. The executive directors are remunerated by the subsidiaries, namely Celbi, Altri Florestal and Altri Sales.
The Remuneration Committee decided in 2024 to keep the remuneration of non-executive directors unchanged, except for independent non-executive directors and the director Laurentina Martins, in relation to whom updates were deliberated to the remuneration that had remained without update since the previous term.
Therefore, with regard to remuneration paid directly by the Company during the 2024 financial year to the above-mentioned non-executive directors, it amounted to 1,935,270 Euros, divided as follows: Paulo Fernandes - 490,310 Euros; João Borges de Oliveira - 490,310 Euros; Domingos Matos - 282,500 Euros; Pedro Borges de Oliveira - 282,500 Euros; Ana Mendonça - 109,900 Euros; Alberto Castro - 88,500 Euros; Laurentina Martins - 63,750 Euros; Maria do Carmo Oliveira - 63,750 Euros; Paula Pimentel - 63,750 Euros.
To the extent that the Company remunerates only non-executive directors, no variable remuneration is applicable, and therefore, as far as these are concerned, the reference to the proportion between fixed and variable remuneration as required by Article 26-G(2)(a) is not applicable.
In 2024, the Company's Remuneration Committee, considering that:

► considering that business prospects in 2024 have been normalized;
considered it pertinent and appropriate to review the annual fixed remuneration of executive directors, similar to what it did for independent non-executive directors and the director Laurentina Martins.
In relation to the medium-term variable bonus for executive directors, configured in the form of Phantom Shares, as set out in the approved and current Corporate Bodies Remuneration Policy, it is defined at ALTRI level by its Remuneration Committee, with reference to the creation of value for ALTRI shareholders, although its payment may be made in whole or in part by the relevant subsidiaries of ALTRI where the same Directors also perform functions. This variable remuneration option, reflecting the shareholder return over an extended period within the administrators' sphere, fully fulfills the objective proposed by medium-term variable remuneration of promoting the alignment of interests between administrators and the Company.
In 2024, the right was exercised in relation to a large part of the Phantom Shares that had been attributed by the Remuneration Committee in reference to the 2020-2022 term and which were pending. Once the necessary period had elapsed and the other conditions on which its exercise depended had been met, under the terms verified by the Remuneration Committee, the payments were made.
The Phantom Shares in respect of which the executive directors exercised their rights during the financial year were as follows:

The Phantom Shares relating to the 2023-2025 term were, however, attributed to the executive directors by the Remuneration Committee, with the number of shares and their respective overall value resulting from the consideration of the objectives of the remuneration system, the Company's situation, its strategy and other criteria defined in the respective regulations, in particular those related to seniority, responsibility and assessment of the beneficiaries. The future payment of the value of the appreciation of these Phantom Shares is not guaranteed, being specifically dependent on the lapse of the term and their effective appreciation.
The Phantom Shares allocated for the current term, all with April 28, 2023 as the reference date for term and listing purposes, were as follows: José Soares de Pina - 213,219 Phantom Shares, Carlos Van Zeller - 127,931 Phantom Shares, Miguel Silva - 63,965 Phantom Shares, Miguel Silveira - 63,965 Phantom Shares, João Carlos Ribeiro Pereira - 63,965 Phantom Shares, Sofia Reis Jorge - 63,965 Phantom Shares.
No remunerations in the form of profit-sharing or bonuses were paid in the financial year under analysis.
In the 2024 financial year, there was no cessation of the exercise of functions.

Ø Recommendation II.2.5. The companies have specialised committees for matters of corporate governance, remuneration, appointments of members of the corporate bodies and performance assessment, separately or cumulatively. If the Remuneration Committee provided for in Article 399 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code has been set up, the present Recommendation can be complied with by assigning to said committee, if not prohibited by law, powers in the above matters.
At ALTRI it is an assignment of the Corporate Governance Committee to reflect on corporate governance practices, as well as on the Governance model in force in the Group and on its adequacy.
The Corporate Governance Committee monitored and evaluated ALTRI's Governance model, and concluded that the model in force in the current term 2023/2025 is a model that, since the beginning of the term, reflects Altri's growing path in strengthening its structure, and that was designed to mirror the commitment of social organs with a structure developed in the image and size of the group.
The Corporate Governance Committee stressed in its analysis that it very positively assesses the subsequent steps taken by the governing bodies, in a constant concern to strengthen and further increase the creation of specialized committees, as well as the adoption of important regulations and policies. The Commission highlighted in particular the review process, which was carried out by the Ethics Committee, the Code of Ethics, which has become a reference document in the organisation, sufficiently clear and detailed and to which all are subject. It also highlighted the deepening of the Group's commitments to equality (as reflected in the Equality Plan adopted by the Group), as well as the Group's commitments to corruption prevention, human rights, sustainability, risk management, community participation and money laundering prevention and combating.
In terms of sustainability, which is one of the first concerns that underlies any decision-making in the Altri Group, the Corporate Governance Committee highlighted the important contribution of the Sustainability Committee, Audit & Risk in monitoring the implementation measures of the 2030 commitment assumed by ALTRI.
The Corporate Governance Committee concluded that ALTRI's Governance model, in force in the current mandate 2023/2025, has proved to be perfectly suited to the challenges of the business and the organization.
On the other hand, ALTRI has in place a Remuneration Committee, elected at a general meeting of shareholders and composed solely of independent members in relation to the members of the Board of Directors and any other interest group.
The Remuneration Committee has the autonomy to, at the expense of the Company and in compliance with reasonable criteria in this regard, hire external service providers who can independently carry out evaluations, studies and the preparation of reports that may assist the Remuneration Committee in the full and full exercise of its functions.
This Committee should rely on benchmarking studies in the field of remuneration policy, ensuring that the Statement on the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the Governing Bodies is aligned with the best practices in use in companies of equal importance and size.

Finally, it should be noted that ALTRI does not have a Nomination Board for the reasons listed in points 29 and 67 of Part I of this report.
Ø Recommendation III.4. The company implements adequate means for shareholders to participate in the general meeting without being present in person, in proportion to its size.
As stated in section 12 of Part 1 of this Report, the Company has implemented the necessary means to ensure the right to vote by correspondence.
With regard to electronic voting, the Company has not implemented the mechanisms necessary for its implementation (i) because this form of voting has never been requested by any of the shareholders and (ii) because it considers that this circumstance does not entail any constraint or restriction on the shareholders' ability to exercise their right to vote, which is promoted and encouraged by the Company.
ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its General Meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Statutory Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
Ø Recommendation III.5. The company also implements adequate means for the exercise of voting rights without being present in person, including by correspondence and electronically.
As stated in section 12 of Part 1 of this Report, the Company has implemented the necessary means to ensure the right to vote by correspondence, by post or electronically (sent by email).
With regard to the possibility of holding General Meetings by telematic means, the Company has not triggered the mechanisms necessary for its implementation because (i) this method has never been requested by any of the shareholders, (ii) the costs of implementing telematic means are high and (iii) this circumstance does not entail any constraint or restriction on the shareholders' ability to exercise their right to vote, which is promoted and encouraged by the Company.
In view of the preceding paragraph and emphasising what is mentioned above, ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its general meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Statutory Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
Therefore, it is understood that all necessary and adequate means to ensure participation in General Meetings are already in place.
Ø Recommendation III.6. The Articles of Association of the company that provide for the restriction of the number of votes that may be held or exercised by one single shareholder, either individually or jointly with other shareholders, shall also foresee that, at least every five years, the general meeting shall resolve on the amendment or maintenance of such statutory provision – without quorum requirements greater than that provided for by law – and that in said resolution, all votes issued are to be counted, without applying said restriction.
The Company's Articles of Association do not establish any limitation on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder individually or together with other shareholders.
Ø Recommendation III.7. The company does not adopt any measures that require payments or the assumption of costs by the company in the event of change of control or change in the

composition of the management body and which are likely to damage the economic interest in the transfer of shares and the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of the Directors.
ALTRI has not adopted - does not exist - any measures which determine payments or the assumption of costs by the company in the event of a change of control or change in the composition of the management body and which are likely to harm the economic interest in the transfer of shares and the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of directors.
Ø Recommendation IV.2.1. Notwithstanding the legal duties of the chairman of the board of directors, if the latter is not independent, the independent directors – or, if there are not enough independent directors, the non-executive directors – shall appoint a coordinator among themselves to, in particular (i) act, whenever necessary, as interlocutor with the chairman of the board of directors and with the other directors, (ii) ensure that they have all the conditions and means required to carry out their duties, and (iii) coordinate their performance assessment by the administration body as provided for in Recommendation VI.1.1.; alternatively, the company may establish another equivalent mechanism to ensure such coordination.
The Chairman of the ALTRI Board of Directors meets all the criteria of independence, and is therefore independent. To that extent, this recommendation should be considered not applicable.
Ø Recommendation IV.2.5. The provisions of paragraph (i) of the previous Recommendation do not prevent the qualification of a new Director as independent if, between the end of his/her functions in any corporate body and his/her new appointment, at least three years have elapsed (cooling-off period).
None of the Company's directors are in the aforementioned situation.
Ø Recommendation V.1. With due regard for the competences conferred to it by law, the supervisory body takes cognisance of the strategic guidelines and evaluates and renders an opinion on the risk policy, prior to its final approval by the administration body.
ALTRI's Statutory Audit Board took knowledge, assessed and pronounced on the strategic guidelines and risk policy (which is available for consultation on the Company's website) prior to its final approval by the Company's Board of Directors, which also unanimously approved it.
Ø Recommendation VI.1.1. The management body – or committee with relevant powers, composed of a majority of non-executive members – evaluates its performance on an annual basis, as well as the performance of the executive committee, of the executive directors and of the company committees, taking into account the compliance with the strategic plan of the company and of the budget, the risk management, its internal functioning and the contribution of each member to that end, and the relationship between the bodies and committees of the company.
ALTRI's Board of Directors also assessed its performance, as well as the performance of its committees and of the executive directors, taking into account compliance with the Company's Strategic Plan and Budget, risk management, its internal functioning and the contribution of each member to that end, and the relationship between the Company's bodies and committees.
The evaluation was carried out by completing a very comprehensive and exhaustive questionnaire given to the directors.
The results of the evaluation were worked on and aggregated by the Legal Department and were presented to the Board of Directors, which analysed and discussed them, always with a focus on identifying and implementing the measures necessary for continuous improvement.

Ø Recommendation VI.2.11. The remuneration of non-executive directors does not include any component whose value depends on the performance of the company or of its value.
The remuneration policy approved by the General Meeting upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee establishes that the individual remuneration of non-executive directors has an exclusively fixed nature.
Ø Recommendation VI.3.2. The committee for the appointment of members of corporate bodies includes a majority of independent directors.
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons set out in points 29 and 67 of Part I of this report.
Ø Recommendation VI.3.3. Unless it is not justified by the size of the company, the task of monitoring and supporting the appointments of senior managers shall be assigned to an appointment committee.
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons listed in sections 29 and 67 of Part I of this Report.
Ø Recommendation VI.3.4. The committee for the appointment of senior management provides its terms of reference and promotes, to the extent of its powers, the adoption of transparent selection processes that include effective mechanisms for identifying potential candidates, and that for selection those are proposed who present the greatest merit, are best suited for the requirements of the position and promote, within the organisation, an adequate diversity including regarding gender equality.
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons listed in sections 29 and 67 of Part I of this Report.
Ø Recommendation VII.9. The company informs in the corporate governance report on the manner in which artificial intelligence mechanisms have been used as a decision-making tool by the corporate bodies.
The Society has not yet implemented artificial intelligence mechanisms for decision-making, given that (i) the creation of these mechanisms has not yet been requested by any social body, (ii) the implementation costs of these mechanisms are high at this initial stage and therefore require strong consideration; (iii) the non-use of artificial intelligence for decision-making does not lead to any restriction on the exercise of mandates by members of the governing bodies and (iv) the Society, in order to implement these mechanisms, must be sure of their undeniable advantages. Society does not exclude, therefore, the possibility of implementing such mechanisms with a view to continuous improvement.
In line with the above, a ALTRI would like to point out that, given its significant compliance with the majority of the recommendations, the Company's has almost fully adopted the recommendations of the IPCG Corporate Governance Code, which can be seen in its diligent and careful management, absolutely focused on the creation of value for the Company and, consequently, for the shareholders.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ALTRI, SGPS, S.A. ('Altri" or 'Company' and, together with its subsidiaries, referred to as 'Group' or 'Altri Group') is a public company incorporated on 1 February 2005, in Portugal, whose headquarters are located at Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818, in Porto, Portugal, and its main activity involves managing shareholdings, while its shares are listed at Euronext Lisbon.
Altri is dedicated to managing shareholdings primarily in the industrial sector, as the parent company of the group of companies shown under Note 4 and referred to as the Altri Group. There is no other company above it that includes these consolidated financial statements. The current activity of the Altri Group focuses on the production of cellulosic fibers through three production units.
Faced with this reality, the Board of Directors considers, with reference to 31 December 2024, that there is only one business segment, namely the production and commercialization of cellulosic fibers (Note 38).
The Altri Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, in amounts rounded off to the nearest Euro. This is the currency used by the Group in its transactions and, as such, is deemed to be the functional currency. The operations of foreign companies whose functional currency is not the Euro, are included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the policy set forth under Note 2.2.d).
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 3 April 2025. Its final approval is still subject to the agreement from the Shareholders' General Meeting. The Group and the Board of Directors expect the same to be approved with no significant changes.
The material accounting policies adopted in preparing the attached consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies were consistently applied during the periods being compared.
In addition, there were no significant changes to the main estimates used by the Group in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The attached financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS-EU") in force for the fiscal year beginning on 1 January 2024. These correspond to the International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ('IFRS - IC') or by the former Standing Interpretations Committee ('SIC'), which have been adopted by the European Union on the account publication date.

The Board of Directors assessed the capacity of the Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, to operate on a going concern basis, based on the entire relevant information, facts and circumstances, of a financial, commercial or other nature, including events subsequent to the financial statements' reference date, as available regarding the future. As a result of this assessment, the Board of Directors concluded that it has adequate resources to maintain its operations, which it does not intend to cease in the short term. Therefore, the use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements was deemed appropriate.
The attached consolidated financial statements were prepared from the accounting books and records of the company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, adjusted in the consolidation process, in the assumption of going concern basis. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group used historic cost as its basis, modified, where applicable, via fair-value measurement of i) biological assets measured at fair value, ii) certain financial instruments, (iii) financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at acquisition date, within the scope of business combinations.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with the IFRS-EU requires the use of estimates, assumptions, and critical judgements in the process of determining accounting policies to be adopted by the Group, with significant impact on the book value of assets and liabilities, as well as on income and expenses for the period. Although these estimates are based on the best experience of the Board of Directors and on its best expectations regarding current and future events and actions, current and future results may differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas with significant assumptions and estimates are disclosed in Note 2.4.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair-value measurement is categorized in three levels (Level 1, 2 and 3), taking into account, among others, whether the data used is observable in an active market, as well as their meaning in terms of valuing assets / liabilities or disclosing them.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability can be settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties, in a transaction not involving a relationship between them, regardless whether this price can be directly observable or estimated, using other valuation techniques. When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group considers the features that market participants would also take into account when valuing the asset or liability on the measurement date.
Assets measured at fair value following initial recognition are grouped into 3 levels according to the possibility of observing their fair value in the market:
Level 1: fair value is determined based on active market prices for identical assets/liabilities;
Level 2: fair value is determined based on evaluation techniques. The assessment models' main inputs are observable in the market; and
Level 3: fair value is determined based on assessment models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
Up to the date for approving these financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following accounting standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions, mandatorily applied to the financial year beginning on 1 January 2024:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years initiated in or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of liabilities as current and non-current and Non-current liabilities with covenants |
1-Jan-24 | These amendments clarify the existing guidelines in IAS 1 regarding the classification of financial liabilities between current and non-current, clarifying that the classification should be measured according to an entity's right to defer payment at the end of each reporting period. In particular, the amendments (i) clarify the concept of 'settlement' by stating that if an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with future covenants, the entity has the right to defer settlement of the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) clarify that the classification of liabilities is not affected by the entity's expectation (based on whether or not the right exists, and should disregard any probability of exercising or not exercising such right), or by events occurring after the reporting date, such as non-compliance with a covenant. If the right to defer settlement for at least twelve months is subject to certain conditions being met after the balance sheet date, these criteria do not affect the right to defer settlement for the purpose of classifying a liability as current or non-current. This amendment applies retrospectively. |
| Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: Supplier finance arrangements |
1-Jan-24 | These amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures aim to clarify the characteristics of a supplier finance arrangement, and introduce additional disclosure requirements when such arrangements exist. The disclosure requirements are intended to help users of financial statements understand the effects of supplier finance arrangements on the entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. This amendment applies retrospectively. |
| Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease liabilities in sale and leaseback transactions |
1-Jan-24 | This amendment to IFRS 16 Leases introduces guidance on the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities related to sale and leaseback transactions that qualify as a "sale" in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15, with greater impact when some or all of the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. In the subsequent measurement of the lease liability, the seller-lessee must determine the "lease payments" and "revised lease payments" in such a way that they do not recognize gains/(losses) in relation to the right of use they retain. This amendment is retrospective. |
There were no significant effects on the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, from the adoption of the above standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions.

