Dear Partners,
We are proud to present Palram's third Corporate ESG Report, reflecting another year of progress in our commitment to sustainable growth, responsible management, and continuous innovation. This report marks not only continuity in our journey but also tangible advancement toward the ambitious goals we have set for 2030.
Since our foundation in 1963 at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, Palram Industries has remained dedicated to the communities we serve and to the environment in which we operate. Over the past year, we have further strengthened this commitment - integrating sustainability into every layer of our decision-making, production processes, and corporate culture.
The challenges and global shifts of recent years have only reinforced the importance of resilience, transparency, and accountability. Throughout 2024, Palram continued to expand environmental data collection, add sites that use renewable energy, and develop innovative products that promote efficiency and circularity. At the same time, we invested in our people, our communities, and our governance frameworks, ensuring that ethical business conduct remains at the heart of our operations.
With an eye toward the future, our ESG strategy remains
clear - to minimize our environmental footprint, empower our employees, and deepen our positive impact on society. We believe that long-term success depends on cooperation, fairness, and innovation - values that have defined Palram for over six decades.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our employees for their dedication, creativity, and professionalism; to our partners and stakeholders for their continued trust and collaboration; and to our customers, who inspire us to evolve and improve every day.
Enjoy the read,

The United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to tackle social and environmental issues while also targeting economic growth, reduced inequalities and innovation. At the Palram Group, sustainability is considered a crucial business growth-engine enabling
the provision of long-term value and added value. Palram Group views its commitment to sustainability as an integral part of the Group's vision and values. As one of the leading companies in its field, Palram Group contributes to the SDGs by improving its understanding of its impact and investing in R&D efforts to generate a positive impact.

We manufacture products that support public health and wellbeing and offer true value to our customers and end users by providing them with new innovative solutions to their changing needs. Using Palram polycarbonate sheets as skylights or sidelights in buildings positively impacts the occupants and workers. Exposure to natural light is considered a necessity for a healthy and productive lifestyle.
Translucent panels used for small projects around the house such as pergolas, patio covers, and gazebos, allow people to spend more time outside their homes, benefiting from fresh air and natural light, while protecting them from the rain. Hobby greenhouses by Palram Canopia Ltd enable people to grow their own produce, providing health benefits from both gardening activities and exercise, as well as from nutritious fresh vegetables.
In addition, Palram Group's product, Suntop corrugated panel that is made mostly from recycled material, serve as an environmentally friendly alternative to asbestos and cladding panels with antibacterial additive helps create a healthier environment in hospitals, food processing facilities, and more.

Palram Group's employees are the driving force behind its operations. The company strives to provide a safe, fulfilling, and rewarding environment - one that offers opportunities for all employees to grow and develop their skills. In 2024, Palram Group continued the Champion Program, a training initiative for mid-level managers and continue implementing the new internal communication system in the different regions.

As part of its first and most significant steps in its ESG journey, Palram Group's leadership, assumed responsibility for developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure through its products and by embedding an ESG strategy into the Group's core business operations. These efforts aim to better support inclusive and sustainable economic development.

As a large manufacturing Group, Palram Group's Procurement policies and manufacturing methods promote efficient use of water, energy and raw materials. Environmental considerations are integrated into Palram Group's production processes, as it aims to increase the use of recycled materials in Palram Group's products.

The company incorporated UN Goal 5 into its ESG reporting to reflect its commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women at all levels of the organization. This commitment is supported by, alongside a clear code of conduct on sexual harassment, an anonymous complaint mechanism, and consistent tracking of the proportion of women in management roles. The company has set a target to increase female representation in senior management and on the Board of Directors to 35% by 2030.

Palram is striving to reduce its ecological impact on climate and the environment. Palram promotes sustainable processes, products, and innovative solutions for the efficient use of resources.
The ESG journey was led by the CEO and launched at the Palram Group Conference 2022 for the executive and global management of the Group. As part of the ESG journey, in 2023 Palram Group started working on its ESG strategy. The strategy expresses Palram Group's commitment to sustainable growth while setting the targets for its realization. Palram Group's ESG strategy is aligned with its business strategy and based on Palram Group's core values which are reflected in the corporate code of ethics. Palram Group recognizes the opportunities inherent in implementing sustainable considerations in the core business, in Group-wide processes and decisionmaking procedures as well as within the engagement with its stakeholders.
Led by the CEO, with the assistance of the ESG strategy dept. at BDO, we used the process described below to determine the strategic objectives and long-term goals that were approved by Palram's management and Board.
Incorporating ESG aspects into the Group's business strategy through a process that originates in its vision and values.
As a global Group, we strive to be a leading international company while preserving our unique character.
The mission and values were examined through an ESG prism, and with the insights from internal meetings set the foundations for the ESG objectives. The objectives were defined as material focus areas within the environmental, social, and governance disciplines that are relevant to, and reflected in the Group's business strategy.
The next step in the process was to determine the correct Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which will reflect the measurement of the objectives. We set for each KPI a baseline (2022) and a strategic target to be achieved by 2030. The outcome of the strategic process are the following metrics:

