LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND THE CEO

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,

Ido Rodoy Chairman of the Board Shai Michael CEO

Contributing to The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

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.

"Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages"

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.

"Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth,full and productive employment and decent work for all"

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.

"Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation."

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.

"Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns."

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.

"Achieve gender equality and empower women."

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' s ESG strategy

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.

The Process:

Incorporating ESG aspects into the Group's business strategy through a process that originates in its vision and values.

Mission:

As a global Group, we strive to be a leading international company while preserving our unique character.

Core values:

  • Creativity and innovation - Leading the market by encouraging the pursuit of creative solutions that break conventions and integrate innovation.
  • Agility – Palram Group promotes flexibility and quick responses to changing circumstances while maintaining focus on purpose and effectiveness.
  • Accountability for the environment, people, and law.
  • Honesty and integrity – Our decision-making and behavior are guided by honesty, personal ethics, and being loyal to the truth.
  • Teamwork and collaboration – The Group's success depends on achieving shared goals through respect for others, mutual responsibility, teamwork, and individual contributions to our collective efforts.
  • Make things happen - Our success relies on executing defined tasks with professionalism and excellence.

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.

We concentrated on the most critical issues and defined the following ESG strategic objectives:

  • Reducing environmental footprint and incorporating circular economy
  • Promoting sustainable products
  • Employee engagement providing a supportive, safe, promotive, decent, diverse, and inclusive workplace
  • Growing our impact on communities
  • Diverse Board and executive management
  • Strengthening business ethics
  • Continued development in ESG management

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:

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 Contribution to Reducing Emissions – Polycarbonate Skylights

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.

Estimated additional potential Saving on Electric Lighting

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.

Development for Sustainability

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:

    1. BIOBASE: A family of polycarbonate products made of resin that is 89% attributed to renewable sources via mass balance. Renewable materials replace traditional polycarbonate resin that is a derivative of non- renewable fossil fuel material.
    1. PALBOARD TERRA: A sheet that contains postconsumer landfill destination waste – is offered in a limited product range with the plan to continue and increase the product availability based on market requirements.
    1. RECLAME: Family of products produced with 30-60% post-industrial material.

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.

S ustainable Innovation

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.

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

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:

  • Sourcing recycled material from external suppliers and from reprocessed scrap from its own production.
  • Almost all PC and PVC post-production scraps are recycled in-house in a closed-loop system, reprocessed into a final product. This not only reduces waste but also cuts scrap costs, making the production process more efficient and cost-effective.
  • Other significant materials, such as aluminum, are returned to the manufacturer for reuse.

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.

Production Waste Circularity

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.

Developing New Recycling Technologies

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:

    1. Biobase is a family of polycarbonate products manufactured from resin that is 89% attributed to renewable sources via mass balance. These renewable materials replace traditional polycarbonate resin which is a derivative of non-renewable fossil fuel material.
    1. PALBOARD TERRA is a sheet that incorporates postconsumer landfill- destined waste. It is currently offered in a limited product range with plans to increase its availability based on market requirements..

Promoting Consumer Awareness

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:

  • Daylighting products that improve energy efficiency at the customer site.
  • Products that help customers earn LEED credits.
  • Durable, long-service products that reduce waste.
  • 100% recyclable products.

All these contribute to a reduced carbon footprint for Palram Group's clients.

Sustainable Production

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.

Wate r And Wastewater

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.

Climate Change

Scope 1

2,979

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.

Energy Management

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.

Shifting to Renewable Energy Sources

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.

Energy Efficient Initiatives

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.

Palram Group's carbon 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:

  • Scope 1 Emissions - Palram Group's direct emissions, derived from both its manufacturing operations and its vehicle fleet. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions amounted to 2,979 tCO2e, representing a 2% increase compared to 2023. 2024 is the first year that natural gas consumption for heating is reported, under Scope 1; calculations have been applied retroactively to previous years for consistency.
  • Scope 2 Emissions – Palram Group's indirect emissions, derived from the electricity purchased for its manufacturing and administrative operations. In 2024, Palram Group's Scope 2 (Location-based) emissions amounted to 19,220 tCO2e, an 11% increase compared to 2023, mainly due to higher electricity consumption at our production site in Ramat Yohanan, and P4U site in Israel, following operational expansion. Relative to the 2022 base year, however, these emissions represent a 6% reduction. This year, for the first time, we calculated Scope 2 emissions (Market-based) for 2024, which amounted to 22,080 tCO2e.
  • Scope 3 Emissions – Palram Group's ESG Steering Committee will consider the assessment of the group's full Scope 3 emissions.

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 GHG Emissions Intensity [(tCO2e) / Revenue (M NIS)]

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.

Air quality

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:

  • The Total Organic Carbon (TOC) value will not exceed a concentration of 50 mg/m3 or an emission rate of 0.5 kg/hour.
  • Factory chimneys are not required to be sampled for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) due to the nonlarge-scale use of volatile raw materials that would require this sampling.

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.

Waste Management

Industrial companies can negatively impact the environment through manufacturing processes that produce waste or as a result of their business relationships.