(ii) Standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions that will have mandatory application in the future economic exercises.
On the approval date of these financial statements, the following accounting standards and interpretations, to be mandatorily applied in future financial years, were endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years begun on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability |
1-Jan-25 | This amendment aims to clarify how to assess the exchangeability of a currency, and how the exchange rate should be determined when it is not exchangeable for a long period. The amendment specifies that a currency should be considered exchangeable when an entity is able to obtain the other currency within a period that allows for normal administrative management, and through an exchange or market mechanism in which an exchange transaction creates enforceable rights and obligations. If a currency cannot be exchanged for another currency, an entity must estimate the exchange rate at the measurement date of the transaction. The objective is to determine the exchange rate that would be applicable on the measurement date for a similar transaction between market participants. The amendments also state that an entity can use an observable exchange rate without making any adjustment. Early adoption is permitted, but the transition requirements applied must be disclosed. |
This amendment, although endorsed by the European Union, was not adopted by the Group in 2024, because its application is not yet mandatory. It is not expected that the future adoption of this amendment will have significant impacts on the financial statements.
(iii) New, amended, or revised standards and interpretation not adopted by the European Union
The following accounting standards and interpretations were issued by IASB and are not yet endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years begun on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments |
1-Jan-26 | These changes are essentially the result of the Post Implementation Review (PIR) of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and clarify the following aspects relating to financial instruments: • It clarifies that a financial liability is derecognized on the "settlement date", i.e. when the related obligation is settled, cancelled, expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. However, it introduces the possibility of an entity choosing to adopt an accounting policy that allows it to derecognize a financial liability that is settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, provided that certain conditions are met. • Clarifies how an entity should assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include variables relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and other similar contingent characteristics. • It requires additional disclosures for financial assets and liabilities subject to a contingent event (including ESG variables) and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is retrospective. However, an entity is not obliged to restate the comparative period, and the potential impacts of applying this amendment are recognized in retained earnings in the year in which the amendment is applicable. |
| Standard / Interpretation Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts negotiated with reference to electricity generated from renewable sources |
Applicable in the European Union in the financial years begun on or after 1-Jan-26 |
The amendments refer specifically to renewable energy purchase agreements whose source of production is dependent on nature, so that supply cannot be guaranteed at specific times or volumes. In this sense, these amendments clarify the application of the "own use" requirements in power purchase agreements, as well as the fact that it is permitted to apply hedge accounting when these contracts are used as hedging instruments. Early application is permitted, except for the guidelines on hedge accounting which must be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships, so designated on or after the date of initial application. |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Improvements to IFRS (Volume 11) |
1-Jan-26 | Improvements are made on a regular basis to clarify and simplify the application of international standards, through minor changes that are not considered urgent. The main changes included in this volume are: • IFRS 1 (Hedge accounting on first-time adoption of IFRS standards): This amendment aims to update the cross-references in paragraphs B5 and B6 of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, to the hedge accounting eligibility criteria in IFRS 9 for paragraphs 6.4.1(a), (b) and (c). • IFRS 7 (Gain or loss on derecognition): This amendment aims to update the language relating to unobservable market data included in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, as well as adding references to paragraphs 72 and 73 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. • IFRS 7 (Implementation guidance): Several paragraphs relating to the implementation guidance of IFRS 7 have been amended for consistency and clarity. • IFRS 9 (Derecognition of lease liabilities): This amendment clarifies that when a financial liability is extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee should apply paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9 and recognize the gain or loss that results from that derecognition. • IFRS 9 (Transaction price): With this amendment the reference to "transaction price" in paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 is replaced by "amount determined by applying IFRS 15". • IFRS 10 (Determination of 'de facto' agent): Amendment made to paragraph B74 of IFRS 10, which clarifies that the relationship described in that paragraph is only one example of several possible between the investor and other parties acting as 'de facto' agents. The aim of this amendment is to remove the inconsistency with the requirement in paragraph B73 that an entity should use its judgment in assessing whether other parties can act as 'de facto' agents. • IAS 7 (Cost method): Replacement of the term "cost method" with "at cost" in paragraph 37 of IAS 7 following the elimination of the definition of "cost method". Early application is permitted. |
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years begun on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosure in financial statements |
1-Jan-27 | IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and comes in response to requests from investors looking for information on financial performance. With the introduction of the new requirements of IFRS 18, investors will have access to more transparent and comparable information on the financial performance of companies, with the aim of making better investment decisions. IFRS 18 essentially introduces three sets of new requirements to improve the disclosure of financial performance: • Comparability of the income statement: IFRS 18 introduces three defined categories for income and expenses - operating, investing and financing - to improve the structure of the income statement and requires all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating income. The new structure and subtotals will give investors a consistent starting point for analyzing companies' performance, making it easier to compare them. • Transparency of performance measures defined by management: IFRS 18 requires the disclosure of additional information on specific company performance indicators related to the income statement, known as performance measures defined by management. • Aggregation and disaggregation of items in the financial statements: IFRS 18 establishes guidelines on how items in the income statement should be aggregated. Application is retrospective and early adoption is permitted as long as the option is disclosed. |
| IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries not subject to public reporting: Disclosures |
1-Jan-27 | IFRS 19 allows eligible entities to prepare IFRS financial statements with lower disclosure requirements than those required by the IFRS, while maintaining the obligation to apply all the measurement and recognition requirements of the IFRS. The reduction in disclosures defined by IFRS 19 covers most IFRS standards. Eligible entities are those that: (i) are subsidiaries of a group that prepares consolidated financial statements in IFRS for public disclosure; and (ii) are not subject to the obligation to publicly disclose financial information, because they do not have listed debt or equity securities, are not in the process of being listed, nor have as their main activity the safekeeping of assets in a fiduciary capacity. Application is optional. Early application is permitted. Early adopters must disclose and align disclosures in the comparative period with those in the current period. |
These standards are yet to be endorsed by the European Union. As such, they were not applied by the Group in the fiscal year ended 31 December 2024.
Regarding these standards and interpretations, as issued by the IASB but yet to be endorsed by the European Union, it is not believed that their future adoption will entail significant impacts on the attached financial statements.

The consolidation principles adopted by the Altri Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements include the following:
a) Subsidiaries included in consolidation
Investments in companies in which the Altri Group holds the power to control their financial and operating policies, such that it manages to influence, as a result of its involvement, return from activities of the entity held as well as the ability to affect said return (definition of control used by the Group) are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method.
When the Group owns less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has control over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to decide unilaterally on the relevant activities of its investee. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances when assessing whether the voting rights over the investee are sufficient to give it control, including also considering the existence of call options exercisable or becoming exercisable to enable the Group to exercise its power. Control is reassessed by the Group whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in one or more of the control conditions mentioned above.
The equity and net profit of these companies corresponding to third-party shareholding therein are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated income statement under line items 'Non-controlling interests.' The companies included in the financial statements using the full consolidation method are disclosed in Note 4.1.
The total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent company and of the interests they do not control, even if this results in a deficit balance in terms of the interests not controlled by them.
The results of the subsidiaries acquired or sold during the financial year are included in the income statements from the date when control was taken or until the date when control was loss.
Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries in order to adapt their accounting policies to those used by the Group. Transactions, balances, cash flows and dividends distributed among Group companies are eliminated on the consolidation process, as well as, unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, when they do not indicate an impairment of the transferred asset.
Financial investments in joint ventures are investments in entities that are the object of a joint agreement by all or by part of their holders, and the parties that have joint control of the agreement have rights over the entity's net assets. Joint control is obtained by contractual provision and exists only when the associated decisions have to be taken unanimously by the parties that share control.
In situations where the investment or financial interest and the contract concluded between the parties allows the entity to have direct joint control over the rights to hold the asset or obligations inherent in the liabilities related to that agreement, it is considered that such joint agreement does not correspond to a joint venture, but to a jointly controlled operation.

Investments in associates are investments where the Group wields significant influence, but in which it does not hold control or joint control. Significant influence (presumed when voting rights are between 20% to 50%) is the power to participate in the entity's financial and operational policy decisions, without, however, exercising joint control or control of those policies.
Financial investments in joint ventures and associates are recorded using the equity method.
In accordance with the equity method, these financial investments are initially recorded at acquisition cost or at fair value in case the entities are acquired via business combinations processes. Financial investments are subsequently adjusted by the amount corresponding to the Group's participation in the comprehensive income (including net income for the year) of the joint ventures and the associates, against other comprehensive income of the Group or of the gains or losses for the year, as applicable. In addition, the dividends of these companies are recorded as a decrease in the value of the investment, and the proportionate share in changes in equity is recorded as a change in the Group's equity.
The differences between the acquisition price and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the joint ventures and the associates on the acquisition date, if positive, are recognized as Goodwill and maintained in the value of the financial investment, in joint ventures and associates. If these differences are negative, they are recorded as income for the year under the item "Results related to investments", after reconfirmation of the fair value attributed (Note 2.2.c)).
Investments in joint ventures and associates are evaluated when there is an indication that the asset might be impaired, as impairment losses are recorded as an expense when shown to exist. When impairment losses recognised in previous financial years no longer exist, are reversed.
When the Group's share in joint ventures and associates's accumulated losses exceeds the amount at which the investment is recorded, the investment is reported as nil value, except when the Group has shouldered commitments towards the joint venture and associate. In such cases, a provision is recorded in order to fulfil those obligations.
Unrealised gains in transactions with joint ventures and associates are proportionally eliminated from the Group interest in the associate against the investment in those entities. Unrealised losses are similarly eliminated, but only to the extent there is no evidence of impairment of the transferred asset.
The accounting policies of joint ventures and associates are changed, whenever necessary, in order to make sure they are consistently applied by every Group company.
Investments in joint ventures and associates are disclosed in Note 4.2.
In a business combination, the differences between the acquisition price of investments in subsidiaries, plus the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed to fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of those companies on their acquisition date, when positive, are recorded as 'Goodwill' and, when negative, following a revaluation of the determination, are recorded directly in the income statements.

The Group performs, in a transaction-by-transaction basis, the concentration test to assess whether it is dealing with a purchase of assets or a concentration of business activities. That is, determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.
When the concentration test is met, or the above mentioned criteria are not met, the Group considers acquisition of a group of assets, being recorded as non-financial asset the difference between the net assets acquired and the acquisition cost.
The differences between the acquisition cost of investments in subsidiaries based abroad and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries at the date of acquisition are recorded in the reporting currency of those subsidiaries, and converted to the Group's reporting currency (Euro) at the exchange rate in force at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Exchange rate differences arising from this translation are recorded under the equity caption "Currency translation reserve" included in the equity caption "Other reserves". In addition, when applicable, if there are intra-group loans whose repayment is not required in the near future, the respective exchange differences are recognized in equity under "Currency translation reserve", to the extent that they are understood to be part of the net investment in the subsidiary that use a currency other than the Euro.
The differences between the acquisition price of financial investments in joint ventures and associates and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies at the date of their acquisition, when positive, are maintained under the heading "Investments in joint ventures and associates" and, when negative, after a reconfirmation of the fair value attributed, they are recorded directly in the income statement, under the caption "Results related to investments".
The Altri Group, on a transaction-by-transaction basis (for each business combination), chooses to measure any non-controlling interest in the acquired company either at fair value or in the proportional part of non-controlling interests in the acquired company's identifiable net assets.
The amount of future contingent payments is recognised as a liability when combination occurs according to its fair value and afterwards adjusted at fair value through profit and loss. Any change to the initially recognised amount is recorded against the amount of Goodwill, but only if this occurs within the measuring period (12 months after the acquisition date) and if this is related to facts and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date. Otherwise, it has to be recorded against the income statement, unless said contingent payment is categorised as equity, in which case it should not be remeasured, and only at the time of the settlement thereof will the impact on equity be recognised.
Subsequent transactions involving the purchase or sale of interests in entities already controlled, without this resulting in a loss of control, are treated as transactions between holders of capital affecting only the equity line items, without impacting the line item 'Goodwill' or the income statement.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value on the previous acquisition date of interests held is remeasured to fair value on the date when control is gained, against the results of the period when control is achieved, thus affecting the determining of Goodwill or purchase price allocation.

At the time when a sales transaction generates a loss of control, that entity's assets and liabilities have to be derecognised, and any interest withheld at the disposed entity shall be remeasured at fair value, and any loss or gain resulting is recorded in the income statement.
The Group annually tests for the existence of Goodwill impairment. The recoverable amounts of the cash flow-generating units are determined based on the calculation of values in use. These calculations call for the use of assumptions that are based on estimates of future circumstances whose occurrence could be different from the estimate. Goodwill impairment losses cannot be reversed.
The assets and liabilities in the financial statements of subsidiaries that use a currency other than the Euro included in the consolidation are converted to Euro using the exchange rates on the date of the statement of financial position and the expenses and revenues, and cash flows are converted to Euro using the weighted average exchange rate occurring in the financial year. The resulting currency exchange difference is recorded under the 'Currency translation reserves' is included in the equity item "Other reserves".
The Goodwill amount and fair-value adjustments resulting from the acquisition of entities that use a currency other than the Euro are treated as assets and liabilities of that entity and transposed to Euro according to the applicable exchange rate at the end of the financial year.
Whenever a subsidiary that uses a currency other than the Euro is disposed of, the accumulated currency exchange difference is recognised in the income statement as a gain or loss in the disposal, if there is a loss of control, or transferred to non-controlling interests, if there is no loss of control.
The exchange rate used in converting the subsidiary's accounts from subsidiaries that use a currency other than the Euro was as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| End of the financial year | Average for the financial period included in the financial statements |
End of the financial year | Average for the financial period included in the financial statements |
|
| Swiss Franc | 0.9415 | 0.9527 | 0.9257 | 0.9710 |
The main recognition and measurement criteria used by the Altri Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are recognised only if they are likely to result in future economic benefits for the Group, if they can be controlled by the Group, and if their value can be reasonably measured.
When acquired individually, intangible assets are recognised at cost, comprising: i) the purchase price, including costs with intellectual rights and fees after any discounts are deducted; and ii) any cost directly attributable to its preparation for its intended use.


When acquired in a business combination, and recognised separately from goodwill, intangible assets are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is considered as cost), determined under the application of the acquisition method, as foreseen in the IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
Development expenses for which the Group is shown as being able to complete its development and begin its sell and/or use and relative to which the created asset is likely to generate future economic benefits, are capitalised. Development expenses that do not meet these criteria are recorded as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Internal costs associated with software maintenance and development are recorded as expenses in the income statement when incurred, except when said expenses are directly associated with projects for which future economic benefits are likely to be generated for the Group. In such situations, expenses are capitalised as intangible assets.
Amortizations are calculated, after the assets are available for use, using the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated useful life period (generally 3 to 5 years).
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, net of the corresponding depreciation as well as accumulated impairment losses.
The acquisition cost includes the asset's purchase price, expenses directly attributable to its acquisition, and charges with preparing the asset so that it can be readied for proper use. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets are capitalized as part of the cost of these assets.
After the date when the assets are available for use, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated useful life period for each group of assets.
Depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful life periods:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Land and natural resources | 20 to 50 |
| Buildings and other edifications | 10 to 50 |
| Plant and machinery | 2 to 15 |
| Vehicles | 2 to 10 |
| Office equipment | 2 to 10 |
| Other tangible assets | 3 to 10 |
In the case of projects in a development stage, expenses are capitalised only when it is probable that the project will be effectively accomplished, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group. If there are changes in the regulatory framework or other circumstances that modify the expected completion of the project, the assets are derecognised and the respective impacts on expenses for the year are recognised.
The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, as well as any other costs directly attributable to developing the asset until its condition for use or sale.
Costs related to prospecting and attracting new business are recorded as an expense in the period in which they occur.


The corresponding liability is subsequently treated at amortized cost, with changes in the value of such payments recognized against the value of the corresponding assets, except for the financial effect of the discount or changes in the applicable discount rate, which is recognized as interest expense, in analogy to the treatment prescribed by IFRIC 1.
Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the assets' useful life or result in significant upgrades or improvements to components of property, plant and equipment are recorded as an expense in the financial year when they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment in progress represent fixed assets still under construction, and are recorded at acquisition cost net of any impairment losses. These fixed assets are depreciated from the moment when they are available for use and under the necessary operating conditions, as intended by management.
Internal costs associated with project development are recorded as expenses in the income statement when incurred, except where these costs are directly associated with projects for which the generation of future economic benefits for the Group is probable. In these cases the costs are capitalized as tangible fixed assets.
Considering the substance of the transaction, land perpetual surface rights acquired are considered to be land.
Gains or losses resulting from the sale or write-off of the tangible fixed asset are determined as the difference between the sales price and the net book value on the disposal or write-off date. They are recorded in the income statement under the line items 'Other income' or 'Other expenses'.
The Group assesses assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, and at least annually, with the impairment recognized in the income statement (when applicable). Impairment losses detected in the realisation amount of property, plant and equipment are recorded in the year when they are estimated, against the line item 'Provisions and impairment losses' in the income statement.
The Altri Group's investment properties correspond to properties not assigned to the Group's operations, and are not intended for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes or for sale during the normal course of business.
The investment properties are initially measured at cost (including transaction costs) and are subsequently kept at acquisition or production cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
After the date when the goods are available for use, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated useful life period for each asset.
At the start of every agreement, the Group assesses whether the agreement is, or contains, a lease. That is, whether the right of use of a specific asset or assets is being transferred for a certain period of time in exchange for a payment.

The Group applies the same recognition and measurement method to every lease, except for shortterm leases and leases associated with low-value assets. The Group recognises a liability relative to lease payments and an asset identified as a right of use of the underlying asset.
On the lease start date (that is, the date from which the asset is available for use), the Group recognises an asset relative to right of use. 'Right-of-use assets' are measured at cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted by remeasuring lease liability. The cost comprises the initial value of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made on or prior to the start date, on top of any initial direct costs incurred, as well as a cost estimate for dismantling and removing the underlying asset (as applicable), net of any incentive granted (as applicable).
The right-of-use asset is depreciated in twelfths, using the straight-line depreciation method, based on the lease term.
If ownership of the asset is transferred to the Group at the end of the lease period, or the cost includes a purchase option, depreciation is calculated by taking into account the asset's estimated useful life.
Right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment losses.
On the lease start date, the Group recognises a liability measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made throughout the agreement. Lease payments included in measuring lease liability include fixed payments, net of any incentives already received (where applicable) and variable payments associated with an index or rate. Where applicable, payments also include the cost of exercising a purchase option, which shall be exercised by the Group with reasonable certainty, and payments of penalties for ending the agreement, if the lease terms reflect the Group's exercising option.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when changes occur to future payments derived from a change to the index or rate, as well as possible modifications to the lease agreements.
Variable payments not associated with any indices or rates are recognised as an expense during the financial year, in the period when the event or condition leading to the payment occurs.
Since the interest rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable, the Group, for the calculation of the present value of future lease payments, uses the incremental interest rate at the inception date of the lease. This rate is determined by observing market data from composite bond interest rate curves with reference to the lease commencement date for similar maturities to the lease term. Thereafter, the amount of the lease liability is increased by accrued interest and reduced by rent payments made. Additionally, the amount is remeasured if there is any change in the terms of the agreement, the amount of the lease payments (e.g., changes in future payments caused by a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments) or a change in the valuation of a call option associated with the underlying asset.

The Group applies the recognition exemption to its assets' short-term leases (i.e., leases lasting up to 12 months and not containing a purchase option). The Group also applies the recognition exemption to leases of assets deemed to be of low value. Payments of short-term and low-value leases are recognised as an expense in the financial year, throughout the lease period.
Grants attributed as part of personnel training programmes, or production support, are recorded under the line item 'Other income' in the consolidated income statement for the financial year when said programmes are conducted, regardless of the date when they are received, when all necessary conditions have been fulfilled for receiving them.
Government grants related to fixed assets are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities' regarding short-term and medium-/long-term instalments, respectively, and recognised in the income statement proportionally to the depreciation of subsidised property, plant and equipment.
Grants pertaining to biological assets valued at fair value are only recognised in the income statement when their allocation is unconditional, that is, when the allocation's terms and conditions are all met.
Financial incentives received for funding property, plant and equipment are recorded under the line item 'Reimbursable government grants' of current and non-current liabilities in accordance with the repayment plan outlined by the allocating bodies.
The Group's asset impairment is assessed on the date of every consolidated statement of financial position and whenever there is an event or change in circumstances indicating that the amount for which the asset is recorded might not be recoverable.
Whenever the amount for which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the income statement under the line item 'Provisions and impairment losses.'
The recoverable amount is either the net sales price or the value in use, whichever is higher. The net sales price is the amount that would be obtained from the asset's disposal, in a transaction between independent knowledgeable entities, net of the costs directly attributable to the disposal. The value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to arise from the continuous use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The reversal of impairment losses recognised in previous financial years is recorded when it is concluded that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or has decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement under the line item 'Provisions and impairment losses' This reversal of the impairment loss is made up to the limit of the amount that would have been recognised (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for that asset in prior years.

g) Borrowing costs
Financial expenses related to loans are generally recognised as an expense in the income statement, according to the principle of accrual accounting.
Financial expenses on loans directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. The capitalisation of these expenses begins after the start of preparation of the construction or development activities of the asset and is interrupted when those assets are available for use or at the end of the construction of the asset or when the project in question is suspended.
The goods and raw materials, subsidiaries and consumables are valued at acquisition cost, net of the amount of quantity discounts granted by suppliers, which is lower than the corresponding market value.
Finished and intermediate goods, sub-products and work in progress are stated at production cost, including the cost of raw materials, direct labour and production overheads, which is lower than the corresponding market value. From this standpoint, harvested wood owned by the Group is valued at production cost, including costs incurred with cutting, gathering and transport of harvested wood owned, as well as the accumulated cost of plantation, maintenance and administrative expenses in proportion to the harvested area.
The Group proceeds to record the corresponding impairment losses in order to reduce, where applicable, inventories at their net realisable value or market price.
Part of the Altri Group's activity comprises the cultivation of various forest species, especially eucalyptus, which are basically used as raw materials for producing cellulosic fibers. The Altri Group owns several forests geared to these operations, which are categorised under the line item 'Biological assets.' The forest land owned by the Group is stated according to the accounting policy referred to under Note 2.3.b) and are given under the line item 'Property, plant and equipment' of the consolidated statement of financial position. Forest land not owned by the Altri Group and that is leased is measured according to the accounting policy referred to under Note 2.3.d), and is given under the line item 'Right-of-use assets' in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Biological assets are measured at fair value, except for the initial investment amount in the first two years, when they are measured at cost. After said date, the assets are measured at fair-value. Determining this fair value entails using the discounted cash-flow method, obtained via an independent assessment conducted by an external entity. Said assessment took into consideration assumptions regarding the productivity of the forests and the sales price of lumber, less the costs of forest exploitation (cutting, forwarding and transportation), maintenance costs, forest management costs and rents (of owned and leased land), to which the method of discounting future cash flows using an estimated discount rate is applied.
The discount rate corresponds to the market interest rate, without inflation, in a manner consistent with the projection structure, determined taking into account the profitability that the Group expects to obtain from forestry assets, which are essentially intended to be incorporated into the Group's cellulosic fiber production.