(Formerly Palram 4u)
(Formerly Canopia)

Through Palram 4U Ltd., located in the Tziporit Industrial Park in Israel, Palram 4U is primarily engaged in the development, production, and sale of follow-on B2B products. These include ProleafyTM, hydroponic system cabinets designed to make it easier to grow healthy, freshly picked vegetables anywhere.

Through Palram Canopia Ltd., located in the Teradion Industrial Park in Israel, Palram Group develops produces, and sells finished products for the home outdoor environment. Canopia's products enable homeowners to grow their own vegetables and enjoy quality time in their outdoor spaces.

Palram Group products allow daylight to enter through transparent/translucent panels that contribute to energy savings while preventing exposure to carcinogenic UV radiation. Daylighting provided by Palram Group's sheets installed on the building's roof or façade, is research proven to improve inhabitants' health, productivity, and overall well- being. Polycarbonate skylights installed in industrial buildings are a common example of how natural light can replace artificial lighting - benefiting both the environment and the well-being of workers inside the building.
Palram Group promotes sustainable manufacturing practices and the efficient use of resources. Its products are lead-free and comply with environmental regulations such as RoHS , REACH and other standards detailed in the company's annual Regulatory Data Sheet (RDS).
Palram provides quality products that inspire and enable people to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Palram PVC and polycarbonate products are designed for long-term use and are 100% recyclable.
They offer a significantly more sustainable alternative to glass —which requires a much heavier supporting structure — and to any "single use" materials.
Palram polycarbonate sheets offer an eco-friendly solution for commercial greenhouse covers, replacing other transparent alternatives. Compared to glass, Palram's sheets are significantly lighter and require a much simpler supporting metal structure.
Palram SUNLITE multiwall sheets provide excellent thermal insulation and help reduce energy costs in cooler climate regions. Additionally, polycarbonate sheets require significantly less energy to produce compared to glass, resulting in a lower carbon footprint. Unlike polyethylene greenhouse covers — which often need to be replaced at the end of the growing season and contribute to plastic pollution in agricultural areas — polycarbonate panels are designed for long-term use. They are also easy to remove and recycle, generating no landfill waste.
Palram Group's products further support sustainability through innovations such as recycled corrugated PVC panels, which offer an eco-friendly alternative to asbestos roofs. PVC panels enhanced with antibacterial additives help slow or prevent the spread of bacteria, making them ideal for hygiene-sensitive environments. In corrosive settings, PVC panels serve as a rust-free alternative to metal sheets. For instance, metal roofing used for fertilizer storage often corrodes after a few years and requires replacement, whereas PVC roofing panels resist harsh chemicals and salty conditions for extended periods.
In the home gardening sector, Canopia's Hobby Greenhouses and Palram 4U's ProleafyTM systems make it easy to grow healthy, freshly picked vegetables anywhere.


Palram Group's polycarbonate panels offer a natural lighting alternative to conventional electric lighting during daylight hours.
SUNTUF is one of the world's leading profiled polycarbonate sheets, used in architectural, industrial, agricultural, and DIY projects. It is commonly installed on roofs, façades, and skylights of various buildings and structures. The transparent panels provide natural daylight while blocking harmful UV radiation and helping reduce energy consumption through efficient light transmission.
SUNTUF polycarbonate skylights and polycarbonate sheets are available in hundreds of profiles and match most standard metal profiles. Palram's MetalMatchTM technology gives Palram Group an almost unlimited ability to customize new solutions and design a tailor-made corrugated profile for any structure. Weighing half the weight of glass, SUNTUF profiled
sheets also offer multiple advantages over traditional alternatives: up to 20 times greater impact resistance, the highest light transmission rates, the lowest yellowing index, the highest load rating, and the highest resistance to wind uplift.
These outstanding properties, confirmed in accredited laboratory testing and in installations around the world since 1984, make SUNTUF profiled polycarbonate roofing an optimal solution.
Palram's development team estimates that each square meter of SUNTUF skylight generate annual electricity savings of \$15 to \$27 (averaging \$21) in lighting costs.
Under this assumption, Palram Group's sales of 2.23 million square meters of SUNTUF skylight material in 2024, generated customer savings of approximately USD 46.5 million on electric bills.



