ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 2 Message from Chairman Dear Shareholders, I am especially proud and deeply grateful to address you through Sarans Group’s 2025 Integrated Annual Report. Over the past year, our Group has once again demonstrated its resilience and dynamism, navigang a complex and rapidly evolving internaonal environment with agility and determinaon. At the same me, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to sustainable, long-term growth. In 2025, we connued to invest systemacally in our core categories, enhance operaonal efficiency, foster innovaon and further develop the capabilies of our people, despite ongoing geo-economic and operaonal challenges. These strategic iniaves translated into robust financial performance, delivering sustainable and significant value to our shareholders. At the same me, we reinforced our corporate governance and business ethics framework, ensuring transparency and responsible pracces across all of the Group’s operaons. Strengthening Corporate Governance As the Group connues its dynamic trajectory, strengthening our corporate governance framework remains a cornerstone of our strategy. The year 2025 marked a significant milestone in this area, with the implementaon of a key iniave that enhanced both transparency and strategic oversight. On December 17, 2025, the restructuring of the Board of Directors was completed, resulng in a new eight-member composion that substanally increased the proporon of independent non-execuve directors and improved representaon of the underrepresented gender. This development reflects our commitment to robust and effecve governance, fully aligning with internaonal best pracces and contemporary corporate governance standards. The renewed composion of the Board of Directors, together with the acve work of its Commiees, further enhances our capacity to define and oversee the Group’s strategy with a long-term perspecve, while addressing the expectaons of all stakeholders. In line with our comprehensive approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) maers, the Board’s oversight connued throughout 2025, supporng the development and monitoring of the Group’s sustainability strategy and ensuring that ESG principles are consistently embedded in our business planning and operaons. During the year, we also presented our ESG framework, outlining key objecves and a clear implementaon roadmap, while expanding our external engagement through collaboraons with internaonal rang agencies and iniang the corresponding assessment processes. A Heartfelt Thank You None of our achievements would have been possible without the trust, dedicaon, and collaboraon of our people, partners, and all stakeholders. As we look toward 2026, we remain opmisc about the future, with a connued focus on growth, innovaon, and nurturing strong, lasng relaonships with everyone who contributes to our journey. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere gratude for your ongoing support. We remain fully commied to creang long-term value and making a posive impact in the communies where we operate. Personally, I extend my hearelt thanks to each of you for your trust and collaboraon with Sarans Group, and I look forward to sharing another successful year together. Kyriakos Sarantis Sarantis Group Executive Chairman
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 3 Μessage from CEO , Dear ShareholdersWe are parcularly proud to present Sarans Group’s 2025 Integrated Annual Report, highlighng a year in which the Group demonstrated strategic consistency, operaonal resilience and strong performance in a demanding and highly compeve environment. Building on the solid foundaons established in previous years—especially in 2024we connued to strengthen our posion in the markets where we operate, maintaining a clear focus on creang long-term value. Through our commitment to operaonal excellence, disciplined cost management, and targeted investments in our core product porolio, we sustained steady growth momentum, enhanced profitability, and improved margins, despite the challenges posed by the internaonal economic environment. Operaonal progress and strategic implementaon In 2025, we steadily advanced the execuon of key strategic iniaves aimed at enhancing the Group’s long-term compeveness and resilience. The SAP S/4HANA implementaon was successfully completed in the inial wave of countries, with the second wave progressing successfully in January 2026. At the same me, we connued to invest in our supply chain infrastructure in Poland and Greece, in line with our investment plan. Moreover, the compleon of the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) program further strengthened operaonal coordinaon, transparency, and decision- making efficiency across the Group. The disciplined execuon of these iniaves, together with our ongoing focus on operaonal excellence, played a central role in sustaining robust profitability and improving profit margins at the Group level. Internaonal growth and expansion into the US market As part of our internaonal growth strategy, 2025 marked a milestone year with the expansion of our physical presence in the United States. Following our successful entry into the online channel, the launch of in-store deliveries of Carroten brand products represents a significant step forward, granng access to a dynamic new consumer base and strengthening the Group’s global footprint. This iniave forms part of our broader strategy for geographical diversificaon and the targeted development of high-growth markets, laying a strong foundaon for future performance enhancement and long-term value creaon. Outlook and strategic direcon Looking ahead to 2026, we remain fully commied to the disciplined execuon of our strategy, the connuous enhancement of our compeveness, and the sustainable growth and profitability of the Group. Our strategy for 2025 and beyond emphasizes the ongoing improvement of the consumer experience, the strengthening of our product porolio with innovave soluons, and the creaon of long-term value for all stakeholders. A sincere Thank You I would like to extend my hearelt gratude to our people across all markets for their dedicaon, adaptability and professionalism throughout 2025, as well as to our partners and shareholders for their connued trust and support. Their contribuons are fundamental to the Group’s achievements and ongoing success. With strong foundaons, a clear strategic direcon, and a high level of operaonal discipline, we are confident that Sarans Group will connue to create long-term value and further consolidate its posion in internaonal markets.

This Report also refers to Alternative Performance Measurement Indicators in paragraph 2.14. 2.2 PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION Sarantis Group remains committed to the implementation of its strategic growth plan based on three pillars: 1) strong and consistent growth of its business base with the complementary exploration of growth opportunities through acquisitions to follow, 2) simplification of internal processes and operations and efficiency, in order to create value and release energy in the organization, 3) further enhancing the organizational capacity of the Group by upgrading the skills of its people and developing their leadership skills. In this context and in conjunction with the three strategic pillars, the Group continues to focus on rationalizing its product portfolio, further strengthening its HERO products, i.e. high value products in each strategic category where the Group operates, which can lead to the further profitability and sustainable development of the Group. These strategic directions as a whole aim to create value for all the Group's stakeholders and, during 2025, the Group maintained high sales levels, driven by positive contributions from key geographical regions and strategic product categories. At the same time, the emphasis on operational efficiency and cost control contributed significantly to further enhancing profitability.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 11 Progress Update on the Group's Strategic Pillars As part of the first pillar of the Group’s strategy to further grow sales and profits organically, emphasis is given in optimizing and enhancing its product portfolio, leveraging the strong brand equity within its strategic product categories across its geographical region. Targeted investments and innovation plans are allocated behind strategic product development initiatives to drive further growth across the Group’s territory and generate value. The Group’s systematic focus on its HERO product portfolio - high-value products within strategic categories - has become a cornerstone of its strategy and identity. This approach enhances market differentiation, strengthens brand positioning and delivers a more targeted and qualitative consumer experience. From 2021 through the first half of 2025, the Group undertook an extensive product portfolio rationalization initiative, including the product portfolio of Stella Pack, aimed at enhancing profitability and reinforcing long-term sustainability. As part of this effort, low-priority products with limited added value were phased out, while targeted investments and support actions were directed toward the HERO portfolio. Now embedded in the Group’s overall business approach, this strategic focus continues to strengthen competitiveness, deepen consumer connection and significantly support the Group’s positive growth outlook. Furthermore, the operational integration of Stella Pack, the Polish consumer goods company acquired in January 2024, was successfully completed, further supporting the Group’s organic growth. In line with the Group’s strategy to continuously optimize operational efficiency and its production footprint, the optimization of Stella Pack’s supply chain was finalized in 2025, enabling the realization of synergies and reinforcing the Group’s production and operational presence in Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, investments in the recycling (regranulation) sector were completed during the year, further strengthening the Group’s commitment to responsible production practices and the principles of the circular economy. Regarding the Group's second strategic pillar, to simplify internal processes and operations and further enhance the Group's efficiency and effectiveness, investments have been activated in areas related to automation, infrastructure, systems, and the streamlining of supply chain processes. Specifically, the acceleration of digital transformation through the use of new, modern tools and platforms is at the core of the Group's focus, aiming to optimize operational processes, create a stronger business environment and enhance its competitive advantages. Digital transformation will provide increased and improved information capabilities regarding the consumer and the markets in which the Group operates. This will enable the Group to respond more quickly to consumer needs, offering even better solutions for everyday life and enhancing the consumer experience with a focus on quality and safety through improved products that deliver added value to the consumer. Specifically, the first phase of SAP S/4HANA implementation in Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia was successfully completed in 2025, followed by the second phase in January 2026 for the West Balkans, Romania and Bulgaria. The third phase covering Poland is scheduled to follow, and subsequently Ukraine, with full Group-wide implementation expected by 2027. Concurrently, the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) program was successfully completed, enhancing operational flexibility and enabling the use of advanced digital tools and platforms to optimize workflows and business processes across the Group. With the further strengthening of its organizational capability as the third pillar of its strategy, the Group aims to provide a safe, pleasant and modern work environment, investing in the well-being and development of its employees both professionally and personally. In this context, the Group continues to prioritize the growth of its people, enhancing their skills through the design and implementation of training and development programs. Within an environment of equal opportunities, inclusion and employee development, the Group's initiatives focus on establishing a culture of continuous learning, emphasizing skill enhancement and leadership development. Sustainable Development As part of its sustainable development strategy, the Group systematically integrates environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into its operations and decision-making, with the goal of creating long- term value. In 2025, the Group presented its ESG framework, including key objectives and a clear implementation roadmap, while strengthening external engagement through collaborations with international rating agencies and the initiation of the corresponding assessment process.

The strategy is supported by a robust governance structure and a clear emphasis on empowering people, innovation and sustainable product development. Sarantis Group acquires regional AVA brand rights In 2025, the Group acquired the rights to use the AVA brand in markets outside Greece within its geographical area of operation, including countries in Southeast Europe, the Western Balkans, and Central and Eastern Europe. This initiative aligns with the Group’s strategic focus on the Home Care Solutions product category and leverages the brand’s existing presence in markets such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Albania, and Romania, creating opportunities for further growth and strengthening the Group’s regional footprint. New Eight-member Board of Directors with strengthening participation of independent members The company proceeded with the reconstitution of its Board of Directors, strengthening the ratio of independent directors and members of the underrepresented gender, in full alignment with international best practices in corporate governance. In this context, during the scheduled Board of Directors meeting on December 17, 2025, Mr. Christos Varsos, Chief Financial Officer of the Group, and Mr. Evangelos Siarlis, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Group, resigned from their positions as members of the Board of Directors, while retaining their executive roles and continue guiding the Group’s strategic and operational direction as members of the Executive Committee. At its meeting on the same day, the Board of Directors decided not to replace the resigning members and was reconstituted in accordance with the Articles of Association and Law 4706/2020. The new composition comprises eight members, four of whom, or 50%, are independent non-executive directors, while the representation of the underrepresented gender now stands at 37.5% of the total number of members. More specifically, the new composition of the Board of Directors is as follows: 1. Kyriakos Sarantis - Chairman, Executive Director 2. Grigorios Sarantis - Vice Chairman, Non-Executive Director 3. Ioannis Bouras - Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director 4. Konstantinos Rozakeas - Non-Executive Director 5. Michalis Imellos - Independent Non-Executive Director 6. Maria Ioanna Politopoulou - Independent Non-Executive Director 7. Angeliki Samara - Independent Non-Executive Director 8. Alexandra Gren - Independent Non-Executive Director It should be noted that the term of office of the above Board of Directors is four years and expires for all its members on December 20, 2027. The representation of the Company remains unchanged. Executive Committee The Executive Committee remains unchanged in its composition, continuing to serve as the primary body for decision- making and strategic execution. With a stable structure and a unified vision, the Executive Committee ensures the consistent delivery of the Group’s long-term strategic objectives. The Executive Committee consists of five members, as follows: Ioannis Bouras Group Chief Executive Officer Christos Varsos Group Chief Financial Officer Evangelos Siarlis Group Chief Human Resources Officer Nikolaos Bazigos Group Chief Supply Chain Officer Lakis Vasileiadis Group Chief Marketing Officer The experience and expertise of the members of the Executive Committee reinforce the Group’s ability to implement its strategy, respond to market challenges and lay the foundations for the next stage of its development. Board Committees The Board Committees continue to operate in accordance with best corporate governance practices, with no changes to their composition. The term of office of the Committees coincides with that of the Board of Directors.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 18 2.4 MAJOR RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 2.4.1 Risk management – framework The Group’s risk assessment and management framework is aligned with international best practices and aims to systematically identify, assess, prioritize, manage, and monitor risks that may affect the achievement of the Group’s strategic and operational objectives. The framework is applied horizontally across the Group’s core functions and is supported by a comprehensive Internal Control System, which comprises a structured set of regulatory instruments, including codes, policies, regulations, procedures, and work instructions. This system, in conjunction with the Group’s information systems, ensures the adequacy and effectiveness of control mechanisms, contributing to the mitigation of both the likelihood and the potential impact of identified risks. Risks are prioritized based on their level of criticality, determined through a combined assessment of the estimated probability of occurrence and the potential impact. Where relevant, associated opportunities are also identified as part of the evaluation process. The overall risk profile for 2025 primarily reflects increased regulatory complexity, the ongoing digital transition and macroeconomic pressures, and to a lesser extent the potential deterioration of the Group’s operational or financial position. The principal risks facing the Group, as assessed by the Executive Committee as of 31 December 2025 and presented to the Board of Directors, are outlined below. 2.4.2 Risk tolerance The level of risk tolerance is determined at Group level and reflects the willingness to undertake business risks in pursuit of value creation, provided that an appropriate balance between expected return and associated risk is maintained. In assessing risks, due consideration is given to the various categories of risk and their potential impact on the achievement of the Group’s strategic objectives. Risk tolerance limits are reviewed and updated annually, taking into account the Group’s financial performance and prevailing external conditions. With respect to risks relating to reputation, sustainability, compliance with the legislative and regulatory framework, and corruption, Management has adopted a zero-tolerance approach. 2.4.3 Risk hierarchy table Risk Group Considered areas/factors Risk Level Trend Operational Risks R06 IS_IT_Cybersecurity_Data Protection_Embedded Controls failure 2.4 Operational Risks R07 Supply chain developments 1.6 Regulatory frameworks to laws and regulations (Governance laws, Legal & Compliance R13 Data privacy laws, AML, antitrust law, ESG-environmental laws 1.5 Risks etc) Business Risks R03 Declining consumer disposable income, trends in consumption 1.4 Business Risks R04 Legal and Compliance issues related to Business Risks 1.2 Human-caused risks Operational Risks R08 1.2 (organizational failure, etc) Business Risks R05 Climate Change Risks 1.0 Market developments and competition.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 19 Other Financial Risks (Inflation financial effect, Additional Taxes, Financial Risks R12 0.5 Claims) Business Risks R01 Geopolitical developments in Ukraine 0.4 Financial Risks R10 Liquidity risk 0.2 2.4.4 Explanations Regarding Risks and Key Risk Factors The overall risk profile, as assessed by the Executive Committee at the end of 2025, primarily reflects increased regulatory complexity, the ongoing digital transition and macroeconomic pressures in the markets where the Group operates. Risks Related to System Security, Digital Infrastructure & Information Management (R06) The Group faces increasing risks in the area of cybersecurity, including cyberattacks, data breaches, sophisticated threats leveraging artificial intelligence, and attacks on supply chains. To safeguard its operations, the Group implements multi-layered security measures, including continuous staff training, 24/7 monitoring, and immediate incident response plans. There is zero tolerance for incidents affecting critical operations, with prompt restoration of services prioritized. As part of the digital transformation, the Group is upgrading its infrastructure through migration to hybrid/multi- cloud environments, system modernization, and advanced technology utilization. Risk management measures include network micro-segmentation, regular software updates, and reinforced backup systems, with zero tolerance for security gaps. In information management, the Group ensures compliance with regulations such as GDPR, NIS2, and the AI Act. Measures include encryption, anonymization, and strict access controls for document management systems where required. Data analysis and usage are conducted with stringent security protocols to prevent inadvertent exposure. Non-compliance or inadequate management could result in data breaches, regulatory fines, or loss of critical information. The increase in the severity of this risk compared to 2024 reflects, on one hand, the growing complexity of cyber threats, including attacks leveraging artificial intelligence, and, on the other hand, the expanding scope of the cybersecurity regulatory framework.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 20 Supply chain developments risks (R07) The Group's supply chain may be impacted by geopolitical tensions, volatility in energy prices, labor shortages, and transportation delays. In particular, recent developments in the Middle East, including tensions involving Iran and the wider region, have heightened uncertainty regarding energy and fuel prices, transportation costs, and the operation of key international shipping routes. At the same time, regulatory changes and market fluctuations may affect the cost and availability of raw and packaging materials, potentially impacting production and distribution costs, as well as the Group's working capital. The Group implements supplier diversification policies, maintains adequate safety stock levels, and has established business continuity plans to address potential disruptions. Management systematically monitors developments and evaluates alternative scenarios with the aim of ensuring smooth operations and uninterrupted service of the Group’s customers. Regulatory Compliance Risks due to the Continuous Expansion of Regulatory Frameworks (R13) The introduction of new regulatory frameworks, such as the NIS2 Directive and the EUDR Regulation, increases compliance requirements and heightens the risk of regulatory deviations. Non-compliance may result in significant administrative penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage for the Group. Given Management’s zero-tolerance policy for compliance issues, even minor deviations or delays in implementing new regulations are considered highly critical. The Group has implemented measures to strengthen internal controls, provide staff training, and systematically monitor regulatory developments. Risks Related to a Decline in Disposable Income, Consumption Trends, and Inflationary Pressures (R03) Inflationary pressures and reductions in disposable income in the Group’s key markets affect consumer purchasing power and increase price sensitivity. Additionally, changing consumption patterns, including a growing preference for private-label products, may put pressure on both sales volumes and profit margins. The Group mitigates these risks through adjustments to its pricing strategy, targeted promotional activities, diversification of the product portfolio, and ongoing improvements in operational efficiency. Legal and regulatory risks related to business activities (R04) The Group’s operations are subject to a broad range of legislative and regulatory requirements, including those concerning environmental protection, labor standards, product safety, and specific regulations for each product category. The growing complexity of the regulatory landscape may increase the risk of compliance issues and operational impacts. The Group continuously monitors relevant regulatory developments and adapts its processes and products in a timely manner to ensure full compliance and the uninterrupted continuity of its business operations. Risks Related to Human Factors and Organizational Failures (R08) Operational risks arising from human factors include, among others, the risk of financial fraud, errors, organizational failures, and potential weaknesses in the implementation of the internal regulatory framework. Such incidents could impact the Group’s operational efficiency, compliance, and reputation. To mitigate these risks, the Group has established and implemented a comprehensive Internal Control System, comprising policies, regulations, procedures, and work instructions, alongside safeguards embedded in the information systems. The system is reinforced by mechanisms for separation of duties, approval processes, transaction monitoring, and access controls. Controls are applied based on risk assessments and are regularly updated to reflect changes in the business environment and organizational structure. In parallel, staff awareness and training initiatives are conducted to strengthen a culture of compliance and control.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 21 The Group maintains a low tolerance for operational risks related to human factors, prioritizing prevention, early detection, and immediate response to potential incidents. Risks Related to Climate Change (R05) Climate change risks encompass both physical and transitional risks, with potential impacts on demand, operating costs, and the Group’s long-term competitiveness. Increasing weather variability may particularly affect seasonal product categories, where the ability to adjust within a given period is limited. At the same time, the transition to low-carbon technologies requires significant investments and presents technological challenges, which may influence both the cost and pace of adaptation. Any delays could affect the Group’s competitive position, especially in light of growing requirements for Scope 3 emissions reduction. The Group systematically monitors climate-related developments and integrates relevant parameters into strategic planning, implementing targeted mitigation and adaptation measures to manage these risks effectively. Risks from Market Developments, Competition, and Product Development Trends (R02) The markets in which the Group operates, primarily in the Personal Care and Home Care Solutions categories, are characterized by intensified competition and rapid product category evolution. The competitive landscape is shaped by the growing presence of private-label products, accelerated innovation, and the strengthening of digital distribution channels. To safeguard and enhance its competitive position, the Group continues to invest in the ongoing renewal and diversification of its product portfolio, the reinforcement of its production capabilities, and the expansion of its digital and commercial presence. In the context of trade tensions between the European Union and the United States, tariffs have been applied to certain categories of European products, including cosmetics exported to the US market. While the risk of further trade regime changes is limited, such developments could affect profit margins on relevant exports. The Group actively monitors these developments and adjusts its commercial and pricing strategies as needed, while maintaining targeted partnerships to strengthen its market presence. The reduction in the severity of this risk compared to 2024 reflects the incorporation of existing mitigation measures into operational planning and a reassessment of potential impacts. Financial Risks (R11, R09, R12, R10) The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from the nature of its operations, its geographical presence, and the prevailing conditions in the markets where it operates. The main financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risks (such as foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations), and other financial risks related to inflationary pressures, tax obligations, and contingent liabilities. Detailed information on these risks is provided in section 4.9 of this Report. Credit Risk (R11) Credit risk refers to the potential financial loss the Group may incur if counterparties—primarily customers—are unable to meet their contractual obligations. The Group’s trade receivables are mainly derived from wholesale sales to a broad and diversified customer base, which limits the concentration of credit risk. Management applies a structured credit policy that includes assessing customer creditworthiness, setting credit limits, continuously monitoring outstanding balances, and actively managing overdue receivables. Despite heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, bad debts have not reached levels that would materially impact the Group’s liquidity or financial results. Further information is provided in section 4.9.6 of this Report.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 22 Market Risks (R09) Market risks primarily include foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, as well as risks related to capital management and fluctuations in commodity prices. The Group’s exposure to currency risk arises from its operations in markets outside the eurozone, while changes in interest rates affect financing costs and investment decisions. Based on estimates at the end of 2025, market risks are assessed as being of limited severity; however, they are systematically monitored due to increased volatility in international markets. Management implements operational measures to mitigate these riskswithout relying extensively on financial hedging instruments—and regularly evaluates the potential impact on results and cash flows. In particular: o Currency Risk: The Group operates in countries outside the eurozone, which exposes it to fluctuations in exchange rates. Such fluctuations may impact results and the net financial position, particularly in periods of heightened volatility. Management closely monitors currency developments and implements operational measures, including pricing policy adjustments and cash flow management, without systematically employing financial hedging instruments. Further information is provided in section 4.9.4 of this Report. o Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates influence financing costs and investment decisions. In an environment of rising rates, there may be increased pressure on financial costs. Management actively monitors leverage and regularly assesses the potential impact of interest rate changes on results and cash flows. Further information is provided in section 4.9.5 of this Report. o Risk of Fluctuations in the Prices of Basic Goods: The Group is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in the prices of basic goods, primarily raw materials, packaging materials, and energy, which directly impact production and operating costs. Changes in international commodity markets may affect profit margins, particularly in periods of heightened volatility. Management continuously monitors developments in commodity markets and implements operational measures to mitigate the impact, including negotiating supply terms, diversifying suppliers, and adjusting pricing policies. The Group does not systematically rely on financial hedging instruments to manage these risks. Further information is provided in section 4.9.8 of this Report. o Capital Management Risk: Capital management risk refers to the possibility of an adverse impact on the Group’s results or financial flexibility arising from a suboptimal balance between equity and debt. During the current period, this risk is assessed as very low, within the context of the ongoing deleveraging process and the balanced management of borrowings. Management’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base, ensure adequate liquidity, and optimize the cost of capital. The Finance Department systematically monitors leverage ratios and the structure of borrowings, taking appropriate corrective actions where necessary to safeguard financial stability and support the Group’s growth strategy. Further information is provided in section 4.9.1 of this Report. Other Financial Risks (R12) The Group is exposed to additional financial risks primarily associated with tax burdens, fluctuations in cost of sales, the implementation of pricing policies, and inventory management. These factors may affect the Group’s results and cash flows. Management continuously monitors the regulatory and economic environment and takes appropriate measures to mitigate the related impacts, with the objective of safeguarding the Group’s financial stability and ensuring the uninterrupted and efficient conduct of its operations. Liquidity risk (R10) Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Group may be unable to meet its short- and medium-term financial obligations as they fall due. The effective management of this risk constitutes a key priority for Management. The Group maintains adequate cash reserves, secures access to approved bank credit lines, and implements working capital optimization policies. Cash flows are monitored on a continuous basis, and scenario analyses are conducted to assess the potential impact of adverse developments. As of 31 December 2025, liquidity risk is assessed as low and considered to be effectively managed. Further information is provided in section 4.9.7 of this Report.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 23 Risks from geopolitical developments in Ukraine (R01) The production unit of the subsidiary ERGOPACK LLC in Kaniv continues to operate normally, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, as well as challenges related to electricity supply and increased operating costs. Any potential interruption of its operations would have a limited impact on the Group, as the subsidiary represents approximately 3.5% of consolidated revenue and 4.2% of total equity. To mitigate operational risks, generators have been installed to ensure uninterrupted production, while the supply chain is continuously monitored and supported by alternative sourcing options. In the event of disruptions, production capacity can be absorbed by the Group’s manufacturing facilities in Greece and Poland. The geopolitical environment remains unstable, with the potential for escalation or adverse developments that could affect the subsidiary’s operations. However, there are indications that a gradual de- escalation may occur in the medium term. 2.5 FUTURE OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS The year 2025 was once again marked by challenges, within an international environment characterized by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in energy and raw material markets. At the same time, pressure on consumers’ real incomes due to inflation persisted, albeit at lower levels compared to previous years. Despite these conditions, consumer demand for the Group’s products remained robust, reaffirming the resilience of its strategy and business model. Throughout 2025, Sarantis Group continued to execute its strategic growth plan, further strengthening its presence in existing markets and expanding its product portfolio. The Group remained firmly committed to product quality and consumer safety, consistently investing in innovation and sustainable practices. The completion of significant investments, together with the ongoing enhancement of internal operations through digital transformation, contributed to improved efficiency and an enhanced customer experience. A significant milestone during the year was the Group’s expansion into the United States market, marked by the increase in physical distribution of the Carroten sunscreen brand and the introduction of new product offerings. This development represents a decisive step in strengthening the Group’s international presence, providing access to a new consumer audience and expanding its geographical footprint in a strategically important market, while supporting its future growth trajectory. Particular emphasis was also placed on the continuation of the Group’s digital transformation, with the objective of fostering a more agile and competitive business environment, enhancing internal processes, and further strengthening relationships of trust with consumers. With a strong financial position, in-depth knowledge of the markets in which it operates, and a clear strategic orientation, Sarantis Group enters 2026 with optimism. The Group looks forward to another year of growth and further consolidation of its competitiveness, while safeguarding and expanding profit margins and enhancing long- term value for its shareholders, consumers and partners.

The Procedure reflects the principles and procedures that the Company adopted in order to fulfil its legal obligations to keep and implement effective administrative procedures and audit mechanisms to prevent, identify and manage existing and potential conflicts of interest within its activities. The Management has taken care of adopting the compliance procedure regarding the transactions with related parties in line with article 14 of Law 4706/20 and of the obligations arising regarding the recognition, monitoring and disclosure of the Company's transactions with related parties. The rules regarding the recognition, monitoring and disclosure of transactions with related parties are based on Law 4548/2018 and in particular Articles 99-101, International Accounting Standards / International Financial Reporting Standards and more specifically IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures" and IAS 27 "Consolidated and separate financial statements" and the instructions of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (Circular 45 / 21/7/2011 "Transactions of a listed company with related parties"). The monitoring of transactions between the Company and its related parties is carried out on a continuous basis by the Finance Department. The Finance Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable legal framework governing intra-group transactions, overseeing the procedures relating to agreements or written contracts between related entities, as well as justifying and documenting such transactions through the calculation of prices for products and services (provided or received). The Company's Board of Directors evaluates and updates, on an annual basis the criteria applied for the identification of the Company's transactions with related parties and the fulfillment of the criteria in order to exclude an impending transaction from the restrictions of Law 4548/2018. The competent body, for taking the relevant decision on the preparation of Intragroup Transaction and the granting of the relevant license, is the Board of Directors of the Company. The competence of the Board of Directors for the issuance of a license is exercised collectively and cannot be assigned to one or more persons, members of the Board of Directors or not. The Board of Directors may issue a license, which is valid for six (6) months. On repetitive contracts with the same person, a single contract can be issued, which defines the characteristics of the contracts and is valid for one (1) year. The Board of Directors announces the issuance of a license for the preparation of the Intragroup Transaction. This announcement is submitted to the publicity provided by Law 4548/2018 before the completion of the transaction. Within ten (10) days from the publication of the announcement of the granting of the above license by the Board of Directors, shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital, may request the convening of a General Meeting to decide on the issue of licensing. The contract for which a license was granted by the Board of Directors is considered final only after the expiration of the deadline of ten (10) days or the receipt of the license from the General Meeting or the written statement of all shareholders to the Company that it is not provided to request the convening of the General Assembly. If the Intragroup Transaction has already been concluded until the General Meeting has been authorized, then the General Meeting is canceled if it is opposed by shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the capital represented at the General Meeting. In the event that the transaction concerns a shareholder of the Company, the specific shareholder does not participate in the voting of the General Meeting and is not calculated for the formation of the quorum and the majority. Similarly, other shareholders do not participate in the voting with whom the counterparty is associated with a relationship subject to paragraph 2 of article 99 of Law 4548/2018. This paragraph does not apply if the permission of the Board of Directors was given with the consent of the majority of its independent members. In any case, the issuance of the license by the General Meeting is canceled, if it is opposed by shareholders representing one third (1/3) of the capital represented at the meeting.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 40 If the permission to conclude the contract was given by the General Meeting, any amendments may be made with the permission of the Board of Directors, unless the General Meeting reserved the right to provide the permission to them as well. The decision of the Board of Directors or the General Meeting (as the case may be) is taken based on the auditor’s report or auditing company or other independent third party to the Company, which assesses whether the transaction is fair and reasonable for the Company and its shareholders that are not a related party, including the Company's minority shareholders, and explains the assumptions on which it is based, together with the methods used. The persons of paragraph 2 of article 99 of Law 4548/2018 do not participate in the preparation of the specific report. Except in the case that the Board of Directors has granted the permission for the preparation of the Intragroup Transaction, the Board of Directors announces the issuance of permission for the preparation of the Intragroup Transaction by the General Meeting, as well as the non-expiration of the ten (10) days according to the above. This announcement is submitted to the publicity provided by Law 4548/2018 before the completion of the Intragroup Transaction. Inaccuracy of the announcement is not opposed to third parties, unless the Company proves that the third parties were aware of this inaccuracy. The announcement includes at least some information: - as to the nature of the Company's relationship with the related party - the date and value of the Intragroup Transaction - any other information necessary to assess whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and its non-affiliated persons, including minority shareholders. The announcement is accompanied by the report of the accountant auditor or auditing company according to the above. The transaction concluded between the person affiliated with the Company and its subsidiary is also submitted in the publicity formalities. The provisions of this procedure are without prejudice to the obligations of disclosure of preferential information, as referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. In compliance with the regulations of Law 4706/2020 and the Hellenic Corporate Governance Code, the Management has provided for the generation of an Assessment for the Members of the Board of Directors and its Committees.

