1.1 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We believe that good corporate governance is guided by ethical and trustworthy leadership. The Board is the primary decision-making body of the Company and is responsible for overseeing our businesses, strategic decisions and performance. Our Board is supported by three committees: the Audit and Risk Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Nomination Committee, for overseeing particular aspects of the Company's affairs.
We have adopted a board diversity policy, seeking to achieve Board diversity through the consideration of factors including but not limited to gender, age, culture and educational background, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and industry and regional experience. In 2024, we enhance the diversity and skillset of the Board by adding a new female Director Ms. Bin Yu, who has extensive experience in risk management and financial management.

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the Company's risk management and internal control systems and reviewing their effectiveness. The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board in leading the management and monitoring and overseeing the risk management and internal control systems. The internal audit department monitors the implementation of our risk management policies on an ongoing basis to ensure our policies and implementation are effective and sufficient. It identifies any material risks and makes recommendations on the improvement and rectification plans and measures and conducts follow-up audits with regard to the identified issues to ensure that the planned remedial measures have been duly implemented.
Risks related to strategy, operation, finance, and compliance are reviewed and assessed on a regular basis, and we identify the potential impacts of events, likelihoods and mitigating factors.

Auditing, risk management and internal control are closely interconnected to enhance the Company's governance and operational effectiveness. The internal audit department develops an annual audit plan. From 2022 to 2024, it has conducted process audits on important business modules, such as the material inventory management. Improvements measures were proposed based on audit findings to enhance detection, correction, risk prevention and mitigation. Process-related management systems will be further developed in the future to track improvements in a systematic and effective manner, thus strengthening internal control and risk management.

Conducting business ethically and doing the right thing are vital to the success of the Company. Complying with the Company Law of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), the Anti-Money Laundering Law of the PRC, the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the PRC, and other laws and regulations, we have formulated the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Compliance Management Policy, the Conflict of Interest Policy, and the Employee Appeal and Whistle-blowing Process to help guide our employees perform in the right way. All policies were adopted to emphasize the Company's commitment to the highest standards of business conduct, and are applied to all employees of the Company.
The Audit and Risk Committee is the governance body responsible for oversight of business ethics issues. The human resources department, internal audit department and legal department are responsible for implementing and monitoring the policies, and the Board reviews them on a regular basis. To communicate the details of the policies to all staff members, the relevant policies are provided to new staff members and current staff members will receive updates via email, the OA system and the training learning development platform.
1.3.1 Training and Promotion
We strive to prevent bribery and corruption, ensuring our employees receive sufficient training on compliance. The Company has adopted the Anti-Corruption Policy which sets out the specific behavioural guidelines that our personnel and business partners must follow to prevent and report corruption. The Code of Business Conduct is also clearly outlined in the Employee Handbook, which sets out several codes of business conduct relating to integrity, fair competition, etc., to promote honest and ethical behavior, encourage openness and transparency in all business dealings, and eliminate corruption and bribery.
100% of our employees have signed the Employee Handbook Acknowledgement Form to confirm full understanding of the business ethics provisions contained therein, and new employees are required to learn about business ethics in the Employee Handbook through the online training platform after joining the Company. Meanwhile, we distribute anti-corruption related publicity materials to Directors from time to time, emphasizing the importance of business compliance. Any employee who takes a bribe from any business partner for the purpose of getting business will be subject to penalties or termination of labor contracts.

2 DELIVERING DELICACY
We foster a culture of food safety and quality from farm to fork. Over the years, we have established an advanced food safety and quality management system. Each day, we want to preserve good food experience while ensuring that rich flavors do not have to be at the expense of health or quality. In collaboration with our suppliers and business partners, we strive to deliver not only delicious food but also a positive impact on people and the planet.
2.1 FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY

We strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations including the Food Safety Law of the PRC, the Implementation Rules of the Food Safety Law of the PRC, the Administrative Measures for Food Operation Licensing, the Administrative Measures for Food Recall and other relevant regulations. We have formulated the Food Safety Management Policy, the Food Safety Manual, the Recall Control Procedure and other policies encompassing food safety and quality management of the entire value chain, including upstream suppliers, central kitchens, restaurants, and delivery services, so as to control and minimize risks and meet or exceed standards of food safety and quality.