The actual extent of electricity saving naturally depends on several variables, including the percentage of skylights in the roof, the availability of natural light, the shape of the structure, and the type of electric lighting being replaced.
Between 2019 and 2022 Palram PVC participated in the Israeli National Innovation Authority's R&D programs (CYRCLE) in the field of universal technologies aimed at increasing recycling capacity. While participating in these programs, Palram Group's staff and management became increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability and the opportunities presented by this field for Palram Group's industry.
Consequently, Palram Group's development staff deepened their professional knowledge and focus on the field of "green" products, that are increasingly based on recycled materials. Palram Group's current "Make a Difference" product catalog features three new products in different levels of development and manufacturing:

Palram Group's Direct Economic Value Generated (EVG) and Distributed (EVD)

| Economic value distributed | NIS 1,542 Million | NIS 1,618 Million |
| Economic value retained | NIS 176 Million | NIS 250 Million |
Palram undertakes comprehensive efforts to ensure compliance with material legal and regulatory frameworks across all jurisdictions in which it operates, including tax legislation. To minimize corporate exposure, Palram Group engages tax advisory firms in each jurisdiction to review all tax calculations prior to submission to the relevant authorities. Tax risks are identified, assessed, managed, and monitored through ongoing coordination between the Group's headquarters and external auditors.

As Palram Group is an industrial manufacturer, Palram Group's management deem it a priority to minimize its impact on the environment. One important tool used by Palram Group to fulfill this priority is conducting risk analysis. The focal areas are summarized in the following table:
| Activity | Environmental Risk | Mitigation Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel spill from forklifts / seepage into soil | Soil contamination | Installation of absorbent sleeve stations, designated tanks and containment systems, training according to the plant emergency scenario, as defined in the plant's emergency response plan. |
| Ignition of diesel in containment / fire | Air quality degradation | Removal of flammable materials, maintaining order and cleanliness, equipping with dedicated fire-extinguishing equipment, and fire response team training. |
| Hazardous material (HAZMAT) spill / corrosive or flammable stabilizers |
Soil contamination | Storage of hazardous materials in designated, labeled warehouses; use of proper containment systems; event handling protocols included in the plant's emergency response plan; regularly practiced spill response drills. |
| Pollutant emissions from chimneys (IL) | Air quality degradation | Periodic chimneys sampling were required, according to an approved monitoring plan; routine maintenance of systems. |


Palram Group actively adapts to the changing market environment. The group's foundation lies in talented people with a true commitment to innovation, showcasing the Group's proactive mindset.
The Group's innovation combines insights from customers, consumers and market trends with its leadership's desire to create value while reducing the ecological impact on the climate and the environment. Palram Group embeds sustainability into its innovation processes employing greener production methods with a lower environmental footprint and promoting an eco- friendly product portfolio. For instance, the Group has developed energy-efficient sky and wall light solutions helping to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Palram Group's green purpose drives it to foster a sustainable environment and minimize its ecological footprint by delivering recyclable and grindable solutions and enhancing its production and supply chain footprints.
A core aspect of this green purpose is the Group's commitment to prevent the release of toxic substances into the environment. For more details readers can consult the Regulatory Data Sheet, within this report.
Circularity is key to efficiency and the reduction of waste in the production process. To help pave the way toward a more sustainable future, Palram Group recognizes the importance of circularity and has implemented several initiatives to promote it throughout its operations:
Palram Group's production setup reduces waste throughout the entire process to less than 1% and all Palram Group products are grindable and recyclable when reaching their service lifetime.
Less than 1% of raw materials production waste is disposed of to landfill. In Palram Group's production setup, approximately 20% of raw materials, for both PVC and Polycarbonate emerge as "scraps" from the initial production process. These scraps are generated from various stages, including machinery start-up, side trims, and product type changes. Importantly, over 98% of these scraps are diverted for reuse in the production of Palram Group's various products while additional 1% is directed to produce packing sheets. Consequently, at the end of the production process, less than 1% of the raw materials used – specifically as sawdust and unrecoverable losses – are directed to disposal.
Palram's PVC manufacturing facility participated in the CIRCLE consortium, a collaborative effort funded by the Israeli Innovation Authority. This consortium brought together leading partners from Israeli industry and academia to develop new recycling technologies and innovative methods to increase the amount of regrind materials in PVC manufacturing. The consortium's activities, conducted from 2019-2022 aimed to advance these new recycling technologies.
As a direct result of its participation, Palram Group successfully developed new products that incorporate a growing percentage of recycled PVC material. Throughout the three year's program, Palram Group significantly enhanced its awareness of the sustainability field, deepened its professional knowledge and increasingly focused on developing green products based on recycled materials, such as:

Palram Group operates on the belief that responsible consumerism is a key aspect of using its products, as there are many environmental advantages to be gained by its customers. Accordingly, Palram Group strives to increase public awareness for real and lasting results, including:
All these contribute to a reduced carbon footprint for Palram Group's clients.