External Assurance Providers External assurance providers provide additional assurance to: o ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory expectations aimed at safeguarding the interests of stakeholders; o address requests from Management and the Board of Directors to complement the Organization’s internal assurance systems Reporting and Complaints System (Speak Up Policy) Within the framework of the Internal Control System, the Company has an updated Speak Up Policy, which complies with the provisions of Law 4990/2022 and Directive (EU) 2019/1937. The Policy ensures that employees and third parties can report violations or concerns that fall within the categories of the Policy without fear of retaliation. The system provides multiple, secure and confidential channels for submitting eponymous or anonymous reports, safeguarding the protection of the identity and personal data of of the persons who submit such reports/complaints. Reports are received and handled responsibly by the competent corporate bodies and are subject to investigation in accordance with the Policy, with the aim of ensuring compliance, transparency and strengthening corporate governance. The Speak Up Policy is posted on the Company's website: Speak Up Policy Assessment of the Internal Control System and Corporate Governance System The Company has introduced a Policy and Procedure for the Evaluation of the Internal Control System (ICS), the purpose of which is to assess the adequacy of the Internal Control System, which includes all internal control mechanisms and procedures, including risk management, internal control and regulatory compliance, which cover on an ongoing basis all activities of the Company and its major subsidiaries and contributes to their safe and effective operation. The assessment of the ICS is part of the overall assessment of the Company's corporate governance system, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 4 of Law 4706/2020. The scope of the assessment includes all organizational units of the Company and its significant subsidiaries, as determined by the Board of Directors and referred in the Operating Regulations. The assessment of the Internal Control System includes an overview of the Control Environment, Risk Management, Control Mechanisms (Safeguards), the Information and Communication System and monitoring methods. The Board of Directors, within the framework of its obligations arising from paragraph 1 of article 4 of Law 4706/2020, evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the Company’s Corporate Governance System with a reference date of 31 December 2025, and this evaluation did not identify any material weaknesses. In the context of the above evaluation, the Company’s Board of Directors engaged the audit firm BDO Certified Public Accountants S.A. to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s Corporate Governance System. This
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 48 assessment was carried out on the basis of the assurance procedures program included in Decision I’73/08b/14.02.2024 of the Supervisory Board of the Body of Chartered Public Accountants, in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”. The work performed by the Chartered Public Accountants did not identify any material weaknesses in the Company’s Corporate Governance System. In accordance with Decision 1/891/30.09.2020 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and the specifications of article 14 (paragraphs 3 and 4) of Law 4706/2020, as in force, as well as the Company’s Internal Control System (ICS) Evaluation Policy, the Company carried out a selection process for audit firms for the purpose of assigning the ICS assessment. On this basis, the Board of Directors assigned to “BDO Certified Public Accountants S.A.” (BDO) the ICS assessment engagement with reference date 31/12/2025. BDO confirmed its independence in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, as incorporated into Greek legislation, as well as the requirements of EU Regulation 537/2014 and Law 4449/2017. Ms. K. Kalogeropoulou, Certified Public Accountant with SOEL registration number 36121, was appointed as the Independent Evaluator. BDO carried out the assessment work on the basis of Law 4706/2020 and the specifications of article 14 (paragraphs 3 and 4), Decision 1/891/30.09.2020 of the Board of Directors of the HCMC, and in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000. The purpose of the engagement was to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s ICS and that of its significant subsidiaries with reference date 31/12/2025. The auditors collected appropriate and sufficient evidence in order to form an opinion, which is summarized as follows: “Based on the work performed and the evidence obtained in relation to the assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s Internal Control System and that of its significant subsidiaries, with reference date 31 December 2025, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe there is a material weakness in the Internal Control System of the Company and its significant subsidiaries, in accordance with the applicable Regulatory Framework. 2.13 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2.13.1 General disclosures 2.13.1.1 ESRS 2 General disclosures General basis for preparing the Sustainability Report (BP1_01/ESRS 2/BP1/5a-e) Sarantis Group's 2025 Sustainability Report has been prepared on a consolidated basis, following the boundaries of the consolidated financial statements (see chapter 4). The Report covers all of the Group's activities, as well as important information on the upstream and downstream value chain, including material sourcing, production, logistics and product use, to the extent that they relate to significant impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs). Note: In order to enhance transparency, the Group did not make use of the option to omit information relating to intellectual property under ESRS (ESRS 1, para. 7.7), nor did it make use of the option to omit matters under negotiation (under Directive 2013/34/EU). Reporng period: The disclosures in this report cover the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Connectivity and consistency of information between the Financial Statements and the Sustainability Report The 2025 Sustainability Report has been prepared on a consolidated basis and follows the same consolidation boundaries as the Group's consolidated financial statements, and this link forms the common basis for sustainability disclosures. Connectivity is not limited to the scope of consolidation, but also extends to risk management. In 2025, the Group implemented an operational link between the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) and the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, so that material sustainability issues are integrated into the overall risk profile. In particular, the recognition of privacy as an important issue in the Double Materiality Assessment is aligned with the level of importance of the cyber security risk in Enterprise Risk Management, confirming the consistency between the
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 49 two frameworks. Similarly, in the case of climate issues, the results of the Double Materiality Assessment are used as input for the further integration of the relevant risks into the Group's overall risk management framework. Similarly, sustainability information is linked to capital allocation. Total capital expenditure in 2025 amounted to €37.3 mil., of which approximately €15.0 mil. was directed towards investments that support the improvement of energy efficiency and the Group's gradual energy transition, representing approximately 40% of total capital expenditure. Part of these expenditures is related to activities that are considered eligible under the European Taxonomy. At the same time, €6.5 mil. related to the digital transformation program. In this way, the ESRS E1 and ESRS 2 disclosures reflect not only objectives and actions, but also how sustainability priorities are integrated into the Group's investment planning and resource allocation. The same logic applies to the European Taxonomy, where the turnover, capital expenditure and operating expenditure indicators are based on the Group's financial reference basis, while the assessment of eligibility and alignment is derived from the technical sustainability criteria. Finally, the integration of Stella Pack’s operations is reflected in the sustainability disclosures, directly impacting the reporting of climate change and circular economy issues. Pillars of operational connection Pillar Link between Financial Statements and Sustainability Report The 2025 Sustainability Report has been prepared on a consolidated Scope of consolidation basis, following the boundaries of the consolidated financial statements. Business Risk Management Framework ↔ Double Functional link between the Business Risk Management framework Materiality Assessment and the Double Materiality Assessment framework. Of the €37.3 mil. total CAPEX, approximately €15 mil. is directed to Capital expenditures ESRS E1 energy transition projects, i.e. ~40% of total CAPEX. Investments of €6.5 mil. in systems, data and analytics enhance the Capital expenditures Digital transformation quality and traceability of information, ~17% of total CAPEX. The turnover, capital expenditures and operating expenditures European Taxonomy ↔ Financial Statements indicators use financial figures as a basis and sustainability criteria for assessing eligibility/alignment. Note: The amounts of €15.0 mil. and €6.5 mil. relate to a subset of the Group's total capital expenditure for the 2025 financial year and relate to selected investments that support energy efficiency improvement and digital transformation. The relevant reference basis is linked to the item "Purchase of tangible and intangible fixed assets" in the Cash Flow Statement (see 4.5 Statement of cash flows). Definion of me horizons used for disclosure of sustainability impacts, risks and opportunies (BP2_01/ESRS 2/BP2/9a-b) In full alignment with ESRS 1 (section 6.4), the time horizons used for the analysis of impacts, risks and opportunities are defined as follows: o Short-term horizon: the period adopted by the Group as the reporting period in its financial statements o Medium-term horizon: from the end of the short-term reference period up to 5 years o Long-term horizon: more than 5 years Use of indirect data sources to esmate the Group's value chain measurement indicators (BP2_03-06/ESRS 2/BP2/10a-d) To calculate the value chain measurement indicators, the Group uses a combination of primary data and proxies in cases where direct data collection is not practically feasible. A. Scope & database 2 For COemissions scope 1 and 2, the calculation is based on primary activity data, such as energy bills and meter 2 readings. Proxies are used to calculate COemissions scope 3 in the following categories:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 50 2 COscope 3 upstream: Includes emission estimates from raw material production and transportation. These calculations utilize internationally recognized emission factors and industry-specific databases (e.g., Exiobase), specifically tailored to packaging material characteristics and the logistics data of the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector. 2 COscope 3 downstream: Estimation of energy consumption and waste management during the use phase and after the end of the life cycle, based on the environmental profiles of the products. B. Accuracy & uncertainty The accuracy of the measurements is assessed as moderate when using approximate values, as they do not always reflect the specific operating conditions of all partners in the value chain (e.g. suppliers, transporters, waste managers). On the contrary, accuracy is enhanced where actual supplier data is incorporated. The highest uncertainty is found in downstream (consumer use) due to the variability of consumer habits across markets. C. Data quality improvement strategy The Group is implementing a specific action plan to gradually reduce its dependence on approximate values through the following initiatives: 1. SBTi Validation (Q1 2026): The upcoming validation of our climate targets strengthens the methodological framework and scientific evidence supporting the Group's greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. 2. ESG platform: Development of a central platform to automate data collection, standardize controls and ensure traceability at Group level. The project budget has been approved and will start in the second quarter of 2026. 3. Supplier engagement: Targeted communication with strategic suppliers to collect primary data. 4. Governance: Strengthening processes with clear data ownership assignment and upgraded quality controls. Changes in the preparaon or presentaon of sustainability informaon (BP2_10-12/ESRS 2/BP2/13a-c) During the 2025 reporting period, the Group maintained methodological consistency in its sustainability data collection procedures and presentation principles, in full alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). No significant changes affecting the structure of the reported data were introduced compared to the previous year, thereby ensuring the integrity and direct comparability of disclosures between the 2024 and 2025 financial years. Reporng of errors/incorrect values in previous periods (BP2_13-15/ESRS 2/BP2/14a-c) During the current reporng period (2025), no material errors relang to previous reporng periods were idenfied. Therefore, no correcon or restatement of the published sustainability informaon is required. Disclosures arising from other legislaon or internaonally accepted sustainability reporng standards (BP2_16- 17/ESRS 2/BP2/15) In its 2025 Sustainability Report, the Group has incorporated data and indicators that meet the reporng requirements of other European Union legislaon. Specifically, the following data points included in this Report correspond to the indicators of Regulaon (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR - Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulaon) and other related regulaons, as set out in Appendix B of Delegated Regulaon (EU) 2023/2772: Disclosure requirement SFDR reference Pillar 3 reference Reference to the Reference to the and relevant data point point point Benchmark Regulaon European Climate Law ESRS 2 GOV-1 Gender Delegated Regulaon (EU) diversity of the Board of 2020/1816, Annex II Directors (para. 21(d)) ESRS 2 GOV-1 Percentage of Delegated Regulaon (EU) independent members of 2020/1816, Annex II the Board of Directors (para. 21(e)) ESRS 2 GOV-4 Statement on due diligence (para. 30)

Supervisory level - Board of Directors: Holds ultimate authority for approving strategic initiatives that require top-level corporate decisions and ensures the integration of sustainability considerations into the Group’s business model and strategy. - ESG Committee: Reviews and approves sustainability-related recommendations, monitors implementation progress, and submits matters to the Board of Directors for final approval where required (e.g., the results of the Double Materiality Assessment). - Audit Committee: Oversees the adequacy and effectiveness of the Internal Control System (ICS), including the relevant control and compliance mechanisms related to sustainability matters. - Remuneration and Nominations Committee: Responsible for reviewing and pre-approving updates to the Remuneration Policy, ensuring its alignment with the Group’s corporate governance framework. Management level - Executive Committee: sets priorities and drives the implementation of the sustainability strategy, guided by the recommendations and insights of the Group's Head of ESG. Administrative/Executive implementation level - Group Head of ESG: advises the Executive Committee, coordinates the planning and implementation of the sustainability strategy, ensures cross-functional alignment and acts as a key liaison between management and supervisory bodies. Sustainability governance flow Decisions on sustainability matters are taken by the Executive Committee, with the support of the Group’s Head of ESG, and are submitted to the ESG Committee for evaluation and approval at the Committee level. Where required by the corporate governance framework, these matters are subsequently forwarded to the Board of Directors for final approval. Throughout this process, the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee may act as specialized advisory bodies to the ESG Committee and the Board of Directors, where relevant. The former provides advice on matters related to the adequacy and effectiveness of the Internal Control System and the oversight of related risks, while the latter provides input on matters related to the review and pre-approval of updates to the Remuneration Policy. Number of execuve and non-execuve members The ESG Commiee was established by a decision of the Group’s Board of Directors on 28 March 2024 and consists of three independent non-execuve members of the Board. The members possess significant experience in the areas of financial governance, business strategy, and ESG maers. Specifically, the composion of the ESG Commiee is as follows: Alexandra Gren Chair Michalis Imellos Member Marianna Politopoulou Member Corresponding information on the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nominations Committee of the Group can be found in the Corporate Governance Statement, section 2.12.3 "Board of Directors and Committees".
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 54 Representaon of employees and other workers There are no employee or employee group representatives on the Group's Board of Directors or on any of the above- mentioned committees. Experience of ESG Commiee members relevant to the Group's sectors, products and geographical areas of operaon The composition and expertise of the ESG Committee members effectively support the Group's corporate governance and oversight of the process of identifying and assessing sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities within the framework of the Double Materiality Assessment. The ESG Committee reviews the methodology, key assumptions and results of the assessment to ensure consistency with the Group's strategy, risk profile and regulatory framework. The expertise of the members covers complementary areas that are critical to the proper assessment of impacts, risks and opportunities: o Business conduct and corporate governance: ethics, regulatory compliance, anti-corruption, control mechanisms o Sustainability strategy and environmental management: climate/environmental risks, circular economy, regulatory developments, o Financial and social oversight: assessment of financial impacts from sustainability issues, oversight of labor and social issues. Indicatively, this multidimensional competence is reflected as follows: o Alexandra Gren (Chair): international experience in management and governance, contributing to the oversight of decision-making mechanisms and the assessment of business conduct issues. o Michalis Imellos (Member): many years of experience in financial management and regulatory compliance, contributing to the assessment of the financial significance of sustainability risks and opportunities. o Marianna Politopoulou (Member): experience in sustainability strategy and risk management, with a significant contribution to the identification, assessing and prioritizing the Group's significant impacts and related risks, taking into account both environmental and social impacts as well as business impacts. More detailed information on the members of the Committees can be found on the Group's website, specifically at the following links: Board of Directors: https://www.group.com/el/sxetika-me-emas/hgetikh-omada/dioikitiko-sumvoulio/ Executive Committee: https://www.sarantisgroup.com/el/sxetika-me-emas/hgetikh-omada/dioikitiki-omada/ Audit Committee: https://www.sarantisgroup.com/media/n2pmlqgn/audit_committee_members_cv_gr_.pdf ESG Committee: https://www.sarantisgroup.com/el/ependytikes-sxeseis/etairiki-diakuvernisi/epitropi-esg/ Nomination and Remuneration Committee: https://www.sarantisgroup.com/el/ependytikes-sxeseis/etairiki- diakuvernisi/epitropiupopsifiotitwn-kai-apodoxwn/ Gender ratio and other aspects of diversity In accordance with the requirements of ESRS 2 (GOV-1), gender diversity on the Board of Directors is calculated as the average ratio of women to men during the reporting period. On 31/12/2025, the Board of Directors consisted of 8 members (5 men and 3 women), with a gender distribution of 62.5% and 37.5% respectively. Taking into account, the change in the composition of the Board of Directors on 17/12/2025 (following the cessation of duties of two male executive members), the weighted average ratio of women to men on the Board of Directors for the year 2025 was 0.44. The Group's ESG Committee consists of two women and one man, while the Audit Committee consists of two men and one woman. The composition of the Audit, Remuneration and Nominations and ESG Committees has not changed compared to 2024. More information can be found in section 2.12.3 Board of Directors and Committees.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 55 Percentage of independent members of management and supervisory bodies related to sustainability The percentage of independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors following the changes to its composition on 17 December 2025 is 50%, compared to 40% in 2024. All members of the ESG Committee are 100% independent and non-executive, ensuring objectivity and high standards of corporate governance. The Executive Committee consists of five Group executives, one of whom is the Chief Executive Officer, who is an executive member of the Board of Directors. Identy of the administrave, management and supervisory bodies responsible for overseeing impacts, risks and opportunies The Group implements a corporate governance framework in which the Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for setting the strategic direction and overseeing the management of impacts, risks, and opportunities, including those related to sustainability (ESG). The Board of Directors ensures that sustainability principles are integrated into the Group’s strategy, business model, and key decision-making processes. The ESG Committee supports the Board’s work by systematically monitoring sustainability matters and assessing the relevant impacts, risks, and opportunities. At the same time, it provides recommendations and guidance aimed at the continuous strengthening of the ESG strategy and its alignment with the Group’s business priorities. The Executive Committee is responsible for the implementation of strategic decisions and the operational management of related matters, ensuring the integration of ESG principles into day-to-day activities and risk management processes. The cooperation between the Board of Directors, the ESG Committee, and the Executive Committee forms a coherent governance framework that promotes the systematic implementation of the sustainability strategy and the consistent monitoring of related performance. How the responsibilies of the bodies are reflected in the regulaons, the instrucons of the Board of Directors and the relevant policies The allocaon of responsibilies among the relevant bodies is reflected in the corporate regulaons, Board of Directors direcves, and relevant policies, following a coherent and transparent governance structure. The ESG Commiee and the Executive Committee operate in accordance with approved terms of reference, which define their respecve responsibilies and modes of operaon. The ESG Commiee is responsible for: o Overseeing and guiding the ESG strategy and related objecves. o Reviewing and approving policies, measurements and disclosures in accordance with the requirements of the Non-Financial Reporng Direcve (CSRD). o Strengthening compliance and ensuring the connuous improvement of the Group's ESG pracces. o Monitoring and managing the impacts, risks and opportunies arising from the Double Materiality Assessment process. The ESG Commiee's operang regulaons are incorporated into the broader regulaons of the Board of Directors, ensuring a clear separaon of roles and accountability. The Executive Committee is responsible for: o Implemenng the strategic decisions taken by the Board of Directors and the ESG Commiee. o The day-to-day management of business acvies, with an emphasis on integrang sustainability principles into operaonal processes. o Monitoring the progress of ESG objecves and reporng to the Board of Directors on their achievement. o Supporng the ESG Commiee in implemenng sustainability policies and measures. Through this collaboraon, the Group ensures that sustainability principles are effecvely integrated at all levels of operaon and decision-making, while maintaining high standards of governance and transparency. Descripon of the role of management in governance, control and management of impacts, risks and opportunies The management of sustainability matters is central to the Group’s strategy and is integrated across all levels of management, ensuring the systematic monitoring, oversight, and management of sustainability-related impacts,
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 56 risks, and opportunities. The ESG Committee holds primary responsibility for overseeing the impacts, risks, and opportunities identified through the Double Materiality Assessment process and plays a key role in the Group’s decision-making framework. The process begins with the Executive Committee, which is responsible for the formulation and implementation of the Group’s strategy, including decisions related to ESG matters. These decisions are subsequently reviewed, revised where necessary, and approved by the ESG Committee, ensuring alignment with sustainable development principles and consistency with the Group’s overall sustainability strategy. The outcomes and recommendations of the ESG Committee are then presented to the Board of Directors, which retains ultimate authority for approving and defining the Group’s sustainability strategy. Role of management and control mechanisms The management of sustainability maers is not limited to the oversight exercised by the Board of Directors and the ESG Commiee but extends across all levels of the Group’s management, integrang sustainability consideraons into business processes. In this context, the Group’s Head of ESG acts as a link between the ESG Commiee and the business units, ensuring the implementaon of ESG strategies and iniaves. The ESG Commiee, in turn, works closely with the Executive Committee and the business units to ensure that the sustainability strategy is implemented throughout the organizaon. To ensure that Commiee members remain fully informed, the Group’s Head of ESG submits regular reports on the Group’s performance, emerging risks, and progress in achieving ESG targets. The Chair of the ESG Commiee subsequently informs the Board of Directors about the Commiee’s acvies and key findings. Control procedures and internal integraon For the effecve management of sustainability-related impacts and risks: o The ESG Commiee monitors ESG performance through KPIs and reports, which are integrated into the Group's overall risk management framework. o The ESG Lead coordinates the ESG strategy, ensuring that all principles are integrated into business operaons and that there is synergy with other governance commiees, such as the Audit Commiee and the Nominaon & Remuneraon Commiee. How the administrave, management and supervisory bodies oversee the seng of targets related to significant impacts, risks and opportunies and how they monitor progress The setting and monitoring of objectives related to significant impacts, risks and opportunities are carried out through regular meetings and the submission of relevant reports. The ESG Committee meets four times per year to oversee the progress of objectives, review relevant policies and ensure alignment with sustainable development principles. At the same time, the Executive Committee is regularly briefed by the Group’s Head of ESG (at least once every two months) in order to set new targets and/or review the progress of existing ones. This regular reporting enables the timely identification of any deviations or challenges and the implementation of appropriate corrective actions, ensuring that sustainability objectives remain aligned with the Group’s strategy and developments in the field of sustainable development. In addition, this process strengthens cooperation between the relevant bodies while maintaining high standards of transparency and effectiveness in the management of impacts, risks and opportunities. The Board of Directors is informed about the progress of sustainability objectives during its regular meetings, which are held annually. In cases where immediate action is required, extraordinary meetings may be convened outside the scheduled framework. Through this structure, the Group ensures that impacts, risks and opportunities are managed effectively, with a focus on transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. Experse in sustainability issues Experse and connuous training in sustainability maers are key pillars for the successful implementaon of the Group’s ESG strategy. The members of the Board of Directors, the ESG Commiee, and the Executive Committee possess extensive experience in areas such as corporate governance, financial and non-financial management,
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 57 business strategy, and the integraon of sustainability principles into corporate processes. A thorough understanding of the challenges and opportunies associated with sustainability enhances strategic decision-making, supporng long-term growth and value creaon for all stakeholders. To strengthen its experse in sustainability, the Group relies on several pracces: o Collaboraon with external experts: The Group works with specialist consultants and organizaons that provide guidance and technical support on crical issues such as climate risk management and regulatory compliance (e.g., CSRD, ESRS). o Internal training and skills development: Training programs are implemented for management, the ESG Commiee, and the Executive Committee to provide informaon on the latest regulatory developments and best pracces in the field of sustainability. o Connuous monitoring and updang of trends: Management, in collaboraon with the ESG Commiee, connuously monitors internaonal developments and trends in ESG issues, ensuring that decisions are informed by up-to-date and accurate data. Through these pracces, the Group ensures it maintains the necessary experse and experience to address the challenges and opportunies arising from ESG management, while upholding high standards of transparency, accountability, and innovaon. Linking skills to the Group's material impacts, risks and opportunies The need for targeted experse is directly linked to the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, which highlighted the key challenges in environmental, social and governance issues for the Group. In parcular, the members of the Board of Directors, the ESG Commiee and the Executive Committee: o have experience in risk management, regulatory compliance and business strategy, which are necessary to address issues such as the circular economy, climate change and environmental legislaon (ESRS E1, E5). o cover areas such as corporate governance, human resources management and regulatory compliance, which are crical for managing issues such as occupaonal safety, ensuring labor rights and consumer protecon (ESRS S1, S4). o specialize in financial management and legal compliance and apply best pracces in business ethics, an- corrupon and corporate governance (ESRS G1). Through this framework, the Group ensures that the relevant bodies have the necessary knowledge and skills to exercise effecve oversight and make informed decisions on the sustainability strategy, including significant impacts, risks and opportunies. Disclosure of informaon on the governance of sustainability issues (GOV2_01-03/ESRS 2/GOV2/26) The governance of sustainability issues within the Group is based on a clearly defined framework for reporng, due diligence and decision-making, ensuring that the relevant management and supervisory bodies have access to the necessary informaon and are able to integrate the relevant impacts, risks and opportunies into the Group's strategy and operaons. Informing the administrave, management and supervisory bodies about significant non-financial (ESG) issues The Group's senior management bodies are regularly informed of the significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to sustainability through the ESG Commiee. In this context, the results of the Double Materiality Assessment for 2025 were presented to the ESG Commiee for review, comment and validaon. Reporng process and frequency The Group's Head of ESG is responsible for collecng the relevant data and indicators from the business units, as well as the Executive Committee's decisions on ESG issues. He then informs the ESG Commiee, which meets four mes a year and may also be convened on an ad hoc basis to deal with crical issues, ensuring that its members have up- to-date informaon on the Group's performance. The Chair of the ESG Commiee then presents the Commiee's recommendaons to the Board of Directors, which meets as needed to make strategic decisions on sustainability issues.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 58 The briefing of the bodies includes progress in the implementaon of ESG strategies and policies, the assessment of ESG risks and opportunies, the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, progress towards achieving ESG targets and performance indicators, and any revisions to ESG policies and acons. In addion, sustainability issues are integrated into the risk management process, enabling management bodies to make decisions based on documented ESG data. Integraon of ESG impacts, risks and opportunies into strategy and decision-making The Group ensures that sustainability is systemacally integrated into its core corporate strategy and comprehensive risk management framework. The ESG Commiee provides strategic guidance, supporng execuve management in defining ESG objecves that inform crical business decisions. At product level, sustainability is embedded into new product development and business strategy through the acve applicaon of circular economy principles, the sourcing of renewable or recycled raw materials, and the connuous opmizaon of the environmental footprint of packaging. At the same me, ESG criteria are fully incorporated into risk management and regulatory compliance mechanisms, ensuring adherence to European and internaonal frameworks, including the CSRD, ESRS, and the EU Taxonomy. Strategic decision-making is further aligned with operaonal resilience, ensuring that environmental and social performance contributes directly to long-term corporate value. Significant ESG issues addressed during the reporng period During the reporng period, the ESG Commiee and the Board of Directors reviewed a range of key ESG maers, including the climate transion strategy, circular economy and sustainable product development iniaves, ESG risk assessments of suppliers, and issues related to the labor pracces of both direct and indirect staff, as well as corporate governance. These maers are directly linked to the significant impacts, risks, and opportunies (IROs) idenfied and assessed by the Group in 2025, guiding the acons and next steps for their effecve management. The methodology for assessing significant impacts, risks, and opportunies, along with a detailed descripon of the idenfied issues, is presented in secon 2.13.1 "Descripon of the process for idenfying and assessing important impacts, risks and opportunies." Integration of sustainability-related performance into incentive systems – GOV-3 (GOV3_01-06/ESRS 2/GOV3/29) In 2025, the Group incorporated a sustainability indicator into variable remuneration through the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan. Specifically, in the third cycle of the LTI, 30% of the assessment is linked to the reduction of absolute carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in scope 1 and scope 2 in the period 2025-2027, while the remaining 70% is linked to financial indicators: EBITDA margin by 40% and earnings per share (EPS) by 30%. No sustainability indicator has been incorporated into the annual Variable Remuneration Program (bonus), which is based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), net sales, and working capital. The maximum annual bonus corresponds to up to 50% of the fixed annual remuneration, and the value of the long-term incentive (LTI) cannot exceed the equivalent of the annual bonus per participant. Therefore, in the maximum theoretical scenario, the sustainability component would correspond to up to 15% of the fixed annual remuneration (30% × 50%). Within the existing governance framework, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee submits the revised Remuneration Policy to the Board of Directors for approval. Following Board approval, the policy is presented to the General Meeting of Shareholders for final adoption. Detailed information on the linkage of senior executives’ remuneration to sustainability-related key performance indicators (KPIs) is provided in the Group’s revised Remuneration Policy (remuneration-policy-2024_28042025.pdf).pdf). Due diligence statement (GOV4_01/ESRS 2/GOV4/30-32) The Group is commied to responsible business operaons through the implementaon of due diligence procedures for managing environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts, risks and opportunies. Due diligence is a structural element of the Group's ESG strategy, integrated into its risk management policies and its approach to sustainable development. Due diligence process In accordance with the requirements of ESRS 1, Chapter 4, the Group's due diligence process includes specific stages, which are mapped as follows:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 59 (1) Idenficaon and assessment of impacts, risks & opportunies o Applicaon of the Double Materiality Assessment process, which incorporates ESG impacts, risks and opportunies into the business strategy (see ESRS IRO-1). o Mapping ESG impacts, risks and opportunies across the value chain, covering both the upstream (suppliers) and downstream (customers and consumers) parts. o Assessment of impacts, risks and opportunies based on high-priority issues (e.g. circular economy, 2COemissions, product safety, labor pracces), in line with the results of the Double Materiality Assessment. (2) Implementaon of Risk Reducon & Opportunity Management Policies and Acons o Implementaon of ESG policies relang to responsible sourcing, waste management, climate impact and human rights. o Linking ESG targets to the Group's strategy, e.g. increasing the use of recycled materials, reducing waste and 2reducing COemissions from scope 1 & 2 by 42% by 2030, with 2023 as the base year. o Monitoring compliance with ESG indicators through the ESG & Audit Commiees. (3) Monitoring, reporng & connuous improvement o Regular monitoring of ESG performance through sustainability indicators and reporng systems (KPIs). o Submission of ESG reports to the Board of Directors and the ESG Commiee, ensuring transparency and alignment with internaonal standards (ESRS, GRI). o Planning of ESG policy assessments and reviews based on due diligence findings, supporng connuous adaptaon to best pracces and regulatory requirements. The Group implements a comprehensive due diligence framework that encompasses ESG risk idenficaon, policy implementaon, supplier management, and connuous monitoring. This approach ensures the resilience of the business model, transparency, and compliance with internaonal ESG guidelines, while promong sustainable development across the Group’s value chain. Risk management and internal controls for the sustainability informaon disclosure process (GOV5_01-05/ESRS 2/GOV5/36a) As part of its proacve efforts to enhance the maturity of the process, in 2025 the Group evaluated opons for the digizaon of the collecon, consolidaon, and preparaon of the Sustainability Report, while also developing a budget for the next three years to support the implementaon of the project. The ESG data digizaon iniave was presented to the ESG Commiee, emphasizing its crical role in improving traceability, standardizing comparability across subsidiaries, and enabling the proacve detecon of performance deviaons. Recognizing its strategic importance for ensuring robust data quality controls, the Executive Committee has allocated the necessary resources for its development, with full implementaon scheduled for 2026. Under the new process, risks related to the collecon, processing, and disclosure of sustainability informaon will be systemacally recorded and assessed, with appropriate internal safeguards and control mechanisms incorporated. Addionally, in 2026, the Internal Audit Unit will implement an audit framework to verify the completeness and reliability of the informaon included in the Sustainability Report. This framework will ensure the consistency of disclosures at Group level, strengthen the adequacy of audit procedures, and provide a stable foundaon for the future provision of independent assurance.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 66 Revenue by significant segment of the European Sustainability Reporng Standards (SBM-1_06-08/ESRS 2/SBM- 1/40a_b) The Group provides detailed information on its revenues by significant segment, as required by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The relevant revenue analysis is presented in the Group's financial statements, specifically in chapter 4.10.30 Business Units and Geographical Analysis tables. Group objecves and acons related to sustainability in terms of significant product and service groups, customer categories, geographical areas and stakeholder relaonships (SBM-1_21/ESRS 2/SBM-1/40e) The Group's sustainability strategy is a clear and organized plan that includes specific steps to improve our environmental and social performance. It covers all aspects of our operaons, from our products and collaboraon with our customers to our acvies in different geographical markets and our relaonships with all stakeholders who are directly or indirectly affected by our acvies. Products The Group's strategy places parcular emphasis on the packaging of its products, aiming to reduce the environmental footprint of its end products. In this context, it invests in soluons such as Doypacks, which not only have a reduced environmental footprint compared to the PET plasc packaging they are gradually replacing, but also offer a compeve advantage in the market (images SBM-1.4 & 1.5). Image SBM-1.4: PET plasc packaging Image SBM-1.5: Doypack packaging The Group is also invesng in the development of innovave refillable packaging soluons, providing consumers with a simple and convenient way to replenish products. Rather than purchasing new packaging each me, consumers can replace the inner capsule, helping to reduce raw material consumpon. A typical example is illustrated in image SBM- 1.6, where the total amount of packaging is reduced by up to 87%, while the inner capsule is fully recyclable, significantly lowering the environmental footprint of the products. Image SBM-1.6: Example of refillable packaging In addion, producing plasc bags from recycled LDPE and HDPE granules requires less energy than producon using virgin plasc. Reducing the use of virgin plasc also lowers the demand for oil and natural gas, which are the primary raw materials for manufacturing new plasc. Moreover, the use of recycled materials supports plasc waste management by extending the life cycle of plasc products that would otherwise end up in landfills or the environment.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 67 The producon of plasc pellets through regranulaon at the Group’s plants creates an internal recycling loop, reducing raw material losses and improving producon sustainability. With this investment, the Group takes a significant step toward environmental responsibility by adopng more sustainable producon pracces and reinforcing its strategy to reduce its environmental footprint. Image SBM-1.7: Top image: Group factory in Poniatowa, Poland. Boom leſt: Bales of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plasc film. Boom right: Being converted into plasc garbage bags. Customers The Group acvely responds to the growing demand for products with a lower environmental footprint by incorporang sustainability as a central pillar of its strategy. Promong products that meet high environmental standards is not just a response to our customers' demands, but also a conscious choice that is fully aligned with our corporate values. Geographical acvity The Group focuses on opmising energy efficiency and integrang sustainable pracces in its main geographical areas of operaon, with an emphasis on Greece and Poland. A strategic priority is the full alignment of new producon units (such as Stella Pack) with the Group's environmental standards. To this end, acons are being implemented for the gradual transion to renewable energy sources and the applicaon of resource-saving technologies, with the aim of decoupling business growth from the carbon footprint in all the markets in which the Group operates. Relaonships and partnerships The Group recognizes that the achievement of long-term sustainability goals depends directly on close cooperaon and strategic alignment with the enre value chain. In this context, it seeks to build relaonships of mutual trust with our suppliers (upstream) and customers (downstream), with the aim of co-creang a responsible supply chain. Our priority is to acvely engage stakeholders in the process of reducing our indirect environmental footprint. Through regular consultaons and the establishment of common sustainability criteria, we work to ensure business ethics, transparency and environmental responsibility across the enre spectrum of our partnerships, strengthening the Group's resilience and sustainable development. Assessment of significant products, markets and customer categories in relaon to the Group's sustainability objecves (SBM-1_22/ESRS 2/SBM-1/40f) Products The Group promotes the development and distribuon of products with a reduced carbon footprint and a circular approach, tailored to the needs of both consumers and business customers. These iniaves support the Group’s strategy to reduce scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 42% by 2030, as well as its long-term goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. In the Sustainability Report for the previous reporng period, the Group announced that it had set scienfically based emission reducon targets (Science-Based Targets SBTi), which are intended to be validated by the Science-Based Targets iniave. While validaon was inially planned for 2025, a budget review has shiſted the expected compleon to 2026.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 68 Markets and customer categories These are detailed in the secon "Significant markets and customer groups of the Group (SBM-1_02/ESRS 2/SBM- 1/40a ii)". Elements of the Group's strategy that relate to or influence sustainability topics (SBM-1_23/ESRS 2/SBM-1/40g) The Group remains commied to implemenng its strategic development plan and incorporates sustainability as a key element of its business strategy. The three strategic pillars are a) strong growth, b) simplificaon & efficiency, and c) organizaonal capability, which form the framework for creang sustainable value and minimizing the environmental and social impact of the Group's acvies. Addressing sustainability challenges Considering the rapid evoluon of the regulatory, energy, and market environment, the Group recognizes that integrang sustainability into its business model presents specific future challenges. The main challenges, along with the Group’s strategic responses, are summarized as follows: 1. Increasing regulatory complexity and transparency requirements: The ongoing strengthening of the European regulatory framework, including requirements on sustainability disclosures, products, packaging, and supply chain issues, increases the need for accurate, consistent, and auditable data. The Group is enhancing its ESG data governance systems, internal control procedures, and coordinaon between the parent company and subsidiaries to ensure mely and reliable compliance. 2. Climate transion and energy costs: Achieving the Group’s climate goals requires gradually reducing the carbon footprint of its energy mix, accelerang energy-related investments, and improving efficiency in producon units. At the same me, energy price volality and evolving regulaons may increase operang costs. The strategic response focuses on targeted efficiency investments, the use of renewable energy, and operaonal opmizaon to reduce exposure to energy and transion risks. 3. Transion to circular products and packaging: Market expectaons are increasingly focused on recyclability, material reducon, and the substuon of substances and ingredients, requiring connuous technical adaptaon of the porolio. The Group promotes systemac packaging redesign, enhanced circularity, and targeted intervenons in products and materials, while ensuring that product performance and safety are maintained. 4. Supply chain resilience and responsibility: The availability and cost of cerfied or recycled raw materials, along with increasing due diligence requirements, are crical for medium-term compeveness. The Group is planning to strengthen cooperaon with suppliers, update responsible sourcing criteria, and enhance sustainability assessment mechanisms. In response to rising regulatory demands (e.g., CSRD, NIS2), a targeted market assessment has already begun to idenfy suitable digital tools and soluons, with the aim of gradually implemenng them at Group level to improve risk management and business connuity. 5. Organizaonal readiness and skills development: Effecve implementaon of the Group’s sustainability strategy requires skilled personnel, operaonal consistency, and a shared corporate culture across all countries of operaon. The Group connues to systemacally invest in execuve training to ensure that sustainability commitments are implemented effecvely. Overall, the Group’s strategy focuses on the mely idenficaon and management of future challenges, aiming to safeguard compeveness, comply with regulatory requirements, and create long-term value for all stakeholders. Descripon of the business model and value chain (SBM-1_25/ESRS 2/SBM-1/42) Business model The business model that supports and ensures the implementaon of the Group's strategic objecves consists of the following: o Focus on maintaining dynamic sales growth on an organic basis, with the complementary exploraon of growth opportunies through acquisions to follow, in combinaon with new strategic internaonal brand distribuon agreements, as well as expanding the Group's geographical footprint in markets where it already operates. o Commitment to cost opmizaon, economies of scale and the exploitaon of synergies. o Effecve liquidity management.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 69 o Reinvestment of net cash flows to further strengthen the operaon and financing of its development projects. The implementaon of the above pillars is linked to the achievement of a broader range of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sub-goals, such as, indicavely, promong health and well-being (SDG 3), strengthening educaon and skills development (SDG 4), promong equality (SDG 5), more efficient use of resources and energy (SDGs 6, 7, 9.4 and 12), enhancing economic producvity and decent work (SDGs , 8.2 and 8.8), taking acon on climate change and protecng natural ecosystems (SDGs 13, 14 and 15), strengthening responsible governance (SDG 16) and developing partnerships (SDG 17.17). Value chain The Group manages a value chain that covers all of its producon and commercial acvies, from the procurement of raw materials and packaging materials to the producon, storage, distribuon and markeng of its products. In this context, it seeks to improve the operaonal efficiency and sustainability of the value chain through partnerships with suppliers, investments in more efficient technologies and the gradual integraon of relevant criteria into product and process design. The expected benefits per key stakeholder group include: for customers and consumers, improved product quality, safety and availability, as well as a gradual improvement in the environmental performance of products and packaging; for investors and other capital providers, enhanced risk management, greater resilience of the Group's supply and operaonal base, and support for long-term business connuity; for suppliers and other business partners, clearer technical and regulatory requirements, more structured cooperaon and gradual enhancement of transparency and traceability throughout the value chain, for employees, support for safer and more efficient work processes, for society and the environment, a contribuon to reducing resource and energy consumpon, liming related environmental impacts and supporng more responsible producon and product disposal pracces. (a) Upstream acvies: supplies and inputs The Group's supply chain comprises a diverse network of suppliers operang both within and outside the European Union, all of whom are evaluated based on the Group’s Code of Conduct.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 70 o Cerficaons: Suppliers are selected based on quality and sustainability standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001), while for specific raw materials such as paper and palm oil, priority is given to FSC/PEFC and RSPO cerfied materials, respecvely. o Key Inputs: The main inputs include plasc materials (HDPE, LDPE, PET polymers), aluminium, and cardboard packaging materials. o Sustainability criteria: The procurement strategy focuses on increasing the proporon of recycled plasc (PCR) and reducing the weight of primary packaging. (b) Own operaons: producon and distribuon In our own industrial facilies (e.g. Greece, Poland), standardized producon processes are implemented with an emphasis on resource opmizaon. o Energy efficiency: The Group monitors specific energy intensity indicators (kWh per producon unit), invests in photovoltaic systems to cover part of its needs and in the purchase of guarantees of origin (GOs) with the 2 aim of reducing COscope 2 emissions. o Circular economy: The producon unit in Poland (Niemce) is a central pillar, as it converts plasc waste into recycled LDPE granules, which are reused to produce waste bags. (c) Downstream acvies: customers and consumers The Group distributes its products through an extensive network (retail, pharmacies, e-commerce). o Consumer expectaons: Consumer needs are idenfied through periodic market research, trend analysis and direct communicaon channels (customer service, social media), ensuring that innovaon keeps pace with the demand for more environmentally friendly products. o Environmental benefit: The use of refillable packaging (e.g. for personal care products) and doypacks leads to a reducon in plasc use per product unit compared to convenonal packaging, improving the circularity profile of the final product. Assessment and analysis of stakeholders in the Group's business model (SBM-2_01-12/ESRS 2/SBM-2/45) The Group implements a structured stakeholder management framework with the aim of supporng sustainable development, corporate governance and transparency. Its strategy is based on the acve parcipaon of stakeholders and the integraon of their views into the decision-making process, enhancing the resilience and long-term value of the business model. Analysis of the idenficaon of the Group's stakeholders The idenficaon and assessment of stakeholders was based on an internal assessment carried out by the Group in 2024 and confirms that it follows a structured methodology for mapping stakeholders based on their influence and interest in the Group (power-interest matrix). This allows stakeholders to be classified into four categories, depending on their influence and interest in the Group's acvies. The main stakeholder groups include: o High power, high interest: Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Shareholders & Capital Providers, Regulatory Authories, Suppliers & Partners. o High power, low interest: Business Community. o Low power, high interest: Employees, Consumers, Local Communies. o Low power, low interest: General Public. Developing relaonships and cooperaon with stakeholders and incorporang their feedback into the Group's strategy and business model The Group applies a structured approach to identifying, mapping and prioritizing key stakeholders who influence or are influenced by its activities. The assessment was based on the degree of influence and interaction of each group with the Group's strategy, business model and value chain. In this context, ten key stakeholder groups were identified and prioritised: the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, shareholders and capital providers, retail customers,
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 71 suppliers and partners, consumers, employees, society and local communities, government and regulatory authorities, and the business community. The initial assessment was based mainly on a hierarchical approach, with an emphasis on the contribution of Management. During the update of the Double Materiality Assessment in 2025, the process was broadened to incorporate wider feedback from internal and external stakeholders, with the aim of: (a) confirming the material issues identified in 2024, (b) highlighting emerging impacts, risks and opportunities, and (c) enhancing the completeness and credibility of the process. In terms of internal updating, in 2025, the Group's management and employees were mainly covered, through the incorporation of opinions and documented feedback on issues related to sustainability, the Group's operation and corporate culture. At the external update level, targeted participation focused on selected stakeholder groups, depending on their relevance to the issues under consideration and the availability of appropriate sources of feedback. Specifically: Stakeholder group Feedback method (2025) Analysis of purchasing behaviours and expectaons related to Customers sustainability. Assessment of ESG risks in the supply chain and collaboraon on Suppliers & partners sustainability iniaves. Preference surveys and evaluaon of sustainable product Consumers characteriscs. Integraon of human resources' views on ESG issues and Employees sustainability culture. Collaboraon with the industry on best sustainability pracces and Business community ESG benchmarks. Classificaon of Group stakeholders The Group systemacally idenfies and manages its stakeholders in order to determine (a) who is affected or likely to be affected by its acvies and (b) who uses the Sustainability Report for informaon, evaluaon and decision-making purposes. The categorizaon is based on stakeholder mapping (PowerInterest Matrix), value chain mapping (upstreamown operaonsdownstream) and linking expectaons/impacts to the Group's strategy and business model (including the Double Materiality Assessment process). A. Stakeholders affected or likely to be affected The groups affected/likely to be affected by the Group's acvies include: o Employees (own operaons): affected by working condions, health & safety, skills development and corporate culture. o Consumers (downstream): affected by product safety, quality of informaon/labelling, and environmental impacts associated with product use/disposal (e.g. packaging waste, microplascs where relevant). o Society & local communies (same funcons & downstream, depending on presence): affected by operaonal acvies, resource consumpon, waste management, as well as social investments/relaonships with the community. o Suppliers & partners (upstream) as business relaonships: may be affected by responsible sourcing requirements, ESG criteria, material/packaging specificaons and compliance expectaons. B. Users of the Sustainability Report The groups that use the Sustainability Report include: o Shareholders & capital providers: use disclosures to assess risks/opportunies, resilience and governance, as well as for the overall investment picture. o Government & Regulatory Authories: use disclosures for compliance, oversight and harmonisaon with regulatory requirements. o Business community: uses disclosures as a benchmark for pracces, standards, collaboraons and comparability.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 72 o Customers (especially organized customers/chains): use disclosures for responsible supply chain requirements, supplier evaluaon and ESG performance documentaon. C. Groups of both (A & B) categories Some groups are both affected by and users of the Sustainability Report, as they have a direct business relaonship with the Group and also use the disclosures for assessment/decision-making purposes: o Customers, suppliers & partners, as well as consumers and society/local communies (as recipients of informaon and transparency). Integraon of stakeholder feedback into the Group's strategy and business model The Group incorporates stakeholder feedback into its materiality process and annual sustainability review. Feedback is assessed alongside regulatory requirements, internal data, and operaonal priories, and is used to priorize issues and refine selected sustainability acons. During the reporng year, stakeholder input was parcularly influenal in the areas of product circularity and recyclability, supply chain pracces, market transparency, and the strengthening of corporate governance. Adjustments to strategy and business model In 2025, the Group updated its Double Materiality Assessment process, incorporating guidance from senior leadership, including the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, and expanding engagement with internal and external stakeholders. Building on the initial 2024 implementation, the 2025 process involved a diverse group of over 50 internal stakeholders, ranging from directors and managers to other key personnel, alongside targeted external engagement. Feedback was collected from stakeholders directly connected to the Group’s ecosystem, including suppliers, partners, retail customers, members of the business and investment community, and consumer representatives. This input helped validate and update the assessment of impacts, risks, and opportunities, while prioritizing the issues of highest relevance to the Group. The 2025 results led to refinements in priorities, procedures, and implementation mechanisms without fundamentally altering the Group’s business model. In particular, focus was strengthened on critical product and consumer issues, such as quality, safety, and privacy, alongside the integration of sustainability criteria into the supply chain. Efforts were also enhanced to further develop the data and disclosure infrastructure to support regulatory compliance and transparent reporting. Informing management and supervisory bodies about stakeholder views In 2025, the briefing of management and supervisory bodies was based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment and consultation with internal and external stakeholders. The important issues, relevant impacts, risks and opportunities, as well as the key expectations of stakeholders, were compiled in the form of recommendations to the Executive Committee, which assessed the impacts and set priorities for the implementation of relevant functions. Executive Committee assessed the operational and strategic implications of the findings, prioritised them and identified the functions responsible for implementing the required actions. At the supervisory level, the ESG Committee reviewed the adequacy of the proposed measures and their alignment with the sustainability strategy and regulatory requirements. The main issues and progress in implementation were communicated to the Board of Directors through the ESG Committee, as part of the established corporate governance flow. Descripon of significant impacts, risks and opportunies from the materiality analysis (SBM-3_01&02/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48a) In developing the Group’s impact materiality for 2025, thirty-one (31) ESRS subtopics were reviewed and assessed for their relevance across the Group’s value chain. These topics cover both the Group’s own operations as well as the upstream and downstream segments of the value chain. Of the thirty-one subtopics examined, twelve (12) were identified as material.