Food Safety and Quality Management Measures
DPC DASH LTD Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024
2 DELIVERING DELICACY
2.1.2.1 Food Safety and Quality Assurance
Our commitment to high standard food safety is embedded across all our stores and central kitchens.
Our stores undergo internal QA audits, second-party audits, and third-party audits (Food Safety Evaluation (the "FSE") audits). In terms of the internal QA audits, our stores undergo tiering audits regularly every year under the FSE system. Quarterly audits are carried out at all of our stores. Follow-up internal audits are carried out at stores that are identified as having high-potential operational deficiency in the following month after initial audits to ensure rectification are executed. Double internal audits are performed in the following quarterly audit for stores that are identified as having potential operational deficiency. In 2024, the internal QA audits covered 100% of our stores.

2024 Store Audits Coverage
Our central kitchens are audited by internal team and third parties. During the Reporting Period, central kitchens in Shanghai, Dongguan and Sanhe were audited at least 1 time by the internal audit team. Moreover, our central kitchen in Shanghai has passed the third-party audit under the FSSC 22000 certification, and our central kitchen in Dongguan passed the HACCP third-party annual audit.
2.1.2.2 Food Safety and Quality Training
There's no gray area when it comes to food safety. With over 28,000 employees working across 1,008 stores, food safety culture is of utmost importance to our food safety management.
The Company has developed sustainable food safety training procedures for all employees. Our employees are monitored compliance with the Good Manufacture Practice (the "GMP") and are required to participate in mandatory training and tests relating to food safety, with a focus on relevant regulations and standards, FSSC standards, HACCP policies, prevention of food-borne illnesses, sanitation and other topics.
DPC DASH LTD Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024
2 DELIVERING DELICACY
In 2024, 100% of store operation employees participated in the food safety training, including operation directors, district managers, area managers, store managers, and part-time servers. The training topics involved laws and regulations, our commitment, employee responsibilities, and key points centered on food safety. Through the training, we aim to emphasize the importance of food safety so as to make sure food safety is top of minds for our employees.
Employees in central kitchens actively participate in food safety training, such as FSSC 22000 internal auditor training and food safety risk exchange seminars, to improve food safety management knowledge. In 2024, a total of 16 internal employee trainings on topics of regulations and standards, FSSC 22000 standards, HACCP basics, GMP were conducted targeting at employees in central kitchens and third-party drivers.
In addition to trainings, we make food safety performance one of the key performance metrics in the bonus program for store managers and impose penalties on store managers or area managers for failure to observe our food safety policies.
2.1.2.3 Recall Procedure
We continually monitor the food we serve for compliance with our requirements. We have well-established and effective recall control procedures specified in the Recall Control Procedure and the Stock Recovery Procedure to deal with food safety incidents identified through self-inspection, public complaints, and notification by the supervisory and management authorities. Depending on the severity level of food incidents, corresponding recall procedures will be undertaken. In detail, food recalls are classified into Level I, II and III, and recall procedures shall be initiated within 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours respectively when the Company is aware of the food safety risk. Further, a recall plan shall be reported to the local food and drug administration authorities at or above the county level.
During the Reporting Period, we had no incidents in which the products sold or shipped were subject to recalls for safety and health reasons.
DPC DASH LTD Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024
2 DELIVERING DELICACY
2.1.3 Supplier Food Safety and Quality Management
Maintaining high food quality relies heavily on strong supplier relationships, and we expect every supplier to meet our high standards. This includes obtaining various certifications. Our suppliers are categorized into high-risk suppliers, medium-risk suppliers, and low-risk suppliers based on the results of supplier daily management. We require high-risk suppliers of ingredients and food packages obtain Global Food Safety Initiative certification (e.g. FSSC 22000), medium-risk suppliers of ingredients and food packages obtain ISO 22000 certification or British Retail Consortium certification, and low-risk suppliers of ingredients and food packages obtain HACCP certification.
We also implement supplier audit programs to ensure that food safety and quality assurance are applied throughout our value chain. We explicitly require new suppliers must pass a food safety audit prior to entry, and 100% on-site audit coverage for new suppliers, medium-risk and high-risk suppliers. Our suppliers are vetted and frequently audited by our QA team to confirm they meet our requirements for safe and high-quality production. To the extent we identify problems with a supplier through our audits, monthly reports, or product issues reported at our warehouses, we liaise with the supplier to see if they are able to rectify the issue. Otherwise, we will terminate our relationship with suppliers who cannot meet our standards. If the suppliers breach applicable laws and regulations regarding food safety and quality or commit misconduct, we will also terminate the partnership. In 2024, a total of 208 supplier food safety and quality audits were completed.
In daily operation, our central kitchens and stores also closely inspect goods delivered by suppliers to ensure quality. Goods that do not conform to our requirements, food safety laws or other regulations would be returned to suppliers.
Our suppliers also receive relevant food quality standards and quality assurance training, designed to better fulfil food safety requirements. In 2024, based on suppliers' performance in food safety and quality, we conducted on-site training on topics of clean production, sterilization principles, etc. We also conducted online training and communication with some of our high-risk suppliers on key food safety and quality issues to improve their food safety and quality risk management.