Palram Group is committed to working with external technology and equipment providers to improve environmental efficiency. By working in collaboration with these partners, Palram Group can test and integrate new technological capabilities that enhance and optimize its production processes.
Environmental efficiency is evaluated based on the reduction of energy consumption, the minimization of waste production and the reduction of GHG emissions. To achieve these goals, Palram Group regularly assesses its production processes and explores ways to improve efficiency and reduce its environmental footprint.

47,639 m3
of water consumed in 2024
In recent years, water scarcity has become one of the most significant environmental issues alongside greenhouse gas emissions. While water is one of the world's most valuable resources, access to clean water remains under threat due to the effects of climate change, increased population growth and possible contamination. Recognizing the critical importance of this issue, Palram Group maintains all of the Group's manufacturing processes as dry processes, meaning that water is not used as a solvent or otherwise directly used in the manufacturing process, but rather is used only in chillers, gardening and for sanitary purposes (Except the PVC plant in the UK). Another result is that Canopia and Palram 4U activities do not generate industrial wastewater. In 2024, our water consumption increased by 0.5% compared to 2023.

tCO2e Palram Group's total Scope 1 GHG emissions in 2024
Scientific evidence clearly indicates that climate change is anthropologically related, as the increasing average global temperature is directly connected to the rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rising temperatures lead to more extreme weather conditions affecting supply chain, manufacturing and living environments. Extensive efforts are therefore necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Scope 2 19,220
tCO2e Palram Group's total Scope 2 (Location-based) GHG emissions in 2024
Palram Group's management deems it a priority to minimize its environmental impact. They believe that sustainable energy consumption represents both an economic and environmental opportunity which also advances the Group's sustainable growth.


All of Palram Group's manufacturing machinery is operated by electricity. The Group recognizes the importance of reducing energy consumption and increasing the share of renewable energy in its sources of electricity.
Palram Group aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its electricity sources.Currently, Palram Group's three manufacturing facilities in Israel, as well as Molan and Polycarb in the UK, use solar energy as part of their electricity consumption . Collectively, this accounts for 3% of the total electricity consumed across Palram Group's facilities.
Palram Group is actively reducing its energy consumption by installing LED lighting, purchasing electric forklifts and promoting the replacement of old, low-efficiency machinery with less energy- intensive new technology. These efforts help reduce energy consumption at its facilities and minimize its environmental footprint.

The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data provided in this report is collected from Palram Group's manufacturing facilities and offices and consists of the following:
In the UK, Palram reports Scope 2 carbon emissions to the Environment Agency as part of the Climate Change Agreement7.
The CCA scheme continued to operate in 2024. Savings made for this period on the climate change levy were £102,186. Palram's UK performance would have required a buyout of £24,925.

Scoup 1 & 2 Absolute Emissions (tCO2e)


7 Climate change agreements (CCAs) are voluntary agreements entered into between a UK industry and the Environment Agency for the purpose of reducing energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. In return, businesses receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL), a tax added to electricity and fuel bills. The Environment Agency administers the CCA scheme on behalf of the entire UK.

Palram Group prioritizes air quality and is dedicated to providing its employees with a safe working environment.
To prevent dispersion of dust in the air during the manufacturing process of pellets and regrinding raw materials, vacuum systems have been installed at the relevant manufacturing sites. Moreover, to ensure the safety of all employees and maintain a safe and pleasant working environment, machinery that emits odors or generates fumes or dust, such as vacuum forming and extruders, welding workstations, CNC machinery and saws - are equipped with fume hoods or forced circulation system where relevant.
VOCs emissions are monitored only in our production site in Ramat Yohanan. The business licenses for both factories operating on this site mandate compliance with air pollution control based on the 2002 TA LUFT standard:
During 2024 no abnormalities were observed in the measured TOC values, in any chimney.
Conclusion - All sampled values from both factories' chimneys are consistently well below the standard thresholds – indicating a normal and compliant situation.
This trend of no observed abnormalities in sample values has been consistent for several years.
Palram Group conducts semi-annual/annual reviews, in compliance with regulations, and adjusts the activities at all its manufacturing facilities accordingly.