Special emphasis was placed on issues with high financial significance, based on the Group’s established materiality threshold. In the upstream segment of the value chain, the Group’s primary exposure relates to the availability and cost of raw materials and packaging materials, as well as traceability and regulatory compliance requirements. Addionally, priories in these operaons include improving energy efficiency, managing regulatory obligaons, ensuring occupaonal health and safety, and maintaining business connuity. Downstream, crical focus areas include product safety, accurate labelling and documentaon of claims, and the protecon of consumer personal data at digital touchpoints. At the decision-making level, the 2025 findings led to clearer priorizaon of acons, including strengthening energy efficiency and climate transion iniaves, enhancing product and packaging circularity, deepening supplier assessments with ESG and cybersecurity criteria, reinforcing product quality and safety mechanisms, and further developing the data protecon framework under the coordinaon of the Data Protecon Officer. The following table presents the risks and opportunies with high financial significance, as idenfied in the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, along with their links to the respecve stages of the value chain and the Group’s strategic priories.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 76 How the Group's significant negave and posive impacts affect (or, in the case of potenal impacts, are likely to affect) people or the environment (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48c i) Significant negative environmental impacts are primarily related to greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain, resource consumption, waste generation, and the potential release of microplastics into the environment. These impacts occur throughout the value chain, encompassing the Group’s own operations as well as upstream and downstream activities. They are assessed as actual or potential depending on the nature of the activity, the level of control exercised, and the stage of the value chain in which they are identified. In terms of social impact, notable negative effects are linked to employee health and safety, as well as consumer safety and data privacy. Conversely, positive impacts arise from the systematic enhancement of circularity practices, the provision of accurate and reliable information to consumers, and the continuous strengthening of policies that promote equal opportunities, skills development, work-life balance, and a culture of integrity. Significant impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with the strategy and business model (SBM- 3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48c ii) The interaction of material issues with the Group’s business model is direct, reflecting the characteristics of the fast- moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector and the complexity of its extensive value chain. Environmental and social impacts influence costs, operational continuity, access to markets, and the confidence of consumers and business partners. Consequently, the Group’s strategy is built around three interrelated pillars: (a) transitioning to more efficient use of energy and resources, with particular focus on packaging and material circularity, (b) enhancing prevention and preparedness in product safety and occupational health and safety, and (c) advancing data governance and digital compliance to protect privacy. At the same time, the integration of the Double Materiality Assessment findings into operational risk management continues to ensure that sustainability considerations are embedded across the organization. Time horizons for impact assessment (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48c iii) The me horizons for impact assessment are presented in detail in secon "BP2_01/ESRS 2/BP2/9a-b". Descripon of the nature of the Group's acvies and their link to the idenfied impacts (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM- 3/48c-iv) The Group is directly connected to the identified significant impacts not only through its own operations but also through its upstream and downstream business relationships. This linkage arises from the integrated manner in which the Group designs, sources, manufactures, and distributes its products, as well as from the interaction of these activities with environmental and social dimensions. Environmental pillar Within the environmental sphere, the Group’s interaction is multidimensional and spans the entire product life cycle. Regarding climate change (ESRS E1), the Group’s own operations—including energy consumption at production facilities and transportation—generate both direct and indirect emissions, which require continuous monitoring and management. A substantial portion of the environmental footprint, however, is upstream in the value chain, through the procurement of raw materials and packaging, whose production is associated with scope 3 CO2 emissions and the consumption of natural resources. Additionally, climate variability poses risks to the global availability of these resources, necessitating adaptive supply strategies. Management of the circular economy (ESRS E5) and pollution (ESRS E2) is also critical. Upstream, strict material selection specifications are established to meet evolving environmental standards, influencing product design. Downstream, consumer use of products can increase the energy footprint, while the handling of packaging waste at the end of its life cycle is a key element of compliance with extended producer responsibility requirements and overall environmental impact reduction.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 77 Social pillar From a social perspective, the Group’s impacts primarily concern the protection of human capital and consumers. In its own operations (ESRS S1), production and storage activities involve inherent operational risks, which are closely linked to safeguarding the health and physical well-being of employees, as well as ensuring business continuity. Extending responsibility downstream (ESRS S4), consumer safety remains a top priority. Internal quality control mechanisms serve as the first line of defense against incidents, while accurate product information and strict adherence to safety standards are essential for maintaining market confidence and protecting public health. In summary, the significant impacts identified for 2025 reflect the Group’s strategic positioning on climate transition, regulatory compliance, and social responsibility, embedding prevention and sustainability considerations at the core of its business model. Current financial impacts of financially significant risks and opportunies (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48d) In 2025, the Group assessed its significant sustainability risks and opportunies as part of the Double Materiality Assessment, using criteria of potenal impact magnitude and likelihood of occurrence. For financial materiality purposes, a reporng threshold of €5.41 million was applied. The assessment established a hierarchy of risks and opportunies but did not include a separate quanficaon of their current financial impact on the Group’s financial posion, performance, or cash flows at the level of individual financial statement items. A mechanism remains in place to monitor relevant issues through risk management, financial planning, and internal control procedures, ensuring ongoing oversight even in the absence of numerical quanficaon. Expected financial impacts in the short, medium and long term (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48e) For the 2025 reporng period, the Group has not carried out a quantave assessment of the expected financial impact of significant risks and opportunies across different me horizons (short-term, medium-term, long-term) in relaon to its financial posion, results, or cash flows. As a result, this disclosure is based on a qualitave assessment derived from the Double Materiality Assessment and is primarily used for risk priorizaon and management purposes. The Group, in collaboraon with the relevant financial and operaonal departments, plans to further refine the methodology in future periods to strengthen the quanficaon of impacts and their linkage to specific financial statement items. Informaon on the resilience of the company's strategy and business model in terms of its ability to cope with significant impacts and risks, as well as to exploit significant opportunies (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48f) For 2025, the Group’s resilience assessment is based on the outcomes of the Double Materiality Assessment and the exisng risk management processes. The material topics, impacts, risks, and opportunies informing this assessment are presented in secon SBM-3/48b (impact on business model and value chain) and in the relevant IRO tables of the Report. The financial dimension of economically significant risks and opportunies, including the assessment methodology and the financial materiality threshold, is described in secons SBM-3/48d and SBM-3/48e and is not repeated here. Resilience for 2025 was assessed primarily on a qualitave basis, through the integraon of Double Materiality Assessment results into operaonal planning, compliance, supply chain management, product quality and safety, and operaonal governance. No fully quanfied resilience analysis with economic scenarios at Group level was performed during the reporng period. The methodology is gradually maturing, aiming to strengthen the connecon between Double Materiality, central risk management, and strategic planning in future reporng periods.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 78 Changes in material impacts, risks and opportunies compared to the previous reporng period (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48g) The 2025 update of the Double Materiality Assessment confirmed the overall connuity of the Group’s significant issues, with targeted adjustments regarding (a) the financial significance threshold, (b) the idenficaon of new material impacts, and (c) the specificaon of financially material risks and opportunies. For comparability, it should be noted that the financial materiality threshold increased from €4.71 mil. in 2024 to €5.41 mil. in 2025, which affects the classificaon of IROs as “high financial materiality.” Changes in significant impacts in 2025 compared to 2024 ESRS Topic/sub-topic 2024 2025 Classificaon 2025 Negave, potenal Not idenfied as a Risks of employee S1 Employee privacy (own operaons, significant impact personal data leaks medium/long term) Working condions Negave, potenal Not idenfied as a Workplace S1 Harassment in the (same funcons, significant impact harassment workplace medium/long term) Negave, potenal Not idenfied as a Risks of consumer S4 Consumer privacy (upstream, significant impact personal data leaks medium/long term) Changes in financially significant risks and opportunies in 2025 compared to 2024 Category 2024 2025 Change Availability of low-carbon Specificaon and reinforcement Risk Technological risks technologies and transion of transion risk risk Risk of regulatory More targeted mapping with Risk Regulatory risks arrangements and carbon explicit reference to carbon costs costs Disrupon of raw Increase in raw material costs New disnct cost mapping Risk material supply (circular (e.g. cerfied oils, recycled beyond availability economy) plascs) Increased operaonal Risk - adjustment costs due to New disnct risk in 2025 climate change Idenficaon of impacts, risks and opportunies covered by ESRS disclosure requirements, as opposed to those covered by the company through addional, organizaon-specific disclosures (SBM-3_03/ESRS 2/SBM-3/48h) As part of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, the Group mapped the material IROs to the relevant ESRS disclosure requirements. This mapping showed that the material issues are covered by the ESRS themac standards E1, E2, E5, S1, S4, and G1, together with the horizontal disclosures of ESRS 2. Consequently, for the 2025 reporng period, no addional enty-specific disclosures were required. Where necessary for clarity and completeness, the Group provides supplementary operaonal details within the respecve disclosures (e.g., value chain, me horizons, key assumpons). Descripon of the process for idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies (IRO1_01/ESRS 2/IRO1/53a) In line with ESRS disclosure requirements, in 2025 the Group updated its Double Materiality Assessment, applying a systemac and methodical approach to the idenficaon, assessing and reviewing significant sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunies. Descripon of the methodologies and assumpons applied in the Double Materiality Assessment development process The process was based on internaonally recognized standards, such as the ESRS guidelines, and was implemented through the following stages:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 79 1. Definion of the Double Materiality Assessment process The Group's approach combined: o Impact Materiality, i.e. the assessment of the impact of the Group's acvies on the environment and society, and o Financial Materiality, i.e. the assessment of risks and opportunies that may affect its financial performance. The Double Materiality Assessment is based on the steps described below: A. Definion of the assessment framework Determinaon of the boundaries of “own operaons” was based on the principle of operaonal control. This approach includes all facilies and acvies over which the Group exercises full or majority influence in decision-making, ensuring that the assessment focuses on direct sustainability impacts that are under its control. It also involves developing a comprehensive understanding of the Group’s operaons, documenng relevant processes and stakeholder engagement, and creang an inial list of issues for consideraon. The inial long list of potenal impacts, risks, and opportunies was developed prior to the scoring phase using a combined approach: (a) mapping the Group’s main acvies and key upstream and downstream value chain flows to idenfy potenal points of impact; (b) matching the idenfied areas with ESRS topics and sub-topics, based on the guidance in ESRS 1 (AR 9(a), AR 16) and relevant EFRAG guidance; and (c) documenng the findings through available internal sources (e.g., policies and procedures, exisng ESG data, recorded operaonal issues) as well as literature and regulatory reviews. This long list served as the starng point for compiling the list of potenally material topics in step 3, aſter incorporang stakeholder feedback and assessing materiality. B. Determinaon of the assessment process Defining and documenng the scoring method, thresholds, stakeholder engagement procedures and potenal synergies with exisng processes. (ESRS 2 IRO1, EFRAG DMA guidance 59, 63(b), (d)). C. Idenficaon of impacts, risks and opportunies (IROs) Compile a list of potenally significant sustainability issues, incorporang informaon from internal analysis and stakeholder feedback. (ESRS 1 AR 9(b), EFRAG DMA guidance 65, 66). D. Assessment of IROs The assessment of significant impacts, risks, and opportunies (IROs) for 2025 was conducted using the Group’s Double Materiality Assessment methodology, applying two disnct evaluaons: (a) the significance of impacts (Weighted Impact Materiality Score WIMS), and (b) the financial materiality of risks and opportunies (Weighted Financial Materiality Score WFMS). The impact assessment considered the nature and significance of each impact before accounng for exisng or planned measures, policies, and controls. For negave impacts, scale, scope, irreversibility, and probability were assessed, while for posive impacts, scale, scope, and probability were considered. To weight the WIMS results, short-term, medium-term, and long-term me horizons were applied with weights of 20%, 40%, and 40%, respecvely. Rankings were classified as High, Medium, or Low significance according to the thresholds defined in the methodology. Financial significance (WFMS) was assessed by combining (i) the potenal financial impact in euros and (ii) the probability of occurrence, per me horizon. For each horizon, significance was calculated as the product of magnitude × probability, and a weighted overall index was derived using the same 20% (short-term), 40% (medium-term), 40% (long-term) weighng. This approach reflects the me dynamics of sustainability issues, where most impacts, risks, and opportunies manifest gradually, with greater operaonal and economic significance in the medium and long term. Final scores were determined through a structured consolidaon of the inial mapping by the ESG Lead, incorporang feedback from internal execuves with experse in each subject area, and input from external stakeholders, who contributed to the confirmaon and verificaon of results. The consolidaon process applied deviaon rules, documentaon checks, and predefined weighng (typically 40% inial assessment / 60% internal stakeholder
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 80 feedback), with the possibility of assigning greater weight to execuves’ opinions in cases of significant documented deviaons. The results were validated by the Executive Committee, the ESG Commiee, and the Board of Directors. E. Finalizaon of IROs Compleon of the assessment, scoring and determinaon of materiality thresholds for each topic. Confirmaon of disclosure obligaons. (ESRS 1 AR 9(c), 10, 11, 14, 15, EFRAG DMA guidance 78). 2. Methodology for assessing and scoring material topics Impact Materiality For the quantave and qualitave assessment of issues, a scoring system with specific indicators was applied, as analyzed below: o Scale: The severity of the impact o Scope: The geographical and populaon extent of the impact o Irremediability: The possibility of restoring the impact (only for negave impacts) o Likelihood: The probability of the impact occurring By evaluang and scoring the above indicators, the Impact Materiality Score is calculated for each issue and for each me period. Then, based on the weighng of each me period, the final weighted score (Weighted Impact Materiality Score – WIMS) is calculated for each issue and, according to the WIMS score, the issue is classified as high, medium or low impact (posive or negave). Financial Materiality For the purposes of Financial Materiality, the Group esmates, for each risk and opportunity, the expected size of the financial impact per me horizon and corresponds it to predetermined ranges in euros, with the financial materiality threshold for 2025 (€5.41 mil.) as a reference point. Scale of financial impact (in €) 0: < €1 mil. 1: €15 mil. 2: €515 mil. 3: > €15 mil. For each me horizon, significance is derived from a combinaon of magnitude and likelihood (significance = magnitude × likelihood). The overall assessment is reflected in the Weighted Financial Materiality Score (WFMS), which explicitly incorporates the probability and weights of the me horizons and is used to classify and priorize risks and opportunies. Financial significance and categorizaon rule - High financial impact (financially significant): WFMS ≥ 1.20 (cost or benefit from the risk or opportunity more than €5.41m) - Medium financial impact: 0.80 ≤ WFMS < 1.20. (cost or benefit from the risk or opportunity between €1m - €5.41m) - Low financial impact: WFMS < 0.80. (cost or benefit from risk or opportunity between less than €1m) With the aim of balancing profitability, scale and comparability between years, the Group applies a double criterion for determining the threshold, with stability safeguards. Descripon of the process for idenfying, assessing, priorizing and monitoring exisng and potenal impacts on people and the environment, based on the due diligence process (IRO1_02-06/ESRS 2/IRO1/53b i-iv) The Group conducts a retrospecve due diligence review following the compleon of each Double Materiality Assessment cycle to ensure the completeness, consistency, and proper documentaon of idenfied impacts on people and the environment. This review focuses on acvies, business relaonships, and geographical areas with elevated
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 81 risk exposure, considering both impacts arising from the Group’s own operaons and those stemming from upstream and downstream value chain relaonships. The retrospecve review integrates the results of the 2025 internal parcipatory process, which included input from 53 execuves across crical funcons, as well as targeted feedback from external stakeholders, to confirm the relevance of the findings to the Group’s business model, strategy, and stakeholder expectaons. Negave impacts are assessed and ranked based on severity and likelihood of occurrence, while human rights issues are primarily evaluated according to severity. The outcomes of this review are used to finalize the priorizaon of issues, monitor the implementaon of correcve and prevenve acons, and support the preparaon of the relevant disclosures in the Sustainability Report. Descripon of the decision-making process and related internal control procedures (IRO1_11/ESRS 2/IRO1/53d) The Group applies a documented decision-making process, with a clear division of roles between the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the relevant Commiees of the Board of Directors. The process covers strategic, operaonal, regulatory and sustainability issues, so that decisions are made consistently and with adequate oversight. Strategic direcons and key approvals are provided by the Board of Directors, while the Executive Committee assesses the operaonal, financial and regulatory implicaons and recommends the necessary acons. The ESG Commiee and the Audit Commiee supervise, within their respecve areas of competence, sustainability, compliance and the reliability of relevant disclosures. For regulatory compliance issues, a standardised approval flow is applied: idenficaon/interpretaon of requirements by the relevant funcons, assessment of impacts and compliance plan, approval by the relevant execuve bodies and, where required, final validaon at Board/commiee level. Progress is monitored through periodic reports. The Internal Control System supports the process through: o defined policies and procedures, o first and second level controls (data owners/control funcons), o documentaon and retenon of evidence, o independent review by the Internal Audit funcon, and o external assurance on sustainability disclosures, where applicable. Sustainability risk management is funconally linked to the Group's ERM framework, so that the results of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment feed into risk priorizaon, operaonal planning and acon monitoring. As part of the Group's Long-Term Incenve Plan (LTI), the performance assessment for the third cycle (20252027) includes, among the key performance indicators, an indicator related to the reducon of Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, with a weighng of 30%. In this way, part of the long-term variable remuneraon of beneficiaries is linked to the Group's climate performance and supports the Group's overall direcon to reduce absolute CO₂ emissions from Scope 1 and 2 by 2030, compared to the base year 2023. This indicator is assessed at the end of the performance cycle, in accordance with the terms of the program and the relevant approvals of the competent bodies. Descripon of the extent and methodology by which the idenficaon, assessment, and management of impacts and risks are integrated into the overall risk management framework. This includes how these elements inform the assessment of the Group’s overall risk profile and risk management processes (IRO1_12/ESRS 2/IRO1/53e) During the 2025 reporng period, the Group ulized the results of the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) process as part of its broader approach to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), with the aim of taking sustainability issues into account in the Group's overall risk mapping. The link was implemented bidireconally, as follows: o From ERM to DMA: ERM's high-ranking cyber security risk was incorporated into the Double Materiality Assessment through the privacy issues in ESRS S1 (Own staff) and ESRS S4 (Consumers and end users).
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 82 o From DMA to ERM: the climate risks and opportunies idenfied by the DMA 2025 process fed into ERM as inputs for the Group's climate exposure (parcularly in terms of compliance/transion costs, supply resilience and energy efficiency/decarbonisaon). With this approach, sustainability risks are not assessed in isolaon but are integrated into the overall business risk hierarchy and decision-making, with joint monitoring by the relevant funcons and updang as part of the annual review cycle. Descripon of the input parameters used in the process of idenfying, assessing and managing significant impacts, risks and opportunies (IRO1_14/ESRS 2/IRO1/53g) During the 2025 reporng period, the Group used a combinaon of internal and external data for the Double Materiality Assessment and IRO management. These parameters were consistently applied to value chain analysis (upstream, own operaons, downstream), issue priorizaon and their link to risk management. The main categories of internal data included: o acvity and value chain data (operaonal, environmental, social and economic), o impact materiality criteria (severity/probability, where applicable), o financial materiality criteria (size of financial impact, probability, 2025 materiality threshold), o regulatory/normave developments and market requirements, o targeted stakeholder feedback. The relevant parameters, data sources and how they are applied are presented in detail in secons: o IRO1_02-06 / ESRS 2 / IRO-1 / 53b (impact idenficaon and assessment), o IRO1_07-10 / ESRS 2 / IRO-1 / 53c (financial risks and opportunies), o IRO1_12 / ESRS 2 / IRO-1 / 53e (integraon into overall risk management), o BP2_03-06 and BP2_07-09 / ESRS 2 / BP-2 (data sources, assumpons and uncertaines). Descripon of how the process of idenfying, assessing and managing impacts, risks and opportunies has changed compared to the previous reporng period (IRO1_15/ESRS 2/IRO1/53h) During the 2025 reporng period, the Group updated the process for idenfying, assessing and managing IROs, maintaining basic methodological consistency with the previous year and strengthening its implementaon. The main changes compared to 2024 concern: (i) expanded parcipaon of internal funcons and targeted involvement of selected external stakeholders, (ii) clearer mapping of IROs to the stages of the value chain (upstream, own funcons, downstream), and (iii) internal evaluaon and validaon flow of results. These adjustments enhanced the consistency, comparability and traceability of the process for 2025. Publicaon of a list of requirements in accordance with the European Sustainability Reference Standards (ESRS datapoints) (IRO2_02/ESRS 2/IRO2/56) The table below presents the European Sustainability Reporng Standards (ESRS) datapoints applied in this Sustainability Report. These disclosures are based on the results of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), specifically focusing on impacts, risks, and opportunies assessed as highly material. For the 2025 reporng period, the Group did not apply any phased-in exempons provided under ESRS 1 Annex C. Any issue not idenfied as material during the 2025 DMA is indicated as "Not material."