Changes in estimates are recognised as changes in fair value of biological assets in the income statement.
Biological assets are evaluated according to level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy.
The value of wood is transferred to production costs when the corresponding wood, after it is cut, is incorporated in the end product. Cutting own wood is stated at the specific cost of each forest (or grove) when transferred to the operating facilities comprising the inventory.
Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present (legal or implicit) obligation resulting from a past event, it is likely that, to resolve this obligation, an outflow of resources occurs and the obligation amount can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are reviewed on the date of each consolidated statement of financial position and adjusted to reflect the best estimate on that date.
Provisions for restructuring expenses are recognised by the Group whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and has been communicated to the parties involved.
Some of the Group's subsidiaries have committed to granting their employees cash benefits as retirement pension or disability supplements, which fall under established benefit plans.
To cover these liabilities, corresponding autonomous pension funds are in place, whose annual charges, determined according to actuarial calculations, are recorded as expenses or income for the financial year, in compliance with IAS 19 – 'Employee benefits.'
The effect of measuring liabilities according to established benefit plans, including actuarial gains and losses, and income from the plan's assets (where applicable) net of interest is recognised under Other comprehensive income. Such measurement is not the subject of reclassification to income statement in subsequent financial years.
The net interest is recognised in the income statement. The cost of past services is also recognised in the income statement, in the financial years when the services were provided by the employees.
Any insufficient coverage from the autonomous pension funds in view of liabilities for past services is recorded as a liability in the Group's financial statements, in the caption "Pension liabilities".
When the net asset situation of the autonomous pension funds is greater than the liabilities for past services, the Altri Group records an asset in the caption "Other non-current assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position, to the extent where the differential corresponds to lesser allocation needs for pension funds in the future.
Actuarial liabilities are calculated according to the Projected Unit Credit Method, using actuarial and financial assumptions deemed appropriate (Note 29).

(ii) Defined contribution plans
From May 2014, the Group's subsidiaries have been providing these retirement supplements through defined contribution plans. The Group attributes its employees with permanent subordinated employment contracts a defined contribution pension plan. In accordance with this plan, the Group attributes to each permanent employee a percentage of his pensionable salary based on his length of service. The contribution to the Pension Fund varies each year depending on the Altri Group's results, and the contributions made are recorded as an expense in the period, thus no longer having any liability for future benefits related to the Pension Fund. The defined benefit plans are not contributory for its participants.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes part of the instrument's contractual provisions.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities (which are not financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income statement) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial asset and liability, as appropriate, in the initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities recognised at fair value through the income statement are recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the date of signature of the respective purchase and sale contracts, regardless of the date of their financial settlement. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at their fair value, depending on the business model adopted by the Group and the characteristics of its contractual cash flows.
Fixed income debt instruments and receivables that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating the corresponding interest during its life.

For financial assets that are not acquired or originated with impairment (i.e. assets impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts), over the expected life of the instrument, in its gross carrying amount at the date of its initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount by which it is measured on initial recognition net of principal repayments plus the accumulated amortisation, using the effective interest rate method, of any difference between that initial amount and the amount of its repayment, adjusted for any impairment losses.
Interest-related revenue is recognised in the consolidated income statement under the line item 'Financial income', using the effective interest rate method, for financial assets subsequently recorded at amortised cost or at fair value through income statement. Interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the financial asset's gross carrying amount.
Debt instruments and receivables that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
In the initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable choice (on a financial-instrument-byfinancial-instrument basis) to state certain investments under equity instruments (shares) at fair value through other comprehensive income when these fulfil the definition of capital provided for under IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Classification is determined on an instrument-by- instrument basis.
The fair-value designation through other comprehensive income is not permitted if the investment is held for trading purposes or when resulting from a contingent consideration recognised as part of a business combination.
A capital instrument is held for trading if:

Investments in equity instruments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction expenses. Subsequently, they are measured at their fair value with gains and losses arising from their change, as recognised under other comprehensive income. At the time of its disposal, the accumulated gain or loss generated with these financial instruments is not reclassified to the consolidated income statement, but, rather, merely transferred to the line item 'Retained Earnings', included in the equity caption "Other reserves".
Dividends associated with investments in equity instruments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in the consolidated income statement when they are attributed / resolved on, unless the same clearly represent a recovery on the part of the investment cost. Dividends are recorded in the consolidated income statement under the line item 'Financial income.'
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at the time of initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value.
Financial assets recorded at fair value through the income statement are measured at fair value obtained at the end of each reporting period. The corresponding gains or losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement, except if they are part of a hedging relationship.
The Group recognises expected impairment losses for debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as for trade receivables, of other receivables, and for assets associated with contracts with customers. Impairment loss of these assets is recorded according to expected impairment losses (expected credit losses) of those financial assets. The loss amount is recognised in the income statement for the financial year when this situation occurs.
The expected impairment loss amount for the aforementioned financial assets is updated on every reporting date in order to reflect the credit risk changes occurred since the initial recognition of the corresponding financial assets.
Expected impairment losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost (trade receivables and other receivables and assets associated with contracts with customers) are estimated using the uncollectability matrix based on Group debtors' credit history in the last few years, as well as from estimated future macroeconomic conditions.
According to the expected simplified approach, the Group recognises expected impairment losses for the economic life of trade receivables and other receivables (lifetime). Expected losses on these financial assets are estimated using an impairment matrix based on the Group's historical experience of impairment losses, affected by specific prospective factors related to debtors' expected credit risk, by the evolving general economic conditions and by an evaluation of current and projected circumstances on the financial reporting date.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
Measuring expected impairment losses reflects the estimated likelihood of default, the likelihood of loss due to said default (i.e., the magnitude of loss in the event of default) and the Group's actual general exposure to said default. The Group considers default to be 60 days after the due date.
Assessment of the likelihood of default and of loss due to said default is based on existing historical information, adjusted for future estimated information as described above.
For financial assets, exposure to default is shown as the assets' gross book value on each reporting date. For financial assets, expected impairment loss is estimated as the difference between every contractual cash flow owed to the Group, as agreed upon between the parties, and the cash flows the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The Group recognises gains and losses regarding impairments in the income statement for every financial instrument, with the corresponding adjustments to their book value via the line item of accumulated impairment losses in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Considering the Group's business model and strict credit control policy, bad debts have been almost non-existent.
The Group evaluates expected impairment losses, in accordance with IFRS 9.
The model used for determining impairments of receivables consists of the following:
Moreover, the Group maintains impairments recognised in previous financial years as a result of specific past events and based on specific balances examined on a case-by-case basis.
The amounts given in the consolidated statement of financial position are net of accumulated impairment losses for bad debts that were estimated by the Group; therefore, they are at their fair value.
For every other situation and nature of balances receivable, the Group applies the general impairment model approach. On every reporting date, it assesses whether there was a significant increase in credit risk from the asset's initial recognition date. If credit risk did not increase, the Group calculates an impairment corresponding to the amount equivalent to expected losses within a 12-month period. If credit risk did increase, the Group calculates an impairment corresponding to the amount equivalent to expected losses for every contractual cash flow up to the asset's maturity. The credit risk is assessed in accordance with the loans disclosed in the credit risk management policies.

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the asset's contractual cash-flow rights expire, or when transferring the financial asset and substantially every risk and benefit associated with its ownership to another entity. When substantially every risk and benefit arising from ownership of an asset is neither transferred nor retained, or control over the asset is not transferred, the Group keeps on recognising the transferred asset to the extent of its continued involvement. In this case, the Group also recognises the corresponding liability, the transferred asset and corresponding liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations retained by the Group. If the Group retains substantially every risk and benefit associated with ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group keeps on recognising said asset; in addition, it recognises a loan for the amount received in the meantime.
In derecognising a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the retribution received and to be received is recognised in the consolidated statement of results.
On the other hand, when derecognising a financial asset represented by a capital instrument recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gain or loss in the revaluation reserve is reclassified to the consolidated income statement.
However, in derecognising a financial asset represented by a capital instrument irrevocably designated in the initial recognition as recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gain or loss in the revaluation reserve is not reclassified to the consolidated profit-andloss statement, but, rather, transferred to the line item 'Retained Earnings' included in the caption of equity "Other reserves".
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as liability or as equity according to the transaction's contractual substance.
The Group considered equity instruments to be those where the transaction's contractual support shows that the Group holds a residual interest in a set of assets after deducting a set of liabilities.
The equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the amount received, net of costs directly attributable to their issue.
The repurchase of equity instruments issued by the Group (own shares) is accounted for at its acquisition cost as a deduction from equity. Gains or losses inherent to disposal of own shares are recorded under the line item 'Other reserves.'
After initial recognition, every financial liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are recorded at fair value through profit or loss when:
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value through consolidated income statement are measured at their fair value with the corresponding gains or losses arising from their variation, as recognised in the consolidated income statement, except if assigned to hedging transactions.
Financial liabilities not designated for recording at fair value through consolidated income statement are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating the corresponding interest during its life.
The effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts), over the expected life of the instrument, in its gross carrying amount at the date of its initial recognition.
Loans in the form of commercial paper issues are categorised as non-current liabilities when they are guaranteed to be placed for more than one year, and the Group's Board of Directors intends to use this source of funding also for more than one year.
The other financial liabilities basically refer to lease liabilities, which are initially recorded at their fair value. Following their initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are settled, cancelled or have expired.
The difference between the derecognised financial liability's carrying amount and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

When the Group and a given creditor exchange a debt instrument for another containing substantially different terms, said exchange is accounted for as a cancellation of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Likewise, the Group accounts for substantial modifications to the terms of an existing liability, or to a part thereof, as a cancellation of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (i) the liability's carrying amount prior to modification; and (ii) the present value of future cash flows after modification is recognised in the consolidated income statement as a modification gain or loss.
The Group contracts confirming operations with financial institutions, which can be considered as reverse factoring agreements. Under these agreements, certain suppliers can obtain advance payment of invoices issued to the Altri Group through a financial institution. Under these agreements, the financial institutions pay in advance the amounts owed by the Group to the participating suppliers and the Group reimburses the financial institution on the due date and in accordance with the terms of the invoice. Participating suppliers pay commissions and interest for the service of advancing payments to the financial institution. The main purpose of these agreements is to give suppliers access to payment prior to the due date of invoices.
Bearing in mind that these contracts do not give rise to a financial expense for the Group, nor do they alter the payment terms agreed with the suppliers, the amounts of the invoices from suppliers who adhere to these contracts are kept under liabilities under the heading "Suppliers - supplier finance arrangements". The liability is only derecognized when the underlying obligations are extinguished by payment by the Group to the financial institution, are cancelled or expire.
Cash flows related to supplier finance arrangements are included in cash flows generated by operating activities.
The Altri Group adopted the amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: Supplier finance arrangements for the first time in the current financial year. These amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements when supplier finance arrangements exist. The disclosure requirements are intended to help users of the financial statements understand the effects of these agreements on the Group's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
These amendments contain transitional provisions for the first annual reporting period in which an entity applies them. Under the transitional provisions, an entity is not required to disclose:
The disclosures required by these amendments are included in Note 23.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the corresponding net amount is shown under the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a present right of mandatory fulfilment to offset the recognised amounts and with the intention of either settling on a net basis or realising the asset and simultaneously settling the liability.
Altri Group uses derivative instruments in managing its financial risks as a way to ensure hedging against said risks.
The derivatives used by the Group, defined as cash flow hedging instruments, are interest rate hedging instruments on borrowings, exchange rate hedging instruments, pulp price hedging instruments, as well as energy price hedging instruments.
The risk is hedged in its entirety, there is no hedging of risk components, and there is no target hedging value for these risks.
The Group only designates the spot element of forward contracts as a hedging instrument. The forward element is recognized in Other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.
The Group designates only the spot element of forward agreements as a hedging instrument. The forward element is recognised under Other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate equity component.
The derivative financial instruments used for economic risk hedging purposes can be classified in the accounts as hedging instruments, provided they cumulatively meet the following conditions:
Whenever expectations of evolving interest rates or currency exchange rates so justify, the Group seeks to put under contract transactions protecting against unfavourable operations, using derivative instruments, such as, interest rate swaps (IRS), interest rate and currency exchange rate collars or exchange rate forwards.
Selecting hedging instruments to be used basically states their features in terms of economic risks they seek to hedge. Also considered are the implications of including each additional instrument in existing derivative portfolio, namely effects in terms of volatility of results.

In the case of variable interest rate hedging instruments, the conditions established for these cash flow hedge instruments are identical to those of the corresponding loans in terms of the amount, maturity dates of the interest and repayment schedules of the loans and for these reasons they qualify as perfect hedges.
In the case of hedging instruments for exchange rate exposure, the Group contracts to hedge highly probable transactions and for a small portion of the expected total, so it is also understood that hedging strategies are highly effective.
In the case of pulp price hedging instruments, the price indexes to which the futures contracts hedging the pulp price are indexed are those most frequently used by the Group's subsidiaries as a reference for the sale price of their pulp, which is why it is understood that they also provide perfect hedging for highly probable transactions that are expected to occur in quantities greater than those contracted.
In the case of energy price hedging instruments, the Group contracts to hedge highly probable transactions and for a portion of the total expected energy purchases and/or sales transactions, so the hedging strategies are also understood to be highly effective.
In the case of the Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA), the Group designates as hedged item a specific quantity of forecasted future purchase of energy indicated at inception of the hedge relationship. In these contracts, if the market price of electricity, quoted on MIBEL, is higher than the contractually agreed fixed price, the producer (counterparty) will pay the Group (customer) the difference calculated for the volume of energy produced by the counterparty, with the Group paying the producer the difference in cases where the market price is lower than the contractually defined price.
The Group uses a quantitative approach to verify whether there is an economic relationship between hedging instrument and the hedged item. The test is performed based on a scenario analysis relating to the change in market energy price (solar profile and baseload profile) and the volume of production by the solar farm. The hedge ratio is calculated as the total volume of the hedging instrument divided by the total volume of purchases designated as hedged item.
The main sources of ineffectiveness identified by the Group in terms of energy price risk in cash flow hedging relationships arise from: i) credit risk on the hedging instrument (VPPA contract), ii) the fact that the initial fair value of the hedging instrument is not equal to zero, iii) any changes in the purchase forecast volumes, compared to the forecast at inception, iv) any differences between the actual production volumes and the energy purchase volumes designated at inception, by the Group, in each month, v) any differences between the price of purchase (baseload) and the price used for the VPPA settlement (solar adjusted profile), and vi) the fact that the settlement dates provided for in the contract are different than the dates of market purchases of energy.
Hedging instruments are recorded at their fair value.

As long as a cash flow hedge derivative meets the qualifying criteria, the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows:
Amounts recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve are subsequently recognised in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects the income statement according to the nature of the underlying transaction. If these are of an operational nature, they are recognized under "Other income" or "Other expenses". If they are of a financial nature, they are recognized under "Financial income" or "Financial expenses". If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses accumulated in equity are removed from the cash flow hedge reserve and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.
Hedge accounting for derivative instruments is discontinued whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, namely when the instrument matures or is sold, or when the future transaction is no longer highly probable. The fair value differences accumulated until then, which are recorded in equity under the caption "Hedging reserve", are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction, and subsequent revaluations are recorded directly under the corresponding headings of the consolidated income statement.
In the case of hedges of highly probable future transactions, the cumulative amount in Other comprehensive income must remain if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the cumulative amount is reclassified immediately to the consolidated income statement as a reclassification adjustment. After the interruption, once the hedged cash flows occur, any cumulative amount remaining in equity under "Hedging reserves" should be accounted for according to the nature of the underlying transaction.
When embedded derivatives exist in other financial instruments or other contracts, they are treated as separate derivatives in situations in which the risks and characteristics are not closely related to the host contracts, and in situations in which the contracts are not presented at fair value, unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated income statement.
In cases where derivative instruments, although contracted for the specific purpose of hedging financial risks, do not meet the above requirements for classification as hedging instruments, changes in fair value directly affect the consolidated income statement, under the headings "Financial income" and "Financial expenses".

m) Cash and cash equivalents
The amounts included under the line item 'Cash and cash equivalents' correspond to cash amounts, bank deposits, term deposits, and other treasury applications, maturing in less than three months, and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
In terms of statement of cash flows, the line item 'Cash and cash equivalents' also comprises bank overdrafts included under the current liability line item 'Bank loans.'
n) Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows is prepared according to IAS 7, using the direct method.
The statement of cash flows is categorised under operating (which include receipts from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and others related to operating activities), financing (which include payments and receipts related to borrowings, lease liabilities and dividend payments) and investment activities (which include acquisitions and disposals of investments in subsidiaries and receipts and payments arising from the purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment).
o) Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not fully under the control of the Group.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the Group's financial statements being disclosed only when a future economic benefit is likely to occur.
Contingent liabilities are defined by the Group as: (i) possible obligations arising from past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not under full control of the Group, or (ii) present obligations arising from past events but that are not recognised because it is unlikely that a cash flow affecting economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Group's financial statements and are actually disclosed unless the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is remote, in which case they are not disclosed at all.
p) Income tax
Income tax for the financial year is calculated based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation and considers deferred taxation, in accordance with the tax regulations in force.
As of 31 December 2024, the subsidiaries of the Altri Group detailed below, and which are based in Portugal, are taxed under the special taxation regime for groups of companies ("RETGS"), pursuant to art. 69 of the Portuguese Corporate Income Tax Code ("Código do Imposto sobre o Rendimento de Pessoas Coletivas"):

Each of the companies taxed under the RETGS, record the income tax in their individual accounts against the Group Companies account. When subsidiaries contribute with losses, the amount of tax corresponding to the losses that will be offset by the profits of the other companies covered by this regime is recorded in its individual financial statements. If deferred tax assets relating to tax losses generated are recorded, the amount is recorded in the subsidiary as an account receivable from the parent company of the tax Group.
The Group recognises the gain with tax incentives to investment in the form of tax breaks in accordance with the criteria set forth under 'IAS 12 – Income tax' for recognising gains with tax credits. This way, the gain is recognised at the time when the right to its use is obtained, while recognising a deferred tax asset if all of those tax credits cannot be used in the financial year and if, in the future, the company is expected to manage sufficient results to allow for their use.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the financial position statement liability method and reflect the temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting reporting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually assessed using the tax rates in force or substantially in force at the expected date of reversal of temporary differences.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
Deferred tax assets are recognised only when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future tax profits for their use, or in situations where there are taxable temporary differences that offset the temporary differences deductible in the period of their reversal. At the end of each period, a review is made of these deferred taxes, which are reduced whenever their future use is no longer likely.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for every taxable temporary difference.