Industrial companies can negatively impact the environment through manufacturing processes that produce waste or as a result of their business relationships.
It is a well-known fact, that a linear economy has significant negative impact on both the environment and finances, especially concerning the disposal of process waste. Improper waste management, in particular, causes air, water and soil pollution and can lead to health issues, both for humans and wildlife. Additionally, significant waste management costs can increase overall manufacturing expenses, which in turn may lead to a higher cost for the finished product.
Palram Group values its raw materials and recognizes the negative impact of a linear economy. Therefore, Palram Group strives to promote responsible waste management practices. As part of this commitment, over 98% of all PVC and polycarbonate initial production waste and defective products are ground and then reused, thereby forming an internal circular economy where almost no waste is produced. By recycling and reusing these materials, Palram Group not only minimizes the environmental impact associated with the production process but also enhances operational efficiency and reduces costs.
Being environmentally aware, Canopia follows the Three Rs of waste reduction.
Refuse: Refusing to produce unnecessary waste. Canopia has adopted and implemented a zero- disposables office policy by providing all employees with reusable dishware.
Reduce: All cutouts are designed for maximum efficiency and minimum waste.
Recycle: Canopia and Palram 4U recycle most of the production leftovers by separating different materials to be sent back to their manufacturers for reuse whenever possible.
Palram DPL, a manufacturing site of Palram Europe Ltd. in the UK, implements several measures to manage its manufacturing waste effectively, including:
DPL tracks the effectiveness of its waste management efforts by monitoring environmental performance and setting goals for continuous improvement.
All waste at Palram DPL is managed externally by SUEZ, which draws on its wide-ranging expertise and services to manage DPL's waste more cost-effectively and comply with all regulations, turning waste into new resources and contributing to a circular economy.
Palram Group's panels are shipped on wooden pallets made of disinfected wood in compliance with regulation. Palram Group attempts to collect and reuse these pallets as much as possible, either internally or by our clients.

Palram Group considers human capital its most valuable and critical resource. It expends considerable time and resources into nurturing, retaining and developing employees who together make up the Palram Group family. In 2024, Palram Group continued to execute an 'engagement program' aimed at protecting and strengthening their bond with the organization.
Palram Group's leadership is also aware of the potential negative impacts that positive economic performance and growth may have on employees. Increased workload, for example, might create a more stressful working environment for employees. Therefore, Palram Group's various HR policies are aimed, among other purposes, at mitigating such potential negative impacts on employees.
Policies include a performance appraisal procedure, training and development plans and above all, an "open door" policy allowing every employee direct access to the management.
As part of the unique relationship between Palram Group and the community of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, the Kibbutz provides the Group with human resource services as well as qualified personnel for non-management positions and officers for management positions.
This is done by virtue of agreements approved by the Audit Committee and the Company's Board and further presented to the general meeting of the company's shareholders for its approval.
The individuals assigned to Palram Group by the Kibbutz under these agreements are members of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan and are defined as "Kibbutz Assignees"9. These assignees, in all employment levels are placed according to the Group's needs and at its sole discretion10.
8The employment data analysis presented in this report, covers 95% of the group's employees, which are employed by the Company. The total amount of employees is 1630, while the analyses in this report, refer to the amount of 1,543 employees.
9As of the report's date, the Kibbutz has provided Palram the services of 66 qualified personnel for non-management positions and 5 officers who are Kibbutz assignees (same as in 2023).
10This report treats all Kibbutz assignees as employees of Palram. Apart from Kibbutz assignees, in 2024 there were 71 workers working for Palram Group worldwide who are not employees of the Group. Such non-employee workers are commonly subcontractors or personnel agency workers hired to deal with significant workloads and cover sick leaves and vacancies of Palram employees when needed.



Employees of Palram Group, who are not Kibbutz assignees, are employed under personal employment agreements or under a document specifying their working conditions, all pursuant to the provisions of Israel's Employee and Job Candidate Notification (Working Conditions and Screening and Hiring Procedures) Law, 2002 and in accordance with the legislation and regulation existing in each of the countries in which Palram Group employs workers through any of the companies associated with the Group. Their terms of employment are governed by personal contracts, which are determined for each employee based on their qualifications and position.
Employees of Palram in Israel are insured through pension funds or executive insurance, at the employee's discretion and in accordance with the provisions of the law. Israel's labor laws and the Severance Pay Law require the company to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make regular deposits into defined deposit plans pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law. The Group's liability for these measures is treated as a benefit upon the termination of employment, and this arrangement is defined as a "defined deposit plan" under Palram Group's obligations.
Palram Group also employs in Israel a limited number of employees whose employment agreement does not include the aforementioned Section 14. The part of the compensation payments not covered by the Group's defined deposit plan is treated by the Group as a defined benefit plan.
Senior officers are employed under personal agreements. The salary, conditions and social benefits of such officers are determined according to the attributes of their position. In addition to the conditions customary at Palram Group for other employees, they are also entitled to a company car, a mobile phone, managers' insurance and a study fund.
At all locations, personnel policy is aligned with the statutory requirements, such as those for severance, preretirement, and retirement payments.
Palram Group goes beyond compliance by offering employees in the USA an option to join the 401k plan.
The Human Resources department at Palram Group's HQ requires each region and both its substantial companies to perform an annual engagement plan. These include programs such as employee enrichment days, departmental fun days, gifts for employees, celebratory gathering for local holidays, organized company vacations and various activities in honor of important occasions such as Family Day and other pertinent dates.
11The remuneration for Kibbutz assignees is paid by Palram Group directly to the Kibbutz and the agreement provides that no employee-employer relationship exists between Palram Group and the Kibbutz Assignees working in the Group. Accordingly, Palram Group does not accrue obligations for pension, severance pay, and retirement pay to the Kibbutz Assignees. As those components are all paid by the Kibbutz directly.