This is why in December 2019, the European Union (EU) presented the European Green Deal, which includes a set of initiatives on climate, environment, energy, transport, industry, agriculture and sustainable finance, with the aim of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. To enable this transition, the Paris Climate Agreement and the European Green Deal consider sustainable investment as an important starting point. A key instrument in this context is the European Taxonomy (https://ec.europa.eu/info/business- economyeuro/banking-and-finance/sustainable-finance/eu-taxonomy-sustainable-activities_en), a classification system for sustainable economic activities to promote investment in them. According to "Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 2020 establishing a framework to facilitate sustainable investment and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088", an economic activity is considered environmentally sustainable if it contributes significantly to the achievement of one or more of the following environmental objectives. The environmental objectives set under the Classification Regulation are: 1. Climate change mitigation 2. Adapting to climate change 3. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources 4. Transition to a circular economy 5. prevention and control 6. Protecting and restoring biodiversity and ecosystems At the same time, an economic activity is considered to be in line with the Taxonomy when it cumulatively meets all of the following criteria: i. It contributes significantly to the achievement of one or more of the environmental objectives set out in the Taxonomy. ii. It does not significantly burden any of the other environmental objectives set out in the Taxonomy, meeting the criteria for “Do Not Significant Harm (DNSH)”. iii. It is carried out in accordance with the minimum safeguards set out in the Taxonomy, which relate to all activities and in particular the protection of human rights and social standards iv. It complies with the technical control criteria for each economic activity regarding the achievement of environmental objectives Since its inception on January 1, 2022, the EU Taxonomy Regulation has required companies to provide comprehensive Taxonomy disclosures. By the 2025 reporting period, the technical screening criteria for all six environmental objectives have been fully enacted through the relevant Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts (including 2021/2139, 2022/1214, 2023/2486, and 2023/2485). With the conclusion of the transitional reporting phase, the Group now fully adheres to the regulation for the 2025 financial year. This report provides a detailed breakdown of both eligibility and alignment for key financial indicators, ensuring complete transparency in accordance with the latest EU Taxonomy requirements. The Group has conducted an exercise to identify eligible and aligned activities to comply with the requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation. As part of the Taxonomy disclosure process, the Group presents in the following section the key performance indicators related to its financial activities for the fiscal year 2025. The Group has reviewed thoroughly its activities in order to determine the percentage of those that fall within the scope of the Classification. This process forms the basis of its disclosures for Classification purposes in each year's annual financial statements. We have identified the following eligible economic activities:

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 87 Assessment of eligibility and compliance with the Taxonomy regulation and technical control criteria Assessment for eligibility by Taxonomy Electricity generation from photovoltaics (D.35.1.1) Classification description The activity concerns the construction or operation of electricity generation facilities that produce electricity using solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. Group Description As part of its greenhouse gas emissions reduction program, the Group has developed on-site photovoltaic (PV) systems across its operations. Key investments are centered at the Oinofyta plant, where the first installation phase was completed in 2021, followed by a second phase in January 2024, bringing the total installed capacity to 1.9 MW. In Poland, the Polipak production facility has developed a PV capacity of 1.2 MW. During the 2025 reporting period, these installations remained fully operational, supporting the gradual reduction of the Group's energy intensity and carbon footprint. Manufacturing plastics in primary forms (C.20.1.6) Classification description The activity concerns the manufacture of resins, plastic materials and non-vulcanised thermoplastic elastomers, as well as the mixing of resins to order and the manufacture of synthetic resins not covered by order. Group Description It concerns part of the Group's Home Care Solutions Products business unit.

For these acvies, the Group applies the alignment assessment methodology, which provides for: (i) substanal contribuon, (ii) do no significant harm (DNSH), (iii) compliance with minimum safeguards, and (iv) compliance with technical screening criteria. For the 2024 financial year, alignment cannot be substanated for any of the three acvies due to undocumented compliance with minimum safeguards in enes/geographies where the relevant acvies are conducted, specifically at the Group's facilies in Ukraine due to the ongoing state of war. Consequently, these acvies are disclosed as eligible but non-aligned. The Group will re-evaluate alignment in subsequent reporng periods, aiming for the comprehensive documentaon of all criteria. Human Rights (including Labour and Consumer Rights) In accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Mulnaonal Enterprises, including the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, we have implemented a robust approach to idenfy, prevent, and migate potenal and actual adverse human rights impacts. The Company’s Code of Business Ethics includes a dedicated secon on respect for human rights. Our strategy for addressing human rights violaons is based on an impact assessment covering our subsidiaries. Our procedures ensure that remediaon measures are taken immediately if a severe human rights violaon occurs, and that the necessary remedy is provided to affected individuals. The effecveness of our procedures is monitored through regular on-site and construcon site inspecons conducted by our personnel. Any individual who considers that their human rights have been violated by the Group’s acvies or by an actor within its value chain may use the Group's grievance and reporng mechanism. For the 2025 fiscal year, the Group has not been convicted of any violaons regarding labour law or human rights. An-corrupon and Bribery The fight against corrupon constutes a core component of the Group’s business strategy and Code of Conduct. To prevent and address corrupt pracces, the Group develops, where necessary and following a risk assessment, specific control measures across all its acvies to prevent and avoid acts of corrupon and bribery. In this context, the Group’s Code of Conduct includes a dedicated secon on the prevenon of corrupon and bribery, which is communicated to its employees and business partners. For the 2025 fiscal year, no grievances or incidents concerning corrupon and bribery have been reported.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 96 Taxaon Aligned with our ethical business values, tax governance and compliance are central priories.

Raising awareness of compeon law risks within business acvies is a key focus to ensure fair compeon. In 2025, the Group faced no judicial convicons for breaches of compeon law. Accounng Policy The figures presented in this report have been calculated in accordance with Internaonal Financial Reporng Standards (IFRS). Their determinaon requires the use of accounng esmates and management judgment in applying the Group’s accounng principles. Significant assumpons made by management are highlighted where relevant. The following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are presented in this report: turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx), and operang expenditure (OpEx) corresponding to the Group’s economic acvies idenfied as Taxonomy-eligible, based on the relevant NACE codes and delegated regulaons. During the fourth period of the Taxonomy framework implementaon (01/0131/12/2025), the Group reviewed its economic acvies to determine eligibility and alignment with the technical screening criteria set out in the relevant delegated regulaons for the preceding period. Key points for KPI calculaon are as follows: Taking the above into account, the following are noted: Turnover KPI: Calculated based solely on net turnover from the sale of products. The numerator includes only those acvies considered Taxonomy-aligned, provided that such revenues do not relate to the sasfacon of internal needs or intra-group sales. The denominator is the Group’s net turnover. CapEx KPI: Calculated based on capitalized costs for addions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial period under review, before depreciaon, amorzaon, and any re-measurements—including those resulng from revaluaons and impairments—for the relevant reporng period and excluding fair value changes. The numerator includes only those acvies considered Taxonomy-eligible under the Taxonomy legislaon. The denominator covers capitalized costs for addions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial period under review, before depreciaon, amorzaon, and any re-measurements, including those resulng from revaluaons and impairments, for the relevant reporng period and excluding fair value changes. OpEx KPI: Calculated based on direct non-capitalized costs related to the day-to-day maintenance of property, plant, and equipment (PPE) by the enterprise or a third party to whom acvies necessary to ensure the connued and effecve funconing of such assets are outsourced. This includes training needs and other human resources adaptaon needs, as well as direct non-capitalized costs represenng research and development (R&D). The numerator includes only those acvies considered Taxonomy-eligible under the Taxonomy legislaon. The denominator covers all direct non-capitalized costs related to the day-to-day maintenance of PPE by the enterprise or a third party to whom acvies necessary to ensure the connued and effecve funconing of such assets and acvies are outsourced, such as training and other human resources adaptaon needs, and R&D expenses. Avoidance of double counng: The Group avoided double counng during the Taxonomy compliance process through the diligent and accurate segregaon of its acvies based on producon criteria and the meculous preparaon of its financial data.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 99 Transion plan for climate change migaon (E1-1_01-16/E1/E1-1/14-17) Strategic approach and compability with the 1.5°C target The Group has developed and is implemenng a climate transion plan, aligned with the Paris Agreement and the long-term European direcon for climate neutrality by 2050. Its strategy focuses on migang climate change through a combinaon of energy efficiency, electrificaon, gradual greening of the energy mix and strengthening the resilience of its operaons. In this context, the Group implemented targeted intervenons in 2025, such as: the operaon of a 1.2 MW photovoltaic system at Polipak, with an expected annual producon of approximately 1,300 MWh and an esmated annual avoidance of approximately 840 tonnes of CO₂, the upgrade of the Stella Pack producon line with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of its operaons, the supply of 5,000 MWh of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) to cover Stella Pack's energy needs. The Group's climate targets are summarized as follows: 2 42% reducon in absolute COemissions scope 1 & 2 by 2030, with 2023 as the base year. 2 Net-zero carbon footprint across the Group's value chain by 2050 (incl. emissions of COscope 1,2 & 3). 2 The COscope 2 emissions included in the reducon targets are calculated using the market-based method, accounng for electricity supply contracts and Guarantees of Origin (GOs), in alignment with internaonally recognized carbon accounng standards. Furthermore, the Group complies with the exclusion criteria of the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks (PAB), as defined in Regulaon (EU) 2019/2089. The Group does not operate within excluded sectors, and no violaons of the UN Global Compact principles or the OECD Guidelines for Mulnaonal Enterprises have been idenfied. Regarding the Group's climate goals, submission to the Science Based Targets iniave (SBTi) is scheduled for 2026, leveraging the comprehensive preparaon conducted during the current reporng period. Selecon of the base year for greenhouse gas emissions reducon The Group has set 2023 as the base year for its inial greenhouse gas emissions reducon target for 2030, as this year is an appropriate and reliable reference point for monitoring progress. 2023 was assessed as a more appropriate base year than previous years, as it reflects more stable operang condions and provides a more representave basis for comparison for monitoring future emission reducons and the effecveness of the Group's decarbonisaon acons. Furthermore, the choice of 2023 is consistent with the relevant requirements of the reporng framework, according to which the base year for new targets cannot precede the first year of the target period by more than three years. Given that the relevant target covers the period up to 2030, 2023 falls within the permied me frame. Decarbonisaon levers and key acons The Group's key decarbonisaon lever unl 2030 is the gradual increase in the share of green electricity in its energy mix. In this context, the Group aims to have green electricity cover at least 55% of its total electricity mix by 2030. To achieve this goal, the Group priorizes the development of photovoltaic installaons, the conclusion of power purchase agreements (Power Purchase Agreements PPAs) and, where necessary, the use of Guarantees of Origin (GOs). The relevant acons are being implemented gradually at the Group's main producon units, as part of a broader plan to increase the use of electricity from renewable sources.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 100 Climate target seng process and stakeholder engagement The Group has established its climate targets based on a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, an assessment of key decarbonizaon levers, and the principles of the Science Based Targets iniave (SBTi), ensuring that the targets are appropriately formulated for external submission and validaon. In this context, the Group’s climate target of a 42% reducon in absolute CO₂ emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 2030, with 2023 as the base year, remains in force. The process was coordinated internally by the ESG Unit, with the parcipaon of relevant business funcons, to ensure consistency in data, assumpons, and the key intervenons supporng the achievement of the target. Stakeholder engagement is primarily integrated through the Double Materiality Assessment process, which evaluates the relevant impacts, risks, and opportunies associated with climate change. These inputs help inform the priorizaon of issues and guide the overall direcon of the climate plan, while internal decision-making remains responsible for determining the technical and investment measures necessary for the transion. Management of locked-in CO₂ emissions Locked-in CO₂ emissions refer to carbon dioxide emissions that are essenally "trapped" due to a company's exisng technological and producon constraints. These emissions cannot be reduced directly without significant capital investment, technological upgrades or changes in producon processes. The Group recognizes that certain CO₂ emissions, especially in scope 1, are directly related to its producon acvies and exisng infrastructure, making their reducon parcularly challenging. Investments and financing for the transion plan For a detailed presentaon of the investments and financing of the transion plan (including energy efficiency projects, RES projects and the relevant performance quanficaon), please refer to the secon European Sustainable Investment Classificaon System (EU Taxonomy). This secon summarizes the strategic direcon and its link to the Group's climate targets. Potenal risks and their management The Group recognizes that some of its acvies may be associated with emissions that cannot be reduced immediately, either due to the characteriscs of its products or due to exisng producon infrastructure (locked-in emissions). Any locked-in emissions of the Group do not affect the achievement of the 2030 climate target. Integraon of the transion plan into strategy and governance The Group's transion plan is linked to its overall business strategy and financial planning. The management and oversight of the transion plan by the Group's administrave, management and supervisory bodies, as well as its integraon into the strategic decision-making process, are described in detail in the secon "The role of the Group's administrave, management and supervisory bodies" (GOV1_01-07 / ESRS 2 / GOV1 / 21-23). Progress and implementaon of the transion plan The Group monitors the implementaon of the transion plan and progress towards achieving the relevant climate targets through its internal monitoring procedures. The progress of the implementaon of key acons and the evoluon of relevant indicators will be presented on an annual basis through the Group's Sustainability Report, as part of the regular disclosure of the progress of the transion plan's implementaon. Significant impacts, risks and opportunies and their interacon with the strategy and business model (E1.SBM- 3_01-06/E1/ E1.SBM-3/18-19) The Group recognizes that climate change creates significant risks and opportunies that can affect its operaons, strategy and compeveness. Based on the results of the Double Materiality Analysis, the Group has idenfied both physical risks and transion risks associated with the impacts of climate change and related regulatory requirements. However, the Group has not yet conducted a comprehensive resilience analysis based on the principles of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), nor has it implemented climate scenario analysis to more fully assess its resilience to climate risks and its ability to adapt to the effects of climate change.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 101 Climate risk analysis Transion risks Transion risks relate to changes in regulaons, policies and consumer preferences due to the transion to a low- carbon economy. The main risks idenfied by the Group include: Increased costs due to new regulatory requirements (e.g. EU ETS, CBAM, carbon pricing). Potenal financial penales for non-compliance with emission reducon targets. Increased energy costs due to carbon taxes and transion to renewable energy sources. Risk of losing customers and investors due to non-alignment with ESG criteria. Technological risk, as competors may move faster to adopt more sustainable soluons. Physical risks Physical risks relate to the direct impacts of climate change on the Group's acvies and supply chain. The main risks idenfied include: Supply chain disrupons due to extreme weather events that may affect the supply of raw materials and product distribuon. Increased energy costs due to higher demand for cooling or heang, depending on the geographical areas of operaon. Changes in product demand due to shiſts in consumer habits, such as increased demand for sunscreen products due to severe weather condions. E1-2 Policies on climate change migaon and adaptaon During the reporng period, the Group did not have a standalone policy exclusively addressing climate change migaon and adaptaon. Nevertheless, it has developed and implemented a climate transion plan, supported by relevant governance structures, emissions inventory, climate targets, and energy transion investments. Oversight and integraon into decision-making are presented in the secons on governance and climate change. During the reporng period, the Group did not establish a separate policy or quanfied targets specifically for climate change adaptaon. E1-3 Acons and resources related to climate change Material resources In 2025, the Group focused on acons to increase the use of green electricity and enhance the energy efficiency of its producon facilies. Specifically, it implemented the following measures: (a) operaon of a 1.2 MW photovoltaic system at Polipak, expected to produce approximately 1,300 MWh annually and avoid an esmated 840 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, (b) upgrading the Stella Pack producon line to improve operaonal energy efficiency, and (c) purchasing 5,000 MWh of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) to cover Stella Pack's energy needs. Simultaneously, the Group prepared the next phases of its plan, including further strengthening the supply of green electricity in Poland from 2026 through a combinaon of renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) and Guarantees of Origin (GOs). During the reporng period, approximately €15 million was commied to investments aimed at improving energy efficiency and supporng the Group’s gradual energy transion. Part of these expenditures relates to acvies assessed as eligible under the European Taxonomy. Progress is monitored in line with relevant disclosures, primarily through indicators related to total emissions and the energy mix. Dependence on key intangible resources The Group relies primarily on its intangible assets to create value, diversify its product porolio, and maintain compeveness in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market. In accordance with Arcle 150 of Law 4548/2018, large companies are required to disclose key intangible assets that affect their business model. For the Group, intangible assets are not merely supplementary; they are fundamental to financial performance and long-term sustainability. The Group’s reliance on intangible assets is reflected in the following areas:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 102 Intellectual Property (IP) Dependence on registered innovaons and trademarks: The Group’s diversified porolio of trademarks, including STR8, Bioten, Carroten, Orzene, and registered patents, protects product composions and ensures a sustainable compeve advantage. Without this protecon, the Group would be exposed to imitaon, risking loss of market share. Strong brand equity Dependence on consumer recognion and trust: Operang in markets where consumer trust and perceived quality drive purchasing decisions, the Group’s brands serve as benchmarks in mulple FMCG categories. Established brand equity supports pricing power and connuous product innovaon. Any decline in reputaon or recognion would directly affect sales and long-term sustainability. Customer relaons and consumer behavior data Dependence on market insights and consumer loyalty: The Group leverages consumer behavior data to tailor products and commercial strategies. Loss of access to these insights would limit responsiveness to market trends, negavely affecng sales and new product development. Organizaonal culture and human capital Dependence on experse and innovaon: Specialized human resources are a key compeve advantage. The Research & Development (R&D) team plays a pivotal role in creang innovave formulas and improved products that influence consumer trends. Aracng and retaining skilled professionals is crical, as talent loss could slow product development and reduce innovaon momentum. Technological and digital assets Dependence on automaon and digital innovaon: Proprietary digital plaorms and technological tools support internal processes and customer interacons, enabling faster distribuon, beer inventory management, and personalized service. Connuous upgrades and protecon from cyber threats and obsolescence are essenal. Business processes and know-how Dependence on opmized operaonal processes: Efficient and scalable producon processes allow the Group to maintain cost compeveness, product quality, and distribuon speed. Experse in sourcing, producon, and supply chain management is integral to the Group’s strategy, and disrupons could increase costs and reduce operaonal efficiency. E1-4 Targets related to climate change migaon and adaptaon The Group's climate targets include a 42% reducon in absolute CO₂ emissions scope 1 and 2 by 2030, with a base 2 year of 2023, as well as a zero-carbon footprint across the Group's value chain by 2050. The COemissions scope 2 included in the reducon target are calculated using the market-based method, taking into account relevant electricity supply contracts and the use of Guarantees of Origin. Energy consumpon (E1-5_01-21 & E1-6_01-35/E1/ E1-5 & E1-6/37-55) The Group systemacally monitors its energy consumpon with the aim of improving energy efficiency and gradually increasing the share of energy from renewable sources in its energy mix. In this context, it discloses its energy consumpon and the distribuon of energy sources, in accordance with the requirements of ESRS E1-5. All indicators and results presented in this chapter have not been verified or validated by an independent external body other than the assurance provider of this Report. Energy consumpon in the Group The Group's total energy footprint includes energy from renewable and non-renewable sources, as well as electricity purchases. For 2025, the Group's energy consumpon performance is presented below: Table ESRS E1-5 AR.34 MWh 2023 2024 2025 Consumpon of coal and coal products 0 0 0 Consumpon of fuel from crude oil and petroleum products 10,962 14,336 11,169 Fuel consumpon from natural gas 3,094 3,347 4,562 Fuel consumpon from other fossil sources 0 0 0 Consumpon of electricity, heat, steam and cooling purchased or obtained from fossil 26,814 64,751 47,874 sources Total energy consumpon from fossil sources 40,869 82,434 63,605 Share of fossil fuels in total energy consumpon 92.1% 96.4% 89.2% Consumpon from nuclear sources 0 0 0

This development is mainly linked to Stella Pack's lower operaonal consumpon during the reporng period, due, among other things, to producon line upgrade works. Similarly, electricity consumpon from fossil fuels decreased to 47,874 MWh in 2025, compared to 64,751 MWh in 2024, i.e. by approximately 26%. At the same me, total energy consumpon from renewable sources increased significantly to 7,675 MWh, compared to 3,119 MWh in 2024, mainly due to the purchase of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) during the reporng period. As a result, the share of renewable sources in the total energy mix increased to 10.8% in 2025, from 3.6% in 2024, while the corresponding share of fossil fuels decreased from 96.4% to 89.2%. Fossil fuel consumpon stood at 15,731 MWh in 2025, compared to 17,683 MWh in 2024, represenng a decrease of approximately 11%. At the same me, the Group's total net revenue remained essenally stable (€599.6 mil. in 2025 compared to €600.1 mil. in 2024), resulng in an improvement in the MWh total energy consumpon per € mil. of net revenue rao to 118.9, from 142.6 in 2024. This development reflects an improvement in the Group's energy intensity during the reporng period. The following table shows energy consumpon per country for 2025: 2025 Electricity consumpon (non-renewable) Electricity consumpon (renewable) Solar photovoltaic energy – Self-generated & kWh Purchased electricity consumed Poland - Polipak 25,226,880 0 Poland - Stella Pack 15,573,946 5,000,000 Greece 2,125,528 1,327,786 Ukraine 3,542,811 0 Poland 584,006 31,897 Romania 441,987 0 Czech Republic 144,151 0 Bulgaria 79,591 0 Slovakia 71,000 0 Serbia 34,895 0 North Macedonia 34,291 0 Bosnia and Herzegovina 8,200 0 Hungary 7,202 0 As part of its strategy to reduce CO₂ emissions and gradually transion to renewable energy sources, the Group has incorporated self-generated electricity through photovoltaic installaons at selected units. Specifically, in 2025, self- generated and consumed solar energy in Greece amounted to 1,327,786 kWh, covering approximately 39% of the total electricity consumpon of the facilies in the country. In addion, limited self-producon was recorded in Poland (31,897 kWh), while in other countries electricity consumpon was covered through purchases from the grid. E1-6 - Gross emissions from scopes 1, 2, 3 and total greenhouse gas emissions Greenhouse gas emissions calculaon methodology The Group applies the operaonal control approach to quanfy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to this approach, the reported emissions include the parent company and all its subsidiaries over which the Group exercises operaonal control.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 104 The methodology for calculang emissions is based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounng and Reporng Standard and ISO 14064:2018, ensuring alignment with internaonally recognized pracces for emissions inventory development and reporng. Emission factors were selected from recognized internaonal and naonal sources, depending on their availability and suitability for each emissions category and the countries in which the Group operates. Emission factors were sourced from organizaons such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Internaonal Energy Agency (IEA), as well as Naonal Inventory Reports (NIRs) for the countries where the Group operates. For Greece, where relevant, available naonal data were also used, including data published by DAPEEP for 2024. Scope 3 CO₂ emissions were first measured in 2023, with the ongoing objecve of improving data quality and ensuring full alignment with the GHG Protocol. Since then, the Group has adopted a structured approach that leverages reliable databases, verified emission factors and secondary data sources. The Scope 3 inventory covers both upstream and downstream value chain acvies, including transportaon, the use of sold products and their end-of-life treatment. Emissions are esmated using dedicated models and internaonally recognized databases such as EXIOBASE, DEFRA, Ecoinvent and Climaq. The Group monitors and discloses its carbon footprint across all three scopes (scopes 1, 2, and 3). In 2025, biogenic 2 COemissions from biomass combuson, specifically wood and sunflower husks, amounted to 490 tonnes. In 2 accordance with the GHG Protocol, COemissions from biomass combuson are disclosed separately from scope 1, 4 22, and 3 emissions, whereas CHand NO emissions resulng from combuson are included in the respecve emission 2 scopes and are accounted for within the COequivalent (CO2eq.) emissions, depending on their source. During the reporng period, no Group facilies are subject to a regulated emissions trading scheme (e.g., EU ETS).