Deferred taxes are not recognised in respect to temporary differences associated with investments in associates, since the following conditions are simultaneously considered to be met:
Deferred taxes are recorded as expenses or income for the financial year, except if they result from amounts recorded directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is recorded under the same line item.
Following the issuance of the new legislation by the OECD, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar 2 Model Rules, on 23 May 2023. The amendments clarify that IAS 12 applies to income taxes resulting from tax legislation enacted or substantially enacted to implement the Pillar 2 model rules published by the OECD.
So as to avoid different practical interpretations of the changes to IAS 12, to improve the information provided to users of financial statements after the entry into force of the Pillar 2 legislation and to provide timely relief to covered entities, a mandatory temporary exception to the new requirements of IAS 12 has been introduced. Under this standard, a company must not recognize or disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the rules of the Pillar 2 BEPS model proposed by the OECD. The Altri Group has applied the mandatory temporary exception in the year ended 31 December 2024, and did not record or disclose information on deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Pillar 2 model rules.
Pillar 2 legislation has been enacted in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, and the legislation came into force for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2024.
q) Energy sector extraordinary contribution (CESE)
Law no. 83-C/2013 of the 2014 State Budget ("State Budget Law 2014"), approved by the Portuguese Government on 31 December 2013, introduced an extraordinary contribution applicable to the energy sector (CESE), with the objective of financing mechanisms that promote the systemic sustainability of the energy sector, through the constitution of a fund that aims to contribute to the reduction of tariff debt and to finance social and environmental policies in the energy sector. This contribution is generally concentrated on economic operators that carry out the following activities: (i) generation, transport or distribution of electricity; (ii) transportation, distribution, storage or wholesale supply of natural gas; and (iii) refining, treatment, storage, transportation, distribution and wholesale supply of oil and oil products.
CESE is calculated based on the companies' net assets as at January 1 of each year, which comply, cumulatively, to: (i) property, plant and equipment; (ii) intangible assets, except industrial property elements; and (iii) financial assets assigned to concessions or licensed activities. In the case of regulated activities, CESE focuses on the value of regulated assets if it is higher than the value of those assets.
The CESE regime was successively extended and became valid for 2024 through Law no. 82/2023 of 29 December.

The general rate is 0.85%, which is applied to the value of the net assets allocated to the activity (of each power plant), with reference to January 1 of the respective year.
For the fiscal years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the energy production units through biomass, whose power is less than 20 MW, are exempt from CESE payments, which is why no tax has been determined or recorded for the units, for which the exemption is applicable.
When due, the annual expense related to CESE is recognized as a liability and recorded as a cost in the income statement under the line item "Energy sector extraordinary contribution", as at January 1 in accordance with IFRIC 21 - Levies.
Revenue is measured in accordance with the retribution specified in the agreements established with customers and excludes any third-party amount received. This way, the Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a given asset or service to the customer.
The Group's sources of revenue can be detailed as follows:
(i) Cellulosic fibers - In this business area, the Group enters into several supply contracts with private entities for cellulosic fibers with certain characteristics (namely, bleaching level). These are unique performance obligations that are fully satisfied with the delivery of the final product under the agreed conditions (namely, the incoterms agreed with the customer).
(ii) Energy - In this business area, the Group injects electricity into the grid from its cogeneration plants, which is also treated as a one-time performance obligation and revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer.
The Group recognises revenue according to IFRS 15, which sets forth that an entity recognises revenue in order to reflect the transfer of goods and services contracted by customers, in the retribution amount to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive as consideration for delivery of said goods or services, based on the five step model below:
The revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable of the goods and services sold in line with the Group's aforementioned types of business, net of bonuses, discounts (example: commercial discounts and quantity discounts) and taxes.
Commercial agreements with customers basically refer to the sale of goods and, to a limited extent, to shipment inherent to said goods, where applicable, and in accordance with the reported segments. Revenue is recognised by the amount of the performance obligation fulfilled.


Agreements with the Group's customers do not consider variable remunerations nor include significant financing components. In addition, there is no history of amendments to agreements or the combination of agreements.
Current agreements do not comprise additional associated guarantees. Furthermore, the costs of garnering customers are internal, in most cases, since the agreements are garnered by the Group's internal sales team.
The transaction price is a fixed component, according to the quantities sold.
Transfer of control occurs to the same extent the associated risks and benefits are transferred, according to the set contractual conditions. Transfer of control of goods mostly occurs when they are delivered at the customer's premises.
The Group considers the facts and circumstances when analysing the terms of each contract with clients, applying the requirements that determine the recognition and measurement of revenue in a harmonised way, when dealing with contracts with similar characteristics and circumstances.
Revenue related to the provision of services is recognized in accordance with IFRS 15, taking into account that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits generated by the Group.
A customer agreement asset is a right to receive a retribution in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer.
If the Group delivers the goods or provides the services to a customer before the customer pays the retribution or prior to the retribution falling due, the contractual asset corresponds to the conditional retribution amount.
A receivable represents the Group's unconditional right (that is, it only depends on the passage of time until the retribution falls due) to receive the retribution.
A customer agreement liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services for which the Group has received (or is entitled to receive) a retribution from a customer. If the customer pays the retribution before the Group transfers the goods or services, a contractual liability is recorded when payment is made or when it falls due (whichever happens first). Contractual liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group fulfils its contractual performance obligations.
The remaining income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, whereby they are recognised as they are generated regardless of when they are received or paid. The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses generated are recorded under the line items 'Other current assets', 'Other current liabilities', 'Other non-current assets', and 'Other non-current liabilities.'

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were converted to Euro using official currency exchange rates in force on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Favourable and unfavourable currency exchange differences originated by the differences between currency exchange rates applicable on the transaction date and those applicable on the collection date, payments or on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position are recorded as income and expenses in the consolidated income statement for the financial year, except those regarding non-monetary amounts whose change in fair value is recorded directly in Equity.
The events occurring after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position providing additional evidence or information regarding conditions that existed on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the Group's financial statement. Events after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position that are indicative of the conditions that arose after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements.
In each period, the Group identifies the most adequate segment division taking into consideration the business areas in which the Group is present. Operating segment is a group of assets and operations of the Group whose financial information is used in the decision-making process developed by Group management.
The operating segments are presented in these financial statements in the same way as they are presented internally in the analysis of the evolution of the Group's activity.
The report's accounting policies by segments are those consistently used within the Group. Intersegmental sales and service provisions are all shown at market prices, and all these are eliminated on the consolidation process.
As mentioned in Note 38, the Group has identified a single segment.
This category includes assets or groups of assets whose corresponding value is realisable via a sales transaction or distribution or, jointly, as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with these assets that are transferred in the same transaction. Assets and liabilities in this situation are measured at either the corresponding book value or the fair value net of selling costs, whichever is lower.
In order for this situation to occur, the sale needs to be highly likely (expected to be completed within 12 months), and the asset needs to be available for immediate sale or distribution under current conditions; moreover, the Group needs to have committed to said sale or distribution.

Amortization of assets under these conditions ceases from the moment when they are categorised as held for sale or distribution and are shown as current in appropriate lines for assets, liabilities and equity. A discontinued operating facility is a component (operating facilities and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, of the rest of the entity) of an entity that either was disposed of or is categorised as held for sale or distribution, and:
The results of discontinued operating facilities are given as a single amount in the income statement, comprising gains or losses after taxes of the discontinued operating facilities, plus gains or losses after taxes recognised in the fair-value measurement net of selling costs or in the disposal of assets or of one or more group for disposal that constitute the discontinued operating facility.
Balances between continuing operations and discontinued operations are eliminated in the consolidation process. Transactions between continuing operations and discontinued operations are eliminated to the extent that they represent transactions that will no longer be carried out by the Group.
When the Group resolves to distribute a dividend in kind and has an obligation to distribute the related assets and liabilities to its shareholders, it must recognize a liability for the dividend payable.
The liability relating to the liability to pay a dividend must be recognized when the dividend has been duly approved and is no longer subject to the Group's discretion, which corresponds to the date on which the dividend proposal is approved at the General Meeting.
The Group shall measure the liability related to the responsibility for distributing dividends in kind to shareholders at the fair value of the assets and liabilities to be distributed.
When the Group settles the dividend payable, it shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payable. This difference is presented in the consolidated income statement under "Profit after tax from discontinued operations".
If the distribution of net assets results in loss of control, the Group derecognizes the group of assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any Non-controlling Interests and other Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity related to the group of assets and liabilities. In the event that the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, such interest is measured at fair value at the date when control is lost.

Under the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union undertook to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Within this context, an EU Directive was issued, already reviewed, calling for the marketing of so-called 'CO2 emission licenses' - CELE, already transposed to Portuguese law and which, from 1 January 2005, has been applicable to the pulp and paper industry, among others. This mechanism already has four implementation phases, the last of which, corresponding to the period 2021-2030, an intermediate target, included in the EU's strategic plan for climate neutrality by 2050, to reduce emissions attributed to the sectors covered by the ETS by 43% by 2030.
Through the publication of the Decree-law no. 12/2020, of 6 April 2020, the Portuguese Government distributed the "CO2 emission licenses" to the various Portuguese companies affected. As such, Group companies were granted said licenses free of charge for the emission of 86,743 tons of CO2 for the year 2024. If actual emissions exceed the granted 'CO2 emission licenses', the group will have to acquire the missing licenses in the market.
The delivery of "CO2 emission licenses", corresponding to the actual emissions made in a fiscal year, is made according to the historical data of the facilities, and this value may be adjusted annually depending on the level of activity. The values presented by the companies regarding the actual emissions made are subject to verification by an independent entity, duly accredited, in accordance with the applicable requirements.
Considering that these licenses pertain to the year 2024, based on provisional CO2 emission data, no significant expenses are expected for the Group as a result of this legislation coming into force for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the financial statements do not record any environmental liabilities, nor is any environmental contingency disclosed, as the Board of Directors is convinced that, on that date, there are no obligations or contingencies arising from past events resulting in materially relevant expenses for the Altri Group.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the accounting standards in force (Note 2.1), the Group's Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates affecting assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses incurred in relation to the reported periods. All of the estimates and assumptions by the Board of Directors were carried out based on their existing best knowledge, on the date of approval of financial statements, events, and ongoing transactions.
The main judgements and most significant estimates conducted and used in preparing consolidated financial statements include:
a) Determining fair value of biological assets
As mentioned under Note 2.3. i), the fair value of biological assets was determined using an independent assessment carried out by an external entity, in which the Group's Board of Directors recognises competence and objectiveness. In determining the fair value of biological assets, the discounted cash-flow method was used, which considered assumptions corresponding to the nature of assets under evaluation (Note 11). Changes to these assumptions could entail valuations/devaluations of these assets.
ANNUAL REPORT 2024 MANAGEMENT REPORT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES STATUTORY AND AUDITOR'S REPORT REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
Impairment analyses require determining fair value and / or the use value of the assets in question (or of some cash-generating units). This process calls for a high number of relevant judgements, namely estimating future cash flows associated with assets or with the corresponding cash-generating units and determining an appropriate discount rate for obtaining the present value of the aforementioned cash flows. In this regard, the Group once again established the requirement calling for use of the maximum possible amount of observable market data. It further established calculation monitoring mechanisms based on the critical challenge of reasonability of assumptions used, their coherence and consistency (in similar situations) (Note 9).
In stating financial instruments not traded in active markets valuation techniques have been used that were based on discounted cash-flow methods or on market transaction multiples. Fair value of derivative financial instruments is generally determined by the entities from which they were hired (counterparties), being subject to independent validation using Bloomberg valuation models. The Group's Board of Directors recognizes the competence and objectivity of the counterparties (Note 27).
The fair value of the VPPA contract (Virtual Power Purchase Agreement) was determined thorough an independent valuation performed by an external entity, in which the Group's Board of Directors recognises competence and objectiveness. As mentioned in Note 2.3 l), the present value of discounted cash flows method was used to determine its fair value, taking into account assumptions corresponding to the nature of the contract being valued (Note 27).
As mentioned in Note 2.3 d), the Group uses its interest rate incremental to the lease start date, since the interest rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable. Changes in this assumption may imply valuations / devaluations of these assets and liabilities (Note 8).
Liabilities with retirement pensions are estimated based on actuarial assessments conducted by external experts certified by the Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority. Those assessments comprise a set of financial and actuarial assumptions, namely discount rate, as well as tables showing mortality, disability, growth of pensions and wages, among others. The assumptions adopted in determining pension liabilities correspond to the best estimate by the Group's Board of Directors regarding the future behaviour of the aforementioned variables (Note 29).
f) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and intangible fixed assets
As mentioned in Notes 2.3. a) and b), the Group revises the estimated useful lives of its tangible and intangible assets on each reporting date. Assets' useful lives depend on several factors related both to their use and to the Group's strategic decisions, and even to the economic environment of the various companies included in the scope of consolidation.

Estimates and assumptions were determined based on the best available information on the date when consolidated financial statements are prepared and on the basis of the best knowledge and on experience with past and/or current events. However, there are situations that could occur in subsequent periods which, while not foreseeable on that date, were not considered in those estimates. For this reason and given the degree of uncertainty associated, the actual results of the transactions in question may differ from the corresponding estimates. Changes to those estimates, which occur subsequent to the date of the consolidated financial statements, will be corrected in the consolidated income statement on a prospective basis, as provided for under IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors.
Regarding new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions to IFRS, see Note 2.1.
During the financial year, there were no voluntary changes in accounting policies. Likewise, no material errors were recognised in relation to previous financial years.
The Altri Group is basically exposed to: (a) market risk; (b) liquidity risk; (c) credit risk; and (d) capital risk. The risk related to sustainability, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and climate change is addressed in the Group's Management Report. The main objective of the Board of Directors consists of reducing these risks to a level deemed acceptable for carrying on the Group's business. The risk management policy's guiding principles are outlined by Altri's Board of Directors, which determines acceptable risk limits. The operational implementation of the risk management policy is carried out by the Board of Directors and by the Management at each subsidiary company.
The current macroeconomic environment, marked by the geopolitical risks and uncertainties regarding its future evolution, as a result of the combination of several effects, namely the current armed conflicts, poses significant challenges to companies and their operations.
The Board of Directors is monitoring the impacts of the current macroeconomic environment on the Group's chain of operations, ensuring that mitigating measures are implemented to minimize, where possible, the negative effects and uncertainty that threaten global economic stability.
During the year, the Group sought to find solutions to minimize the impacts of the evolution of the macroeconomic environment. Additionally, when it deems necessary, the Group uses derivative instruments in managing its market risks to which it is exposed as a way of guaranteeing their hedging.
For the Altri Group, as part of market risk management, particularly important risks are interest rate risk, currency exchange rate risk, the risk of commodity price variability, the risk related to forest management and to eucalyptus production and the risk of energy price variability risk.

The Group's exposure to the interest rate risk results essentially from Euribor-indexed long-term loans.
The Group uses derivative instruments or similar transactions for the purpose of hedging interest rate risks deemed significant. Three principles are used in selecting and determining interest rate hedging instruments:
Since the Altri Group's major indebtedness is indexed at variable rates, interest rate swaps are used, when such is deemed necessary, as a way to protect against future cash flow changes associated with interest payments. The economic effect of the interest rate swaps put under contract consists of taking the corresponding loans associated with variable rates and converting them to fixed rates. Under these agreements, the Group agrees with third parties (Banks) on the exchange, in pre-set time periods, of the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed rate under contract and at the variable rate of the reset time, in reference to the corresponding notional amounts agreed upon.
The hedging instrument counterparties are limited to credit institutions of high credit quality. It is the Group's policy to favour putting these instruments under contract with banking entities that are part of its financing operations. For the purpose of determining the counterparty in one-time operations, the Altri Group asks for propositions and indicative prices to be submitted to a representative number of banks so as to ensure adequate competitiveness for these operations.
In determining fair value of hedging operations, the Altri Group uses certain methods, such as option assessment models and future cash-flow updating models, while using certain assumptions based on the conditions of prevailing market interest rates on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Comparative quotes from financial institutions, for specific or similar instruments, are used as an assessment benchmark.
The Altri Group's Board of Directors approves the terms and conditions of financing deemed material for the Group. As such, it examines the debt structure, the inherent risks and the different existing options in the market, namely regarding the type of interest rate (fixed/variable).
The Group's goal is to limit cash-flow volatility and results, considering the profile of its operating business by using an appropriate combination of debt to fixed and variable rate. The Group's policy allows using interest rate derivatives in order to reduce exposure to changes in Euribor, not for speculation purposes.

Most derivative instruments used by the Group in managing interest rate risk are established as cashflow hedging instruments, as they provide perfect hedging. The index, calculation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments, and interest rate hedging instrument repayment plans are altogether identical to the conditions set forth for contracted underlying loans.
In the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group's sensitivity to changes in the interest rate benchmark of one percentage point more or less, measured as the change in the financial results, can be analysed as follows, without considering the effect of derivative financial instrument hedging (Note 27) and the fixed rate debt:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses (Note 34) | 26,070,353 | 26,247,858 |
| A 1 p.p. decrease in the interest rate applied to the entire debt |
(4,940,000) | (6,100,000) |
| A 1 p.p. increase in the interest rate applied to the entire debt |
4,940,000 | 6,100,000 |
The sensitivity analysis above was calculated based on the exposure to the existing interest rate on the date ending each financial year. This analysis' basic assumption was that the financing structure (remunerated assets and liabilities) remained stable throughout the year and similar to that shown at the end of every financial year, with the rest remaining constant.
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in transactions regarding the sales of finished products in international markets in a currency other than the Euro.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the balances in Euro expressed in a currency other than the Euro are as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (USD) | (SEK, GBP and CHF) |
(USD) | (SEK, GBP and CHF) |
||
| Receivables | 83,685,865 | 20,341 | 57,517,792 | 20,689 | |
| Payables | (3,842,418) | (113,901) | (4,127,803) | (83,837) | |
| Bank deposits (Note 17) | 25,606,875 | 346,391 | 23,971,313 | 342,687 | |
| 105,450,322 | 252,831 | 77,361,302 | 279,539 |
Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were converted into Euro using the exchange rates in force on the statement of financial position date:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| End of the financial year | End of the financial year | |||
| United States Dollar (USD) | 1.0394 | 1.1051 | ||
| Swedish Krona (SEK) | 11.4544 | 11.0896 | ||
| Pound Sterling (GBP) | 0.8293 | 0.8689 | ||
| Swiss Franc (CHF) | 0.9415 | 0.9257 |
The Group's Board of Directors believes that any changes in foreign exchange rate will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements, both given the dimension of the assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency and given their short maturity.