The Better Health at Work Award recognizes the efforts of employers in the North East and Cumbria who address health and well-being issues within the workplace.
The Group is assessed annually to ensure that it is promoting healthy lifestyles and is mindful of its employees' health. Throughout 2023 the Better Health at Work team promoted health and wellbeing programs such as physical activity, work-life balance, cancer awareness, mental health awareness, and heart health. The information was delivered to employees in a number of ways, including slides on TV screens throughout the site, leaflets, cards, and on-site activity mornings to raise awareness of the various health and wellbeing topics. In 2024 Palram DPL received the Better Health at Work Maintaining Excellence standard award, Having completed a full portfolio of work covering many areas, and improving health and understanding for employees.
The team continued with the Wellbeing Wednesday initiative which sees the whole site being provided with a free healthy breakfast once a month.
All of Palram Group's employees are entitled to parental leave in accordance with local laws. In the reported period, 12 employees took parental leave, of whom 5 are males and 7 females. In addition, 7 employees, 2 female and 5 males, have returned from parental leave during 2024 and 5 employees have completed 12 months of employment at Palram since their return.

Palram Group strives to maintain a workplace free of unlawful discrimination, harassment and bullying, fostering an environment where employees treat one another with decency, respect and kindness. This commitment extends to protecting its employees from harassment incidents caused by non-employees such as customers, clients and suppliers.
Furthermore, the Palram Code of Ethics commits to dignity and equal opportunities in the workplace, reflecting its commitment to fair employment practices and preventing unlawful discrimination against employees, customers, suppliers, and any potential business partners alike.
At Palram group, HR managers in substantial subsidiaries and primary regions serve as appointed sexual harassment prevention officers for their respective companies or regions. All appointed HR managers have received external training to adequately perform this important role. Internal and formal regulations for sexual harassment prevention are published in several languages and are accessible to all employees in accordance with the local laws. The regulation is also provided as part of the corporate application for internal corporate communication. In 2024, three incidents of sexual harassment were reported (compared to two in 2023), all of which were investigated and resolved according to internal procedure.
Every new employee hired by Palram Group undergoes mandatory training on the Code of Ethics, Enforcement Plan and sexual harassment prevention as part of their orientation and/or onboarding process. Every two years, every company employee is required to undergo a code of ethics and sexual harassment prevention refresher training.
The training includes instruction on reporting incidents or violations of the Code of Ethics through various means (appointed sexual harassment prevention officer, enforcement officer, hotline). The company also instructs employees to report incident they witness as a bystander. Additionally, in most subsidiaries and regions, the management team receives in-house training on the prevention of harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

spent on employee training in 202412
Palram Group's training programs in 2024 were designed and implemented based on an inquiry into the Group's training needs, developed by Palram Group's headquarters and implemented with appropriate adjustments in each region and subsidiary. Each region and subsidiary conducted the inquiry among its personnel and designed its training program based on its findings. Programs were then reviewed and approved by the area managers. The training programs were then carried out under the responsibility of the local HR managers or the general manager of the region.
The trainings included statutory requirement, such as safety and regulatory compliance, alongside voluntary customized sessions based on the needs identified during the inquiry.
Palram continues to provide mandatory computerized training on Information security and AI & Cyber risks for all employees who use company computers.
Over 94% of relevant employees completed these trainings in 2024 (compared to 82% in 2023). This improvement resulted from better monitoring and control implemented, following the 2023 performance reduction.
Regarding the Ethics training, which is mandatory every other year, in the years 2023 and 2024 over 90% of employees completed it, the same as in previous years.
As part of Palram Group's ESG strategy, the Group aims to improve its data management procedures regarding employee training and education. This includes better tracking of resources, work hours and evaluations performed, ensuring alignment with various reporting standards and stakeholder requirements.
Recognizing the inevitability of management changes, Palram Group promotes various programs aimed at identifying, qualifying and developing candidates for management and key professional positions, cultivating the next generation of leadership across its various subsidiaries and regions.