The above tables show that 2025 was a year of significant progress for the Group's decarbonisaon efforts, with a notable reducon in total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specifically, CO₂ emissions for scopes 1 and 2 amounted to 39,569.8 tonnes of CO₂eq, represenng a 23.5% decrease compared to 2024 (51,733.6 tonnes of CO₂eq). This improvement is directly linked to strategic and operaonal intervenons at Stella Pack’s facilies, parcularly: Equipment upgrade and temporary shutdown: The upgrade of Stella Pack's producon line required a producon downme of 34 months, which naturally reduced energy consumpon and direct emissions. Green energy supply: The targeted purchase of 5,000 MWh of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) exclusively for Stella Pack's facilies significantly reduced indirect emissions from electricity consumpon (scope 2). To provide a transparent view of the Group’s actual climate performance, excluding the impact of temporary operaonal suspension, if Stella Pack had operated at full capacity throughout 2025, the esmated reducon in scopes 1 and 2 emissions would have been approximately 11.5%, with total emissions around 46,000 tonnes of CO₂eq, instead of the recorded 39,569.8 tonnes. Even with this adjusted figure, the 11.5% reducon confirms that the Group is on track to achieve its central climate target: a 42% reducon in absolute CO₂ emissions for scopes 1 and 2 by 2030, with 2023 as the base year. The successful integraon of Stella Pack’s increased energy requirements following its acquision in 2024, and the immediate reversal of the upward trend in 2025, demonstrate both the resilience of the transion plan and the Group’s ability to align with scienfic decarbonisaon standards. In 2025, the Group’s scope 3 emissions remained at levels comparable to 2024, reflecng consistent net sales. The main contributors to the total scope 3 footprint connued to be the purchase of goods and services and the use of 2 manufactured products. The Group focuses the quanficaon of scope 3 COemissions on the categories that, due to the nature of its acvies and its value chain, are expected to have the most significant contribuon to the total footprint. Other categories marked with a “-” are not considered material to the Group’s total footprint during the reporng period and, therefore, are not presented quantavely.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 106 Carbon intensity indicators improved across all emission categories, reflecng the effecveness of decarbonisaon measures and the stabilizaon of total sales (€599.6 million in 2025 vs. €600.1 million in 2024): CO₂ scope 1 emissions per € million of sales decreased from 7.3 to 6.3 tonnes, mainly due to reduced fuel consumpon in transport. CO₂ scope 2 emissions per € million of sales fell from 78.9 to 59.6 tonnes, reflecng the impact of green energy procurement and technological upgrades at Stella Pack. CO₂ scope 3 emissions per € million of sales improved from 1,168.6 to 1,041.4 tonnes. These results highlight the Group’s progress in operaonal decarbonisaon and its connued commitment to achieving its climate targets. Greenhouse gas removals and greenhouse gas migaon projects financed through carbon credits (E1-7_01- 25/E1/E1-7/56-61) As part of its climate change migaon strategy, the Group focuses primarily on reducing direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its value chain. The Group has not currently developed any CO₂ absorpon CO₂ programs for its internal acvies, nor has it made any direct investments in removal from the atmosphere. However, the Group recognizes the role of carbon credits as a potenal tool for managing its residual emissions as part of its long-term strategy for climate neutrality by 2050. Internal carbon pricing (E1-8_01-09/E1/E1-8/63) The Group does not currently apply internal carbon pricing schemes. However, recognizing the importance of incorporang environmental parameters into the decision-making process, it is considering the possibility of introducing such a mechanism in the coming years. The implementaon of an internal carbon pricing scheme could contribute to the formulaon of more effecve strategies for reducing emissions, achieving the Group's climate targets and strengthening its resilience to future regulatory requirements and carbon markets. Transion event idenficaon process and exposure & sensivity assessment of acvies (ESRS E1 – AR.12) Relevant informaon on transion events related to climate change is covered during the reporng period through the Double Materiality Assessment and disclosures in secon E1-1. The Group has not yet developed a separate, systemac assessment methodology in accordance with ESRS E1 AR12, nor has it carried out a separate analysis of sensivity of assets and acvies. Therefore, this disclosure is limited to transion issues that have already been idenfied through the Double Materiality Assessment and monitoring relevant regulatory developments. 2.13.2.3 ESRS E2 Polluon Process for idenfying and assessing the significant impacts, risks and opportunies associated with polluon (E2.IRO-1_01-03/Ε2/ E2.IRO-1/11) The process of idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to polluon is presented in detail in the Sustainability Report (secon "Descripon of the process of idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies"). The Double Materiality Assessment idenfied the use of microplascs by the Group for the producon of specific end products as a significant negave impact. During the reporng year, the Group did not conduct any independent, direct consultaon exclusively with affected communies on polluon issues. Results of the Double Materiality Assessment related to polluon The idenficaon process resulted in the following:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 107
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 108 Based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, the Group is proceeding with targeted disclosures on significant polluon issues, with a primary focus on microplascs, which were assessed as a high-materiality topic in terms of negave impacts. In this context, the Group applies a prevenve control and management approach, with the aim of ensuring that its products comply, by category and market, with the applicable regulatory, quality and environmental requirements, parcularly in terms of composion, safety of use and labelling. This approach enhances operaonal readiness, reduces the risk of non-compliance and supports the markeng of safe and regulatory-compliant products. Management approach and strategy The Group applies a systemac approach to managing polluon-related impacts, with an emphasis on prevenon, compliance and the gradual improvement of its products and processes. In this context, the following key mechanisms have been put in place: Internal quality and regulatory controls at all stages of the product life cycle, with the aim of prevenng the release of non-compliant or potenally harmful products on the market. Targeted iniaves to reduce microplascs by redesigning composions, evaluang alternave materials and adapng technical specificaons where technically and regulatory feasible. Connuous monitoring of the regulatory framework (parcularly on microplascs) to ensure mely adaptaon of products and processes to new compliance requirements. Group policies for managing the impact of polluon (E2-1_01-03/E2/ E2-1/15) During the 2025 reporng period, the Group does not have a separate policy exclusively for microplascs. The approach to prevenng and liming the impact of polluon is part of the "Environmental Responsibility" of the Code of Ethics and Conduct (Annex II), which describes the Group's strategic priories. This approach ensures that the protecon of ecosystems from polluon is organically integrated into its fundamental principles of business ethics and governance. Content and objecves In parcular, the Code describes the Group's strategic priories for: (a) sustainable and circular sourcing of raw materials and packaging materials, (b) minimizing packaging and adopng circularity pracces in waste management, (c) investment in Research and Development for innovave and sustainable products, and (d) monitoring environmental risks that may arise from exisng and future products. Scope and responsibility The policy applies to all Group acvies and all geographical areas of operaon, covering both proprietary producon units and the upstream value chain, including raw material supply. The highest level of organizaonal responsibility for the implementaon and supervision of the policy rests with the Group's Executive Committee. Stakeholders and transparency In defining the priories of this policy, the Group aims to idenfy and document the expectaons and requests of stakeholder groups through mulple communicaon channels and construcve dialogue. Maintaining more than one channel ensures that requests and suggesons for improvement are systemacally received and fosters relaonships of mutual trust. These principles are reflected in the Code of Ethics and Conduct (secons 5.5 "Relaons with stakeholders" and 5.6 "Communicaon and promoon"), which is applied by all Group members and direct associates and is available on the Group's website: https://www.sarantisgroup.com/media/2ljnucmz/f_sarantis_code_of_conduct_cleaned.pdf Prevenon of polluon incidents and emergency management The Group has developed risk management mechanisms and procedures for dealing with environmental incidents, with the aim of minimizing their impact. The Group's producon units are cerfied to internaonal environmental
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 109 and quality management standards, such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, ensuring that connuous controls and prevenve measures are in place for the effecve management of environmental risks. To strengthen prevenve management, the Group has established product recall and withdrawal procedures and conducts annual simulaon tests to assess the effecveness of its response measures. Through these iniaves, the Group ensures that its business operaons remain responsible and sustainable, minimising environmental risks and enhancing safety throughout its enre producon acvity. Management of microplascs in the Group's value chain (E2-2_02/E2/E2-2/AR-13) As part of its commitment to sustainable development and responsible management of its environmental impact, the Group recognizes the importance of controlling microplascs in its products, not only in its direct acvies but throughout its value chain. Although microplascs have been idenfied by the Group as an issue with a high impact on the environment and humans, they do not pose financial risks to the Group that can be considered high impact in the medium and long term. The Group has not incurred any significant operang expenses (OpEx) and/or capital expenditures (CapEx) for the implementaon of microplascs management acons during the 2025 reporng period. The resources allocated to date mainly concern analyses, laboratory tests and technical assessments for the search for alternave soluons and amounted to an insignificant level for the Group (less than €20 thous.). Therefore, there is no acon plan that depends on specific financial instruments (e.g. green loans/bonds), nor have any specific future financial resources. In terms of assessing the significance of expenses, the Group uses as a benchmark the financial significance threshold used in the financial significance process for 2025 (€5.41 mil.). Based on the available data and the current maturity of the acons, the relevant expenses for microplascs are not expected to create financial risks or impacts that exceed this threshold in the medium and long term. In cases of indicaon or suspicion of potenal microplasc polluon, a structured management process is applied, which includes: (a) idenficaon and recording of the indicaon/report, (b) inial assessment to determine severity and possible extent, (c) immediate migaon acons, where necessary, (d) invesgaon and, if the incident is confirmed, preparaon and implementaon of a correcve and prevenve acon plan, and (e) monitoring of effecveness and reporng to the relevant governance bodies. Acons in the Group's direct operaons The removal of microplascs from specific Group products is a legal requirement, with deadlines of 2027 for rinse-off products and 2029 for leave-on products. Recognizing the importance of this change, the Group's Research & Development department has been working proacvely over the last three years to develop alternave soluons, ensuring mely compliance with regulatory standards. The Group has already idenfied and adopted soluons that reduce or eliminate the use of microplascs in its rinse- off products. Specifically, the opacifier used in certain formulaons to achieve the creamy appearance of cleansing products has been replaced with two alternave ingredients of high naturalness. The first successful example is Noxzema Fresh Blossom (pilot producon on an industrial scale), where the new formula maintains the same creamy appearance and fully complies with current regulatory requirements. The transion to the new formulas involves a total of 36 basic composions (body and hand cleansers) and approximately 77 final products, which adds complexity to the change process. As a result, the new formulaons will be implemented gradually as exisng stocks of raw materials and packaging materials are depleted. New producon is scheduled to start gradually from the end of Q2 2026. This iniave reinforces the Group's commitment to more sustainable products, reducing the environmental footprint of everyday cleaning products and promong the use of ingredients of high natural origin. For non-rinse-off products, and in parcular sunscreens, the Group has completed a detailed technical and regulatory assessment of exisng formulaons in relaon to the European restricon on intenonally added microplascs. The assessment showed that the polymers used do not funcon as free solid microparcles, but as film formers and, in some cases, as SPF boosters. When incorporated into the formula, they form a cohesive film on the skin surface
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 110 and do not exhibit the behavior of discrete parcles. Based on the available scienfic data and current regulatory interpretaon, these specific uses have been assessed as covered by a regulatory derogaon and/or possibly outside the scope of the ban on leave-on products. At the same me, naturally sourced wax polymers have been tested as an alternave for waterproofing, but this effort has not yielded the desired results. The Group connues to acvely research and develop new soluons, in collaboraon with leading raw material suppliers such as Ashland and Evonik, with the aim of developing safe and environmentally sustainable methods of waterproofing its products. The Group monitors regulatory developments and keeps alternave technologies under review to ensure full compliance of its products, if required. Upstream value chain acons The Group works closely with its suppliers of raw materials and packaging materials to promote compliance with stringent environmental standards. Key acons include: Strict raw material specificaons: The Group promotes the use of materials designed to reduce microplasc content, taking advantage of available technical alternaves and soluons. Supplier assessment: Compliance of raw material and packaging suppliers is systemacally monitored through the review of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), technical specificaons and Cerficates of Analysis (CoA). Assessments are conducted during the inial supplier approval process, whenever specificaons are modified, and through periodic reviews. In parallel, the Research and Development (R&D) Department collaborates with suppliers to idenfy and develop alternave soluons that reduce or replace microplascs. All relevant documentaon is maintained in the technical evaluaon and supplier approval files. Research and development: The Group’s R&D Unit operates as an internal funcon; however, its acvies also extend to the upstream value chain, as it defines the technical specificaons and criteria for the selecon of raw materials supplied to the Group. In collaboraon with external laboratories and specialized organizaons, where necessary, the Unit evaluates and tests alternave substances intended to replace microplascs and translates the results into specific requirements for suppliers (e.g. composion, performance and regulatory compliance). Through this process, the Unit supports the adaptaon of supplied materials to evolving regulatory and environmental requirements, while ensuring that the safety, quality and effecveness of the Group’s final products are maintained. Downstream value chain acons The Group implements measures to address the management of microplascs following the use of its products, with a focus on responsible packaging and transparent product labelling. Clear instrucons are provided to consumers regarding proper disposal and recycling pracces, contribung to the reducon of microplasc leakage into the environment. At the same me, the Group strengthens its commitment to addressing microplasc polluon through strategic partnerships with specialized bodies and industry organizaons. As part of this approach, it parcipates in iniaves and networks such as Cosmecs Europe, PACDI, Rucodem and Plascs Recyclers Europe (PRE). Through these collaboraons, the Group promotes the exchange of know-how, supports the development of soluons for the effecve management of microplascs and contributes to the advancement of sustainable alternave pracces, as outlined in the Group’s broader acons on microplascs. These synergies further strengthen the Group’s posion in the market as a responsible producer and support its contribuon to addressing the environmental challenges associated with microplascs. Microplascs usage data and reducon targets During the 2025 reporng period, the total consumpon of microplascs used in the producon of the Group’s finished products amounted to 49,910 kg, compared to 47,920 kg in 2024, represenng a marginal increase of 1,990 kg (+4.2%). This variaon is considered limited and is mainly associated with changes in the producon and sales mix, as well as the ming of product reformulaon iniaves. It does not affect the Group’s strategic direcon, which remains focused on the gradual reducon of microplascs by 2027 and their complete eliminaon from relevant products by 2029, in line with evolving regulatory requirements. The calculaon of the microplascs consumpon index has not been validated by an independent external body other than the provider responsible for the assurance of the report.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 111 Methodology for measuring and monitoring the use of microplascs To monitor and report on the use of microplascs in its products, the Group has adopted a structured calculaon methodology based on specific producon and product composion data. The process includes: o Idenficaon of products containing microplascs, based on their composion. o Determining the quanes of microplascs contained in each product, in accordance with the approved composions and raw material specificaons. o Calculaon of total microplasc consumpon, considering the producon volumes of the relevant products during the reporng period. Data is collected and verified in collaboraon with the Research & Development (R&D) unit, ensuring the accuracy of reports and compliance with regulatory requirements. Potenal financial effects from risks and opportunies related to microplascs (E2-6_01-10/E2/E2-6/39-41) Based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment 2025, the topic of polluon, including the management of microplascs, was not idenfied as a source of material financial risks or opportunies for the Group. Consequently, the materiality threshold for disclosing potenal financial effects in this report, as required by the ESRS E2 standard, has not been met. The Group remains commied to the connuous monitoring of the regulatory framework and operaonal condions to reassess the materiality of relevant risks and opportunies in future reporng periods. 2.13.2.4 ESRS E5 Resource use and circular economy Descripon of procedures for idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to resource use and the circular economy (E5.IRO-1_01-02/E5/ E5.IRO-1/11) The process for idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to the circular economy is presented in the Sustainability Report (secon " Descripon of the process for idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies"). The Double Materiality Assessment idenfied resource inputs, including resource use, resource outputs linked to products and services, and waste management as material topics. Results of the Double Materiality Assessment related to the topic of resource use and circular economy The idenficaon process resulted in the following:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 112 Based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, the Group is proceeding with disclosures that focus on high-impact issues related to resource use and the circular economy. In parcular, priority is given to resource management and consumpon, and waste producon and disposal, which were idenfied as the most significant issues in terms of impact, due to their direct link to the Group's operaons, producon process and product porolio. The Group incorporates control procedures that ensure that its products and operaons meet high quality and environmental standards. In this context, it strengthens the sustainable management of raw materials and waste and promotes product circularity. Management approach and circular economy strategy The Group applies a circular economy approach with the aim of opmising the use of raw materials, reducing waste and enhancing the circularity of products and packaging. The main pillars are: o Circular management of materials at the plants: recycling, reuse and, where possible, internal reprocessing of producon residues to reduce raw material waste and waste. In Poland (Polipak and Stella Pack), recycled plasc is used to manufacture products such as garbage bags.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 113 o Producon and quality opmizaon: process improvements and quality controls for more efficient use of raw materials and reducon of waste, as well as reprocessing of non-conforming products where permied by quality procedures. o Product/packaging design: incorporang recyclability principles into packaging design and materials. o Consumer informaon: clear labelling and instrucons for proper disposal/recycling, where applicable. Policies for sustainable resource management and transion to secondary raw materials (E5-1_01/E5/E5-1/15) The Group's policy on resource use, waste and the promoon of the circular economy is incorporated into the broader framework of "Environmental Responsibility" of the Code of Ethics and Conduct. This framework sets out as strategic priories the sustainable and circular sourcing of raw materials and packaging materials, the minimizaon of packaging and the adopon of circularity pracces in waste management and investment in research and development for more sustainable products. In relaon to the waste management hierarchy, the Group priorizes the prevenon and reducon of waste and packaging, followed by recycling/recovery through organized waste management. At the same me, circular economy acons are implemented with an emphasis on packaging reuse, recycling and other forms of packaging waste recovery, as part of the connuous improvement of resource efficiency and the Group's overall environmental performance. Acons and resources related to resource use and the circular economy (E5-2_01-06/E5/E5-2/20) As part of its environmental responsibility and its transion towards a more circular operang model, the Group implements targeted iniaves and allocates the necessary resources to opmize the use of materials and enhance the sustainability of its products. These iniaves focus on raw materials and product formulaons, as well as on collaboraon with suppliers and the selecon of materials with an improved environmental profile. The Group’s approach focuses parcularly on the Personal Care and Home Care Soluons product categories, including the gradual removal of petrochemical ingredients and the adopon of nature-derived ingredients, eco-balanced UV filters and natural extracts. At the same me, where operaonally feasible, the Group implements responsible sourcing procedures for raw materials, incorporang supplier compliance and documentaon requirements. Where relevant, suppliers may be requested, on a case-by-case basis, to provide compliance data and/or cerficaons related to internaonal standards and regulatory frameworks, such as Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), REACH Regulaon, and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). At Group level, the aggregated quanficaon of the total resources allocated to iniaves related to resource use and the circular economy, in accordance with internaonal sustainability reporng standards, has not yet been fully completed. However, indicavely, in 2025 investments in Stella Pack (Poland) amounted to €15.0 million and primarily concerned the installaon of a regranulaon system supporng recycling iniaves and the further integraon of circular economy pracces. The Group has recognized the need for a more comprehensive and systemac tracking of these resources at Group level and has iniated the development of a centralized recording process, with the aim of compleng the quanficaon by 2026. One of the Group’s key iniaves involves the transion from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high- density polyethylene) boles to doypacks (Figure E5.1), which has resulted in an approximately 80% reducon in plasc use. This change significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with packaging. In parallel, the Group is replacing rigid plasc packaging for shampoos and shower gels, transioning from polyethylene (PE) to PET, a material that enhances recyclability.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 114 Image E5.1: Transion from PET and HDPE boles to Doypack packaging. The Group is also progressively replacing PVC in the packaging of Home Care Soluons products and using 100% biodegradable and FSC-cerfied viscose in wet wipes. Through strict sourcing criteria, it ensures that raw materials originate from renewable and sustainable sources, incorporang natural and biodegradable ingredients into products such as Luksja, Orzene and Noxzema. In addion, the Group implements a comprehensive waste management strategy aimed at promong the recycling and reuse of materials. Through the regranulaon lines of Polipak and Stella Pack, the Group produces plasc waste bags using post-consumer recycled (PCR) plasc. The use of 100% recycled plasc in products such as Green Life and Flex garbage bags contributes to the conservaon of raw materials and the reducon of the environmental footprint. In the previous year, the Group laid the foundaons for the eco-friendly redesign of packaging, with the packaging of STR8 Eau de Toilee and STR8 Natural Spray products represenng a characterisc example. The transion from the previous hinged design to a simplified hinge-free version significantly improved the separability of materials and, consequently, their recyclability. This iniave resulted in a reducon of 108 tonnes of metal, while maintaining the funconality and commercial identy of the packaging. During the same period, addional benefits were achieved through a reducon in paper consumpon following changes to transport packaging specificaons, inially implemented at producon facilies in Greece and planned to be extended to addional units. In 2025, the Group accelerated its acons across key packaging circularity areas. In parcular, projects were completed that resulted in a reducon of approximately 110 tonnes of plasc per year, primarily through the redesign of the STR8 Shower Gel and BU Body Mist product ranges, as well as the transion of selected Ava labels from plasc to paper. Furthermore, through targeted intervenons in material composion and recyclability, 384 tonnes of materials previously considered non-recyclable became recyclable. Of this total, 374 tonnes resulted from replacing carbon- based masterbatch with near-infrared (NIR) detectable masterbatch in STR8 Shower Gel and Bioten Detox boles, enabling effecve idenficaon by recycling plant sorng systems. The remaining 10 tonnes resulted from replacing silicone-based release paper with PET release paper in selected labels. At the same me, by opmizing the specificaons of shipper cartons for products manufactured in Greece, the Group achieved a reducon in paper consumpon of approximately 211 tonnes per year.

This is mainly due to (i) the diversity of the Group's product porolio and packaging categories, (ii) the different operaonal and regulatory requirements per country/market, and (iii) the need for further consolidaon of relevant data and measurement methodologies (e.g. by material, product category and value chain stage) in order for a single target to be comparable, realisc and verifiable. Despite the absence of a central target, the Group implements targeted acons on an annual basis to reduce resource use and enhance circularity, as described in E5-2.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 116 ESRS E5-4 (para. 31) – Resource inputs: total material weight, sustainable biological materials and secondary inputs In accordance with ESRS E5-4 (para. 31), the Group discloses, for the reporting period and to the extent that the relevant data are available, key information on the resource inputs used in the production of products and packaging. This disclosure is based on the available data from the Stella Pack, Polipak and Oinofyta production units, while the production unit in Ukraine is not included. ESRS requirement E5-4 (para.