Customers can provide instant feedback, and we hear each feedback about our product and service to make improvement. Once complaints or feedback are identified, we will develop corresponding countermeasures to make sure that they are appropriately addressed. We have designated personnels to collect and reply to low-scoring comments from external channels and report them to the operation team. In terms of our own platform, the negative and low-scoring comments will be automatically captured and entered into the customer complaint system, forwarded to the operation team. All low-scoring comments are required to be handled within 24 hours.
On a more holistic level, key members of our management team review the analyses and summaries of customer feedback every month to formulate strategies for improving our customer satisfaction. If there is a food safety complaint, our quality assurance and supply chain teams are also engaged to investigate and ensure that any issues are rectified.
We also conduct customer satisfaction survey to improve our product and service. Consumers can choose to score and evaluate the products and services on our own platforms and third-party delivery platforms, all of which will be continuously tracked to improve our services in a timely manner. At the same time, we order a comprehensive consumer survey report from third-party every year to help further improve customer satisfaction. The average consumer satisfaction scores of Ele.me and Meituan in 2024 received high marks of 4.81 and 4.7 out of 5 respectively.
During the Reporting Period, we did not receive any material customer complaints concerning any of our stores or products.

2.4 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Our supply chain plays a crucial part in ensuring our food reaches customers. We have formulated the Suppliers Management System, the Supplier Classification Management Process, the New Supplier Development Process, the Supplier Exit Mechanism and other policies that set out supplier management guidelines to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain management and to create a resilient supply chain that supports the Company's rapid and sustainable growth.
2.4.1 Supplier Acceptance
When engaging new suppliers, we have stringent supplier selection processes in place, including background and qualification checks, sample testing and trial production. A supplier approval process is established, through which suppliers must provide relevant qualifications or certifications, such as business licenses or food production licenses to demonstrate legal compliance with policies before approval.

Supplier Acceptance Process
Once a supplier passes the above procedures, they will be added to our list of qualified suppliers. Before signing the contract, we may conduct a competitive bidding process among our qualified suppliers, where cost, product quality and other factors are evaluated.
Based on the importance of the ingredient to our brand, suppliers can be categorized into core suppliers, critical suppliers, contract management suppliers, and procurement relationship suppliers. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 142 qualified suppliers, all of which located in China.

In our daily management, we implement tools such as performance evaluations, business review meetings and supplier visits for different categories of suppliers to examine and review their performance in innovation, safety and delivery quality, etc., strengthening partnerships with suppliers. Through annual performance evaluation, we achieve supplier hierarchy management. For suppliers with problems, we communicate with them on rectification plans and conduct follow-ups to help them continuously improve their products and services. Suppliers who have failed to rectify their problems will be considered for elimination.
We strive to develop a stable supply chain while maintaining operations. To minimize supply fluctuation, we use data analysis to monitor price fluctuations, take a flexible approach to negotiate the length of our contracts, leverage our scale and adopt a multi-supplier approach to remain nimble.
Furthermore, we are leveraging digital innovation to improve our supply chain management. The Supplier Relationship Management system has been introduced to facilitate procurement process standardization, improve supply chain management efficiency and reduce paper cost. With the rapid growth of stores and the business needs, we also launched the Transportation Management System (the "TMS") to meet the supply chain's needs for data and cost optimization of cargo transportation. TMS provides real-time visibility into the movement of goods and enhances route planning and scheduling, leading to better tracking, faster deliveries and fuel consumption reduction.
During the Reporting Period, we did not experience any material shortage, delay or interruption with respect to the supply of food ingredients or non-food supplies from our suppliers, any material breach or early termination of our contractual arrangements with suppliers which materially affected our business operations, or any material fluctuations in the price of food ingredients or non-food supplies.
2.4.3 Sustainable Supply Chain
We are sourcing our key ingredients sustainably, with a specific goal to provide safe and responsible food. All suppliers are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and to meet environmental, social, integrity and food safety expectations, and are encouraged to make continuous improvement in ESG.
In 2024, we conducted a survey of existing suppliers and found that part of them have relevant ESG projects on the ground or in progress, relating to energy saving and emission reduction, photovoltaic and sewage recycling. We will focus on these suppliers and prioritize our cooperation.
Under equal conditions, we generally look for suppliers who are located close to our central kitchens to reduce costs and minimize environmental impact on logistics and transportation.