Whenever the Board of Directors deems necessary, to reduce the volatility of its results to exchange rate variability, exposure is controlled through a term currency purchase and sell programme (forwards) or other foreign exchange derivative instruments (Note 27).
Because it carries out its activity in a sector where commodities (paper pulp) are traded, the Group is particularly exposed to price variations, with the corresponding impact on results. However, to manage this risk, paper pulp price variation hedging agreements were concluded, in the amounts and values deemed suited to the expected operations, thereby mitigating the volatility of their results.
The 5% increase/decrease in the price of pulp marketed by the Altri Group during the financial year ended 31 December 2024 would have entailed an increase/decrease in operating results (Profit before income tax, Financial results and related to investments) of around 35.5 million Euro (32.2 million Euro as at 31 December 2023), without considering the effect of pulp price derivatives (Note 27), and with everything else remaining constant.
Altri, through its subsidiaries, has under its management a forestry estate of about 100.9 thousand hectares, of which eucalyptus accounts for 79%. Most of this forest area is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council – FSC-C004615) and by the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), which set out principles and criteria for assessing the sustainability of forest management from the economic, environmental and social viewpoints.
In this context, all forestry activities are geared towards the optimisation of the available resources, safeguarding the environmental stability and the ecological values present in its assets, and guaranteeing their development.
The risks associated with any forestry activity are also present in the management of the Altri Group. Forest fires, as well as the pests and diseases which can occur in the different forests spread throughout the Portuguese territory are the greatest risks faced by the sector in which it operates. These threats, if they do occur, affect the normal operation of forest holdings and the efficiency of production according to their intensity.
In order to prevent and reduce the impact of forest fires, the Altri Group, through the subsidiary Altri Florestal, is part of a joint venture called Afocelca, in partnership with the Navigator Group, whose purpose is to provide, coordinate and manage the means available for fighting fires. On the other hand, it makes significant investments to clear forest areas, in order to reduce the risks of fire propagation, as well as to reduce possible losses.
The occurrence of pests and diseases can significantly reduce the growth of forest stands, causing irreversible productivity damages. Integrated control procedures have been put in place to combat pests and diseases, either by releasing specific parasitoids from Australia or through the use of plant protection products to control harmful insect populations, and reduce the negative impact of their presence. On the other hand, in the most affected areas, the subsidiary Altri Florestal is using new plantations with more suitable genetic material that, due to their characteristics, are better able to resist against pests and illnesses.
The 5% increase/decrease in the wood buying price during the financial year ended 31 December 2024 would have entailed an increase/decrease in operating results of around 12.2 million Euro (13.3 million Euro as at 31 December 2023), with all the rest remaining constant.

v) Energy price variability risk
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
The Altri Group is exposed to the variability in energy price in the purchase and sale of electricity and in the purchase of natural gas, for purposes relating to its operating activity. To limit fluctuations resulting from energy price variability and hedge exposure to energy price risk, the Altri Group also had in place a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) (derivative contract) in the form of a contract for differences (CFD), and derivative contracts to fix the natural gas and electricity prices, as part of its strategy to hedge against fluctuations in the long-term purchase price of energy.
Under these contracts, the energy is not physically delivered and the Group receives/pays the difference between the fixed price agreed with the supplier of energy and market energy prices (Notes 2.3 l) and 27).
The main objective of the liquidity risk management policy is to ensure that the Group has, at all times, the necessary financial resources to meet its responsibilities and to pursue the strategies outlined in compliance with all its commitments to third parties, as they become due, by adequately managing the maturity of the corresponding loans.
Thus, the Group pursues an active refinancing policy guided by: (i) maintaining a high level of free and readily available resources to address short-term needs; and (ii) extending or maintaining debt maturity according to expected cash flows and the leveraging capability of its statement of financial position.
Liquidity analysis for financial instruments is shown in Note 20.
The Group is exposed to credit risk as part of its current operating activity. This risk is controlled through a qualitative financial information-gathering system. Such information is provided by renowned entities providing risk information, thereby enabling an assessment of customer viability in fulfilling its obligations, with the aim of reducing loan-granting risk.
The credit risk assessment is carried out on a regular basis, taking into account the economic conditions at any given time and the specific credit position of each of the companies, adopting corrective procedures where appropriate.
Credit risk is limited by managing risk combination and careful selection of counterparties as well as by taking out credit insurance with specialised institutions and which cover a significant part of the credit granted as a result of the business carried on by the Group.
Nearly all the sales not covered by credit insurance are covered by other credit enhancements, namely, bank guarantees or documentary credits (Note 13).

The Altri Group's capital structure, determined by the proportion between equity and net debt, is managed so as to make sure its operating activities continue and it carries on its business, while maximising shareholder return and optimising financing expenses.
The Group periodically monitors its capital structure, by identifying risks, opportunities and measured adjustment needs aimed at achieving the aforementioned goals.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Altri Group presents an accounting gearing of 151% and 93%, respectively.
Gearing = total equity / net debt, where net debt is the algebraic sum of the following line items of the consolidated statement of financial position: other loans; bank loans; reimbursable government grants; lease liability and (-) Cash and cash equivalents.
Under the line item "Cash and Cash Equivalents", the Group shows a figure of around 82% of its current liabilities.

The accounting policies of joint ventures and associates do not differ significantly from those of the Altri Group, for which reason there was no need for any harmonization of accounting policies.
During the period ended 31 December 2024 there were no significant changes to the consolidation perimeter compared to 31 December 2023 (Note 4).
Following the reorganisation operation that led to the separation of Altri's two autonomous business units (the cellulosic fiber sector and the electricity generation sector) and the consequent distribution of Greenvolt shares to shareholders, the remaining interest in Greenvolt was recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Altri Group carried out a distribution of Greenvolt shares to its shareholders, followed by a private placement of the remaining shares. Following the conclusion of these operations and as of 31 December 2023, the Altri Group did not hold any interest in Greenvolt's share capital.
In 2023, until the date of completion of these operations in relation to the remaining participation, a reduction of 30.7 million Euro was recognized in the fair value through other comprehensive income of the financial participation that the Altri Group held in Greenvolt.

As at 31 December 2024 and 2023 no financial charges were capitalized.
As at 31 December 2024, acquisitions in the period were mainly made by the three cellulosic fiber production units of the Group (Celbi, Caima and Biotek) and by the subsidiary Altri Florestal. At Caima's production unit the installation of the unit for the recovery and valorization of acetic acid and furfural from renewable sources continues, reusing the steam resulting from the biomass combustion and eliminating the use of fossil fuels in the process. Across the Altri Group's three cellulose fiber production units there is continued investment in reducing environmental impacts and in projects to improve the efficiency of the production process. The Altri Florestal subsidiary continues to invest in land and forestry properties.
At 31 December 2023, acquisitions in the period were mainly made by the three cellulosic fiber production units of the Group (Celbi, Caima and Biotek) and by the subsidiary Altri Florestal. At Celbi's production unit the refurbishment of the wastewater treatment plant (ETARi) was completed, which contributed to a lower level of water consumption, as well as an improvement in the quality of the effluent. At Caima's production unit the first phase of the installation of a new biomass boiler was completed, which enabling the energy recovery of lignocellulosic waste and the recovery and valorization of acetic acid and furfural from renewable sources, reusing the steam resulting from biomass combustion and eliminating the use of fossil fuels in the process. Across the three production units of cellulosic fibers of the Altri Group there was continued investment in reducing environmental impacts, in particular investment in the installation of photovoltaic electricity production units, and in projects to improve the efficiency of the production process. In the subsidiary Altri Florestal the investments in land and forestry properties are maintained.
The disposals and write-offs of equipment in the year refer, essentially, to assets that were practically depreciated.

As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the line item 'Goodwill' was composed of the following:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Celbi | 253,391,251 | 253,391,251 |
| Others | 12,239,722 | 12,239,722 |
| 265,630,973 | 265,630,973 |
Goodwill is entirely associated with the activity under cellulosic fiber production (Note 38). The division of Goodwill between Celbi and Others arises from the Group's history of acquisitions, and basically of acquisition transactions by subsidiaries Celbi (Goodwill shown as 'Celbi'), Biotek and Caima (Goodwill shown as 'Others').

The Goodwill is not depreciated, while impairment tests are performed annually and whenever an event or a change in circumstances is identified as showing that the amount at which the asset is recorded may not be recovered. Whenever the amount at which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised. The recoverable amount is either the net sales price or the value in use, whichever is higher. During the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, no impairment losses pertaining to Goodwill were recorded.
In the 2024 financial year, in order to assess whether or not there was impairment for Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Celbi, S.A. in the 2006 financial year, in the amount of 253,391,251 Euro, the Group evaluated this subsidiary, and concluded that there was no impairment. The evaluation was conducted based on Celbi's historical performance and on an estimated discounted cash flows, on the basis of Celbi's five-year business plan and having considered a medium and longterm sales price of pulp, not influenced by short-term positive or negative fluctuations.
In relation to Goodwill presented in "Others", in order to assess the existence or not of impairment losses with reference to 31 December 2024, the Group also carried out the valuation of the subsidiaries Caima and Biotek, having concluded that there was no impairment at that Goodwill level. The valuations were carried out based on the historical performance of these entities and on an estimate of discounted cash flows based on Caima and Biotek's five-year business plans and considered a medium and long-term sale price of pulp, not influenced by short-term positive or negative fluctuations.
As mentioned under Note 2.4 b), the relevant assumption relates to determining the discount rate. The inflation rate and the growth rate in perpetuity result from the Group's understanding of future perspectives for changing prices and activity.
The main assumptions used in this calculation with reference to 31 December 2024 and 2023 were the following:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.18% |
| Discount rate | 6.45% | 6.74% |
| Growth rate in perpetuity | 2.00% | 2.00% |
The discount rate net of tax (because the cash flows used in the financial projections are also net of tax) used in the financial year ended 31 December 2024 was 6.45% (6.74% in 2023), which was calculated based on the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) methodology, considering the following assumptions:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.36% | 2.03% | |
| Equity risk premium | 4.33% | 4.60% | |
| Debt risk premium | 3.50% | 3.50% |
From this analysis, the Group concluded that there is a comfortable margin relative to the point from which the Goodwill would be at risk of impairment.

The conducted evaluation, calculated for each grove into which the properties are divided, was obtained, considering, in the case of the eucalyptus:
The discount rate used in the financial year ended 31 December 2024 was 4.61% (4.71% as at 31 December 2023).
As of 31 December 2024, the caption "Other changes" relates to fair value variations arising from changes in the sale price and the costs of forest management, maintenance and exploration, in line with inflation.
The Altri Group performed a sensitivity analysis of this evaluation of changes to key assumptions, and concluded that, had it considered a lower/higher discount rate by 1.5 p.p., the figure for biological assets would have risen/dropped by 19.2 million Euro and 15.0 million Euro, respectively.

According to current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits granted, or when inspections, complaints or challenges are in progress, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are extended or suspended. Thus, the Group's tax returns since 2021 may still be subject to review.
The Group's Board of Directors considers that any corrections resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities to those tax returns will not have a material effect on the financial statements as at 31 December 2024 and 2023.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, according to the temporary differences generating them, are detailed as follows:

In 2016, the subsidiary Celbi, S.A. chose to apply the optional Property, plant and equipment revaluation, for tax purposes, and investment property regime, pursuant to Decree-Law no. 66/2016, of 3 November. Within this framework, the constituted revaluation reserve was subject to a 14% autonomous tax rate. It should be pointed out that this amount was paid in full in 2016, 2017, and 2018. In addition, the corresponding depreciation is deductible, for tax purposes, from the 2018 financial year, in order to determine the taxable income. Thus, in the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of around 900,000 Euro and 1,800,000 Euro, respectively. The 2018 financial year was the first year when the subsidiary, for tax purposes, deducted the depreciation of the revaluation performed under said scheme. This revaluation, performed solely for tax purposes, did not impact the book value of fixed assets.

According to the State Budget for 2025 (Law no. 45-A/2024), Corporate Income Tax rates have been reduced by 1%, with the general rate going from 21% to 20% in 2025. As a result, as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the tax rate to be used by companies in Portugal to calculate deferred tax assets relating to tax losses is 20% and 21%, respectively. In the case of positive or negative temporary differences originating in Portuguese companies, the rate to be used is 21.5% and 22.5%, respectively, plus the municipal surtax rate in the companies where payment is expected in the expected reversal periods of the associated deferred taxes. In accordance with the legislation in force in Portugal during the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the state surtax corresponds to the application of an additional rate of 3% on the taxable income between 1.5 and 7.5 million Euro, 5% on the taxable income between 7.5 and 35 million Euro and 9% on the taxable income above 35 million Euro.
Under the terms of article 88 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, the Group is subject to autonomous taxation on a set of charges at the rates provided for in the mentioned article.
For companies or branches located in other countries, the respective rates applicable in each jurisdiction were used. In particular, in relation to the subsidiary Altri, S.L., headquartered in Spain, the rate used in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities was 25% as it is the tax rate in force in that country.
Deferred taxes to be recognised resulting from tax losses are only recorded to the extent where taxable income is likely to occur in the future and which can be used for recovering tax losses or deductible tax differences.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, there are no deferred tax assets related to tax loss carryforwards recognized.
The Board of Directors of Altri Group believes that the remaining deferred tax assets recorded as of 31 December 2024 are fully recoverable.
The detail of the tax losses carried forward that did not generate deferred tax assets is detailed as follows:

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, the amount included under the caption "(Insufficiency)/excess Income tax estimates" relates essentially to the recognition of tax benefits.
In accordance with the Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of the Council of the European Union of 14 December 2022 and the OECD recommendations, the Altri Group belongs to the group of multinational entities that obtain consolidated income of more than 750,000,000 Euro in at least 2 of the last 4 tax years. The Group therefore falls within the scope of Pillar 2, which aims to guarantee a worldwide minimum level of taxation for multinational groups. In order to reduce the complexity of the new reporting obligations, the OECD allows, in the first years of implementation of the Pillar 2 GloBE rules, the application of an initial exclusion phase, effective until 31 December 2028, or, if the Group does not fall within the initial exclusion phase, the application of transitional safe-harbor rules, effective until 31 December 2026.
In view of the legal framework and guidance provided for under Pillar 2 of the OECD's "BEPS 2.0" project, relating to erosion of the tax base and profit shifting, which aims to ensure that all multinational companies (and large national groups) pay a minimum share of tax on profits in each jurisdiction, by applying a minimum profits tax rate of 15%, the Altri Group carried out a preliminary assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar 2 income taxes, with reference to the year ending 31 December 2024.
For a group to be excluded from the implementation of Pillar 2 GloBE rules at an early stage, it must be considered a multinational group of companies at the initial stage of international activity or a large national group. As of 31 December 2024, the Altri Group continuous to meet the criteria for being a multinational group of companies in the initial phase of international activity, since it includes constituent entities located in no more than six jurisdictions (the Altri Group only operates in three jurisdictions: Portugal, Spain and Switzerland) and the sum of the net book value of the tangible assets of all its constituent entities, with the exception of those located in the reference jurisdiction, does not exceed 50,000,000 Euro. Therefore, based on the preliminary assessment carried out, with the support of specialized tax consultants, the Altri Group has concluded that the framework within the initial exclusion phase is maintained, i.e. the supplementary tax due is reduced to zero with reference to 31 December 2024.
Nonetheless, for the following financial years, the Altri Group does not foresee a potential material exposure to Pillar 2 supplementary taxes, as it believes that this would fall under the application of the transitional safe-harbour rules. It should be noted, however, that the assessment of potential exposure to Pillar 2 income taxes was made on the basis of the legislation available at the time. Given the complexity of this matter, the Altri Group will continue to monitor future developments and their potential impacts in all jurisdictions where it operates.

As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, this line item was composed of the following:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables, current account | 117,724,563 | 100,316,751 |

| (184,120) | (187,058) | |
| 117,570,631 | 100,162,819 |
The Group's exposure to credit risk is attributable first and foremost to receivables from its operating activity. The amounts given in the statement of financial position are net of accumulated impairment losses that were estimated by the Group. The Board of Directors believes that the book values receivable are close to their fair value, since these accounts' receivable do not pay interests and the discount effect is deemed immaterial.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the ageing of the net trade receivables balance amount can be analysed as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Not due | 98,579,189 | 83,364,930 |

| + 90 days | 116,112 | 89,776 |
| 117,570,631 | 100,162,819 |
The Group contracted credit insurances and other credit enhancements in order to cover the risk of uncollectability on the part of these trade receivables, as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| With credit insurance and other credit enhancements | 92,398,584 | 74,586,535 |
| With no credit insurance and other credit enhancements | 25,172,047 | 25,576,284 |
| 117,570,631 | 100,162,819 |
The Group does not charge any interest while set payment terms (60 days, on average) are being complied with. Upon expiry of said terms, contractually set interest is charged under legislation in force and as applicable to each situation. This will tend to occur only in extreme situations.
The Board of Directors understands that receivables not fallen due shall be realised in their entirety, considering the history of uncollectability and the characteristics of the counterparties. In addition, with the adoption of IFRS 9, the Group calculates expected impairment losses for its receivables in accordance with the criteria disclosed under Note 2.3 l).

As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the net balance amount under 'Other receivables' did not fall due. Receivables not fallen due show no sign of impairment, as the book value of net impairment assets is deemed to be close to their fair value, and the effect of their financial discount is immaterial.
The Board of Directors understands that receivables not fallen due shall be realised in their entirety, considering the history of uncollectability and the characteristics of the counterparties. In addition, the Group calculates expected impairment losses for its receivables in accordance with the criteria disclosed under Note 2.3 l).

During the financial year ended 31 December 2013, the subsidiary Caima, S.A. paid an additional settlement of Value-Added Tax for previous years to German tax authorities, in the amount of 2,722,651 Euro, which was recorded under the line item 'Other non-current assets' due to not agreeing with the basics of said settlement. During the month of January 2014, it made an additional Value-Added Tax payment to the same entities, in the amount of around 700,000 Euro. To address the risk of those additional settlements becoming definitive, in 2013 the Altri Group recorded a liability under the line item 'Provisions.'
At 31 December 2022, as a result of the favourable opinion obtained by the subsidiary by court decision regarding the year 2007, the amount of approximately 1,261,000 Euro was received, which includes the reversal of the provision occurred on 31 December 2021, in the amount of approximately 937,000 Euro, as well as the effect of compensatory interest in the amount of approximately 324,000 Euro.
As at 31 December 2023, taking into account the unfavourable outcome by court decision year for the remaining open years, were recognized in the caption "Provisions" the amounts of, approximately, 1,300,000 Euro, under "Increases" and approximately 3,100,000 Euro under "Utilizations". As a result of the same proceeding, the entire account receivable that were recorded under "Other non-current assets" was also derecognized.

At the end of the 2024 financial year, Biotek, S.A. ("Biotek), subsidiary of the Altri Group, was notified of a Request for Arbitration filed by a client with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), requesting the establishment of a Court of Arbitration to settle a dispute between the parties. The basis of the request is a discrepancy in the quantities of pulp supplied. The Altri Group, duly supported by its legal advisors, considers that the client's understanding lacks any foundation and has submitted the appropriate response, having already presented the main arguments, with the appropriate justification. It is therefore the understanding of the Board of Directors of the Altri Group, based on the information available, current and known at the time, supported by the analysis of its legal advisors, that there will be no payment of any amount, which is why it has not recorded any provision.
The remaining amount recorded under the line item 'Provisions' as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 is the best estimate from the Board of Directors in order to address the entirety of losses to be incurred with currently ongoing legal proceedings.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, this line item fully concerns the tranches of non-refundable investment subsidies (Notes 20 and 26), which was detailed as follows:

In January 2007, Celbi and Altri signed an agreement granting financial and fiscal incentives under Decree-Law no. 203/2003, of 10 September, with Agência para o Investimento e Comércio Externo de Portugal, E.P.E. (AICEP), as the Portuguese Government considered this project to be of national interest (PNI), to expand Celbi's production capacity. In 2015, the competent authorities felt that the project's objectives and merits had been achieved, with an achievement premium attributed in the amount of 41,315,930 Euro. Celbi classified that amount under 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' (Note 26) net of the amount that has been recognised directly as income in the income statement (Note 32) in the proportion of the already depreciated part of the subsidised property, plant and equipment according to the accounting policy under Note 2.3 e).
In January 2014, Celbi signed a new agreement granting financial and fiscal incentives under Decree-Law no. 203/2003, of 10 September, with Agência para o Investimento e Comércio Externo de Portugal, E.P.E. (AICEP), as the project to modernise and expand the production plant was considered by the Portuguese Government to be relevant and of strategic interest to the domestic economy. If Celbi fulfilled the proposed objectives and measures at the end of the years 2016, 2017 and 2019, the Portuguese Government would also grant an Accomplishment Premium, which will correspond to non-refund up to 75% of the refundable incentive amount. In 2021, AICEP, following the Compete Steering Committee's decision, and given that the main objectives, merits, and constraints have been met, approved the closure of the project, awarding a global achievement award of 4,367,689 Euro. Celbi classified that amount under 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' net of the amount that has been recognised directly as profit in the income statement (Note 32) in the proportion of the already depreciated part of the subsidised property, plant and equipment according to the accounting policy under Note 2.3 e).
In the 2014 financial year, Caima signed a financial and fiscal incentive-granting agreement under Decree-Law no. 287/2007 with Agência para o Investimento e Comércio Externo de Portugal E.P.E. (AICEP) for an overall investment of 35,161,000 Euro. If Caima fulfilled the proposed objectives and measures at the end of the years 2016, 2017 and 2019, the Portuguese Government would also grant an Accomplishment Premium, which would correspond to non-refund up to 48% of the refundable incentive amount. Such objectives, measured with reference to the year 2019, have been met by the subsidiary, so Caima has received the amount of 5,043,991 Euro pertaining to the Achievement Premium, which is recorded under non-current liability net of the amount that has been recognised directly as profit in the income statement (Note 32) in the proportion of the already depreciated part of the subsidised property, plant and equipment according to the accounting policy under Note 2.3 e).
In October 2022, a consortium contract was signed, consisting of fifty-seven entities, to carry out a mobilizing research and technological development project entitled "TransForm", under the Sistema de Incentivos à Investigação e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico (SI I&DT) - Programas Mobilizadores – Clusters de Competitividade and other collective dynamics, as part of the Agenda for the digital transformation of forestry value chains into a more resilient and low-carbon Portuguese economy, supported by the Recovery and Resilience Plan ("PRR"). In December 2022, following the application submitted to the Incentive System "Agendas para a Inovação Empresarial", Altri Florestal, as leader of the consortium, signed the respective Term of Acceptance. The global eligible investment is 129,259,946 Euro. The project should be completed and with results achieved by 31 December 2025. The Altri Group's eligible investment amounts to approximately 50 million Euro, corresponding to a potential non-refundable incentive of approximately 15 million Euro, of which 3.5 million Euro have already been received as an advance and 7.8 million Euro by way of payment requests.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, Altri and its subsidiaries had in force derivative financial instrument contracts associated with hedging changes in interest rate, exchange rate, pulp price, energy price and trading derivative financial instruments associated with exchange rate. The Altri Group also had in place a long-term renewable energy purchase agreement (VPPA - Virtual Power Purchase Agreement), in the form of a CfD (Contract for differences), as part of the strategy to hedge against fluctuations in the long-term purchase price of energy. All these instruments are recorded according to their fair value.
The Altri Group only uses, essentially, derivatives to hedge cash flows associated with operations generated by their activity.