Waste disposal results The following table presents the Group's overall results in terms of waste production and management for the three-year period 20232025. The data reflect the quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, as well as their distribution by basic management method (e.g. reuse, recycling, other recovery operations, incineration and landfill), in accordance with the procedures in force at each unit and in cooperation with licensed waste management operators. Group waste data 2023 2024 2025 Units: tonnes unless another unit of measurement is specified Total quantity of hazardous waste produced 19.1 25.4 28.8 Total quantity of non-hazardous waste produced 1,790.4 8,071.0 9,443.2 Total amount of radioactive waste produced 0.0 0.0 0.0 Total amount of non-recycled waste 361.7 6,356.8 7,575.5 Percentage of non-recycled waste in the Group's total waste 20.0% 78.5% 80.0% Hazardous waste for incineration 0.0 0.0 0.0 Hazardous waste for sanitary landfill 0.0 0.4 0.1 Hazardous waste for other disposal operations 14.4 16.9 16.8 Non-hazardous waste for incineration 4,4 3,7 8.3
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 117 Non-hazardous waste for sanitary landfill 324.6 401.0 688.4 Non-hazardous waste for other disposal operations 0.0 0.0 0.0 Hazardous waste for reuse 0.0 2.0 0.0 Hazardous waste for recycling 1.4 1.1 4.3 Hazardous waste for other recovery operations 3.3 5.0 7.7 Non-hazardous waste for reuse 375.9 397.6 338.0 Non-hazardous waste for recycling 1,070.6 1,338.9 1,554.3 Non-hazardous waste for other recovery operations 15.0 5,929.8 6,854.2 It should be noted that the significant change in the Group's waste profile in 2024 (which is maintained in 2025) compared to 2023 is not only related to a change in operating activity but is also significantly influenced by the integration of Stella Pack, which was completed by the Group in 2024. This development resulted in a significant increase mainly in non-hazardous waste and streams managed through other recovery operations, changing the overall picture of quantities and distribution by management method. For 2025, the Group's total waste production amounted to 9,472.0 tonnes, compared to 8,096.4 tonnes in 2024, representing an increase of 1,375.6 tonnes or 17.0%. This change was mainly due to the increase in non-hazardous waste, which amounted to 9,443.2 tonnes in 2025, compared to 8,071.0 tonnes in 2024, while hazardous waste increased from 25.4 to 28.8 tonnes. In terms of management methods, in 2025 the largest quantity of non-hazardous waste was sent for other recovery operations (6,854.2 tonnes), followed by recycling (1,554.3 tonnes) and reuse (338.0 tonnes). Similarly, of the non- hazardous waste, 688.4 tonnes were sent to landfill and 8.3 tonnes to incineration. For hazardous waste, the main management methods were other recovery operations (7.7 tonnes), recycling (4.3 tonnes) and other disposal operations (16.8 tonnes), while landfill remained at a very low level (0.1 tonnes). The waste intensity indicator (tonnes of waste per € mil. of Group sales) is presented below for the last three years: 2023 2024 2025 Total waste (tonnes) 1,809.6 8,096.4 9,472.0 € mil. in Group net sales 482.2 600.1 599.6 Waste intensity index (tonnes of waste / € mil. In 3.75 13.49 15.80 net sales) Based on the table, the Group shows a significant increase in total waste from 2024 compared to 2023, which is mainly attributed to the acquisition and integration of Stella Pack, an activity with increased volumes of materials and corresponding waste streams. This increase is also reflected in the waste intensity index, which rose from 3.75 to 13.49 t/€ mil. in sales during the corresponding period. In 2025, total waste increased to 9,472.0 tonnes, while sales remained essentially stable (€599.6 mil.), resulting in an intensity index of 15.80 t waste/€ mil. The maintenance of intensity at high levels is mainly linked to the continued contribution of Stella Pack. Methodology for collecng and calculang waste data Waste data is collected and calculated according to the following procedure. Specifically: o Data collecon: Each producon unit and country where the Group operates completes a standard file with data on the waste produced (hazardous and non-hazardous), as well as the waste that is diverted or sent for disposal. These files include actual data from producon systems and reports from waste management service providers. o Data consolidaon: Data is collected and consolidated centrally. No complex calculaons or esmates are made, as the data is based solely on informaon provided by the producon units.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 118 o Assumpons/Esmates: No significant assumpons or esmates are applied, as the data are actual and come directly from producon units. o For the 2025 reporng period, the data on resource inputs/outputs and waste have not been validated by an external body other than the assurance provider. ESRS E5-5 – Resource outputs: final products and circularity (selected available data) In accordance with ESRS E5-5, the Group seeks to disclose informaon on the circularity and characteriscs of its end products, to the extent that the relevant data is available. During the reporng period, the available and verifiable data at the end-product level comes from selected producon units. In parcular, for the Polipak producon unit (producon of waste bags), producon of 26,121 tonnes was recorded, of which 19,573 tonnes were products with recycled content, corresponding to approximately 75% of the unit's total producon volume. For reasons of methodological clarity, it should be noted that part of the above informaon is monitored internally and at the intermediate product stage prior to final labelling and packaging. Therefore, these quanes are not interpreted cumulavely between intermediate and final stages to avoid double counng. The Group is in the process of evaluang the required data flows and adjustments to its informaon systems so that by 2026, more complete informaon will be available at the level of final products, per unit and product category, in order to fully meet the relevant ESRS E5-5 disclosure requirements. Financial implicaons of risks and opportunies related to resource use and the circular economy (E5-6_01/E5/E5- 6/43) Based on the results of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, the topics of resource use, packaging circularity and waste management are associated with potentially significant economic impacts for the Group. The Group’s financial materiality threshold for 2025 (€5.41 million) was used as a benchmark exclusively for ranking purposes (see section “Description of the process for identifying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunities”). The financial assessment of the identified risks and opportunities was conducted on a qualitative basis, and no full quantitative valuation was performed for each individual risk or opportunity. The prioritization was based on an evaluation of the potential magnitude of impact and the likelihood of occurrence, which were classified into three levels of significance: high, medium and low. The main potential negative financial impacts identified include: o increased procurement costs, particularly for certified or recycled raw materials, o increased compliance and adaptation costs related to circularity and waste management requirements (e.g. packaging and waste regulatory frameworks), o potential loss of access to certain markets or distribution networks where technical recyclability criteria are not met. The main potential positive economic impacts include: o cost savings resulting from waste prevention, material optimization and the use of secondary raw materials, o strengthening of the Group’s market position through improved packaging recyclability and alignment with circular economy requirements.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 119 2.13.3 Social 2.13.3.1 ESRS S1 Own workforce Analysis of material impacts, risks and opportunies related to the Group's own workforce (S1.SBM-3_01- 12/S1/S1.SBM-3/14-16) The process for idenfying and assessing significant impacts and risks related to the Group’s workforce is described in the Sustainability Report (see secon “Descripon of the process for idenfying and assessing significant impacts, risks and opportunies”). The scope of these disclosures covers all workers potenally affected by the Group’s acvies, including: (a) the Group’s own workforce (employees and execuves), and (b) non-employee workers providing services within the Group’s premises or operaons, such as individuals supplied by third-party employment agencies, contractors, or self-employed associates, where applicable. Based on the Group’s materiality assessment, significant impacts relate to both categories of workers, parcularly those performing work within the Group’s operaons and facilies. These impacts concern maers such as working condions, occupaonal health and safety, equal opportunies, non-discriminaon, and protecon from violence and harassment. In 2025, the Double Materiality Assessment included the parcipaon of 53 internal stakeholders represenng key funcons and management levels across the Group to evaluate impacts and risks related to the workforce. The assessment idenfied several material topics, including occupaonal health and safety, secure employment, gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value, worklife balance, training and skills development, privacy protecon, and prevenon of violence and harassment in the workplace. Negave impacts are generally linked to operaonal exposure arising from individual incidents, such as occupaonal accidents, harassment cases, or data breaches, and are addressed through relevant policies, reporng and invesgaon procedures, and correcve acons. Posive impacts include iniaves that enhance skills development and improve the employee experience, such as training programs, development iniaves, and employee feedback mechanisms, which primarily concern the Group’s full-me and part-me employees. The Group also evaluates whether certain categories of workers may be exposed to heightened risks due to the nature of their dues or working environment. Examples include: (a) employees in roles with increased operaonal risks, such as producon, warehouse, or technical funcons, regarding occupaonal health and safety; (b) employees with direct access to sensive personal data, such as HR or IT personnel, regarding privacy protecon; and (c) non- employee workers operang within Group premises, parcularly concerning compliance with safe working condions. Significant operaonal riskssuch as business interrupon, regulatory sancons or fines, compensaon claims, and reputaonal damageare mainly associated with serious health and safety incidents or data protecon and security breaches, and may affect specific employee groups depending on the nature of the risk. Based on these findings, the Group integrates the management of significant workforce-related impacts and risks into its overall strategy and business model, aiming to ensure a safe, fair, and supporve working environment. Results of the Double Materiality Assessment related to the topic of own workforce The idenficaon process resulted in the following:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 120
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 121 Linking impacts to strategy and business model The impacts on the Group’s own workforce are directly linked to the Group’s strategy and the effective implementation of its business model, as they influence business continuity, operational quality and efficiency, talent attraction and retention, and corporate reputation. The main impacts include: o Secure jobs: The Group seeks to create a working environment that fosters commitment and performance through practices supporting stability, clarity of roles, and consistent communication during periods of organizational change, which are essential for smooth business operations. o Health and safety at work: Protecting employee health and safety is a key operational priority, contributing to business continuity, reducing incidents and downtime, and promoting a safety culture across all facilities and operations. o Gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value: Ensuring equality and fair treatment is vital for attracting and retaining a skilled workforce, strengthening corporate culture, and minimizing the risk of discrimination or inappropriate workplace behavior. o Worklife balance: Supporting worklife balance helps maintain employee engagement, well-being, and productivity, enhancing the Group’s long-term resilience as an employer. o Privacy: Proper management of personal data, including payroll, health, and HR information, is critical for compliance and trust, directly affecting the Group’s credibility and mitigating regulatory and financial risks. o Training and skills development: Systematic skills developmentcovering technical, digital, and leadership competencies—supports operational efficiency, workplace safety, adaptation to new systems and technologies, and long-term competitiveness. o Prevention of violence and harassment in the workplace: Preventing and managing such incidents is essential for a safe working environment and is directly linked to employee engagement, retention, and the mitigation of legal and reputational risks. Significant risk analysis As part of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment process, the Group idenfied occupaonal health and safety as a significant risk for its workforce, due to the inherent risks associated with producon and supply chain acvies (e.g. use of machinery, transport/liſting equipment, storage and manual handling). A serious incident and/or inadequate prevenon can cause direct and indirect costs, such as interrupon or slowdown of operaons, loss of producvity, compensaon/legal claims, potenal regulatory penales, and negave impacts on the Group's reputaon. Policy management and implementaon The Group implements a comprehensive framework of policies and procedures designed to ensure fair treatment and respect for employee rights, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and internaonally recognized standards. This framework is reinforced by compliance and control mechanisms aimed at prevenng and addressing incidents related to discriminaon, harassment, or other unacceptable behavior, as well as ensuring proper pracces in labor relaons and working me management. Policies relang to the own workforce (S1-1_01-13/S1/S1-1/19-24) The Group implements a coherent framework of policies and internal regulaons to manage the significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to its workforce. The core of the framework includes the Code of Ethics and Conduct, as well as specialized policies and procedures, such as the Health & Safety Policy, the Talent Aracon Policy, the Remote Working Policy, and relevant flexible working arrangements, where these are compable with the nature of the role and the operaonal needs of the Group (Annex II). During the reporng period, the framework was further strengthened by the adopon of a policy on salary advances (where applicable), with a clear and transparent framework of terms, procedures and confidenality. Scope of applicaon (ESRS 2 MDR-P) The policies are implemented at Group level and cover the enre workforce, including employees and non-employee workers, across all countries of operaon. Where relevant, certain requirements are also applied to non-employee workers present on Group premises (e.g., health and safety requirements for contractors or visitors). Any variaons or limitaons in applicaon occur only when objecvely necessary due to the nature of the role or local operaonal and legal requirements.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 122 When designing or updang these policies, input from the Group’s relevant internal funcons is considered, along with issues raised through the available feedback and consultaon channels. Policies are communicated and made accessible to those responsible for their implementaon via the Group’s internal corporate channels. Where appropriate, policies are also shared with potenally affected stakeholders through the Group’s website. Human rights, equal treatment and professional conduct The Group is commied to respecng human rights and labor freedoms and incorporates relevant principles into its Code of Ethics and Conduct, which provides for zero tolerance of discriminaon, harassment and pracces that violate the fundamental principles of dignity and equal opportunies. Internaonal guidelines and best pracces (e.g. UN Global Compact, OECD/UN guidelines and ILO principles) are considered in the design and implementaon of the policy framework, as well as the applicable requirements in each country. Health and safety at work Occupaonal Health and Safety (OHS) is a fundamental priority for the Group. The Group’s Health & Safety Policy establishes a comprehensive framework for idenfying, assessing, and priorizing risks, while ensuring the implementaon of prevenve measures and connuous training. Furthermore, the Group acvely encourage the reporng of hazards and near misses, fostering a culture of accountability aimed at the constant improvement of working condions. Cooperaon with the own workforce (ESRS S1-20 b) The implementaon of policies is supported through established informaon/consultaon channels in place in each country and facility (e.g. briefings, training, issue reporng procedures) to incorporate, where possible, the legimate interests and needs of employees into the implementaon process. Remediaon and reporng mechanisms (ESRS S1-20 c) To prevent, report and address potenal negave impacts (including human rights issues), the Group implements whistleblowing and internal invesgaon procedures, providing for confidenality, appropriate correcve acon and monitoring of resoluon. Specific commitments for groups at parcular risk of vulnerability (ESRS S1-24 c) During the reporng period, at Group level there were no disnct policy commitments for inclusion and/or posive acon targeng specific groups of the own workforce at parcular risk of vulnerability, beyond the horizontal principles of equal treatment and non-discriminaon. Significant policy changes (ESRS S1-AR10.9) During the reporng period, a policy on salary advances (where applicable) was adopted or revised and entered into force. The policy defines the purpose, eligible beneficiaries, applicaon and repayment procedures, as well as confidenality and internal posng/availability requirements. Supplier Code of Conduct (ESRS S1-AR13.11) The Supplier Code of Conduct is currently under internal consultaon and is expected to be finalized in 2026. Its compleon will be aligned with the Group’s value chain assessment process on sustainability issues and the NIS2 Direcve, addressing cybersecurity and compliance requirements for the Group’s value chain partners. Overall governance and oversight of the policy framework are described in ESRS G1 ("The role of the Group's administrave, management and supervisory bodies"), with detailed references, mapping, and supporng evidence provided in Annex II. Procedures for cooperaon with own workforce and employee representaves on impacts (S1-2_01-08/S1/S1- 2/27-29) The Group considers meaningful parcipaon of its workforce essenal for the reliable idenficaon and assessment of impacts affecng employees. As part of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, contribuons were collected from representaves of key Group funcons and countries to reflect diverse operaonal realies and perspecves.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 123 Employee feedback is systemacally gathered through established mechanisms, including the Employee Engagement Survey (December 2025), which addresses the working environment, employee experience, communicaon, well- being, and safety, as well as through performance management processes that capture issues related to performance, skills, and development needs. The Human Resources Department is responsible for designing, implemenng, and monitoring parcipaon and feedback mechanisms. It records findings, translates them into specific priories and improvement acons, and summarizes the results in internal reports and presentaons to management and relevant funcons. These outputs are used to update acons and plans where necessary and monitored for implementaon. Employees are informed of key conclusions and related acons through internal communicaon channels, such as announcements and team meengs, to enhance transparency and demonstrate how their feedback informs decision- making. Procedures for remedying negave impacts and channels for subming concerns by the own workforce (S1-3_01- 10/S1/S1-3/32-43) The Group recognizes the importance of having effecve mechanisms in place to address adverse impacts on human resources and to ensure that employees can express their concerns and needs in a safe and reliable manner. To this end, it has adopted a system of connuous improvement of procedures for providing or contribung to the remediaon of negave impacts related to human resources. In cases where the Group has caused or contributed to a material negave impact, specific remediaon procedures are applied, which include: o The existence of anonymous and secure communicaon channels (e.g. whistleblowing channel) through which employees can report issues related to labor rights violaons, discriminaon or working condions. o Internal invesgaons and assessments by the relevant human resources and regulatory compliance teams, with the aim of immediately idenfying and correcng any problems. o Taking correcve/supporve measures, which may include adopng and/or updang policies and procedures, depending on the nature of the incident. For example, during the reporng period, a salary advance policy (where applicable) was adopted, establishing a clear and transparent framework of terms, procedures and confidenality. o Regular monitoring of the effecveness of correcve acons through performance indicators and assessments by the ESG Commiee and the Human Resources Department. Communicaon channels for expressing complaints/concerns Group employees have the opportunity to express their concerns or needs through specific communicaon channels developed by the Group. These channels include direct communicaon with the Human Resources Department, while there is also the opon of subming anonymous complaints through a special procedure to ensure the protecon of individuals who choose to express their concerns. The Group also parcipates in third-party mechanisms, such as independent commiees or internal mechanisms for managing complaints and concerns. Protecon from retaliaon and confidenality The Group maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards retaliaon against employees who choose to express their concerns through the channels provided. This protecon covers both the employees themselves and their representaves and is ensured through strict confidenality and informaon security procedures. Monitoring and evaluang the effecveness of the channels The effecveness of these channels is systemacally monitored and evaluated by the Human Resources Department to ensure that issues that arise are dealt with appropriately. The procedures include recording issues, monitoring their progress and providing feedback to the employees concerned on the outcome of the issues they have raised. Strengthening procedures and informing the own workforce The Group connuously evaluates employee feedback regarding the reliability and effecveness of its communicaon channels. In 2025, praccal measures were implemented to strengthen these procedures, including an Employee
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 124 Engagement Survey conducted in December, which achieved a parcipaon rate exceeding 82%. This iniave allowed employees to express their views and concerns openly, reinforcing a culture of trust. At the same me, the Group carried out informaon and training programs to increase employee awareness of available communicaon channels, their rights, and the procedures for safely reporng concerns or issues. For new employees, this informaon is integrated into the onboarding process, while exisng employees receive it through structured training modules. This approach ensures consistent communicaon and reinforces knowledge throughout the Group. Acons to address significant impacts on the Group's workforce In 2025, in order to manage significant issues affecng its workforce, the Group relied on the organizaonal resources and established procedures of the Human Resources Department, aiming to ensure consistent implementaon of relevant policies across the Group. The approach emphasized operaonal monitoring and management of employee maers through designated reporng and complaint channels, as well as regular briefing and guidance for the roles involved, where necessary. At the same me, the Group reinforced Human Resources procedures through exisng digital infrastructures, with SAP SuccessFactors serving as the core system for organizing and documenng key HR funcons. The implementaon and effecveness of these acons are monitored through operaonal indicators and internal assessments. Management of significant risks and opportunies relang to the Group's own workforce The Group acvely manages the significant workforce-related risks idenfied through the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment. The primary risk relates to costs associated with health and safety incidents, potenal disrupons or slowdowns in producon, and exposure to liability or claims. The management approach focuses on prevenon, mely response, and systemac monitoring. Indicave measures and procedures implemented by the Group include: o Idenficaon and assessment of risks at each facility and acvity, with the definion of appropriate prevenve measures. o Recording, invesgaon, and documentaon of incidents, along with correcve and prevenve acons and monitoring of their implementaon. o Training and informaon programs on health and safety, tailored to the specific needs of roles and tasks, aimed at reducing the likelihood of incidents. o Operaonal controls and inspecons to verify compliance with safety requirements and promptly idenfy deviaons. o Response readiness, including reporng, escalaon, and incident response procedures, to limit impacts on personnel and operaons. The effecveness of these measures is systemacally monitored through operaonal indicators and internal reviews (e.g., incident trends, inspecon findings, progress on correcve acons), supporng connuous improvement and minimizing the risk of financial impact or operaonal disrupon. Regarding opportunies, the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment did not idenfy any significant opportunies specific to this themac area. Acon plans and resources for managing material impacts In order to manage the important issues concerning its workforce, in 2025 the Group ulized the exisng organizaonal resources and established procedures of the Human Resources Department, with the aim of consistently implemenng the relevant policies at Group level. The approach focused on the operaonal monitoring and handling of employee issues through the designated reporng/complaint management channels, as well as on the regular briefing and guidance of the roles involved (HR and line management), where required.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 125 At the same me, the Group supported human resources processes through exisng digital infrastructure, with SAP SuccessFactors as the core system for organizing and documenng key human resources funcons. The implementaon and effecveness of the relevant acons are monitored mainly through established HR operaonal indicators and internal assessments. Assessment and monitoring of the effecveness of the Group's acons The assessment and monitoring of the effecveness of acons relang to the own workforce is based on the systemac collecon and analysis of feedback, as described in the secon "Procedures for cooperaon with own workforce and employee representaves on impacts ". The relevant findings from the available feedback channels are collected, evaluated and presented to the Group's senior management in order to support decision-making and the planning of targeted improvements. For example, the results of the Employee Engagement Survey completed in December 2025 are evaluated internally and used as input for seng priories and updang relevant acons, with the aim of connuously enhancing the experience and engagement of the own workforce. Management of the protecon of own workforce personal data The Group has established a process for managing informaon security and privacy incidents, in line with applicable regulatory requirements and internal policies. In the event of an incident involving employee data, an assessment process is iniated by the relevant roles and units (IT, DPO, Legal/Regulatory Compliance), correcve acons are determined and, where necessary, the required noficaons are made to the competent authories. In 2025, one data breach incident was recorded, which was invesgated immediately and thoroughly. The invesgaon confirmed that there was no material impact, nor any evidence of further malicious acvity or data leakage. The incident was addressed with appropriate correcve acons. Acon taken on significant impacts on own workforce and approaches to managing significant risks and realizing significant opportunies in relaon to own workforce and effecveness of these acons (S1-4_18/S1/S1-4/AR41) The Group creates a fair, safe and supporve working environment, with the aim of prevenng, migang and, where necessary, remedying negave impacts on its own workforce, as well as taking advantage of opportunies for improvement. The approach is based on a combinaon of policies, compliance procedures and operaonal pracces applied at Group level, with adjustments where necessary due to local circumstances. Processes for idenfying, assessing and priorizing impacts, risks and opportunies Significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to the own workforce are idenfied and assessed through: o connuous operaonal monitoring by HR and line management (e.g. labor relaons issues, employee feedback, complaints/reports), o Health & Safety procedures (risk assessments, incident and near-miss reports, inspecons), o reporng/complaint mechanisms (Group Report and Speak Up Policy and incident invesgaon), o the use of qualitave and quantave inputs (such as survey results, incident trends, HR/H&S indicators) to priorize issues based on severity, likelihood and scope of impact, as well as the targeted selecon of measures. How appropriate measures are determined and how negave impacts are prevented/avoided The Group idenfies appropriate measures for each issue based on: (a) applicable legal requirements, (b) internal policies/operang rules, (c) findings from reports, audits and risk assessments. Operaonal pracces (e.g. recruitment, working hours, performance management, facility security) are implemented within clear compliance and control frameworks to avoid pracces that could lead to adverse impacts. Acons/pracces by material topic 1. Safe employment (posive impact) The Group supports safe and fair employment condions through: o standardized recruitment/onboarding procedures and transparent assessment and development criteria, o compliance with applicable labor law (terms of employment, working hours, leave, remuneraon),
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 126 o mechanisms for reporng and managing concerns about labor rights issues. For non-employee workers of the Group who work on site, access/behavior requirements and H&S rules apply where relevant, with an emphasis on safe working pracces. 2. Work-life balance Work-life balance is supported through the framework of working arrangements and, where feasible based on role/funcon, through pracces such as remote working (in accordance with the Remote Working Policy) and the proper management of working me/leave. The results of feedback mechanisms (e.g. Employee Engagement Survey and other channels) are used to idenfy targeted intervenons where needs are idenfied (e.g. communicaon, team support, pracce improvements). 3. Employee health and safety (prevenon/migaon and remediaon) The prevenon and migaon of negave H&S impacts is achieved through: o risk assessments and the implementaon of prevenve measures, o training/informaon and safe working rules, o incident reporng, root cause invesgaon and correcve acon, o monitoring of H&S performance through operaonal indicators and reviews. In the event of an accident or H&S incident, immediate management procedures are implemented (incident response, medical support where required, invesgaon, correcve and prevenve acons), in accordance with the instuonal framework and internal procedures. 4. Measures against violence and harassment in the workplace (prevenon/migaon) The Group has zero tolerance for violence, harassment and discriminaon, through: o rules of conduct and relevant commitments in the Code Conduct, o reporng/complaint mechanisms (Group Report and Speak Up Policy), with confidenality and invesgaon procedures, o appropriate correcve acons/disciplinary measures where violaons are found. 5. Privacy and data protecon of Group employees (prevenon/migaon) The Group implements a framework for the protecon of employees’ personal data, grounded in the Code of Conduct, the Speak Up Policy, and compliance with the General Data Protecon Regulaon (GDPR). This framework includes technical and organizaonal measures, such as controlled access to HR systems, encrypon, regular backups, and security monitoring mechanisms. Requests related to data subject rights (access, correcon, deleon, restricon) are managed by the Data Protecon Officer (DPO) in collaboraon with the relevant funcons, within the established deadlines. To migate privacy risks, the Group conducts a mandatory annual awareness program on cybersecurity and data protecon, with compleon tracked through a dedicated plaorm. In addion, targeted training programs are provided for system administrators and other crical funcons to reinforce knowledge and ensure compliance. 6. Training and skills development In 2025, the Group's learning and development strategy maintained a targeted approach, with training tailored to operaonal and individual needs, as reflected in the available performance management tools and the experience of previous iniaves. In this context, a total of 22,584 training man-hours were recorded (2024: 17,559), with an average of 7.49 hours per employee (2024: 6.63), indicang an increase in training acvity compared to the previous year. Investment in training remained substanal, with a total cost of €350,000 (2024: €393,063) and an average expenditure of €116 per employee (2024: €149), reflecng an opmizaon of the training mix without compromising coverage of crical topics. Most training focused on areas of direct operaonal value, with an emphasis on health and safety at work, soſt skills, leadership development through Leadership Academies, as well as strengthening digital skills and leveraging corporate systems (e.g. ERP, SAP S/4HANA and SuccessFactors).
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 127 Significant risks to the business and migaon measures The Group recognizes that serious incidents (parcularly H&S and/or safety incidents) may lead to business interrupon, regulatory sancons/fines, compensaon claims and reputaonal damage. Risk migaon is supported through: o systemac H&S prevenon and controls, o invesgaon and correcve acon procedures, o a compliance and incident response framework (where relevant). Effecveness is monitored through incident trends, audit/inspecon findings, H&S indicators and reviews by the relevant funcons. Monitoring and evaluang effecveness The effecveness of acons is monitored through a combinaon of: o operaonal human resources and H&S indicators (where applicable), o trends in reports/complaints/invesgaons and response mes, o results from feedback mechanisms, with internal evaluaon and reporng to senior management to support decision-making and priorizaon of improvements. Resources (human and financial) The human and financial resources for managing the significant impacts, risks and opportunies related to the own workforce have been allocated to the relevant Group funcons (e.g. HR, Health & Safety where applicable, Regulatory Compliance/Legal Support), however, during the reporng period, the quanficaon/allocaon of these resources per individual material topic had not been completed. As part of the digizaon of the data collecon and consolidaon process for the Sustainability Report, which is planned to be implemented in 2026, the Group aims to enhance the ability to monitor and record the relevant resources per themac area and provide more detailed informaon in the next reporng period. Objecves related to the management of significant negave impacts, the promoon of posive impacts and the management of significant risks and opportunies (S1-5_01-03/S1/S1-5/47) Based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, the Group monitors and manages the significant impacts that affect its workforce. For 2025, no significant opportunies have been idenfied under ESRS S1, so this secon focuses on the objecves related to significant impacts and the associated risks for the business. Time-bound targets (2025) The following targets apply at Group level for the own workforce in the countries of operaon: 1. Health & Safety at work 2025 target: Zero fatal accidents Scope: All relevant Group workforce in the countries of operaon. Level of ambion: Absolute zero tolerance target for 2025. Monitoring: Through established Health and Safety indicators and relevant internal incident recording and reporng procedures. 2025 performance: The target was achieved, as no fatal accidents were recorded during the reporng period. 2. Privacy and personal data protecon of the own workforce 2025 target: Zero significant incidents of personal data breaches of the own workforce. Significant incidents are those that have a material impact on the rights and freedoms of data subjects and/or may lead to material operaonal, legal or regulatory consequences. Scope: Personal data of the Group's workforce in the countries where it operates. Level of ambion: Zero tolerance target for use in 2025. Monitoring: Through the incident log, technical and organizaonal security measures, as well as mandatory annual awareness training on cybersecurity and data protecon, with compleon rates monitored via the corporate learning plaorm.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 128 2025 performance: The target was achieved, as no significant incidents of personal data breaches involving the own workforce were recorded during the reporng period. Significant impacts without quanfied targets For certain significant impactssuch as worklife balance and training/skills developmentthe Group implements policies and pracces and monitors progress through relevant indicators and employee feedback, without yet establishing a single, quanfied, and me-bound target at Group level. The absence of specific quantave targets in 2025 reflects the need for further consolidaon and maturaon of the data, as well as ensuring comparability across countries and funcons. As part of the digizaon and streamlining of the data collecon and consolidaon process for the 2026 Sustainability Report, the Group aims to consider seng quantave targets for these topics in the next reporng period, with a clear scope and methodology. Stakeholder engagement The establishment and review of targets is supported by the relevant Units or Departments (e.g., Human Resources, Health & Safety, DPO/IT Security), taking into account internal assessments and employee feedback collected through established channels (e.g., surveys, reporng mechanisms). This approach ensures that intervenons respond to the significant impacts idenfied. Target seng process Target seng is based on a systemac analysis of the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, combining the strategic direcon of management with operaonal data from the Group’s business. These findings form the basis for priorizing and defining objecves, ensuring alignment with both employee needs and the Group’s strategic goals. An annual reassessment allows for the incorporaon of lessons learned and the connuous improvement of the effecveness of acons. Effecveness monitoring and evaluaon procedures The Group implements rigorous procedures to monitor progress against objecves, using a combinaon of quantave and qualitave indicators covering the full spectrum of significant issues (e.g., accident rates, training compleon rates, equal pay indicators). This process ensures transparency and provides management with a clear overview of progress, enabling mely adjustments to strategic acons where needed. Characteriscs of the company's own workforce (S1-6_01-17/S1/S1-6/50) Use of naonal legal definions for the categorizaon of employees When recording and analyzing its human resources data, the Group uses the naonal legal definions applicable in each country where it operates. In parcular, the categories of permanent and temporary employees are determined based on the labor legislaon of each country. Furthermore, the disncon between full-me and part-me employment is made in accordance with naonal labor frameworks, considering the legal limits on working hours and the regulaons in force. For internal comparability and consolidaon, employee informaon is recorded based on headcount at the end of the reporng period. This ensures consistency in classificaon and harmonizaon with local regulatory requirements. Organizaonal design: A structure built for stability and growth The Group priorizes stable and sustainable employment, with permanent contracts as the predominant model. Fixed-term contracts are applied selecvely to meet specific operaonal needs. As of 31 December 2025, the Group’s workforce totaled 3,076 employees (2024: 3,111), with approximately 1.8% (55 people) on fixed-term contracts and 2.2% (69 people) in part-me employment. The gender composion remained stable, with 47% men and 53% women.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 129 The geographical distribuon reflects the Group’s internaonal presence, with the largest proporons employed in Poland (40.2%) and Greece (28.7%), while a significant presence is maintained in Ukraine (14.9%). Workforce stability compared to 2023 is largely linked to the integraon of Stella Pack in 2024 and the connued full operaonal ulizaon of producon units. To address seasonal or temporary operaonal needs, the Group collaborates with external contractors for support funcons (e.g., producon, warehousing, markeng), ensuring flexibility is applied consistently and transparently. The total workforce, broken down by gender, contract type, and geographical area, is presented in this Sustainability Report and aligns with disclosures in the Group’s financial statements. Data are recorded at headcount level as of 31 December 2025, derived from internal HR systems and legal enty records within the reporng scope. Classificaon by gender, contract type, employment form, and locaon is based on acve employment data at the reporng date, without significant esmates. Standard consistency and alignment checks were conducted prior to consolidaon at Group level. All indicators presented in this chapter have not been updated or externally validated beyond the assurance provider of this Report.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 131 Ensuring fair and unbiased recruitment The Group applies a uniform framework for aracng and selecng candidates at the Group level, with the objecve of providing a consistent, high-quality candidate experience and ensuring a fair, objecve, and non-discriminatory assessment. Evaluaons are based on criteria directly related to the requirements of the role, the associated responsibilies, and the culture and values of the respecve team. The process includes defining selecon criteria, sourcing candidates both internally and externally, and conducng structured interviews. Where necessary, standardized assessment tools are also used, such as professional personality quesonnaires, aptude tests, or case studies. At the same me, equal treatment is reinforced through measures such as striving for gender balance where feasible, and establishing rules to ensure the integrity of the process, for example, by excluding candidates who are first-degree relaves of exisng employees. Recruitment trends and workforce development in 2025 Aracng high-potenal employees is a key priority for maintaining a diverse workforce. In 2025, 653 new employees were recruited to the Group's acvies (2024: 700). The gender distribuon of hires remained balanced, with 302 men and 351 women joining the Group. Geographically, most hires were recorded in Poland, Greece and Ukraine, reflecng the Group's operaonal needs and footprint in its key markets. In terms of age composion, most new hires were employees aged 30-50, while the parcipaon of younger employees under the age of 30 also increased, supporng the gradual renewal and strengthening of human resources skills. The overall picture of recruitment in 2025 was at a high level, remaining influenced by the expansion of the Group's operaonal footprint in previous years (including the integraon of new acvies), as well as by the staffing and support needs of producon and commercial operaons in the main countries of presence. The following tables present an analysis of new hires: Number of employee hires 2023 2024 2025 257 700 653 Number of employee hires by gender Gender 2023 2024 2025 Men 91 330 302 Women 166 370 351 Other 0 0 0 Not disclosed 0 0 0 Total 257 700 653 Number of employee hires by country 2025 Country 2023 2024 Bosnia and Herzegovina 3 5 5 Bulgaria 14 19 15 Czech Republic 1 11 5 Greece 155 144 139 Hungary 3 2 5 North Macedonia 6 5 4

This figure is reflected in terms of headcount and not in full-me equivalents (FTE). For the purposes of this disclosure, non-employee workers are defined as employees who provide work through third-party cooperaon schemes and have a systemac/permanent presence at the Group's facilies. Occasional, short-term or one-off jobs are not included in the calculaons. The recording is based on end-of-period data (31.12.2025), which is collected from countries/subsidiaries and consolidated at Group level through an internal control process.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 133 The 2025 disclosure is the first year of systemac recording at Group level, which enhances transparency and lays the foundaon for comparability in subsequent reporng periods. Coverage of collecve bargaining and social dialogue (S1-8_01-03/S1/S1-8/60) During the 2025 reporng period, the Group assessed the coverage of its employees by collecve labor agreements and the level of representaon in social dialogue, with the aim of recording working condions and terms of employment at Group level. Coverage of collecve bargaining and social dialogue The total coverage of own workforce employees by collecve labor agreements is 41.2% (1,267 employees out of a total of 3,076, based on headcount). In the European Economic Area (EEA), for countries with significant employment (≥50 employees and ≥10% of total human resources), coverage is as follows: o Greece: 883 employees, 28.7% coverage of all Group employees o Poland: 0/1,236 employees, 0% coverage of the Group's total workforce For countries outside the EEA, collecve agreement coverage stands at 12.5% (384/3,076 total Group employees). The absence of collecve agreement coverage in Poland does not imply a lack of employment protecon or unfair remuneraon. The Group ensures that employees in Poland are remunerated in accordance with the applicable naonal labor and wage framework, applying the relevant legal requirements and its internal human resources management pracces. Employees not covered by collecve agreements For employees not covered by collecve agreements, the terms and condions of employment are determined by: o applicable naonal labor legislaon, o the Group's internal policies and procedures, o individual employment contracts and staff regulaons. European employee representaon bodies During the reporng period, there was no acve EWC, SE or SCE agreement for employee representaon. Group employee diversity indicators (S1-9_01-06/S1/S1-9/66) The Group discloses diversity indicators with the aim of transparently reflecng the gender distribuon at senior management levels, as well as the age distribuon of its human resources.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 134 The 2025 data show that the Group maintains an overall balanced gender distribuon within its own workforce, with 53% women (1,633) and 47% men (1,430). This demonstrates the stable presence of women in the workforce and reflects the Group’s commitment to equal employment and career development opportunies. At the hierarchical level, variaon exists across grades. Female parcipaon is parcularly strong at the managerial level, where women represent 62% (66 women compared to 40 men). In contrast, representaon decreases at higher levels, with women accounng for approximately 39% (29 of 75) of senior managers and approximately 29% (12 of 41) in execuve roles. Notably, in the reference year, there was no female representaon in the Executive Committee. This distribuon highlights, on the one hand, progress in middle management, and on the other hand, the need to further strengthen female representaon at senior management levels through targeted execuve development, succession planning, and leadership development iniaves. Regarding age structure, the core of the workforce is concentrated in the 3050 age group (1,811 employees), supporng business connuity. At senior management levels, there is greater parcipaon of employees over 50, whereas in non-management posions, the presence of younger employees is more pronounced, reflecng a gradual renewal of the workforce. This composion provides a balance of experience and renewal, with a connued focus on maintaining intergeneraonal and gender diversity across all levels. Note for the total: The sum of the above tables corresponds to 3,063 employees, and not 3,076 as stated in the Group's total declared workforce, as 13 employees/execuves are not allocated to a hierarchical level and are not included in the tables by grade. Training and skills development measurement indicators (S1-13_01/S1/S1-13/83-85) In 2025, the use of SAP SuccessFactors as a unified digital human resources plaorm enhanced the Group's ability to monitor key talent aracon and management processes in a more structured and data-driven manner. Indicavely, the key benefits include: o Centralized recruitment management and human resources planning A single system for managing the enre recruitment process, ensuring efficiency and alignment with business needs. o Enhanced candidate and employee experience A unified digital plaorm that provides a structured applicaon process, real-me updates and improved visibility into the Group's internal job posngs. o Simplified HR compliance and digisaon Digized talent management processes that enhance transparency, regulatory alignment and structured career development. Enhancing the value of learning In 2025, training and skills development iniaves contributed significantly to the Group's sustainable development strategy, enhancing the ability of employees to evolve, collaborate effecvely and operate in line with the values, standards and principles of responsible governance. With a focus on people, the Group promotes a culture of connuous learning that supports performance, resilience and fair access to development opportunies at Group level. In 2025, 22,584 hours of training were recorded (2024: 17,559), an increase of approximately +29%, while the average number of training hours per employee increased to 7.49 hours (2024: 6.63). At the same me, total training expenditure amounted to €350,000 (2024: €393,063), resulng in a reducon in the average cost per employee to €116 (2024: €149). This picture reflects a strengthening of training acvies with simultaneous cost opmizaon, mainly through greater use of internal/group acvies and digital forms of training. In the 2025 training mix, a significant poron of the hours corresponds to mandatory and operaonally crical training, such as Health & Safety (6,656 hours), as well as leadership development programs (Leadership Academy: 2,870 hours), soſt skills (4,284 hours) and training in business systems (ERP/SAP). Methodology and assumpons for training and skills development data Training hours are collected by Human Resources (HR) teams per country/subsidiary, based on officially recorded training acvies (in-person, online, internal workshops, cerfied programmes). The total number of hours is derived from the recorded aendance records, while the average per employee is calculated based on the methodology

Only confirmed training acvies are recorded (unofficial/informal training is not included). In 2025, the systemac monitoring of training was strengthened using corporate HR/training tools (where applicable), with the aim of greater integraon and comparability of data between countries, and the gradual further automaon of the process in the coming years. Percentage of own workforce parcipang in regular performance and career development reviews Gender 2023 2024 2025 Men 57% 59% 37% Women 75% 76% 54% Other 0% 0% 0% Not disclosed 0% 0% 0% Total 65% 69% 46% In 2025, the percentage of Group employees who parcipated in regular performance and professional development assessments stood at 46% (2024: 69%), with a corresponding decrease for both men (37%) and women (54%). This change is mainly related to the expansion of the process coverage at Group level and, in parcular, to the inclusion of Stella Pack in the assessment framework in 2025 (it did not parcipate in 2024). At the same me, the current assessment model does not yet include producon workers (blue collars), who account for approximately 80% of Stella Pack's workforce, which affects the overall parcipaon rate. The Group plans to include producon workers in the assessment process in 2026, with the aim of further increasing coverage and ensuring uniform applicaon of the pracce at Group level.