4.1 CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND CARBON REDUCTION
Against the backdrop of global attention to climate change, the industry faces a range of opportunities and challenges in its low-carbon transition. We proactively identify and assess the impact of transition risks and physical risks, and incorporate them into our overall risk management process and operational planning to enhance climate adaptability and achieve resilient development.
4.1.1 Transition Risks
Policy and legal risk
Compliance with PRC's regulations is a requirement for us. In alignment of the PRC's carbon peak and neutrality goals, we may incur additional costs to purchase renewable energy, replace undegradable packaging, promote sustainable sourcing and engage in low-carbon product development.
Recognizing the importance of low-carbon transition, we actively explore opportunities in renewable energy, degradable packaging and sustainable sourcing of raw materials in response to related national policies and work collaboratively with all parties to tackle climate change challenges together.
Technology risk
Climate change may pose requirements on our technology, leading the substitution of existing products and services with lower emissions options, including but not limited to renewable energy, packaging or equipment.
We are introducing low-carbon equipment and technology to our central kitchens and stores. In addition, we are testing and deploying digital systems to reduce the carbon footprint of distribution and delivery.
DPC DASH LTD Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024
4 PROTECTING PLANET
Market risk
Our business relies on a number of third-party suppliers, which can be influenced by climate change. Risks due to adverse changes in the supply price, quality, and supply and demand of raw materials or equipment, or even interruption of supply may impact our operation.
To minimize supply fluctuation, we regularly assess fluctuations to monitor raw material availability. Besides, we already dual source the majority of key ingredients and collaborate with suppliers across different geographics to mitigate risks.
Reputation risk
Climate change can affect our reputation among consumers and other stakeholders through our actions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting climate actions, etc. If we ignore or fail to contribute to climate change, we may face reputational damage and loss of market share.
We conduct consumer surveys that allow us to understand expectations and improve reputation within the context of the food industry. For example, we are aware of consumers' opinions on packaging and food options, then we are working on these topics to improve reputation.
4.1.2 Physical Risks
Acute and chronic risk
Our business is dependent on the prompt delivery and transportation of our raw materials and food ingredients. We are aware that events that disrupt our operations, such as fires, floods, or other natural disasters, may materially and adversely affect our business operations.
To ensure the supply of goods and the normal operation of the stores, we have established a crisis management team and formulated the Supply Safety Emergency Response Management Policy and Emergency Response Plan to minimize our risk exposure in the event of rainstorms, floods, earthquakes or other extreme weather conditions or natural disasters.

4.5.2 Other Wastes
Our main sources of waste are solid waste, wastewater and a limited amount of smoke. We obtained the Environmental Impact Assessment for all completed construction projects, discharged sewage and waste meeting relevant standards, and caused no noise or soil pollution to the surrounding communities.
DPC DASH LTD Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024
4 PROTECTING PLANET
We adopt various measures to reduce solid waste:
Hazardous waste
Entering into disposal agreements with third parties with relevant qualifications regarding the limited amount of hazardous waste generated from our central kitchen, which includes used filter screens, waste activated carbon and laboratory waste
Non-hazardous waste
Entering into disposal agreements with local authorities in the PRC to handle our non-hazardous waste
We implement several measures to address wastewater and exhaust emissions. We hire third-party evaluators to conduct annual water quality testing and ensure that we discharge sewage that meets standards into urban sewage systems, minimizing our environmental impact. Additionally, we comply with regulations by installing fume extractors, smoke vents, and smoke purifiers in our store, conducting regular cleaning and maintenance as required by local authorities.
In parallel, we prioritize the environmental protection awareness of our employees. We provide them with information about environmental issues and encourage them to adopt environmentally responsible practices both at work and in their communities. To further reduce waste, we mandate training sessions and tests on waste reduction that all employees must complete.
