The Zagreb Stock Exchange was compliant with the following laws in 2021:

1. Labour Act

1. Occupational Health and Safety Act

The Company is not obliged to follow the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act.

During 2021, there were no inspections carried out by any regulatory authority in the field of social rights, as well as violations of applicable laws, regulations or standards and no remedial actions or prescribed penalties were taken relating to such violations.

In addition to timely notifications of work from home due to unfavourable epidemiological conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Croatia, there were no material notices, reports and other communication on Environmental and Social Matters relating to the Company's business and operations submitted by the Company to any regulatory authority.

Attachment 3. Information on workplace health and safety management

The Company recognises the importance of avoiding or mitigating adverse health and safety impacts and issues on workers.

The Company has adopted Occupational and Safety Regulation that sets out its approach to its size and workforce in accordance with national law.

On 13 October 2021, an examination of the working environment was carried out in accordance with Art. 42 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Official Gazette 71/14, 118/14, 94/18, 96/18; hereinafter: the Act) by the Institute for Security Zagreb, Inc. (hereinafter: the Institute). The examination was conducted due to the obligation of periodic inspection according to Art. 45 of the Act and Art. 6. Ordinance on working environment testing (Official Gazette 16/16), as well as due to changes in the space carried out earlier in the year. The types of tests performed were microclimate for the transition period, noise and illumination. Everything was determined to be satisfactory. At the same time, the Institute made a report on internal supervision over the application of occupational safety rules, which established compliance with all basic and special rules of occupational safety. During the compilation of the report, the latest reports of the building on the inspection of the elevator and the inspection and testing of the stable fire alarm system were submitted to the Institute. Based on that, a new risk assessment was submitted, along with the report of October 25, 2021, which stated that during the assessment, Exchange employees participated in determining the dangers, harms and efforts in terms of occupational injuries, occupational diseases and diseases related to work and disturbances in the work process.

On October 18, 2021, a new decision was made on the persons in charge of providing first aid to workers.

In December 2021, training and testing of the knowledge of the employer and the employer's authorized person in occupational safety was carried out.

The Company provides its workers with relevant information, guidance and training related to health and safety hazard, risks, protective and preventive measures and emergency arrangements that are necessary for their safety.

In connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company provided all workers with technical conditions for work from home and the continuity of the Company's operations was not endangered.

In 2021, there were no major injuries at work, accidents causing any losses of work time or near misses, or remedial actions undertaken or planned by the Company. In 2021, two new workers were hired who participated in a course of training for working in a safe manner and protecting against fire. Four (4) employees were sent to mandatory control of the vision.