During the 2024 and 2023 financial years, the gains and losses associated with the ineffective part of the hedging instruments were directly recorded in the income statement for financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 (Notes 32, 33 and 34).
In order to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility, the Group has issued debt indexed to fixedrate and entered into derivative financial instruments, namely, interest rate swaps. These contracts were valued at their fair value as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the corresponding amount was recognised under 'Derivative financial instruments.'
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Altri Group had in force interest rate derivative contracts whose total amounts are as follows:
| Fair Value | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Amount | Maturity | Interest | Fixing | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 |
| Interest rate swap | 5.000.000 € | 16/04/2025 Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.820% | 56,240 | 186,362 | |

| Interest rate swap | 20.000.000 € | 14/07/2027 Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.027% | 1,393,377 | 2,019,026 | |
| Interest rate swap | 20.000.000 € | 14/07/2027 Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | (0.060)% | 1,444,877 | 2,086,523 | |
| Interest rate swap | 50.000.000 € | 23/11/2028 Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 2.600% | (712,112) | (167,868) | |
| 2,351,902 | 4,683,188 |
In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these derivatives comply with the requirements to be classified as interest rate hedging instruments (Note 2.3 l).
The fair value of the derivatives contracted by the Group was calculated by the respective counterparties (financial institutions with whom such contracts were entered into). These derivatives' assessment model, as used by the counterparties, is based on the discounted cash-flow method, i.e., using Swap Par Rates, which are listed on the interbank market and available on the Reuters and/or Bloomberg web pages, for relevant periods, while calculating the respective forward rates and discount factors that serve to discount fixed cash flows (fixed leg) and variable cash flows (variable leg). The sum of the two instalments results in the Net Present Value of the future cash flows or fair value of the derivatives.
Finally, it should be noted that on 31 December 2024, Altri Group had about 15% (12% as of 31 December 2023) of its gross nominal financial debt issued at a fixed rate, having, in addition, contracted interest rate swaps - in which the Euribor (6M) index is exchanged for a fixed rate - on a global notional of 104.1 million Euro, associated with the Bond Loans "Altri 2017/2025", "Celbi 2017/2027" and "Green Bonds Caima 2023-2028". These interest rate swaps, entered into by Management's decision in June 2018, November 2021 and December 2023, correspond to approximately 21% of the gross nominal financial debt issued. Therefore, with reference to 31 December 2024, 64% of the Altri Group's gross financial debt was indexed to a variable rate (71% as of 31 December 2023).
The Altri Group essentially uses exchange rate derivatives to hedge future cash flows.
Indeed, a significant part of the Group's sales are made in United States dollars. Accordingly, changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate can significantly affect the Group's results.

In order to monitor and mitigate this risk, Altri Group permanently analyses its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, assessing the evolution of the EUR/USD spot price, as well as its forward rates, defining and implementing strategies hedging whenever it deems convenient. These strategies are based on a policy of hedging foreign exchange risk previously defined by the Executive Committee and which consists of covering part of the cash flows resulting from its estimated sales.
In 2023, the Executive Committee defined a hedging mandate, for fiscal year 2024, of up to about 20% of the total estimated sales of BHKP pulp and up to about 51% of the total estimated sales for the DWP pulp. This mandate is based on the contracting of Asian-style put and call options on the United States dollar (average rate collars) on a monthly basis and with a 12-month time horizon (from January 2024 to December 2024).
For shorter time horizons (up to 90 days), the Group favours the use of foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the risk of unfavourable developments in the EUR/USD exchange rate. Although these instruments are effective economic risks hedging instruments, they do not qualify as hedging instruments under the applicable accounting standards. These instruments are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value and changes in them are recognized under financial income or financial expenses in the consolidated income statement (Note 34).
Thus, during the 2024 and 2023 financial years, the Altri Group contracted exchange rate 'options' and 'forwards' in U.S. dollars, to manage the exchange rate risk to which it is exposed.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Altri Group had in force the following exchange rate derivative agreements:

In order to reduce its exposure to the volatility of the pulp price, the Group contracted pulp price hedging derivatives, which were valued according to their fair value at 31 December 2024, and the corresponding amount was recognized in the caption "Derivative financial instruments".
On 31 December 2024 and 2023 the following pulp price hedging derivative contracts were in place:
| Covered quantity | Start date | Maturity | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | ||

The calculation of the fair value of derivatives to hedge the pulp price contracted by the Group was made by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative evaluation model, used by the counterparts, is based on the Discounted Cash Flows Method, i.e., the difference between the estimated pulp price (PIX) and the price fixed for the relevant periods is calculated, which is subsequently updated to the evaluation date.
In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these pulp derivatives meet the requirements to be considered as hedging instruments, so the change in their fair value was recorded in the equity caption "Hedging reserves".
In order to mitigate exposure to the increasing volatility of energy prices, the Group contracted energy (electricity and natural gas) price hedging derivatives, which were valued according to their fair value on 31 December 2024, with the corresponding amount recognized in the caption "Derivative financial instruments".
On 31 December 2024 and 2023 the following energy price hedging derivative contracts were in place:

The calculation of the fair value of energy price hedging derivatives, contracted by the Group, was performed by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative evaluation model, used by the counterparts, is based on the Discounted Cash Flows Method, i.e., the difference between the estimated energy price and the fixed price for the relevant periods is calculated, and then discounted to the evaluation date.
As mentioned in notes 2.3 l) and 3. a) v), as part of its strategy to hedge against fluctuations in the long-term purchase price of energy, the Group has contracted derivatives to hedge the price of electricity.

| As at 31 December 2024, the Altri Group had in force a VPPA contract of which total amounts are as | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| follows: |
| Covered quantity (in MWh) |
Average fixed price (€/MWh) |
Maturity |
|---|---|---|
| 4,231 | 37.90 | Up to 1 month |

The fair value of this derivative, classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, since the main inputs are not observable on the market, was determined using an external entity, based on an income approach, i.e. the discounted cash flow method.
Forecasted future cash flows are discounted using risk free interest rates adjusted by credit risk of each party of the contract. Credit risk are based on observable Credit Default Swaps (CDS) for the sectors in which each Group operates. Forecasted future cash flows correspond to the difference between the fixed price of the contract and the future floating price of energy, adjusted by inflation.
The future floating price for energy is observable and liquid for the first two years. For the following years, a price forecast from an external provider is used. The Group selects the central scenario from a range of scenarios provided.
The expected volume of production is also an unobservable input into the valuation model due to the potential for change over time. It is assumed, at 31 December 2024, that the production volume will be equal to P50 scenario prepared by the owner of the solar farm.
The sensitivity analysis prepared by the Group for the unobservable prices indicated that increase/ decrease of energy price by 10 Euro / MWh in the forecasted energy prices would change the fair value of derivatives respectively by more/less 5.7 million Euro, respectively as at 31 December 2024 (6.1 million Euro as at 31 December 2023).
The sensitivity analysis prepared by the Group for the unobservable volume indicated that increase/ decrease of volume by 10% would change the fair value of derivatives, respectively, by less/more 0.5 million Euro as at 31 December 2024 (0.1 million Euro as at 31 December 2023).
IFRS 9 requires an entity to defer the difference between the fair value at initial recognition of a financial instrument and its transaction price if the fair value is not evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. The deferred amounts are recognised in the consolidated income statement when there is a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability. On this basis, the Group has adopted a policy of amortising the deferred amount on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract. Any outstanding amount would be immediately recognised in the consolidated income statement when the instrument is derecognised or when the inputs become fully observable.

As at 31 December 2024, the contractual obligation for the acquisitions of fixed assets assumed by the Altri Group companies reach around 45,400,000 Euro (26,800,000 Euro as at 31 December 2023).
As at 31 December 2024, future commitments are essentially related to the acquisition of manufacturing equipment, essentially, for the renewable-based acetic acid and furfural recovery and valorization unit at Caima industrial unit, and for the continuation of the project for the total migration of paper pulp production (BHKP) to dissolving pulp, at the Biotek industrial unit, with the increase compared to the previous year being explained by the commitments assumed with the latter.

Some companies of the Altri Group comprise commitments related to expenses with retirement funds that were hedged in the amount of the autonomous pension funds. Net liabilities not hedged are recognised pursuant to IAS 19, and were broken down as follows.
The Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund, constituted by deed on 31 December 1987 and merged by 'BPI Pensões - Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Pensões, S.A.', for the purpose of assuring workers (i) at the normal retirement date, or (ii) at the contractual termination of the employment agreement with the Company, that are at least 57 years old and with 10 years of continuous service; the right to a retirement supplement, from the normal retirement age, whose amount is based on average gross salaries of the last two years working for the company. By decision of the Management of Caima, the Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund was divided into two separate funds in December 1998, after authorisation from the Portuguese Insurance Institute. During the financial year ended 31 December 2010, Caima and Altri Florestal transferred the shares of the collective subscriptions held with BPI Pensões to the Tejo Pension Fund. This transfer was requested by the Portuguese Insurance Institute on 23 September 2010, which decided favourably on 3 March 2011. Thus, in April 2011, Altri Florestal and Caima pension fund assets were incorporated into the Tejo Pension Fund, bearing the name Pension Plan C.
The Tejo Pension Fund was constituted by Biotek on 28 February 2005, in order to finance, among others, the Pension Plan arising from Company Regulations and Agreements applicable to Associates. An agreement concluded with trade unions in 2007 created a new Pension Plan applicable to every worker hired after 1 September 2007, the date when the new agreement came into force, as well as to every worker hired prior to that date and who expressly choose the new Pension Plan. Thus, the Tejo Pension Fund started financing the benefits established under three Pension Plans provided for under the Regulation published in a Service Order in 2002, as well as the benefits set forth in the new Pension Plan, which became known as Pension Plan B, as defined in the Company Agreement published in the BTE, no. 32, of 29/08/2007. From the 2009 financial year, Pension Plan B started applying to every employee in Biotek's assets, while the other Pension Plans started hedging the liabilities pertaining to every former employee whose contract termination has considered a right to a pension, according to the benefits established under every Pension Plans.
A new defined contribution Pension Plan was created on 1 May 2014, integrated in the Tejo Pension Fund under the name CD Pension Plan, and applicable to every employee in the asset of the three Associates: Biotek, Caima and Altri Florestal. Employee hired by 30 April 2014 were given the right to choose to subscribe to the new CD Pension Plan ,upon resignation by expressly and definitively the defined benefit Pension Plan, under the following conditions: (a) Biotek employees who were active on 30 April 2014 with an open-ended contract were given the option to choose whether or not to move to the defined contribution plan, (b) in the case of Caima and Altri Florestal, the right to choose was given only to employees who, on 30 April 2014, had an open-ended contract, a period of service of at least 10 years, and aged 57 or older. Thus, the Tejo Pension Fund started funding the liabilities of five Pension Plans, of which four were the defined benefit, and whose liabilities tend to expire, as well as a defined contribution Pension Plan, whose contributions vary annually according to the Altri Group's results and are granted to every employee in each Associate, according to the respective pensionable salaries and service time.

From 2014, Celbi grants its employees under a subordinate open-ended contract a defined contribution pension plan. Under this plan, Celbi grants every employee on the permanent staff a percentage of their pensionable salary according to their service time. The contribution to the Pension Fund varies annually according to the Altri Group's results. Contributions they make are accounted for as an expense in the financial year, and no longer entail liabilities for future benefits related to the Pension Fund.
The defined benefit plans are not contributory for those taking part therein.

The amount recognised as an expense, regarding the benefits of a set contribution, in the financial statements of the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 came to around 257,000 Euro and 666,000 Euro, respectively.

Altri has signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Greenalia Forest and Greenalia Logistics from Smarttia, taking a strategic step in consolidating its presence in Galicia. Although it was signed during the 2024 financial year, the completion of this acquisition is subject to the verification of a set of preconditions, which is the usual procedure in transactions of this nature, a process which is expected to be completed during the 2025 financial year.
In March 2025, the Xunta de Galicia, through its Environmental Council, published a favorable Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) for the Gama project. Although additional permits are required, the DIA represents an important milestone, as it assesses the project as complying with the environmental regulations in force.
From 31 December 2024 to the date of issue of this report, there were no other relevant facts that could materially affect the financial position and future results of the Altri Group and its subsidiary, joint ventures and associates included in the consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU), some of which may not conform or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.

ALTRI, SGPS, S.A. ("Altri" or "the Company") is a public limited company incorporated on 1 February 2005, whose headquarters is located at Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818, in Porto, and its main activity involves managing shareholdings (Note 4), with shares listed at Euronext Lisbon.
Altri is the parent company of the group of companies named Altri Group, and its main activity is the management of investments mainly in the industrial area. The current activity of Altri Group focuses on the production of cellulosic fibers through three production units.
The Altri Group's financial statements are shown in Euro, in amounts rounded off to the nearest Euro. This is the currency used by the Group in its transactions and, as such, is deemed to be the functional currency.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 3 April 2025. Its final approval is still subject to agreement from the Shareholders' General Meeting. The Company and the Board of Directors expect the same to be approved with no significant changes.
The material accounting policies adopted in preparing the attached financial statements are described below. These policies were consistently applied during the periods being compared.
In addition, there were no significant changes to the main estimates used by the Company in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The attached financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS-EU") in force for the fiscal year beginning on 1 January 2024. These correspond to the International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ('IFRS - IC') or by the former Standing Interpretations Committee ('SIC'), which have been adopted by the European Union on the account publication date.
The Board of Directors assessed the capacity of the Company to operate on a going concern basis, based on the entire relevant information, facts and circumstances, of a financial, commercial or other nature, including events subsequent to the financial statements' reference date, as available regarding the future. As a result of the assessment conducted, the Board of Directors concluded that it has adequate resources to keep up its operations, which it does not intend to cease in the short term; therefore, it was considered appropriate to use the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The attached financial statements were prepared from the accounting books and records of the Company, in the assumption of going concern basis. The attached financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, which were measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS-EU calls for the use of estimates, assumptions and critical judgements in the process of determining the accounting policies to be adopted by the Company, with significant impact on the book value of assets and liabilities, as well as on income and expenses for the period. Although these estimates are based on the best experience of the Board of Directors and on its best expectations regarding current and future events and actions, current and future results may differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas with significant assumptions and estimates are presented in Note 2.3.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair-value measurement is categorised in three levels (Level 1, 2 and 3), taking into account, among others, whether the data used is observable in an active market, as well as their meaning in terms of valuing assets / liabilities or disclosing them.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability can be settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties, in a transaction not involving a relationship between them, regardless whether this price can be directly observable or estimated, using other valuation techniques. When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company considers the features that market participants would also take into account when valuing the asset or liability on the measurement date.
Assets measured at fair value following initial recognition are grouped into 3 levels according to the possibility of observing their fair value in the market:
Level 1: fair value is determined based on active market prices for identical assets/liabilities;
Level 2: fair value is determined based on evaluation techniques. The assessment models' main inputs are observable in the market; and
Level 3: fair value is determined based on assessment models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.
(i) Adoption of new standards and interpretations, amendments, or reviews
Up to the date for approving these financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following accounting standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions, mandatorily applied to the financial year beginning on 1 January 2024:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years initiated in or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of liabilities as current and non-current and Non-current liabilities with covenants |
1-Jan-24 | These amendments clarify the existing guidelines in IAS 1 regarding the classification of financial liabilities between current and non current, clarifying that the classification should be measured according to an entity's right to defer payment at the end of each reporting period. In particular, the amendments (i) clarify the concept of 'settlement' by stating that if an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with future covenants, the entity has the right to defer settlement of the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) clarify that the classification of liabilities is not affected by the entity's expectation (based on whether or not the right exists, and should disregard any probability of exercising or not exercising such right), or by events occurring after the reporting date, such as non compliance with a covenant. If the right to defer settlement for at least twelve months is subject to certain conditions being met after the balance sheet date, these criteria do not affect the right to defer settlement for the purpose of classifying a liability as current or non-current. This amendment applies retrospectively. |

| Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: Supplier finance arrangements |
1-Jan-24 | These amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures aim to clarify the characteristics of a supplier finance arrangement, and introduce additional disclosure requirements when such arrangements exist. The disclosure requirements are intended to help users of financial statements understand the effects of supplier finance arrangements on the entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. This amendment applies retrospectively. |
||||||
| Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease liabilities in sale and leaseback transactions |
1-Jan-24 | This amendment to IFRS 16 Leases introduces guidance on the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities related to sale and leaseback transactions that qualify as a "sale" in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15, with greater impact when some or all of the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. In the subsequent measurement of the lease liability, the seller lessee must determine the "lease payments" and "revised lease payments" in such a way that they do not recognize gains/(losses) in relation to the right of use they retain. This amendment is retrospective. |
There were no significant effects on the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, from the adoption of the above standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions.
(ii) Standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions that will have mandatory application in future economic exercises
On the approval date of these financial statements, the following accounting standards and interpretations, to be mandatorily applied in future financial years, were endorsed by the European Union:

| Amendments to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability |
1-Jan-25 | This amendment aims to clarify how to assess the exchangeability of a currency, and how the exchange rate should be determined when it is not exchangeable for a long period. The amendment specifies that a currency should be considered exchangeable when an entity is able to obtain the other currency within a period that allows for normal administrative management, and through an exchange or market mechanism in which an exchange transaction creates enforceable rights and obligations. If a currency cannot be exchanged for another currency, an entity must estimate the exchange rate at the measurement date of the transaction. The objective is to determine the exchange rate that would be applicable on the measurement date for a similar transaction between market participants. The amendments also state that an entity can use an observable exchange rate without making any adjustment. Early adoption is permitted, but the transition requirements applied must be disclosed. |
This amendment, although endorsed by the European Union, was not adopted by the Company in 2024, because its application is not yet mandatory. It is not expected that the future adoption of this amendment will have significant impacts on the financial statements.

| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments |
1-Jan-26 | These changes are essentially the result of the Post Implementation Review (PIR) of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and clarify the following aspects relating to financial instruments: • It clarifies that a financial liability is derecognized on the "settlement date", i.e. when the related obligation is settled, cancelled, expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. However, it introduces the possibility of an entity choosing to adopt an accounting policy that allows it to derecognize a financial liability that is settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, provided that certain conditions are met. • Clarifies how an entity should assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include variables relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and other similar contingent characteristics. • It requires additional disclosures for financial assets and liabilities subject to a contingent event (including ESG variables) and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is retrospective. However, an entity is not obliged to restate the comparative period, and the potential impacts of applying this amendment are recognized in retained earnings in the year in which the amendment is applicable. |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts negotiated with reference to electricity generated from renewable sources |
1-Jan-26 | The amendments refer specifically to renewable energy purchase agreements whose source of production is dependent on nature, so that supply cannot be guaranteed at specific times or volumes. In this sense, these amendments clarify the application of the "own use" requirements in power purchase agreements, as well as the fact that it is permitted to apply hedge accounting when these contracts are used as hedging instruments. Early application is permitted, except for the guidelines on hedge accounting which must be applied prospectively to new hedging |

| 1-Jan-26 | Improvements are made on a regular basis to clarify and simplify the application of international standards, through minor changes that are not considered urgent. The main changes included in this volume are: • IFRS 1 (Hedge accounting on first-time adoption of IFRS standards): This amendment aims to update the cross-references in paragraphs B5 and B6 of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, to the hedge accounting eligibility criteria in IFRS 9 for paragraphs 6.4.1(a), (b) and (c). • IFRS 7 (Gain or loss on derecognition): This amendment aims to update the language relating to unobservable market data included in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, as well as adding references to paragraphs 72 and 73 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. • IFRS 7 (Implementation guidance): Several paragraphs relating to the implementation guidance of IFRS 7 have been amended for consistency and clarity. • IFRS 9 (Derecognition of lease liabilities): This amendment clarifies that when a financial liability is extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee should apply paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9 and recognize the gain or loss that results from that derecognition. • IFRS 9 (Transaction price): With this amendment the reference to "transaction price" in paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 is replaced by "amount determined by applying IFRS 15". • IFRS 10 (Determination of 'de facto' agent): Amendment made to paragraph B74 of IFRS 10, which clarifies that the relationship described in that paragraph is only one example of several possible between the investor and other parties acting as 'de facto' agents. The aim of this amendment is to remove the inconsistency with the requirement in paragraph B73 that an entity should use its judgment in assessing whether other parties can act as 'de facto' agents. • IAS 7 (Cost method): Replacement of the term "cost method" with "at cost" in paragraph 37 of IAS 7 following the elimination of the definition of "cost method". Early application is permitted. |

| IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosure in 1-Jan-27 financial statements |
IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and comes in response to requests from investors looking for information on financial performance. With the introduction of the new requirements of IFRS 18, investors will have access to more transparent and comparable information on the financial performance of companies, with the aim of making better investment decisions. |

| IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries not subject to public 1-Jan-27 reporting: Disclosures |
IFRS 19 allows eligible entities to prepare IFRS financial statements with lower disclosure requirements than those required by the IFRS, while maintaining the obligation to apply all the measurement and recognition requirements of the IFRS. The reduction in disclosures defined by IFRS 19 covers most IFRS standards. Eligible entities are those that: (i) are subsidiaries of a group that prepares consolidated financial statements in IFRS for public disclosure; and (ii) are not subject to the obligation to publicly disclose financial information, because they do not have listed debt or equity securities, are not in the process of being listed, nor have as their main activity the safekeeping of assets in a fiduciary capacity. Application is optional. Early application is permitted. Early adopters must disclose and align disclosures in the comparative period with those in the current period. |
These standards are yet to be endorsed by the European Union. As such, they were not applied by the Company in the fiscal year ended 31 December 2024.
Regarding these standards and interpretations, as issued by the IASB but yet to be endorsed by the European Union, it is not believed that their future adoption will entail significant impacts on the attached financial statements.
The main recognition and measurement criteria used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are recognised only if they are likely to result in future economic benefits for the Company, if they can be controlled by the Company, and if their value can be reasonably measured.
When acquired individually, intangible assets are recognized at cost, which comprises: i) the purchase price, including intellectual rights costs and fees after deducting any discounts; and ii) any cost directly attributable to its preparation for its intended use.
Research expenses incurred with new technical knowledge are acknowledged in the income statement when incurred. Development expenses for which the Company is shown as being able to complete its development and begin its sell and/or use and relative to which the created asset is likely to generate future economic benefits, are capitalised. Development expenses that do not meet these criteria are recorded as cost in the period in which they are incurred.
Internal expenses associated with software maintenance and development are recorded as costs in the income statement when incurred, except when said costs are directly associated with projects for which future economic benefits are likely to be generated for the Company. In such situations, costs are capitalised as intangible assets.
After the assets are available for use, amortisations are calculated using the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated useful life period (generally 3 to 5 years).
ANNUAL REPORT 2024 MANAGEMENT REPORT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES STATUTORY AND AUDITOR'S REPORT REPORT AND OPINION OF THE STATUTORY AUDIT BOARD
Property, Plant and Equipment that correspond, mainly, to the property acquired in 2018 to install the Company's head office and administrative equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, net of the corresponding depreciation as well as accumulated impairment losses.
The acquisition cost includes the purchase price of the asset, expenses directly attributable to its acquisition and costs incurred in preparing the asset to be ready for its intended use. Financial costs incurred on loans obtained for the construction of qualifying tangible assets are recognized as part of the construction cost of the asset.
After the date when the assets are available for use, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated useful life period for each group of assets.
Depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful life periods:
SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and other edifications | 50 |
| Office equipment | 3 to 10 |
| Vehicles | 4 to 8 |
Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the assets' useful life or result in significant upgrades or improvements to components of property, plant and equipment are recorded as an expense in the fiscal year when they are incurred.
Property, Plant and Equipment in progress represent fixed assets still under construction, and are recorded at acquisition cost net of any impairment losses. These fixed assets are depreciated from the moment the underlying assets are ready to be used.
Gains or losses resulting from the sale or write-off of the tangible fixed asset are determined as the difference between the sales price and the net book value on the disposal or write-off date. They are recorded in the income statement under the line items "Other income" or "Other expenses."
At the start of every agreement, the Company assesses whether the agreement is, or contains, a lease. That is, whether the right of use of a specific asset or assets is being transferred for a certain period of time in exchange for a payment.
The Company applies the same recognition and measurement method to every lease, except for short-term leases and leases associated with low-value assets. The Company recognises a liability relative to lease payments and an asset identified as a right of use of the underlying asset.

On the lease start date (that is, the date from which the asset is available for use), the Company recognises an asset relative to the right of use. 'Right-of-use assets' are measured at cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted by remeasuring lease liability. The cost comprises the initial value of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made on or prior to the start date, on top of any initial direct costs incurred, as well as a cost estimate for dismantling and removing the underlying asset (as applicable), net of any incentive granted (as applicable).
The right-of-use asset is depreciated in twelfths, using the straight-line depreciation method, based on the lease term.
If ownership of the asset is transferred to the Company at the end of the lease period, or the cost includes a purchase option, depreciation are calculated by taking into account the asset's estimated useful life.
On the lease start date, the Company recognises a liability measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made throughout the agreement. Lease payments included in measuring lease liability include fixed payments, net of any incentives already received (where applicable) and variable payments associated with an index or rate. Where applicable, payments also include the cost of exercising a purchase option, which shall be exercised by the Company with reasonable certainty, and payments of penalties for ending the agreement, if the lease terms reflect the Company's exercising option.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when changes occur to future payments derived from a change to the rate or index, as well as possible modifications to the lease agreements.
Variable payments not associated with any indices or rates are recognised as an expense during the financial year, in the period when the event or condition leading to the payment occurs.
To calculate the present value of future lease payments, the Company uses its incremental interest rate on the lease start date, since the interest rate implicit in the agreement cannot be readily determined. After that date, the lease liability amount is increased by adding interest and reduced by lease payments made. In addition, the amount is remeasured in the event of a change in the terms of the agreement, the in lease amounts (e.g., changes in future payments caused by a change to an index or rate used in determining said payments) or a change in the assessment of a purchase option associated with the underlying asset.
The Company applies the recognition exemption to its assets' short-term leases (i.e., leases lasting up to 12 months and not containing a purchase option). The Company also applies the recognition exemption to leases of assets deemed to be of low value. Payments of short-term and low-value leases are recognised as an expense in the financial year, throughout the lease period.


The Company's asset impairment is assessed on the date of every statement of financial position and whenever there is an event or change in circumstances indicating that the amount for which the asset is recorded might not be recoverable.
Whenever the amount for which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the income statement under the line item 'Provisions and impairment losses.'
The recoverable amount is either the net sales price or the value in use, whichever is higher. The net sales price is the amount that would be obtained from the asset's disposal, in a transaction between independent knowledgeable entities, net of the costs directly attributable to the disposal. The use value is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to arise from the continuous use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The reversal of impairment losses recognised in previous financial years is recorded when it is concluded that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or has decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement under the line item 'Provisions and impairment losses'. This reversal of the impairment loss is made up to the limit of the amount that would have been recognised (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for that asset in prior years.
Financial expenses related to loans are generally recognised as an expense in the income statement, in accordance with the principle of accrual accounting.
Financial expenses on loans directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. The capitalisation of these expenses begins after the start of preparation of the construction or development activities of the asset and is interrupted when those assets are available for use or at the end of the construction of the asset or when the project in question is suspended.
Provisions are recognised when, and only when the Company: (i) has a present obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from a past event; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of funds will be required to settle that obligation; and (iii) the amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the Board of Directors at that date.
Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and has been communicated to the parties involved.
When a provision is determined taking into consideration the cash flows required to settle such an obligation, it is recorded at its present value.


Investments in equity holdings in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are measured in accordance with 'IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements', at acquisition cost net of any impairment losses.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which Altri has control, that is, it has the power to control its financial and operating policies, in such a way that they are able to influence, as a result of their involvement, the return on the activities of the detained entity and the ability to affect that return (definition of control used by the Company).
Joint ventures are investments in entities that are the object of a joint agreement by all or part of their holders, with the parties that have joint control of the agreement rights over the entity's net assets. Joint control is obtained by contractual provision and exists only when the associated decisions have to be taken unanimously by the parties that share control.
In situations where the investment or financial interest and the contract entered into by the parties allows the entity to have direct joint control over the rights to hold the asset or obligations inherent in the liabilities related to that agreement, it is considered that such a joint agreement does not corresponds to a joint venture, but to a jointly controlled operation.
Associates correspond to entities over which the Company has significant influence, that is, over which the Company has the power to participate in decisions on the investee's operational and financial policies, but this power does not correspond to control or joint control over them.
Altri conducts impairment tests to financial investments whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicating that the amount for which they are recorded in the separate financial statements might not be recoverable.
The impairment analysis is based on the evaluation of the financial investments, using the discounted cash-flow method, based on the financial projections of cash-flow at five years of each and the year of perpetuity starting from the fifth year, deducted from the fair value of the liabilities of the entities.
The Board of Directors believes that the methodology described above leads to reliable results on the existence of any impairment of the investments under analysis, as they take into consideration the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements.
Dividends received from these investments are recorded as investment income, when attributed. Dividends are recorded in the income statement under 'Results related to investments'.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in Altri's balance sheet when it becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and liabilities (other than financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through income statement) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial asset or liability, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities recognised at fair value through the income statement are recognised immediately in the income statement.
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the date of signature of the respective purchase and sale contracts, regardless of the date of their financial settlement. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at their fair value, depending on the business model adopted by Altri and the characteristics of its contractual cash flows.
Fixed income debt instruments and receivables that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating the corresponding interest during its life.
For financial assets that are not acquired or originated with impairment (i.e. assets impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life of the instrument in its gross carrying amount at the date of its initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount by which it is measured on initial recognition net of principal repayments plus the accumulated amortisation, using the effective interest rate method, of any difference between that initial amount and the amount of its repayment, adjusted for any impairment losses.
Interest-related revenue is recognised in the income statement under the line item 'Financial income', using the effective interest rate method, for financial assets subsequently recorded at amortised cost or at fair value through the income statement. Interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the financial asset's gross carrying amount.
Debt instruments and receivables that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

In the initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable choice (on a financial instrument by financial instrument basis) to state certain investments under equity instruments (shares) at fair value through other comprehensive income when these fulfil the definition of capital provided for under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and not held for trading. Classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The fair-value designation through other comprehensive income is not permitted if the investment is held for trading purposes or when resulting from a contingent consideration recognised as part of a business combination.
A capital instrument is held for trading if:
Investments in equity instruments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction expenses. Subsequently, they are measured at their fair value with gains and losses arising from their change, as recognised under other comprehensive income. At the time of its disposal, the accumulated gain or loss generated with these financial instruments is not reclassified to the income statement, but, rather, merely transferred to the line item "Retained Earnings."
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through the income statement. These financial assets include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at the time of initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value.
Financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value obtained at the end of each reporting period. The corresponding gains or losses are recognised in the income statement, except if they are part of a hedging relationship.
Altri recognises expected impairment losses for debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as for trade receivables and other receivables.
The expected impairment loss amount for the aforementioned financial assets is updated on every reporting date in order to reflect the credit risk changes occurred since the initial recognition of the corresponding financial assets.
Expected impairment losses for granted loans (trade receivables and other receivables parties) are estimated using the uncollectibility matrix based on Company debtors' credit history in the last few years, as well as from estimated future macroeconomic conditions.

Impairment loss of these assets is recorded according to expected impairment losses (expected credit losses) of those financial assets. The amount of expected loss is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since the initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The loss amount is recognised in the income statement for the financial year when this situation occurs.
According to the expected simplified approach, Altri recognises expected impairment losses for the economic life of trade receivables and other receivables parties (lifetime). Expected losses on these financial assets are estimated using an impairment matrix based on the Altri's historical experience of impairment losses, affected by specific prospective factors related to debtors' expected credit risk, by the evolving general economic conditions and by an evaluation of current and projected circumstances on the financial reporting date.
Measuring expected impairment losses reflects the estimated likelihood of default, the likelihood of loss due to said default (i.e., the magnitude of loss in the event of default) and the Altri's actual general exposure to said default. Altri considers default to be 60 days after the due date.
Assessment of the likelihood of default and of loss due to said default is based on existing historical information, adjusted for future estimated information as described above.
For financial assets, exposure to default is shown as the assets' gross book value on each reporting date. For financial assets, expected impairment loss is estimated as the difference between every contractual cash flow owed to the Company, as agreed upon between the parties, and the cash flows the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Altri recognises gains and losses regarding impairments in the income statement for every financial instrument, with the corresponding adjustments to their book value via the line item of accumulated impairment losses in the statement of financial position.
As a result of Altri's stringent credit control policy, irrecoverable debts have been nearly non-existent.
Altri evaluates expected impairment losses, in accordance with IFRS 9.
The model used to determine the impairments of accounts receivable consists of:
The amounts given in the statement of financial position are net of accumulated impairment losses for bad debts that were estimated by Altri; therefore, they are at their fair value.

For every other situation and nature of balances receivable, the Altri applies the general impairment model approach. On every reporting date, it assesses whether there was a significant increase in credit risk from the asset's initial recognition date. If credit risk did not increase, the Altri calculates an impairment corresponding to the amount equivalent to expected losses within a 12-month period. If credit risk did increase, the Altri calculates an impairment corresponding to the amount equivalent to expected losses for every contractual cash flow up to the asset's maturity. The credit risk is assessed in accordance with the loans disclosed in the credit risk management policies.
Altri derecognises a financial asset only when the asset's contractual cash-flow rights expire, or when transferring the financial asset and substantially every risk and benefit associated with its ownership to another entity. When substantially every risk and benefit arising from ownership of an asset is neither transferred nor retained, or control over the asset is not transferred, Altri keeps on recognising the transferred asset to the extent of its continued involvement. In this case, Altri also recognises the corresponding liability, the transferred asset and corresponding liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations retained by Altri. If Altri retains substantially every risk and benefit associated with ownership of a transferred financial asset, Altri keeps on recognising said asset; in addition, it recognises a loan for the amount received in the meantime.
In derecognising a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the retribution received and to be received is recognised in the income statement.
On the other hand, when derecognising a financial asset represented by a capital instrument recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gain or loss in the revaluation reserve is reclassified to the profit and loss statement.
However, in derecognising a financial asset represented by a capital instrument irrevocably designated in the initial recognition as recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gain or loss in the revaluation reserve is not reclassified to the income statement, but, rather, transferred to the line item "Retained Earnings" included in the caption of equity "Other reserves".
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as liability or as equity according to the transaction's contractual substance.
Altri considered equity instruments to be those where the transaction's contractual support shows that Altri holds a residual interest in a set of assets after deducting a set of liabilities.
The equity instruments issued by Altri are recognised at the amount received, net of costs directly attributable to their issue.

The repurchase of equity instruments issued by Altri (own shares) is accounted for at its acquisition cost as a deduction from equity. Gains or losses inherent to disposal of own shares are recorded under the line item 'Other reserves.'
After initial recognition, every financial liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost or at fair value through income statement.
Financial liabilities are recorded at fair value through income statement when:
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value through income statement are measured at their fair value with the corresponding gains or losses arising from their change, as recognised in the income statement, except if assigned to hedging transactions.
Financial liabilities not designated for recording at fair value through income statement are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating the corresponding interest during its life.
The effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life of the instrument in its gross carrying amount at the date of its initial recognition.
Loans in the form of commercial paper issues are classified as non-current liabilities when they are guaranteed to be placed for more than one year, and the Company's Board of Directors intends to use this source of funding also for more than one year.
The other financial liabilities basically refer to factoring transactions and lease liabilities, which are initially recorded at their fair value. Following their initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are settled, cancelled or have expired.
The difference between the derecognised financial liability's carrying amount and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in the income statement.
When the Company and a given creditor exchange a debt instrument for another containing substantially different terms, said exchange is accounted for as a cancellation of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Likewise, the Company accounts for substantial modifications to the terms of an existing liability, or to a part thereof, as a cancellation of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (i) the liability's carrying amount prior to modification; and (ii) the present value of future cash flows after modification is recognised in the income statement as a modification gain or loss.
Altri uses derivative instruments in managing its financial risks as a way to ensure hedging against said risks. Derivative instruments are not used for trading purposes.
The derivative instruments used by the Company defined as cash flow hedging instruments are related to the hedging of interest rates on loans obtained, exchange rates, hedging the price of pulp, as well as hedging the price of energy.
The risk is hedged in its entirety, with no hedging of risk components, and no target hedging value is defined for these risks.
The Company designates only the spot element of forward agreements as a hedging instrument. The forward element is recognised under Other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate equity component.
The derivative financial instruments used for economic risk hedging purposes can be classified in the accounts as hedging instruments, provided they cumulatively meet the following conditions:
Whenever expectations of evolving interest rates or currency exchange rates so justify, the Company seeks to put under contract transactions protecting against unfavourable operations, using derivative instruments, such as, interest rate swaps (IRS), interest rate and currency exchange rate collars or exchange rate forwards.

Selecting hedging instruments to be used basically states their features in terms of economic risks they seek to hedge. Also considered are the implications of including each additional instrument in existing derivative portfolio, namely the effects in terms of volatility of results.
The conditions established for these cash flow hedge instruments are identical to those of the corresponding loans in terms of the amount, maturity dates of the interest and repayment schedules of the loans and for these reasons they qualify as perfect hedges.
In the case of hedging instruments for exchange rate exposure, the Company contracts to hedge highly probable transactions and for a small portion of the expected total, so it is also understood that hedging strategies are highly effective.
In the case of instruments for hedging the price of pulp, the price indexes to which the futures contracts for hedging the price of pulp are indexed are those most frequently used by the Group's subsidiaries as a reference for the sale price of their pulp, which is why it is understood that they also provide perfect hedging for highly probable transactions that are expected to occur in quantities greater than those contracted.
In the case of energy price hedging instruments, the Company contracts to hedge highly probable transactions and for a portion of the total expected energy purchases and/or sales transactions, so the hedging strategies are also understood to be highly effective.
Hedging instruments are recorded at their fair value.
As long as a cash flow hedge derivative meets the qualifying criteria, the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows:
Amounts recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve are subsequently recognised in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects the income statement according to the nature of the underlying transaction. If these are of an operational nature, they are recognized under "Other income" or "Other expenses". If they are of a financial nature, they are recognized under "Financial income" or "Financial expenses". If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses accumulated in equity are removed from the cash flow hedge reserve and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.