Simultaneously, iniaves were implemented to enhance meaningful dialogue on career and development, including Career Aspiraon Discussions and a structured approach to Personal Development Plans (PDPs), ensuring that development remains targeted, aconable, and accessible. In addion, training on the new Competency Model contributed to the creaon of a shared “compass” of skills and behaviours, fostering consistency, collaboraon, and responsible leadership across the Group. Looking ahead to 2026, the Group aims to further mature and scale up its iniaves, with an emphasis on: (a) connuing and expanding the Leadership Academies (6Star Manager Academy, iLevel Up Academy, Execuve Leadership Academy), (b) maximizing the use of the Learning Management System (LMS) by enriching content and learning paths, (c) strengthening Career Aspiraon Discussions and advancing PDPs, and (d) translang the results of the Employee Engagement Survey into concrete acons. The development of the Group’s people remains the foundaon of operaonal resilience and future readiness, supported by consistent implementaon, structured processes, and the use of technology to ensure that learning is accessible, meaningful, and directly aligned with job requirements. Health and safety measurement indicators (S1-14_01-07/S1/S1-14/88) The Group is commied to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all its employees, priorizing the well-being of its human resources. Through health and safety policies and acons, it ensures the protecon of its employees, both through prevenve measures and through connuous investment in the improvement of health and safety management systems. Health and safety management system coverage The Group's health and safety management system covers 100% of its employees in all producon units in Greece, Poland and Ukraine, in accordance with the requirements of internaonal standards and the ISO 45001:2018 (Occupaonal Health & Safety Management). This system has been cerfied by independent external bodies, reinforcing the reliability and effecveness of the Group's approach to health and safety. Health & Safety data recording and analysis methodology The Group records and analyses Health and Safety (H&S) data through internal reporng systems, based on data collected by individual Health and Safety teams in each country of operaon. Accident data is recorded in accordance with naonal legislave requirements and internal protocols, including informaon such as the number of accidents at work and their severity. The calculaon of relevant indicators is based on total working hours, where such data is available, and a consistent methodology is applied to analyze the results. However, the recording process has certain limitaons, as different legal requirements in each country and the heterogeneity of exisng data collecon procedures may affect the comparability and accuracy of the results. The Group recognizes the need to further improve its recording procedures and harmonize its methodology for monitoring Health and Safety data, in order to ensure the completeness, accuracy and transparency of its reports. In this context, the recording system is being reviewed and strengthened with the aim of improving accident counng and enhancing risk prevenon capabilies in the workplace. Health and safety indicators In 2025, the Group connued to give high priority to Health & Safety (H&S), with the aim of prevenng accidents, protecng employees and ensuring business connuity. No fatal accidents or accidents with serious consequences were recorded for either in-house or contractor personnel.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 137 In terms of indicators, a total of 30 accidents were recorded (own workforce employees: 28, non-employee workers: 2). The Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) stood at 1.10 overall (own workforce employees: 1.22, non-employee workers: 0.44), showing stabilizaon compared to 2024 and improvement among contractor personnel. The Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) stood at 0.99 overall, while lost working days amounted to 1,630.

For example, the Group implemented significant technical intervenons (automaon to reduce/eliminate manual handling of loads, fire safety enhancements and system upgrades), compliance was strengthened through systemac monitoring of legislaon by an external partner where deemed necessary, and emphasis was placed on training in the safe use of warehouse equipment and chemical/spill management. Training was a key focus of prevenon, with 6,656 man-hours of H&S training in 2025. The Group connues to strengthen its "safety culture" and prevenon measures, with an emphasis on technical measures, preparedness and connuous improvement. Work-life balance indicators (S1-15_01-04/S1/S1-15/93-94) The Group recognizes the importance of work-life balance and the need to support its employees in this area. Through targeted acons, such as providing family-related leave and implemenng a teleworking policy, the Group reinforces its commitment to ensuring an environment that promotes well-being and producvity.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 138 Methodology for assessing work-life balance The analysis is based on quantave data, such as the number of employees benefing from flexible working policies or parental leave, as well as qualitave conclusions from annual engagement surveys. However, the methodology for recording and assessing this data has room for improvement. In this context, the Group plans to strengthen its methodology by incorporang more structured KPIs and monitoring tools to more fully reflect the impact of flexibility and work-life balance policies on employee sasfacon and producvity. Right and use of family leave All Group own workforce employees are entled to take family-related leave, as provided for in internal policy and collecve labour agreements. The Group therefore meets the ESRS disclosure requirement by ensuring that all employees have access to family-related leave. Total number of employees entled to parental leave 2023 2024 2025 Men 12 207 143 Women 58 253 318 Total 70 460 461 Total number of employees who took parental leave, by gender 2023 2024 2025 12 31 53 Men 58 87 214 Women 70 118 267 Total Compensaon measurement indicators (salary gap and total compensaon) - (S1-16_01-04/S1/S1-16/97-98) Ensuring pay equality and equal pay for work of equal value is a pillar of the Group's human resources strategy. For the reference year 2025, the Group reports strong performance in eliminang gender pay gaps. Management level - 2025 Gender pay gap (%) Senior Management -9.23 Directors 1.41 Senior managers 7.44 Managers 1.50 Employees without managerial responsibilies (individual contributors) -0.82 Total -0.50 The analysis of remuneration data for 2025 shows that the overall gender pay gap across the Group is -0.50%, reflecting near-total pay parity. On average, female employees earn 0.50% more than their male counterparts, demonstrating a high level of gender neutrality in the Group’s compensation framework. At the individual contributor level (employees without managerial responsibilities), the pay gap is minimal at -0.82%, confirming the consistent application of objective and merit-based criteria in recruitment and staff development. For middle management, small differences are observed for Managers and Directors, with pay gaps of 1.50% and 1.41%, respectively, in favor of men. These figures are well within acceptable statistical margins, highlighting the Group’s commitment to maintaining balanced and equitable remuneration across these levels. At the highest administrative tiers, an inverted pay gap is seen in favor of women, amounting to 7.44% for Senior Managers and -9.23% for Senior Management. This variation is largely due to the smaller sample sizes at senior levels, where specialized expertise and the specific scope of responsibility for each role have a greater influence on average remuneration. In conclusion, the consolidated index of -0.50% confirms the effective implementation of equal opportunity policies and demonstrates the absence of systemic gender discrimination within the Group.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 139 Total remuneraon rao The ratio reflects the relationship between the annual total remuneration of the Group's highest-paid individual (Chief Executive Officer - CEO) and the median annual total remuneration of all Group employees (excluding the CEO), encompassing both fixed and variable compensation. In 2025, the ratio remained at comparable levels to 2024, reflecting limited variations in both the CEO's annual total remuneration and the median total compensation of the workforce. The CEO's total annual remuneration for 2025 will be disclosed in the Group’s 2025 Remuneration Report, scheduled for publication in late March 2026. Metric 2024 2025 Annual total compensation ratio (CEO to median annual total 53:1 54:1 remuneration of employees, excluding the CEO payment) In terms of international benchmarks, published analyses of FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies in the US show significantly higher ratios, with an average ratio of 384:1 (https://aflcio.org/). Similarly, in a European context, the median ratio in large listed markets (e.g. FTSE 100) is recorded at higher levels (https://highpaycentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/CEO-pay-report-2025-3.pdf). Comparisons are influenced by methodology (use of median/average remuneration, geographical composition of the workforce, percentage of variable remuneration, etc.). Incidents, complaints and serious human rights impacts (S1-17_01-12/S1/S1-17/103-104) For the reporting period, and based on the Group's official internal records and complaint management mechanisms, no incidents of discrimination/harassment, serious human rights violations, or related financial penalties, fines or compensation.

At the same me, it provides consumers with clear, accurate and mely informaon through labelling and available communicaon channels regarding composion, proper use, precauons and any recalls. The Group systemacally monitors the quality and compliance of its products and directly manages any issues in order to improve the consumer experience and reduce the risk of negave impacts.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 140 As part of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, consumer access to quality and reliable informaon, which enhances product safety and trust, was idenfied as a significant posive impact. Health and safety issues, as well as consumer privacy and data protecon, were idenfied as significant negave impacts. At the same me, a significant risk associated with potenal product recalls was recognised, due to the associated operaonal and financial burdens. Categories of consumers and end users subject to significant impacts The Group emphasizes product safety, responsible communicaon with consumers and personal data protecon. The aim is to market products that comply with the applicable regulatory framework for each product category and market, parcularly in terms of safety, composion, labelling and safe use. For example, where relevant requirements such as Regulaon (EC) 1223/2009 on cosmec products and Regulaon (EC) 1272/2008 on the classificaon, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) are taken into account. At the same me, the Group provides clear and appropriate informaon to consumers on the safe use of products. End-consumer categories are defined based on the following criteria: (a) the product risk profile, (b) the potenal vulnerability of the user, and (c) the channel of interacon (physical or digital). o Vulnerable consumers (e.g. children, people with sensivies): enhanced safety requirements apply, such as safety assessment, tesng where applicable, regulatory compliance checks and prevenve review of composions where necessary. o All end consumers: clear and accessible informaon on composion, instrucons for use, warnings and claims is provided to support safe use and limit misunderstandings or incomplete labelling. Results of the Double Materiality Assessment related to the topic of consumers and end users The idenficaon process resulted in the following:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 141 Impact management and remediaon acons The Group recognizes that potenal cases of non-compliance with product safety, composion, and/or labelling requirements may have negave impacts on consumers, including risks to health and safety, incorrect use due to inadequate instrucons, and/or misleading informaon regarding the product’s characteriscs. To prevent such impacts, the Group applies a uniform framework of quality and regulatory compliance controls across all markets and at every stage of producon (raw materials, intermediate stages, and finished products). This framework includes safety and composion compliance checks, verificaon of labelling and instrucons for use, as well as an internal evaluaon and documentaon process for claims prior to their release and communicaon, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. If a product is idenfied as not meeng the required specificaons aſter being placed on the market, withdrawal and/or recall procedures are immediately iniated, in cooperaon with the competent authories where necessary. The management of such incidents is accompanied by a thorough invesgaon of the causes and the implementaon
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 142 of correcve and prevenve acons, with the objecve of protecng consumers and connuously enhancing the safety and reliability of the Group’s products. Posive impact on consumers The Group seeks to systemacally enhance consumer safety, trust, and overall experience. This approach aligns with the issues idenfied as material in the Double Materiality Assessment and reflects the Group’s key priories regarding product safety, informaon, and market feedback. In 2025, the Group’s approach focuses on: (a) improving access to high-quality, clear, and accurate informaon on product composion, proper use, warnings, and claims; (b) strengthening customer and consumer feedback channels on quality issues; (c) digizing the quality management system; and (d) connuously maintaining quality and safety standards through Research & Development. In this context, responsible communicaon is defined as providing accurate, documented, and non-misleading informaon at all points of contact with the consumer, including packaging, promoonal materials, and digital channels. Responsible commercial pracce is defined as the applicaon of transparent and compliant promoonal and distribuon pracces, including the clear presentaon of product terms, characteriscs, and limitaons. At the same me, the Group enhances the accessibility and usability of end products for different consumer groups, with the aim of improving service and fostering long-term consumer loyalty. Risks and opportunies for the Group This secon focuses on the significant risks and opportunies for the Group related to consumers and end users, as idenfied in the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment. The main risk is the occurrence of potenal non-compliance with product safety requirements, which may lead to recalls/withdrawals, fines, compensaon, legal costs and loss of sales. In addion, product usability issues may increase complaints and returns, creang addional management costs and the need for correcve acon or redesign. Policies relang to consumers and end users of the Group's products (S4-1_01-07/S4/S4-1/15-17) Policies for managing significant impacts, risks and opportunies To manage important issues concerning consumers and end users, the Group applies a uniform framework of policies and procedures, which includes: o Code Conduct (secon "Consumer Issues"), with principles for product safety, compliance and responsible public informaon. o Quality Management System (QMS) and related procedures for controls from raw materials to the final product, verificaon of labelling/claims, traceability, non-compliance management, CAPA and withdrawal/recall readiness. o Privacy and Data Protecon Framework for consumers/end users, coordinated by the Group's Data Protecon Officer (DPO), covering data subjects' rights, retenon periods, incident management and technical/organizaonal security measures. o Consumer informaon quality procedures, with clarity of labelling checks and documentaon of claims prior to product release and communicaon. The Code of Conduct applies to members of management, employees and companies of the Group, while the relevant principles are also incorporated into relaonships with partners/suppliers through contractual requirements. The policy framework is available through the appropriate corporate channels (e.g. corporate website, intranet, onboarding and targeted training). The Group has iniated the development of a Product Quality and Safety Policy, scheduled for compleon in the first half of 2026, to further strengthen the consistency of the consumer governance framework. Human rights and consumer policies The Group is commied to protecng the human rights of consumers and complies with internaonal standards such as: The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 143 The Internaonal Labour Organizaon (ILO) Declaraon on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work The OECD Guidelines for Mulnaonal Enterprises At the same me, it acvely parcipates in industry associaons that promote responsible producon and consumer protecon, such as the Polish Associaon of Cosmec and Detergent Industry, the Romanian Union of Cosmecs and Detergents Manufacturers, Plascs Recyclers Europe (PRE), European Aluminium Foil Associaon (EAFA), and the Hellenic Aerosol Associaon (HAA). In this way, it seeks to connuously improve its products and services, responding to the needs and expectaons of consumers. Scope and availability of policies The scope and availability of the Group's policies, and in parcular those related to ESRS S4 Consumers and End Users, are analyzed in Annex II. Procedures for engaging with consumers and end users on impacts (S4-2_01_07/S4/S4-2/20-22) The Group recognizes that connuous interacon with consumers and end users of its products is a crical element of its responsible business pracce. Furthermore, through communicaon channels and customer complaint/feedback management (B2B), it systemacally collects and evaluates comments, requests and concerns related to the safety, quality, compliance and use of its products, both from large retailers and end consumers. The relevant informaon is used by the relevant funcons so that, where necessary, it can be incorporated into the decision-making process and the management of exisng or potenal product impacts. Process for interacng with consumers and end users The Group implements systemac procedures for communicang with consumers to understand the actual and potenal impacts of its products and services. These procedures include: Consumer sasfacon surveys: Regular market research and consumer feedback surveys are conducted in various geographical areas where the Group operates. Complaint assessment and request management: There is a mechanism for recording and analysing complaints exclusively by Group staff, through local customer service departments and on the corporate website with the help of arficial intelligence bots, to idenfy problems and implement correcve acons. Product withdrawal/recall management: In cases where a defecve product is idenfied on the market, withdrawal or recall procedures are immediately acvated. Procedures and mechanisms for collecng feedback from consumers The Group interacts with consumers at various stages of its operaons, on a regular basis and through different types of parcipaon, which are analyzed below: During the product design phase: Research and development of new products is based on collecng feedback from consumers to ensure that products meet their needs. During the launch of new products: The Group organizes informaon campaigns and product presentaons to provide transparent informaon on their characteriscs and proper use. Aſter the launch of products: Consumer experience is monitored through sasfacon surveys and consumer preference tracking. Mechanisms and procedures for evaluang the effecveness of consumer feedback collecon The Group connuously evaluates the effecveness of its interacon with consumers by implemenng a comprehensive quality indicator monitoring system. Monthly quality reports (MQR) at both producon unit and country level and the consolidated monthly quality scorecard (MQS) are key tools, as they record all relevant issues, such as consumer complaints, product withdrawals/recalls, producon failures, internal audit findings, supervision of correcve/prevenve acons, supplier non-compliance, maintenance of acquired standards, and proposed quality improvements. At the same me, the Group systemacally analyses consumer complaints using quantave and qualitave processing to idenfy recurring or systemic issues and take mely correcve and prevenve measures. The use of
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 144 relevant data supports the connuous improvement of products and services in line with consumer needs. The Quality Management and Regulatory Compliance Departments are responsible for implemenng complaint management procedures, compliance checks, monitoring product performance in the market and taking correcve acon where necessary. Internal audits and documented monitoring ensure compliance with quality standards and consumer protecon, enhancing the Group's transparency and credibility. Commitment procedures for specific consumer groups The Group considers the needs of the most vulnerable consumer groups, adapng its pracces to ensure their safety, health and personal data protecon. For families and children, it develops specialized products with hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested formulas, ensuring their compability with skin or allergic sensivies. The Group closely monitors developments in the European regulatory framework and ensures that its product composions are immediately exempt from substances that will be banned or restricted, such as homosalte, 1,4- Dioxane, D5/D6, octocrylene, among others. Through this approach, it reinforces its commitment to safer products for consumers. Future steps and goals For 2026, the Group is focusing on targeted improvement acons with clear operaonal deliverables: o Upgrading mul-channel service: establishing uniform response and escalaon indicators with systemac monitoring of resoluon mes and incident handling quality. o Strengthening the link between consumer findings and product development: standardizing the provision of recurring usability findings, instrucons for use and labelling to R&D/quality teams, so that specific improvements can be documented per review cycle. o Compleon of a specialized Product Quality and Safety Policy within the first half of 2026, incorporang roles, control procedures and documentaon requirements. o Strengthening consumer personal data protecon at digital touchpoints: implemenng a uniform privacy check before new or significantly modified digital funcons and standardizing the relevant documentaon. The above acons aim to improve the effecveness of processes, reduce recurring incidents and enhance consumer experience, based on measurable monitoring during 2026. Procedures for addressing negave impacts and consumer complaint mechanisms (S4-3_01-07/S4/S4-3/25-27) The Group recognizes its responsibility to manage and address negave impacts that may arise for consumers and end users of its products. In this context, it has developed structured procedures for both prevenng and remedying any negave impacts, as described in detail in the secon "Procedures for cooperaon with consumers and end users regarding impacts" as well as for the creaon of effecve communicaon channels through which consumers can express their concerns and complaints. Procedure for addressing and remedying negave impacts The Group has adopted product quality and safety management systems, which include strict prevenve controls, recall procedures and compliance mechanisms. In cases where issues affecng consumers are idenfied, the Group follows these pracces: o Idenficaon and assessment of negave impacts: It conducts internal audits of the quality management system and risk analyses to idenfy and assess potenal issues. o Product recall or withdrawal: In cases where a defecve product is idenfied on the market, it immediately acvates withdrawal or recall procedures. o Implementaon of correcve acons: The Group reviews producon processes, improves products and strengthens internal controls to prevent recurring negave impacts.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 145 Channels for subming complaints and managing consumer concerns The Group has established a mul-channel communicaon framework that allows consumers to report concerns and problems related to the Group's products. The available means of communicaon include: o Customer service department: Consumers can submit complaints via dedicated telephone lines, email or online contact forms on the company's official brand websites, as well as with the help of an arficial intelligence bot on the corporate website. o Anonymous complaint submission mechanisms: Complaints and reports can be submied through anonymous channels. o Cooperaon with third pares: The Group cooperates with regulatory authories and independent consulng organizaons in order to decode the content and implementaon schedule of upcoming regulaons and ensure mely compliance with them, as well as to enhance the transparency of its procedures. Procedures for monitoring and evaluang the effecveness of channels In order to ensure that the channels for subming complaints and reports operate effecvely, reliably and transparently, the Group implements systemac monitoring and evaluaon mechanisms, which include: o Data collecon and analysis: All reports and complaints are systemacally recorded and analyzed. o Conducng internal audits: The company's internal audit units monitor compliance with complaint management procedures. o Consumer percepon assessment: Through surveys and feedback analysis, we assess whether consumers are aware of these mechanisms and whether they trust them to resolve their issues. o Stakeholder engagement: The Group parcipates in relevant industry associaons and bodies, through which it consults and exchanges technical informaon with market representaves, consumer organizaons and competent authories, with the aim of connuously improving its procedures. Ensuring consumer protecon and strengthening trust The Group implements its Report and Complaint Management Policy, which supports the safe submission of reports and concerns. In this context, reports are examined in accordance with the established procedures, with safeguards in place to protect the reporter from adverse treatment, where applicable. At the same me, the Group applies confidenality and personal data protecon requirements when receiving, evaluang and managing reports, in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework and internal procedures. This approach enhances the transparency and credibility of the reporng mechanism. Acons and management of impacts, risks and opportunies related to consumers and end users (S4-4_01- 12/S4/S4-4/31-37) The Group is commied to ensuring quality, safety and clear, accurate and non-misleading informaon to consumers, taking measures to prevent and address negave impacts, as well as to capitalize on posive opportunies arising from its business acvies. It has adopted a comprehensive strategy that includes prevenve and correcve acons, control mechanisms and connuous improvement of products and processes. However, the Group's planned and implemented acons to manage impacts, risks and opportunies related to consumers and end users do not, at this stage, require significant financial resources that would make them financially significant. For this reason, they are not classified as significant capital investments or operang expenses. The increased costs that may arise in the future have already been taken into account in the Double Materiality Assessment, ensuring that the financial impact of the relevant acons is assessed in a holisc manner. These costs are expected to become more apparent in future revisions of the Double Materiality Assessment as the regulatory framework and stakeholder expectaons evolve and mature. Prevenon, migaon and response to negave impacts Through the Double Materiality Assessment, the Group has idenfied significant negave impacts related to (a) consumer health and safety and (b) consumer privacy and personal data protecon. For this reason, it implements prevenon, migaon and response mechanisms, with an emphasis on product quality and safety controls, labelling/claim compliance, withdrawal and recall procedures where necessary, as well as data protecon and incident
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 146 management procedures. This approach strengthens the Group's operaonal readiness for mely incident management and connuous improvement of consumer protecon pracces. Prevenon and migaon of negave impacts o Strict quality management systems: Depending on the producon unit and the relevant requirements, products are subject to safety and quality controls in accordance with Internaonal Quality and Safety Standards ISO 9001, ISO 22716, ISO 13485, ISO 22000, ensuring compliance with the highest standards. o Internal and external audits: The Group conducts regular audits, both internally and in collaboraon with specialized third pares/accredited laboratories, with the aim of idenfying potenal risks and connuously improving procedures. Where applicable, these audits are included in the product dossier and the compliance process for product licensing/markeng, in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework. o Investments in research, development and innovaon: The Group has stepped up its investments with the aim of developing safer and more environmentally friendly products. This reinforcement focuses on (a) the evaluaon and development of alternave raw materials and formulaons, including the gradual replacement of microplascs in preparaon for upcoming regulatory requirements ( ) (October 2027) and (b) adapng formulaons in relaon to cyclic volale methyl silicones D4/D5/D6, in preparaon for the upcoming requirements of Regulaon (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registraon, Evaluaon, Authorizaon and Restricon of Chemicals (REACH) (June 2027). o Informaon system security: To technically protect consumer data, the Group implements strict device usage and mobile device management policies. Online systems and loyalty plaorms are protected by modern security measures, and access to them is restricted to authorized personnel only. In addion, vulnerability scanning and regular security patches are performed on servers, applicaons and cloud environments to maintain system integrity. Risk management and exploitaon of business opportunies The Group systemacally manages risks related to product safety, informaon accuracy and user experience, in line with the findings of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment. Regulatory compliance and voluntary recall management (S4-4_01-12/S4/S4-4/31-37) The Group remains commied to complying with the applicable regulatory and legislave framework governing its acvies, ensuring transparency, consumer safety and connuous improvement of its processes. In 2025, there were no cases of non-compliance that led to the imposion of a fine or other administrave penalty. In 2025, there were two (2) cases of non-compliance that led to a warning from the competent authories and concerned inadequate labelling of cosmec products, and in parcular the failure to list the allergen Benzyl Alcohol in the list of ingredients (INCI) and aſter it was detected in a concentraon above the declaraon threshold (0.001% for leave-on products), in accordance with Arcle 19 of Regulaon (EC) 1223/2009. The warnings concerned (a) a product in Cyprus (Ministry of Health) and (b) a product in Greece (EOF). The second case concerned a product that had been disconnued since 2022 and had exceeded its expiry date, and instrucons were given to contact customers immediately and withdraw it from the market. At the product management level, in 2025, one (1) voluntary recall was carried out concerning a deviaon in the texture and viscosity of specific distribuon products (11.2025) and was addressed through the Group's established quality assurance procedures. Finally, no incidents of consumer privacy violaons were recorded in 2025. The table below summarizes the relevant data on regulatory compliance, data protecon and voluntary recall management:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 147 Time-bound and results-oriented targets and planned acons (S4-4_01-12/S4/S4-4/31-37) The Group implements an annual cycle of seng targets for consumer and end-user issues, with a me frame, responsible funcons, monitoring indicators and periodic review. The targets for 2026 were set by the relevant funcons (Quality, R&D, Regulatory Compliance, Markeng, Customer Service, Data Protecon Officer), based on the important issues that have been idenfied and the operaonal maturity of the exisng mechanisms.

In product safety, prevenve quality and compliance controls are implemented, as well as preparedness procedures for mely response to any deviaons, to limit exposure to recalls, penales, compensaon and reputaonal damage. In data protecon, risk prevenon and management procedures are strengthened at digital touchpoints, in coordinaon with the Data Protecon Officer and in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework. Consolidaon within the Enterprise Risk Management framework Risks related to consumers and end users are gradually being integrated into the central Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system to ensure uniform assessment, consistent monitoring and mely correcve acon. At this stage, consumer privacy and data protecon have already been idenfied as a key area of convergence between ESG and ERM. 2.13.4 Corporate Governance 2.13.4.1 ESRS G1 Business Conduct The role of the Group's administrave, management and supervisory bodies (G1.GOV-1_01/G1/G1.GOV-1/5a-b) The role of the Group's administrave, management and supervisory bodies in relaon to business ethics The Code of Ethics and Conduct and related procedures apply to all members of the Group employees, execuves, senior management and direct associates of the parent company and subsidiaries. Each member is personally responsible for complying with the provisions of the Code of Conduct, as well as other internal regulaons, policies and procedures relang to their area of responsibility. The Internal Audit Unit is responsible for gathering informaon and conducng audits to verify compliance. The development and implementaon of the Code of Ethics and Conduct is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Group's Executive Committee, while compliance is monitored by both the Internal Audit Unit and the directly involved department managers. In addion, senior management (CEO, Executive Committee) sets ethical standards and promotes corporate culture throughout the Group and is also informed by the Internal Audit Unit of the results of the Code audits and the implementaon of the relevant policies and procedures. The experse of the administrave, management and supervisory bodies in maers of business ethics The Internal Operang Regulaons describe the supervisory Departments and Units, as well as the regulatory tools related to corporate governance, in accordance with Law 4706/2020.

Through special training and informaon programs, it is ensured that the Group's direct and indirect staff fully understand the requirements of the Code and their obligaons in the context of their professional acvies. The implementaon of the Code is the responsibility of each Department and Unit of the Group, ensuring that ethical principles and standards of corporate behavior are upheld in all business acvies and for every employee of the Group. The Internal Audit Unit is responsible for assessing the Group's compliance with the Code of Ethics and Conduct by conducng audits and monitoring its implementaon across all its structures. Its role is to idenfy potenal deviaons and make recommendaons for improving the relevant procedures. The Audit Commiee supervises the Internal Audit Unit, ensuring the independence, objecvity and effecveness of its work. At the same me, the Audit Commiee informs the Board of Directors about the implementaon of the Code within the Group, based on the reports, findings and recommendaons of the Internal Audit Unit, which, where necessary, recommends appropriate correcve acons and suggesons for improvement. The Board of Directors is the highest body that ensures the Group's compliance with the principles of the Code of Ethics and Conduct. It is responsible for approving the Code and for incorporang the company's values into the Group's overall strategy and business acvies. For a detailed descripon of the experse and skills of the administrave, management and supervisory bodies in maers of business conduct, please refer to the secon "Experience of ESG Commiee members relevant to the Group's sectors, products and geographical areas of acvity". Policies applied to manage material impacts, risks and opportunies related to business ethics and corporate culture (G1.MDR-P_01-06/G1/G1-1/7) Based on the revised Double Materiality Assessment for 2025, corporate culture and business ethics are recognized as an important issue, as they directly affect the way the Group operates, the trust of employees and business partners, and the Group's ability to manage operaonal and compliance issues in all countries of operaon. At the parent company, this framework includes the Code of Ethics and Conduct, as well as the Report and Complaint Management Policy, conflict of interest management and the protecon of personal data/confidenal informaon. While there is no separate policy on combang corrupon and bribery, the basic principles are described in the Code of Conduct (4.3 Combang all forms of corrupon and bribery and 4.4 Prevenon of fraud). The policies are implemented at parent company and Group level, enhancing transparency, accountability and consistent applicaon of the rules. A key tool of the framework is the Group's Report and Complaint Management Policy, which sets out the principles and procedures for the mely detecon and handling of violaons. The mechanism is supported by a specific governance structure and strong confidenality and an-retaliaon safeguards, reinforcing the "tone from the top" and consistent applicaon of the rules at Group level. These policies also serve as a lever for strengthening resilience, promong transparent business pracces and reducing exposure to regulatory and reputaonal risks. Results of the Double Materiality Assessment related to the topic of corporate governance The idenficaon process resulted in the following:

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 151 The Group implements a coherent framework of corporate integrity and governance to prevent and address material impacts, risks and opportunies related to business conduct. The results of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment confirmed that corporate culture has a material posive impact. From a financial perspecve, the key risks idenfied were unethical behavior, compliance violaons and incidents of bribery/corrupon, which are analyzed in the table above, presenng the results of the Group's 2025 Double Materiality exercise related to corporate governance. To address the above risks, the corporate integrity framework (Code of Conduct, etc.) described in the previous secon is applied. Parcular emphasis is placed on the use of the Report and Complaint Management Policy as a key tool for the mely detecon of incidents, as well as on targeted training acons. At the same me, the Group leverages corporate integrity as a driver of value creaon, focusing on stronger, transparent relaonships with suppliers and responsible sourcing choices (e.g. animal welfare) that enhance reputaon and resilience. Establishing, developing and evaluang Corporate Culture (G1-1_01/G1/G1-1/9) The Group's corporate culture is based on the "ETHOS" value system, which is the cornerstone of the business model and defines the framework of principles that govern its operaon. These values are incorporated into the Code of Ethics and Conduct and guide the way in which the Group interacts with its employees, partners, customers and consumers, ensuring an environment of cooperaon and responsibility. In the context of corporate culture governance: o The Regulatory Compliance Unit is responsible for formulang and developing the framework of principles and the Code. o The Human Resources Department is responsible for promong, communicang and training the Group's people in these values. o The Internal Audit Unit is responsible for assessing their integraon and implementaon in the Group's procedures. The Group's Values ("ETHOS") The acronym "ETHOS", derived from the Greek word "Ήθος", reflects the quality of the Group's principles and beliefs. The five fundamental values that comprise it are as follows: “Excellence” Connuous progress and commitment to quality are fundamental values for the Group. The goal is connuous improvement and the provision of exceponal soluons. By strengthening teamwork, the right condions are created for each execuve to respond to challenges producvely, in a culture that promotes the maximum ulizaon of human resources. Trust Cooperaon within the Group is based on trust and transparency. The Group seeks to build mutually beneficial relaonships by maintaining honest communicaon and honoring its commitments, with results that reflect its integrity. “Humbleness” Simplicity and modesty characterize the Group's operaons.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 152 Sustainability Business acvity is based on social responsibility and ethical entrepreneurship. The Group operates with respect for diversity, human rights and local communies, aiming to create long-term value for all stakeholders. Group Business Ethics and Conduct Policies (G1-1_01-11/G1/G1-1/10a-h) The Group is commied to applying high standards of business conduct, incorporang clear policies and procedures that ensure compliance with the legal and regulatory framework. It implements policies and mechanisms covering ethical business pracces, transparency and responsible corporate governance, as set out in the Operang Regulaons, the Code of Conduct, the Internal Control System and the Report and Complaint Management procedures. Reporng, invesgaon and protecon mechanisms (whistleblowing) For the effecve implementaon of the Code and the prevenon of violaons, the Group has established and implements the Report and Complaint Management Policy (Speak Up Policy). This Policy serves as the central mechanism for idenfying and combang incidents, explicitly covering cases of gross negligence, suspected fraud, corrupon and bribery (in line with the United Naons Convenon against Corrupon), as well as acons that are contrary to the Group's values. At the same me, it is fully harmonized with Direcve (EU) 2019/1937 and naonal legislaon on the protecon of persons reporng breaches. Submission procedure and channels The Compliance Manager has been appointed as the Reporng Officer (RO). The handling of each report depends on its subject maer and may involve cooperaon with other responsible departments or external experts, depending on the nature of the case. The process is based on strict safeguards and ensures the anonymity, confidenality and protecon of whistleblowers. Employees, associates and any interested party have mulple channels at their disposal for subming named or anonymous reports, including: o Electronic plaorm: Submission via a special, secure online plaorm. o Email: Direct communicaon with the YPPA via a dedicated email address. o Telephone line: Available on predetermined days and mes. o Postal leer: Sent to a special address of the Group. o Printed submission: Opon of internal submission via a special form. Training and informaon The Group provides ongoing informaon and training to employees on the Report and Complaint Management Policy and the available safeguards. At the same me, execuves involved in complaint management receive specialized training to ensure objecvity and independence during the invesgaon. Protecon and non-retaliaon framework A key priority of the mechanism is the absolute protecon of whistleblowers. The Group has a strict zero-tolerance policy on retaliaon (such as dismissal, demoon, inmidaon), providing legal and advisory support where necessary. Cases are handled with strict confidenality and controlled access to informaon, ensuring anonymity and integrity of the process at every stage. Animal rights policy The Group complies with European Direcves on the protecon of animal rights and does not conduct animal tesng during the development of new products. Furthermore, it does not collaborate with laboratories that conduct animal tesng, and its products do not contain harmful ingredients. However, it has not established a formal, wrien policy covering animal rights. Training and awareness on business conduct The Group provides ongoing training on ethical issues, focusing on understanding the Corporate Values ("ETHOS") and the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 153 The training framework is universal and uniform for all human resources, ensuring that all employees, regardless of hierarchical level or funconal unit (including high-risk units), have the same level of understanding of the principles and standards of ethical behavior. The frequency and flow of training are determined by two main axes: 1. During onboarding: Every new hire receives mandatory training on the Code and Values as part of their integraon into the work environment. 2. During updates: In cases where the Code of Ethics and Conduct or related policies are revised, the Human Resources Department implements targeted informaon and retraining programs, ensuring that all employees are aware of the changes and new compliance requirements. High-risk areas for corrupon and bribery The funcons most exposed to risks of corrupon and bribery include Procurement, Cash Management, and Business Negoaons. In these areas, the Group applies strict controlssuch as segregaon of dues, approval limits, and authorizaon hierarchies—which are reflected in the relevant policies and procedures. Day-to-day implementaon of these controls is the responsibility of the heads of the respecve departments. The Group has established procedures for invesgang incidents of inappropriate business conduct, including corrupon and bribery. Invesgaons are conducted promptly, independently, and objecvely, with the level of scruny adjusted according to the nature and severity of each case. When necessary, invesgaons may be supported by competent internal funcons and/or external experts, in accordance with principles of confidenality and non- retaliaon. The Internal Audit Unit periodically reviews the design and operaonal effecveness of the control framework and the associated invesgaon processes, strengthening transparency, accountability, and integrity across the Group’s acvies. Compliance and performance indicators 2025 The table below presents the Group's compliance results for the year 2025 with regard to business ethics, corrupon and legal sancons: Indicator Category 2025 Results Comments/Clarificaons Confirmed incidents of corrupon or bribery 0 No incidents recorded.