In 2024, Palram Group continued its second cycle of Global Champions Program. Each business unit selected several participants based on its relative size. The program's goal is to secure a solid pipeline of high-potential managers ready to lead in these disruptive and challenging times. Sixteen participants from around the globe attended an intensive week in England, engaging in workshops on various themes that were selected by the HR VP and the CEO. This culminated in a Hackathon that produced four innovative projects developed by this impressive group.
Promoting Education and Professional Development Employees, like individuals in general, thrive best when they are free to pursue their own goals while still being guided in the right direction. With this in mind, Palram Group offers financial assistance to support its employees' pursuit of higher education, associate degrees and external trainings across its various regions of operation. This initiative aims to foster both professional and personal growth among the workforces. In addition to financial support, Palram Group also understands the value of time dedicated to studies. Therefore, the Group provides employees with days off from work to focus on their educational endeavors. Eligibility for financial assistance is typically contingent upon full-time employment with Palram Group, and the chosen studies must be relevant to the employee's current position or align with a future role designated by their management.
Managers in Palram Group are required to conduct performance reviews with their employees at least once a year. The performance evaluations conducted by the managers serve several organizational purposes, such as providing both supervisors and employees with the opportunity to discuss work tasks and training needs, identify and correct weaknesses, recognize and encourage strengths and discuss the planning of development – for the organization as well as the employee. Pay raises are also based, among other criteria, on the employee's annual performance review.
12This calculation refers to expenses on external training providers only.




Palram Group is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for its employees. The Group makes every effort to reduce exposure to risk in its manufacturing
Most of Palram Group's regions and substantial subsidiaries use a localized health and safety management system customized for the health and safety needs and risks involved in their operation. At the end of 2023, a new H&S management system was implemented at the Ramat Yohanan site, to improve managing the management of trainings and authorizations for relevant employees, as well as to enhance the monitoring and control of all safetyrelated actions. In each region and subsidiary, the local EHS manager, who reports to the Business Unit Managing Director (BU MD) or CEO, oversees the management of the subject of occupational health and safety. Their responsibilities include prescribing the annual management plan, implementing the H&S management plan and proposing and implementing facilities around the world and in all related operations and guides its employees to exercise caution when carrying out activities posing a possible risk.
initiatives to encourage health and safety among all employees. They also maintain records of work-related injuries, claims and inquiries regarding occupational health and safety concerns. Ultimately, the EHS manager is responsible both for reporting the health and safety status upstream to the CEO and the local safety committee, and for implementing a training for all relevant employees downstream, instilling in them any relevant EHS information and instructions. In certain regions, such as the UK, the EHS manager reports monthly, and all regions and companies are required to submit an annual report, at the very least.
100% of Palram Group's employees are covered by the H&S management system.

Palram Group's dedication to social and environmental responsibility, sustainable development and good corporate citizenship has always been ingrained in its DNA. Since its founding as a small plant by the Israeli community of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, Palram Group has grown into a large worldwide corporation. Its ownership by a collective community with unique features as that of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, then and now, has cemented Palram Group's loyalty to its growing community alongside its corporate progress.
In late 2022, Palram established an ESG Steering Committee to manage all relevant themes within the Palram Group supporting its ongoing commitment to society, the environment and other ESG matters. The committee is made up of the two regional CEOs of Palram Group's PVC and PC activities along with the CEOs of Palram 4U Ltd. and Palram Canopia Ltd. The CEO of Palram Group serves as the chairman of Palram's ESG Steering Committee.
To manage Palram Group's ongoing ESG journey, the Group appointed an ESG manager in 2022. The manager is responsible for coordinating the development of Palram Group's annual ESG report and strategy, reporting to both the ESG Steering Committee and the Board, and overseeing the coordination and management of Palram Group's ESG efforts.
To reflect Palram Group's dedication, Board and management involvement was established as one of the Group's strategic objectives.