Hedge accounting for derivative instruments is discontinued whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, namely when the instrument matures or is sold, or when the future transaction is no longer highly probable. The fair value differences accumulated until then, which are recorded in equity under the caption "Hedging reserve", are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction, and subsequent revaluations are recorded directly under the corresponding headings of the income statement.
In the case of hedges of highly probable future transactions, the amount accumulated in Other comprehensive income should remain if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the cumulative amount is reclassified immediately to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment. After the interruption, once the hedged cash flows occur, any cumulative amount remaining in equity under "Hedging reserves" should be accounted for according to the nature of the underlying transaction.
When there are derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other agreements, they are treated as separate derivatives in situations where the risks and features are not closely related to host agreements and in situations where the agreements are not shown at their fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in the income statement.
In cases where the derivative instruments, despite being put under contract with the specific goal of hedging financial risks, do not fulfil the aforementioned requirements for categorising as hedging instruments, the changes in fair value directly affect the income statement, under the line items 'Financial income' and 'Financial expenses.'
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the corresponding net amount is shown under the balance sheet if there is a present right of mandatory fulfilment to offset the recognised amounts and with the intention of either settling on a net basis or realising the asset and simultaneously settling the liability.
Contingent liabilities are defined by the Company as (i) possible obligations arising from past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not under full control of the Company, or (ii) present obligations arising from past events but that are not recognised because it is unlikely that a cash flow affecting economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Company's financial statements and are actually disclosed unless the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is remote, in which case they are not disclosed at all.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not fully under the control of the Company.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the Company's financial statements, but are only disclosed when future economic benefits are likely.

Income tax for the financial year is calculated based on the taxable earnings of the Company in accordance with the tax regulations in force and considers deferred taxation.
The Company is taxed under the special taxation regime for groups, according to article 69 of the Corporate Income Tax Code ("Código do Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Coletivas"), with Altri SGPS, S.A. being the dominant company in the Tax Group.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the financial position statement liability method and reflect the temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting reporting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually assessed using the tax rates in force or substantially in force at the expected date of reversal of temporary differences.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
Deferred tax assets are recognised only when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future tax profits for their use, or in situations where there are taxable temporary differences that offset the temporary differences deductible in the period of their reversal. At the end of each period a review is made of these deferred taxes, which are reduced whenever their future use is no longer likely.
Deferred taxes are not recognised in respect to temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, since the following conditions are simultaneously considered to be met:
Deferred taxes are recorded as expenses or income for the financial year, except if they result from amounts recorded directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded under the same line item.
k) Revenue
Altri recognises revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, which sets forth that an entity recognises revenue in order to reflect the transfer of goods and services contracted by customers, in the retribution amount to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive as consideration for delivery of said goods or services, based on the five step model below:


On 31 December 2024 and 2023, Altri's revenue refers entirely to corporate services rendered to the other subsidiaries. These services are billed monthly and the invoice is issued at the end of the month for services rendered in that month.
Revenue is recognised net of bonuses, discounts and taxes (e.g.: commercial discounts), and refers to the consideration received or receivable for services sold in line with the type of business identified. Revenue is recognised by the amount of the performance obligation fulfilled. The transaction price is a fixed component.
The Company considers the facts and circumstances when analysing the terms of each contract with clients, applying the requirements that determine the recognition and measurement of revenue in a harmonised way, when dealing with contracts with similar characteristics and circumstances.
The remaining income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, whereby they are recognised as they are generated regardless of when they are received or paid. The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses generated are recorded under the line items 'Other current assets', 'Other current liabilities', 'Other non-current assets', and 'Other non-current liabilities.'
The events occurring after the statement of financial position providing additional evidence or information regarding conditions that existed on the date of the statement of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statement. Events after the date of the statement of financial position that are indicative of the conditions that arose after the date of the statement of financial position (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements.
The amounts included under the line item 'Cash and cash equivalents' correspond to cash amounts, bank deposits, term deposits, and other treasury applications, maturing in less than three months, and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
In terms of statement of cash flows, the line item 'Cash and cash equivalents' also comprises bank overdrafts included under the current liability line item 'Bank loans.'
The statement of cash flows is prepared according to IAS 7, using the direct method.
The statement of cash flows is categorised under operating activities (which include receipts from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and others related to operating activities), financing (which include payments and receipts related to borrowings, leasing contracts, and dividend payments), and investment (which include, acquisitions and disposals of investments in subsidiaries and receipts and payments arising from the purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment).

This category includes assets or a group of assets whose value is realizable through a sale or distribution transaction, or jointly as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with these assets that are transferred in the same transaction. Assets and liabilities in this situation are measured at the lowest value between their book value and fair value less costs to sell.
For this situation to occur, it is necessary that the sale is highly probable (and expected to occur within less than 12 months), and that the asset is available for immediate sale or distribution in its present condition, besides the Company having committed itself to its sale or distribution.
The amortization of assets under these conditions ceases from the moment they are classified as held for sale or distribution and are presented as current in their own asset, liability and equity lines. A discontinued operation is a component (operating units and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity) of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale or distribution, and:
(i) represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
(ii) is an integral part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
(iii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a goal to resale.
The income of discontinued operations are presented as a single amount in the income statement, comprising the after-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations, plus the after-tax gain or loss recognized on the fair value measurement less costs to sell or on the disposal of assets or disposal group(s) that constitute the discontinued operation.
Balances between continuing operations and discontinued operations are eliminated in the consolidation process. Transactions between continuing operations and discontinued operations are eliminated to the extent that they represent transactions that will no longer be carried on by the Company.
When the Company resolves to distribute a dividend in kind and has an obligation to distribute said dividend to its shareholders, it must recognize a liability for the dividend payable.
The liability relating to the liability to pay a dividend must be recognized when the dividend has been duly approved and is no longer subject to the Company's discretion, which corresponds to the date on which the dividend proposal is approved at the General Meeting.
The Company shall measure the liability related to the responsibility for distributing dividends in kind to shareholders at the fair value to be distributed.
When the Company settles the dividend payable, it shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payable. This difference is presented in the income statement under "Profit after tax from discontinued operations".

If the distribution of net assets results in loss of control, the Company derecognizes the group of assets of the subsidiary and other Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity related to the group of assets. In the event that the Company retains any interest in the former subsidiary, such interest is measured at fair value at the date when control is lost.
When preparing the attached financial statements, value judgements and estimates were made and various assumptions were used that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses for the year.
The underlying estimates and assumptions were determined based on the best knowledge existing at the date of approval of the financial statements of current events and transactions, as well as on previous and/or current events experience. However, there are situations that could occur in subsequent periods which, while not foreseeable on that date, were not considered in those estimates. Changes in estimates that occur after the date of the financial statements will be prospectively amended. Therefore, and given the inherent degree of uncertainty, the actual results of the transactions in question may differ from the corresponding estimates.
The main value judgements and most significant estimates conducted and used in preparing consolidated financial statements include:
Impairment analyses require determining fair value and / or the use value of the assets in question (or of some cash-generating units). This process calls for a high number of relevant judgements, namely estimating future cash flows associated with assets or with the corresponding cash-generating units, and determining an appropriate discount rate for obtaining the present value of the aforementioned cash flows. In this regard, the Company once again established the requirement calling for use of the maximum possible amount of observable market data. It further established calculation monitoring mechanisms based on the critical challenge of reasonability of assumptions used, their coherence and consistency (in similar situations).
In stating financial instruments not traded in active markets valuation techniques have been used that were based on discounted cash-flow methods or on market transaction multiples. Fair value of derivative financial instruments is generally determined by the entities for which they were hired (counterparties). The Company's Board of Directors recognises the counterparties as being competent and objective.
The estimates and underlying assumptions were determined based on the best information available at the date of preparation of the financial statements and based on the best knowledge and experience of past and / or current events. However, situations may occur in subsequent periods that, not being predictable at the date, were not considered in these estimates. For this reason and given the degree of uncertainty associated, the actual results of the transactions in question may differ from the corresponding estimates. Changes to these estimates, which occur after the date of the financial statements, will be corrected prospectively in the income statement, as provided by IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Regarding new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions to IFRS, see Note 2.1.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2024, there were no voluntary changes in accounting policies. Likewise, no material errors were recognised in relation to previous fiscal years.
The Company is exposed to (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The main purpose of risk management is to reduce these risks to a level considered acceptable.
The general principles of risk management are approved by the Board of Directors, and their implementation and monitoring are overseen by the administrators and directors.
The current macroeconomic environment, marked by the geopolitical risks and uncertainties regarding its future evolution, as a result of the combination of several effects, namely the current armed conflicts, poses significant challenges to companies and their operations.
The Board of Directors is monitoring the impacts of the current macroeconomic environment in Altri's chain of operations, ensuring that mitigating measures are applied to minimize, where possible, the negative effects and uncertainty that threaten the global economic stability.
Additionally, Altri, when deemed necessary, uses derivative instruments in the management of their market risks to which it is exposed as a way to ensure their coverage, not being used derivative instruments with the objective of negotiation or speculation.
For Altri, in the management of market risk, the interest rate risk is of particular importance.
The Company's exposure to the interest rate risk results essentially from Euribor-indexed long-term loans.
The Company's goal is to limit cash-flow volatility and results, considering the profile of its operating business by using an appropriate combination of debt to fixed and variable rate. The Company's policy allows using interest rate derivatives in order to reduce exposure to changes in Euribor, not for speculation purposes.
Most derivative instruments used by the Company in managing interest rate risk are established as cash-flow hedging instruments, as they provide perfect hedging. The Index, calculation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments, and interest rate hedging instrument repayment plans are altogether identical to the conditions set forth for contracted underlying loans.

In the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Company's sensitivity to changes in the interest rate benchmark of approximately one percentage point, measured as the change in financial results, can be analysed as follows, without considering the effect of derivative financial instrument hedging (Note 18) and the fixed rate debt:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses (Note 20) | 6,928,897 | 2,988,107 |
| A 1 p.p. increase in the interest rate applied to the entire debt | 1,300,000 | 1,500,000 |
| A 1 p.p. decrease in the interest rate applied to the entire debt | (1,300,000) | (1,500,000) |
The sensitivity analysis above was calculated based on the exposure to the existing interest rate on the date ending each financial year. This analysis' basic assumption was that the financing structure (remunerated assets and liabilities) remained stable throughout the year and similar to that shown at the end of every financial year, with the rest remaining constant.
Credit risk is defined as the probability of a financial loss occurring as a result of a counterparty defaulting on its payment contractual obligations.
Altri is a holding company, having no commercial activity beyond the normal activities of a portfolio manager of holdings and corporative services to its subsidiaries. As such, on a regular basis, the Company is only exposed to credit risk arising from financial instruments (investments and deposits with banks and other financial institutions or resulting from derivative financial instruments entered into in the normal course of its hedging operations), or from loans granted to subsidiaries (when applicable).
The outstanding amounts on loans granted, when applicable, are considered to have low credit risk and, consequently, the impairments for credit losses recognised during the period were limited to the estimated 12-month credit losses. These financial assets are considered to have 'low credit risk' when they have a reduced risk of default and the debtor has a high capacity to meet its short-term cash flow contractual responsibilities.
In order to reduce the probability of a counterparty defaulting on its payment contractual obligations, Altri follows the following principles:
Given the above policies, Altri's Board of Directors does not foresee the possibility of any material breach of contractual payment obligations of its external counterparties.

In the case of loans to subsidiaries, there is no specific credit risk management policy, since the granting of loans to subsidiaries is part of the normal activity of the Company.
The main objective of the liquidity risk management policy is to ensure that the Company has the capacity to liquidate or meet its responsibilities and to pursue the strategies outlined in compliance with all its commitments to third parties within the stipulated time frame.
The Company defines as an active policy (i) to maintain a sufficient level of free and immediately available resources to meet the necessary payments on maturity, (ii) to limit the probability of default on the repayment of all its investments and loans by negotiating the extent of the contractual clauses, and (iii) to minimise the opportunity cost of holding excess liquidity in the short term.
It also seeks to make the due dates of assets and liabilities compatible, through a streamlined management of their maturities.
On 31 December 2024 and 2023, 'Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures' consisted of the following investments:
| Holding Percentage | Statement of financial position | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | 2024 | 2023 | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 |

| 148,063,546 | 148,063,546 |
Altri has prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the European Union, which present the following main financial data:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total consolidated net assets | 1,322,395,943 | 1,314,950,013 |
| Total consolidated equity | 459,153,799 | 412,357,632 |
| Consolidated profit for the year | 106,500,521 | 41,992,497 |
The impairment tests conducted by Altri on its financial investments in the separate accounts allowed to determine the non-existence of impairment. Impairment tests were conducted on the basis of a diverse set of information on Altri SL's subsidiaries, namely, estimates of discounted cash flows. Those assessments were made based on historical performance and estimates of discounted cash flows based on business plans. For the subsidiaries in the pulp sector, subsidiaries of Altri SL, the business plans were carried out for 5 years (since it is the Board of Directors' understanding that this is the most appropriate period given the cyclical nature of the Group's respective operations), and was considered to be a medium and long-term paper pulp sales price, not influenced by short-term positive or negative fluctuations.

The main assumptions used in the calculation of Altri SL subsidiaries with reference to 31 December 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.18% |
| Discount rate | 6.45% | 6.74% |
| Growth rate in perpetuity | 2.00% | 2.00% |
The discount rate net of tax (because the cash flows used in the financial projections are also net of tax) used in the financial year ended 31 December 2024 was 6.45% (6.74% in 2023), which was calculated based on the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) methodology, considering the following assumptions:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.36% | 2.03% |
| Equity risk premium | 4.33% | 4.60% |
| Debt risk premium | 3.50% | 3.50% |
From the analysis carried out, the Company concluded that there was a comfortable margin in relation to the point at which investments would be at risk of impairment.
Following the reorganisation operation that led to the separation of Altri's two autonomous business units (the cellulosic fiber sector and the electricity generation sector) and the consequent distribution of Greenvolt shares to shareholders, the remaining interest in Greenvolt was recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Altri Group carried out a distribution of Greenvolt shares to its shareholders, followed by a private placement of the remaining shares. Following the conclusion of these operations and as of 31 December 2023, the Altri Group did not hold any interest in Greenvolt's share capital.
In 2023, until the date of completion of these operations in relation to the remaining participation, an increase of 3.4 million Euro was recognized in the fair value through other comprehensive income of the financial participation that Altri held in Greenvolt.
According to current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits granted, or when inspections, complaints or challenges are in progress, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are extended or suspended. Thus, the Company's tax returns since 2021 may still be subject to review.
The Company's Board of Directors considers that any corrections resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities to those tax returns will not have a material effect on the financial statements as of 31 December 2024 and 2023.
The Company is subject to the special taxation regime for groups (RETGS). Altri is the dominant company of the Tax Group which, as of 31 December 2024, was comprised of the following entities:
– Altri Florestal, S.A.;

Each of the companies taxed through RETGS records the income tax in its separate accounts under the line item 'Subsidiaries' (Notes 12 and 16). Where subsidiaries contribute with losses, the amount of tax corresponding to the losses that will be offset against the profits of the other companies covered by this regime is recorded in the separate financial statements (Note 21). If deferred tax assets relating to tax losses generated are recorded, the amount is recorded in the subsidiary as an account receivable from the parent company of the tax Group.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded during the fiscal year are essentially related to the fair value of interest rate hedging derivatives, and, as such, were recorded under 'Other comprehensive income'.
In accordance with the legislation in force in Portugal, for the fiscal years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 the base income tax rate in force was 21%. The Company is also subject to a municipal surtax at the rate of 1.5% on taxable income.
Additionally, in accordance with the legislation in force in Portugal during the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the state surtax corresponds to the application of an additional rate of 3% on the taxable income between 1.5 and 7.5 million Euro, 5% on the taxable income between 7.5 and 35 million and Euro 9% on the taxable income above 35 million Euro.
Under the terms of Article 88 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, the Company is subject to autonomous taxation on a number of fees at the rates set out in the aforementioned article.
The reconciliation of the profit before income tax to the income tax for the financial year is as follows:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit before income tax | 99,937,340 | 21,853,616 |
| Tax rate | 22.5% | 22.5% |
| 22,485,902 | 4,917,064 | |
| Non-taxable dividends | (20,700,000) | (4,050,000) |
| Autonomous taxes | 243,459 | 92,367 |
| State surtax | 194,031 | 34,130 |
| Others | (69,359) | (471,901) |
| 2,154,034 | 521,660 |
The deferred tax assets were recorded to the extent that it is the Board of Directors expectation that, as in recent years, the RETGS will generate future taxable income that allows its recovery.

In order to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps. These contracts were valued at their fair value on 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the corresponding amount was recognised under 'Derivative financial instruments'.
On 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Company had in force interest rate derivative contracts whose total amounts are as follows:
| Fair value | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Amount | Maturity | Interest | Fixing | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 |
| Interest rate swap | 5,000,000 | 16/04/2025 | Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.820% | 56,240 | 186,362 |
| Interest rate swap | 5,000,000 | 16/04/2025 | Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.806% | 56,603 | 186,280 |
| Interest rate swap | 5,000,000 | 16/04/2025 | Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.818% | 56,301 | 185,390 |
| Interest rate swap | 5,000,000 | 16/04/2025 | Pays a fixed rate and receives 6M Euribor rate | 0.805% | 56,616 | 187,475 |
| 225,760 | 745,507 |
In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these derivatives comply with the requirements to be classified as interest rate hedging instruments (Note 2.2 h)).
The fair value of the derivatives contracted by the Company was calculated by the respective counterparties (financial institutions with whom such contracts were entered into). The valuation model of these derivatives, used by the counterparties, is based on the discounted Cash Flow method, i.e., using the Swap Par Rates, which are listed on the interbank market and available on the Reuters and/ or Bloomberg websites, for the relevant maturities, calculating the respective forwards rates and discount factors which can be used to discount fixed (fixed leg) and variable (variable leg) cash flows. The sum of the two instalments results in the Net Present Value of the future cash flows or fair value of the derivatives.

(ii) Exchange rate derivatives
SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES ALTRI, SGPS, S.A.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, there were no exchange rate derivative contracts in effect.
In order to reduce its exposure to the volatility of the pulp price, Altri contracted derivatives to hedge the pulp price in order to transfer this position to its subsidiary Celbi, so that this company can hedge future cash flows and manage the risk associated with the price of pulp to which it is exposed in its operations.
The need for the Company to act as an intermediary results from its greater weight and visibility in the financial markets. Thus, on 31 December 2024 and 2023 was made the transfer to Celbi of the position in derivatives contracted in the amount of 125,139 Euro (debit position) and 1,333,266 Euro (debit position), respectively.
These contracts were valued according to their fair value at 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the corresponding amount was recognized in the caption "Derivative financial instruments".
At 31 December 2024 and 2023, the following pulp price hedging derivative contracts were in force:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quantity covered | Start date | Maturity | Asset | Liability | Asset | Liability |
| 1,000 ton/month | 01/01/2025 | 31/12/2025 | 125,139 | — | — | — |

| 125,139 | — | 1,333,266 | — |
The calculation of the fair value of derivatives to hedge the pulp price contracted by the Company was made by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative evaluation model, used by the counterparts, is based on the Discounted Cash Flows Method, i.e., the difference between the estimated pulp price (PIX) and the price fixed for the relevant periods is calculated, which is subsequently updated to the evaluation date.
In order to mitigate exposure to the increasing volatility of energy prices, Altri hired derivatives to hedge the price of energy, in order to transfer this position to its subsidiary Celbi, so that the company can hedge future cash flows and manage the risk associated with the price of energy that is exposed in its operations.
As in the case of pulp price hedging derivatives, the need for the Company to act as an intermediary results from its greater weight and visibility in the financial markets. Thus, on 31 December 2024 and 2023, was made the transfer to Celbi of the position in derivatives contracted in the amount of 907,353 Euro (debit position) and 2,462,048 Euro (credit position), respectively.
These contracts were evaluated according to their fair value on 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the corresponding amount was recognized in the caption "Derivative financial instruments".