Some of the activities that can contribute to waste production at Palram Group include:

  • Extraction of raw materials: The extraction of raw materials, such as minerals, metals and fossil fuels used for manufacturing PC and PVC, can generate a significant amount of waste.
  • The production process itself.
  • End of life: Palram Group's products are physical products. As such, at the end of use, they are disposed of as waste.

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.

Palram follows the Three Rs of waste reduction – Refuse, Reduce, Recycle:

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.

Managing the negative impacts of manufacturing waste at Palram DPL, UK.

Palram DPL, a manufacturing site of Palram Europe Ltd. in the UK, implements several measures to manage its manufacturing waste effectively, including:

  • Preventing waste through the design of more efficient and less wasteful processes.
  • Reducing post-production waste by recycling and reusing materials.
  • Waste disposal: DPL disposes of waste in an environmentally responsible manner.

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.

ESG Management in Palram Group

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 requires its raw material suppliers to meet relevant environmental standards and comply with the ISO 9001 quality standard.

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.

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.

Environmental And Climate Risk Management

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

Climate risks consist of two main groups – physical risks and transition risks:

Physical Risks Deriving from Climate Change

1. Risks to Production Sites and Infrastructure

  • Climate change may result in an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events: floods, storms, rising sea levels, extreme heat waves, etc.
  • Sites located in sensitive areas (e.g., near the sea or in areas prone to flooding) may be exposed to damage to infrastructure, power outages, delays in the supply of raw materials, etc.

2. Supply Chain Disruption

  • Natural disasters or extreme weather events in raw material producing countries or at logistics and distribution centers may cause delays, higher transportation costs, or shortages of essential materials.
  • Increased insurance costs, due to increased risk of physical damage to facilities, equipment or infrastructure.

3. Accelerated Wear and Technical Failures

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.

Transition Risks

4. Technological Changes

  • A global transition to technologies and production processes with lower emissions require investment in new equipment and adaptation of the production line.
  • Technological gaps and competition may affect profitability and production capacity, if competitors adopt greener or cheaper technologies more quickly.

5. Changes in Consumer Preferences

  • Shifting demand for biodegradable products (Biobased Plastics) or solutions with higher recycling rates.
  • Pressures to switch to more environmentally friendly polycarbonate (PC) or to products without hazardous chemicals, at the expense of PVC which is considered less "green" in some respects.

6. Increasing Prices of Raw Materials or 'Brown' Energy

  • If carbon taxes or emission quotas are imposed on factories, or if fossil energy prices increase due to regulation, oil-based production may become more expensive.
  • Requires strategic preparation for alternative and efficient energy sources.

7. Tightening Environmental Regulations and Restrictive Legislation

  • Many countries, especially in the European Union, the UK and the US, are tightening laws and regulations related to plastics use, recycling, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon tax.
  • There may also be a tightening of carbon emission quotas or emissions pricing requirements (Cap & Trade), which could increase the price of raw materials or production costs.

8. Regulation of Chemicals in Plastic Products

  • Legislation and standards relating to hazardous components such as PVC additives (e.g. Phthalates), bans or restrictions on certain raw materials.
  • Changes in environmental legislation may require a transition to less-polluting raw materials, or investment in costly filtration and environmental restoration technologies.

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.

Cyber Security, Data Protection And Information Security

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.

Palram Group provides mandatory annual training on information security and data privacy for all employees and contractors who use the Group's internal computers and communication systems. In 2024, one "phishing campaign" was conducted to test employee awareness (Same as in 2023).

Additionally, employees who handle Palram Group's business credit cards undergo annual training dedicated to credit card information security. In 2024 Palram reported no complaints regarding privacy breaches or data loss.

Auditi ng Processes Internal Audits

Palram's internal audits are conducted by an internal auditor, unanimously appointed by the Board in November 2018.

The audits follow an annual plan based on Palram's risk assessment and are overseen by the Boards Audit Committee. The plan covers financial, operational, and ethical issues, as well as compliance, data security, and privacy. For each topic, the auditor reviews adherence to regulatory requirements, internal codes, policies and procedures, fraud prevention and KPI setting and measurement. All audit are performed in accordance with accepted professional standards and the guidance of the Audit Committee, as pursuant to Section 4(b) of Israel's Internal Auditing Law, 5752-1992.

In accordance with section 9 of Israel's Internal Auditing Law, the internal auditor is granted complete freedom of action and unmediated access to the Group's information systems, including the company's financial data. During 2024, written audit reports on Mergers and Acquisitions, the Quality Assurance system, and Information Security were submitted and discussed. The audit committee held two meetings to address internal audit subjects, and regular reports on the internal auditor's findings were provided to the company's board of directors. In 2024, Palram Group allocates 400 work hours for internal auditing.

External Auditing

The external audit of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are registered and operate in Israel and the UK, is conducted by EY Israel (Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, CPAs). Audits for the Group's other subsidiaries are performed by various firms: E&Y in Germany, Buckno-Lisicky & Co., CPAs, in the US, Grand Thornton in Australia, BDO in South Africa, and RGE in France. Palram's external audits are primarily executed for financial and internal control purposes. Their main objective is to provide the external auditors' certification that the annual consolidated financial statements accurately represent Palram Group's financial position in all material aspects and in accordance with IFRS.