Palram Group places great importance on ethical behavior. The Group's success growth, and excellent business relationships, depend on integrity and transparency in all its commercial interactions. Palram Group maintains a zero-tolerance policy for bribery, corruption, fraud and other unlawful activities. The Group relies on each of its managers, employees and partners to promote and foster ethical conduct. Palram Group's responsible business conduct is outlined in its Code of Ethics and managed by the Group's CEO and a designated HQ management committee which includes the HR VP. At the regional or specific entity level, this subject is managed by the local CEO and HR manager. During 2024, Palram Group addressed five incidents of Code of Ethics violations, each handled according to the Company's internal procedures.
Palram Group is committed to conducting business responsibly toward people and the environment, a commitment reflected in its supply chain. The most significant component of the Group's procurement budget is dedicated to materials and raw materials.
Palram sets three primary criteria for selecting its suppliers:
By applying these criteria, The Group ensures fair procurement practices and open competition, creating a diverse range of business partners.
Palram Group's environmental policy states that its products should, as much as possible, be made from environmentally friendly materials. Accordingly, the Group ensures that all raw materials used in its products are lead-free and comply with strict environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH. The policy promotes the use of such environmentally friendly materials even if potentially being more expensive than other alternatives.
Palram Group requires its raw material suppliers to meet relevant environmental standards and comply with the ISO 9001 quality standard.
Palram Group's commitment to integrating sustainability throughout all phases of its operations is also reflected in its efforts to improve traceability and control over external regrind suppliers.
A significant step towards achieving this goal was the development of a new "Regrind Supplier Questionnaire" in 2022, which enables Palram Group to better track and monitor the sustainability practices of its external suppliers.
As part of Palram Group's ESG journey, the Group will adopt a Supplier Code of Conduct reflecting its commitment to social and environmental responsibility across its supply chain.
Palram Group places great importance on complying with the various legal rules applicable to its activities, both on the group level and for individuals operating within the Group.
It assigns equal importance to continuous and complete compliance with all material guidelines set forth in the material laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions of the Group's operation and the material legal positions and material binding directives of each such jurisdiction's regulatory authorities. As a Group operating across various continents as a global manufacturer and distributor of products, Palram Group must assure material compliance with all material local, regional and international standards and regulations.
The internal enforcement program applies to Palram Industries (1990) Ltd. and all levels of the corporation, including all its employees and senior officers. Given their involvement in the Company's activities, it is emphasized that this program and the relevant accompanying procedures will also apply to all subsidiaries and their employees.
In 2023, Palram reviewed and updated the Company's Enforcement Policy, which the Board approved. Palram added on its website a hotline for complaints.
During 2024, Palram Group had no instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. Currently, the company is working with state authorities to renew the business license for its subsidiary site in Tziporit. Therefore, to its knowledge, the Group is in material compliance with all applicable material laws and regulations.

In 2023, Palram reviewed and updated the Group's code of ethics. The new ethical code of Palram was approved by Palram's management and Board in May 2023.
Palram's Code of Ethics formulates standards aimed at shaping and maintaining an ethical corporate culture, while establishing a relationship of trust and integrity between Palram and its shareholders, customers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders.
The code describes in detail the guiding principles and values by which the Group's managers and employees are expected to operate. It is founded on the principle of compliance with the law and specifies the Group's commitments underlying that compliance.

As detailed in the 2024 annual report (pages 40-43), Palram's main risks include those unique to Palram Group and to the industry such as changes in raw material prices and availability, reliance on large customers, cyber risks and regulatory changes in its various operating jurisdictions. The Group's risk map also includes macroeconomic risks such as the consequences of deteriorating security in Israel, where its headquarters and some of its factories are located. Furthermore, logistical risks from the prices and availability of transporting goods and raw materials, as well as global economy risks like inflation and interest rates, are also a key focus.
Most environmental risks identified by Palram Group in previous risk assessments were considered to be at a low-medium level. The main environmental risks identified are managed by preventive actions in full compliance with the environmental laws and regulations at the various jurisdictions of Palram' Groups operation.
Climate risks consist of two main groups – physical risks and transition risks:
Physical Risks Deriving from Climate Change
High temperatures or increased humidity may damage mechanical and electronic equipment in factories or require more intensive maintenance.
As a global company, Palram is exposed to regional climate changes. However, management and the Board of Directors assess that the immediate risk these events having a material impact on the company is limited.
The company stays updated on the various regulations, through its raw material manufacturers, who are at the forefront of dealing with regulators. It's currently too early to assess the potential long-term impact of transition risks Despite the challenges it poses, climate change also presents opportunities for Palram Group as it promotes sustainable processes, products and innovative solutions for the efficient use of resources and energy.

Palram Group owns information security systems and periodically invests in their update and upgrade to protect against cyberattacks and ensure a rapid, effective recovery capability. Palram Group conducts penetration testing, field risk assessments and other tests to gauge the resistance of its information security systems. Annual work plans, based on these results, as well as on surveys and inspections, outline the action methods and timelines.. Recently, Palram Group also instituted a number of protocols and organized work processes for dealing with, and reacting to, cyber crisis, as well as secured insurance coverage of this field.
Palram Group's VP of Information Systems (CIO) and
external information security managers (CISO) oversee the Group's preparation for cyber risk management.

In 2024, Palram Group allocates 400 work hours for internal auditing.

16 Scope 2 (Location-based) emissions for FY 2022-2023 were revised due to adjustments made to our emission factors, the inclusion of previously unreported 2023 electricity data from one site, and a corrected figure from another site.