Independent Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report on the Sustainability Statement
Independent Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report on the Sustainability Statement KPMG Certified Auditors S.A. 44, Syngrou Avenue 117 42 Athens, Greece Telephone +30 210 6062100 Fax +30 210 6062111 Email: info@kpmg.gr Independent Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report (Translated from the original in Greek) To the Shareholders of GR. SARANTIS S.A. Independent Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report on the Sustainability Statement of GR. SARANTIS S.A. We have performed a limited assurance engagement in relation to the consolidated Sustainability Statement of GR. SARANTIS S.A. (hereafter the “Group”), which is included in the section “SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT” of the consolidated Board of Directors Report (hereafter the “Sustainability Statement”), for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Limited assurance conclusion Based on the procedures performed, as this is described in the “Summary of the work we performed”, as well as the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that: the Sustainability Statement has not been prepared, in all material respect, in accordance with the article 154 of L. 4548/2018 as this was amended with the L. 5164/2024 and as in force, with which the article 29(a) of EU Directive 2013/34/EU has been transposed into Greek legislation, the Sustainability Statement does not comply with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (hereafter “ESRS”), in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023 and EU Directive 2022/2464/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022, the process followed by the Company for the identification and the assessment of significant risks and opportunities (hereafter “the Process”), as set out in Note 2.13 of the Sustainability Statement, does not comply with the “Disclosure Requirement IRO-1 - Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities” of ESRS 2 “General Disclosures”, the disclosures of section 2.13 of the Sustainability Statement do not comply with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852. Basis for conclusion We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” (hereafter “ISAE 3000”). The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities” section of our report. Professional Ethics and Quality Management We are independent of the Company throughout this engagement and have complied with the requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), the ethics and independence requirements of Law 4449/2017 and Regulation (EU) 537/2014. Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, “Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements” and consequently maintains a comprehensive quality management system that includes documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. Responsibilities of management for the Sustainability Statement Management of the Company is responsible for designing and implementing a process to identify the required information reported in the Sustainability Statement in accordance with the ESRS, as well as for disclosing this process in Note 2.13 of the Sustainability Statement. More specifically, this responsibility includes: understanding the context in which the Company’s and the Group’s activities and business relationships take place and developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders; identifying the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect, or could reasonably be expected to affect, the Company’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to finance or cost of capital of the Company and the Group over the short-, medium-, or long-term; assessing the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to sustainability matters by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and developing assumptions that are reasonable in the circumstances. Management of the Company and the Group is responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, in accordance with article 154 of Law 4548/2018, as amended by Law 5164/2024 and as in force, which incorporated article 29(a) of EU Directive 2013/34/EU into Greek legislation. In this context, the Management of the Company and the Group is responsible for: compliance of the Sustainability Statement with the ESRS; preparing the disclosures in section 2.13 of the Sustainability Statement, in compliance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852; designing and implementing appropriate internal controls that management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statement such that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
selecting and applying appropriate sustainability reporting methods, including assumptions and estimates about individual sustainability disclosures in the Sustainability Statement, that are reasonable in the circumstances. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the process for the preparation of the Company's Sustainability Statement. Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Statement As stated in Note 2.13 to the Sustainability Statement, the Group recognizes that certain quantitative measures and monetary valuations included in the Sustainability Report are subject to a high level of uncertainty due to the estimation methods used. In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, Management of the Company is required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the Company and the Group. The actual outcome of these actions is likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected. As stated in Note 2.13 to the Sustainability Statement, the information incorporated in the relevant disclosures is based, among other things, on climate-related scenarios, which are subject to inherent uncertainty regarding the likelihood, timing or impact of potential future natural and transitional climate-related impacts. Our work covered the matters specified in the “Scope of Work Performed” section to obtain limited assurance based on the procedures included in the Program mentioned in the relevant section. Our work does not constitute an audit or review of historical financial information in accordance with applicable International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements, and for this reason we do not express any other assurance beyond that set out in the “Scope of Work Performed” section. Auditor’s Responsibilities This limited assurance report has been prepared based on the provisions of article 154C of Law 4548/2018 and article 32A of Law 4449/2017. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error and is considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Statement as a whole. In the context of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISA 3000 (Revised), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the engagement. Our responsibilities regarding the Sustainability Statement, in relation to the Process, include: conducting risk assessment procedures, including understanding the relevant internal controls, to identify risks related to whether the Process followed by the Company and the Group to determine the information reported in the Sustainability Statement does not meet the applicable requirements of the ESRS, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of internal controls over the Process; and
designing and performing procedures to evaluate whether the Process for identifying the information reported in the Sustainability Statement is consistent with the description of the Process as disclosed in Note 2.13 of the Sustainability Statement. We are further responsible for: Performing risk assessment procedures, including understanding relevant internal control, to identify those disclosures that are likely to be materially misstated, whether due to fraud or error, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion about the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control. Designing and performing procedures relevant to those disclosures in the (consolidated) Sustainability Statement where material misstatements are likely to arise. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Scope of work performed Our engagement includes performing procedures and obtaining audit evidence in order to express a limited assurance conclusion and covers exclusively the limited assurance procedures provided for in the program of limited assurance which was issued with the Decision number 262 of the Hellenic Accounting and Auditing Standards Oversight Board on 22.01.2025, as it was formulated for the purpose of issuing a limited assurance report on the Sustainability Statement of the Company and the Group. Our procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion and do not provide all the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of assurance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT KPMG Certified Auditors S.A. 44, Syngrou Avenue 117 42 Athens, Greece Telephone +30 210 6062100 Fax +30 210 6062111 Email: info@kpmg.gr Independent Auditor’s Report (Translated from the original in Greek) To the Shareholders of GR. SARANTIS S.A. Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements of GR. SARANTIS S.A. (the “Company”) which comprise the Separate and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2025, the Separate and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate and consolidated financial position of GR. SARANTIS S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at 31 December 2025 and its separate and consolidated financial performance and its separate and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA), as incorporated in Greek legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the requirements of the applicable legislation and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters, that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters and the relevant significant assessed risks of material misstatement were addressed in the context of our audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Impairment Assessment of Goodwill, Trademarks and Investments in subsidiaries See Note 4.7.6, 4.8.1.2, 4.8.4, 4.8.5, 4.10.2, 4.10.3, 4.10.21 to the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit As of 31 December 2025, the Group has Regarding this matter, our audit procedures recognized “Goodwill” amounting to EUR included, among others, the following: 14.4 million and “Intangible Assets” 1) We examined management’s assessment (trademarks) amounting to EUR 81.6 million and analysis regarding the existence of in the consolidated financial statements. indications of impairment of the investments in subsidiaries.

We assessed the financial statements. reasons for any deviations, and we evaluated their potential impact on future performance. Finally, we assessed the appropriateness and the adequacy of the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements, regarding the above issues. Other Information The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board of Directors’ Report, for which reference is made in the “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” and the Declarations of the Members of the Board of Directors but does not include the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements and our Auditor’s Report thereon. Our opinion on the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon as part of our engagement to audit the separate and consolidated financial statements. We have performed
an assurance engagement on the Sustainability Statement that forms part of the other information and provided a separate assurance practitioner’s conclusion thereon that is included within the other information. In connection with our audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company and the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs which have been incorporated in Greek legislation will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, which have been incorporated in Greek legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on these Group Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 1 Board of Directors’ Report The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors’ Report and the Sustainability Report and the Corporate Governance Statement that are included in this report for listed entities. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Board of Directors’ Report and we do not express an audit opinion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors’ Report and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 1, cases aa and b, of article 154C of L. 4548/2018 and case ab, which does not include the Sustainability Report and for which we have issued on date 11 March 2026 a relevant limited assurance report in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised)], we note that: (a) The Board of Directors’ Report includes a Corporate Governance Statement which provides the information set by Article 152 of L. 4548/2018. (b) In our opinion, the Board of Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements of Articles 150 and 153 of L. 4548/2018, excluding the requirement for the submission of the Sustainability Report of paragraph 5A of Article 150 of the same law, and its contents correspond with the accompanying Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. (c) Based on the knowledge acquired during our audit, relating to GR.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 181 Business activity The Group is active in the production and trade of cosmetics, household products and pharmaceutical items. The Group’s main activities have not changed since the previous fiscal year .4.7 BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4.7.1 Compliance with IFRS The consolidated and individual financial statements of “Gr. Sarantis S.A.” are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as their interpretations, which have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of IASB and have been adopted by the European Union . 4.7.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements The consolidated and parent financial statements of “Gr. Sarantis S.A.” have been compiled on the basis of the “going concern” principle and on the basis of the historical cost principle, apart from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which based on the requirements of IFRS are measured at fair value, as well as self-utilized and investment properties for which the fair value method has been selected in accordance with the relevant Standards. 4.7.3 Approval of financial statements The annual consolidated and individual financial statements have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors on March 11, 2026 and are subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. 4.7.4 Covered period The present consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of "Gr. Sarantis S.A." and its subsidiaries, which together are referred to as the Group, and cover the period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. 4.7.5 Presentation of financial statements The present financial statements are presented in Euro (€), which is the Group’s operating currency, namely the currency of the primary economic environment in which the parent company operates. 4.7.6 Significant judgments and Estimates by the Management The Group and the Company make estimates and assumptions related to the future. Therefore these estimates will rarely be identical to actual events. The estimates and assumptions that involve a significant revaluation risk in the book value of assets and liabilities in the subsequent period are reported below. The estimates and assumptions are continually revalued and rely on past evidence and experience, adjusted in line with current market conditions and other factors, including expectations for future events that are considered reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results may differ from the above estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions relating to future and other principal sources of uncertainty at the date of preparation of the financial statements, which present a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are as follows: Impairment of goodwill The Group and the Company assess whether there is any impairment of goodwill at least on an annual basis. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the value in use of each cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. Estimated value in use requires the Group and the Company to estimate the future cash flows of the cash- generating units and to select the appropriate discount rate, based on which the present value of the future cash flows will be determined. An analysis regarding the impairment test is included in note 4.10.3. Impairment Assessment of Investments in Subsidiaries The Company examines at each reporting period whether there are indications of impairment in the value of investments in subsidiaries. Where there are relevant indications, the Company conducts an impairment test based on its accounting policy. The key estimates made by Management in calculating the recoverable amount relate to the
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 182 estimation of future cash flows, which depends on a variety of factors, including sales expectations in future periods, cost estimates and the use of an appropriate discount rate. Estimation of the useful life of assets The Group and the Company estimate the useful life of tangible and intangible assets. These estimates are reviewed at least on an annual basis, taking into account new circumstances and market conditions. Own used assets Regarding land and buildings, the determination of fair value is carried out by approved independent appraisers based on international standards and guidelines (such as RICS Valuation - Professional Standards 2017), taking into account comparable data of recent or even older property transaction prices in the broader area of the properties, if available, or using the Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) method, as well as specific characteristics such as location, size, construction quality, and maintenance condition. The frequency of revaluations depends on changes in the estimated fair value of the properties in relation to the accounting value. When the change is material, a revaluation is carried out. During the current fiscal year, an approved independent appraiser carried out a revaluation of the land and buildings of the subsidiaries: Sarantis Polska S.A., Polipak SP. Z.O.O, and Stella Pack S.A. in Poland, Sarantis Romania S.A. in Romania, and Ergopack L.L.C. in Ukraine. Detailed information on fair value measurement is included in note 4.8.6. Investment property The fair value determination is carried out by approved independent appraisers based on international standards and guidelines (e.g. RICS Valuation - Professional Standards 2017), taking into account comparative evidence of recent or past real estate prices in the wider real estate area, if available, or by using the depreciated replacement cost (DRC) method, as well as its specific features such as location, size, quality construction and maintenance status. These valuations are reassessed at least annually. On December 31, 2025, a revaluation was carried out by an approved independent appraiser (with a valuation date of December 31, 2025) for the investment properties of the Company, as well as those of its subsidiaries Polipak SP. Z.O.O and Stella Pack S.A. in Poland, and Sarantis Romania S.A. in Romania. A fair value measurement analysis is included in note 4.8.7. Assets with right of use The Group's most significant estimates regarding right-of-use assets relate to the determination of the existence of leases in specific transactions, the terms of renewal of leases and the determination of the discount rate. Income Tax Provision The income tax provision under IAS 12 "Income Taxes" relates to the amounts of taxes that are expected to be paid to the tax authorities and includes the provision for current income tax and the provision for any additional taxes that may arise as a result of control by the tax authorities. Group companies are subject to different income tax laws and therefore significant management assessment is required to determine the Group's income tax income. Income tax expense may differ from these estimates due to future changes in tax legislation, significant changes in the laws of the countries in which the Group and the Company operate or unforeseen consequences from the final determination of the tax liability of each fiscal year by the tax authorities .These changes may have a significant impact on the Group's and Company's financial position. In the event that the resulting additional taxes are different from the amounts initially recorded, these differences will affect income tax and deferred tax provisions in the use that has been made to determine tax differences. Deferred tax receivables Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the event of temporary differences between the book value and the tax base of assets and liabilities using the tax rates that have been enacted and are expected to apply in the periods when these differences are expected to be eliminated. Deferred tax receivables are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and tax losses transferred to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available and will be used against the deductible temporary differences and the transferred unused tax losses. The Group and the Company take into account the existence of future taxable income and follow a continuous conservative tax planning strategy in assessing the recovery of deferred tax receivables. Accounting estimates related
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 183 to the deferred tax receivables require the management to make assumptions about the timing of future events, such as the probability of expected future taxable income and the available tax planning capabilities. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of their acquisition cost and their net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business of the Group companies less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. The Group's management makes estimates to calculate any provision for inventory impairment, which includes, among other factors, the inventory's obsolescence, its movement during the period, the planning for the next period, and the estimation of future selling prices. For the recognition of provisions for the year 2025, see note 4.10.4. Provisions for expected credit losses from customer receivables and contract assets The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, according to which the provision for impairment is always measured at the amount of the expected credit losses over the life of the receivables from customers. At each balance sheet date, the historical percentages used and the estimates of the future financial situation are updated. The correlation between the historical data, the future financial situation and the expected credit losses includes significant estimates. The amount of expected credit losses depends to a large extent on the changes in the conditions and forecasts of the future financial situation. In cases where there are respective indications for certain customers, the estimates are being performed on a more specific basis taking these indications into account. In addition, past experience and forecasts for the future may not lead to conclusions indicative of the actual amount of customer default in the future. Further analysis is included in note 4.10.5. Liabilities in relation to post-employment benefits The present value of the pension benefits of defined benefit plans is based on a number of factors identified using actuarial methods and assumptions. Such actuarial assumptions are the discount rate used to calculate the cost of provision and the rate of wage increases. Any changes in these assumptions will affect the balance of pension liabilities. The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each financial year. This is defined as the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows that are expected to be required to meet pension plan liabilities. For determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company uses the interest rate on low-risk corporate bonds that are converted into the currency in which the liability will be paid and whose maturity date is close to that of the relevant pension liability. Further analysis is included in note 4.10.23. Business combinations When acquiring a company, the fair value and useful life of the acquired tangible and intangible assets are determined, where estimations are required. Future events could lead to changes in the assumptions used by the Group, which could have an impact on the Group's results and equity. Contingent liabilities The Group and the Company are involved in various disputes and legal proceedings. The Group and the Company review the status of each significant case on a periodic basis and evaluate the potential economic risk, based on the views of legal advisers. If the potential loss from any litigation or legal case is considered probable and the amount can be estimated reliably, the Group and the Company calculate a provision for the estimated loss. Both the determination of the probability and the determination of whether the risk can be reliably estimated require the management's judgment to a significant degree. When additional information becomes available, the Group and the Company reconsider the potential liability for outstanding litigation and legal affairs and may review the estimates of the probability of an adverse effect and the related estimate of potential loss. Such revisions to the estimates of the potential liabilities may have a significant impact on the Group's and Company's financial position and results. 4.7.7 New Accounting Policies The material accounting policies that were adopted in the preparation of the financial statements of the Group are presented in the note 4.8. The policies are applied on a consistent manner for all annual periods unless it is stated otherwise. a. New International financial reporting standards, interpretations and amendments to Standards effective and endorsed by the EU From 1st January 2025 the Group has adopted all amendments in IFRS as these were adopted by the European Union (“EU”) which relate to its operations.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 184 IAS 21 (Amendments) “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability” (effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2025) In August 2023, IASB published amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” which require companies to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency is not exchangeable to another currency. The amendments introduce a definition of the “exchangeability” of a currency and provide guidance on how an entity should estimate a spot exchange rate in cases where a currency is not exchangeable. Also, additional disclosures are required in cases where an entity has estimated a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability. This amendment has no impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. b. New International financial reporting standards, amendments to Standards and interpretations not yet effective or not endorsed by the EU The following New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet effective for annual periods starting 1st January 2025. The Group does not intend to adopt the following New IFRS, Amendments and Interpretations before their effective date as indicated below. IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2027) In April 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new standard, IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’. The new accounting standard introduces the following key requirements: o Entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statement of profit or loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly-defined operating profit subtotal. Entities’ net profit will not change. o Management-defined performance measures (MPMs) are disclosed in a single note in the financial statements. o Enhanced guidance is provided on how to group information in the financial statements. In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subset as the starting point for the cash flow statement when presenting operating cash flows using the indirect method. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This Standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2027) In May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new standard, IFRS 19, which permits a subsidiary, that does not have public accountability and has a parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards to provide reduced disclosures when applying IFRS Accounting Standards in its financial statements. An eligible subsidiary that applies IFRS 19 is required to apply the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards for recognition, measurement and presentation requirements; however, for disclosure requirements, it applies IFRS 19 instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards, except in specified circumstances. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. The amendments that become mandatorily effective in future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 185 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). The amendments are effective for annual periods on or after 1 January 2026. The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the “settlement date” and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Moreover, clarifications have been made, with regards to the key characteristics of contractually linked instruments and how they differ from financial assets with non-recourse features, as well as to include factors that a company needs to consider when assessing the cash flows underlying a financial asset with non-recourse features (the “look-through” test). The amendments also require additional disclosures for investments in equity instruments that are measured at fair value with gains or losses presented in other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. The amendments that become mandatorily effective in future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards (Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7 effective from 1 January 2026) In the annual improvements Volume 11 issued on 18 July 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) makes minor amendments that include clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes to the following Accounting Standards: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: - Gain or loss on derecognition - Disclosure of differences between the fair value and the transaction price - Disclosures on credit risk IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: - Derecognition of lease liabilities - Transaction price IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - Determination of a ‘de facto agent’ IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows - Cost Method. The amendments to IFRS 9 address: a conflict between IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers over the initial measurement of trade receivables; and how a lessee accounts for the derecognition of a lease liability under IFRS 9. The amendment on derecognition of lease liabilities applies only to lease liabilities extinguished on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the amendment is first applied. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Earlier application is permitted. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. The amendments that become mandatorily effective in future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity” (Effective from 1 January 2026) On 18 December 2024, the IASB published Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. The objective of the Amendments is to better reflect the effects of physical and virtual nature-dependent electricity contracts in the financial statements.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 186 More specifically, the amendments include: clarifying the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements permitting hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments adding new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows These amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 with earlier application permitted. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. The amendments that become mandatorily effective in future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. Amendments to IAS 21 – “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency” (Effective from January 1, 2027) In November 2025, IASB published amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency”. The amendments are introduced in order to clarify how companies should translate financial statements from a non-hyperinflationary functional currency into a hyperinflationary presentation one. More specifically, under the final amendments a company with a non-hyperinflationary functional currency, but a hyperinflationary presentation currency, translates all the financial statement amounts (including comparatives) using the closing rate at the latest reporting date. In addition, guidance is provided for a company with hyperinflationary functional and presentation currencies that has a foreign operation with a non-hyperinflationary functional currency. Additional disclosure requirements are also introduced. These amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standards and amendments on their financial statements. The amendments that become mandatorily effective in future periods are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. 4.8 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION 4.8.1 Consolidation 4.8.1.1 Business CombinationsBusiness combinations are accounted for by the Group using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a specific set of activities and assets constitutes a business, the Group evaluates whether the acquired set of assets and activities includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process, and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs. A business combination involving entities under common control is one where all the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination and this control is not temporary. For the purpose of fair presentation, in the case of a subsidiary being absorbed by the parent, for which consolidated financial statements were prepared, the parent’s individual financial statements at the time of absorption are the consolidated financial statements of the entities immediately before the absorption (predecessor accounting method). The adopted method is followed for all transactions and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group has the option to apply a "concentration test" that allows for a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets does not constitute a business. The optional concentration test is met if virtually all of the fair value of the acquired gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized in the income statement. The difference between the acquisition price, plus the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any pre-existing interests and the fair value at the
187 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 acquisition date of the acquired subsidiary’s net assets is recognized as goodwill. Any goodwill arising is tested for impairment annually (see note 4.8.4). The acquisition cost includes: the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed or existing towards the former shareholders, the equity interests issued by the Group, the fair value of any potential claims or liabilities arising from the transaction and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary Any gain from a bargain purchase is recognized directly in the income statement. Transaction costs are accounted for as expenses when incurred, unless they relate to the issuance of debt or equity securities. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the subsidiary at the value of the non-controlling interest’s share of the subsidiary’s net equity. 4.8.1.2 Subsidiaries The Group's subsidiaries are legal entities over which the Group exercises control. The Group exercises control over a company when it is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the company and has the ability to affect those returns through its control. Subsidiaries are consolidated using full consolidation from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which such control is lost. The Company records investments in subsidiaries in its individual financial statements at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisitions of the subsidiaries by the Group. 4.8.1.3 Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profits or losses and net identifiable assets that are not owned by the Company. The Group recognizes the value of the non-controlling interest rights as a percentage of the minority shareholders' share of the net assets acquired. Changes in the Group's ownership percentage in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The difference between the consideration paid and the acquired share of the subsidiary's net book value of equity is recognized in a separate reserve within equity. 4.8.1.4 Assets held for sale Assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when it is highly probable that their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Such assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss relating to a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill and subsequently to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses arising upon initial classification as held for sale, as well as any subsequent gains or losses from remeasurement, are recognized in the income statement. Upon classification as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, respectively, and investments previously accounted for using the equity method cease to be accounted for under that method.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 188 4.8.2 Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the operating currency using exchange rates in effect during the date of the transactions. Profit and losses from foreign exchange difference, which arise from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency with the effective exchange rates during the balance sheet date, are registered in the results. Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items valued at fair value are considered as part of the fair value and thus are registered accordingly as fair value differences. The financial statement items of the Group’s companies are calculated based on the currency of the economic environment of the country where each company of the Group operates. The individual financial statements of the companies participating in the consolidation, which are initially presented in a currency different than the Group’s presentation currency, have been converted into Euro. The assets and liabilities have been converted into Euro according to the closing exchange rate during the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses have been converted to the Group’s presentation currency at average exchange rates of each reported period. Any differences that arise from this procedure have been transferred to an equity reserve . 4.8.3 Financial information by segment The company’s Board of Directors is the main decision maker and controls the internal financial reporting in order to assess the Company’s and Group’s performance and make decisions relating to the allocation of resources. The Management has defined activity sectors based on such internal reports according to IFRS 8. Operating segments are defined as the segments in which the Group operates and on which the Group’s internal information system is based. For the breakdown per operating segment, the following have been taken into account: - The nature of products and services - The quantitative thresholds set by IFRS 8 The Group provides information by geographical segment as supplementary information to users of the financial statements. 4.8.4 Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially recognized at cost, which is the excess cost of the combination, over the Group’s proportion in the fair value of net assets acquired (see note 4.8.1.1). After initial recognition, goodwill is calculated at cost minus any accumulated impairment losses. The Group proceeds with an impairment test concerning the goodwill at least on an annual basis. The book value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount which is the higher between the value in use and the fair value less any selling costs. Any impairment loss recorded for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. 4.8.5 Intangible assets Intangible assets of the Group are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Intangible assets are recognized in business combinations if they are separated from the acquired entity or generate other contractual / legal rights. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are calculated at cost minus accumulated amortization and any impairment loss that may have emerged.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 189 Research costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred. Development costs are capitalized only when the expenditure can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and economically feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group has the intention and possesses sufficient resources to complete the development process and use or sell the asset. Otherwise, they are recognized in the income statement. After initial recognition, development costs are measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful economic life and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of each financial period. If the estimated useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in another intangible asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations. The amortization of the intangible fixed assets is calculated with the straight line method along their economic life, depending on the utilization time of the intangible assets and varies between 3 and 50 years. Specifically, the main categories of intangible assets are as follows: a)Trademarks which refer to rights in relation to trademarks / products which were recognized during the acquisitions of the Group with useful economic life between 3 and 50 years, b) Software, which useful economic life is between 3 and 22 years and c) Research and development costs, which useful economic life is 10 years. 4.8.6 Tangible assets Tangible assets are recognized at the acquisition cost including all expenses directly attributed to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenses are registered as an increase of the tangible assets’ book value or as a separate fixed asset, only to the extent where such expenses increase the future economic benefits expected to arise from the use of the fixed assets, and the cost of such may be reliably calculated. The cost of repairs and maintenance is registered in the results of the period where such are realized. Self-produced tangible assets constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at values that include the direct payroll cost for staff that participates in the construction, the cost of used materials and other general costs. Tangible fixed assets under construction are included in tangible assets and depreciation starts when they are available for use. The cost includes the construction cost, third-party fees and other direct expenses, as well as capitalized borrowing costs, provided specific conditions are met. Land and buildings are presented in the financial statements at readjusted values minus accumulated depreciations. The fair value of land and buildings is defined periodically by an independent evaluator. These revaluations are performed at regular intervals to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using the fair value at the end of the reporting period. When the book values of the land and buildings exceed their fair value, the difference (impairment) is initially recorded in a reduction of the formed reserve of fair value (if it exists for the respective fixed asset) which is reflected in the equity accounts. Any impairment loss arising in addition to the accumulated provision for that asset is recognized immediately as an expense in the income statement. During the current financial year, an independent approved appraiser carried out a valuation of the land and buildings of the subsidiaries Sarantis Polska S.A., Polipak SP. Z O.O. and Stella Pack S.A. in Poland, Sarantis Romania S.A. in Romania, and Ergopack L.L.C. in Ukraine. The mechanical equipment and other tangible fixed assets are presented at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciations and possible impairment losses. The depreciations of tangible fixed assets are calculated with the straight line method during their useful life, which is as follow s:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 190
Buildings from 10 to 60 years
Mechanical Equipment from 3 to 20 years
Transportation Means from 4 to 10 years
Other Equipment from 3 to 20 years
The residual values and useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each reporting date of the statement of financial position. When the residuals values, the expected useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in an asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations. Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss to the results. The book value of tangible fixed assets is examined for impairment when there are indications, namely events or changes in circumstances, that the book value may not be recoverable. If there is such an indication and the book value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash flow creation units are impaired to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the mechanical equipment and other equipment is the largest between their net sales price and their value in use. For the calculation of the value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the market’s current expectations for the time value of money and related risks as regards to the asset. When the book values of tangible assets exceed their recoverable value, the difference (impairment) is recognized directly as an expense in the profit and loss account.
4.8.7 Investments in property The investments in property include privately owned land and buildings, which are possessed by the Group and the Company with the objective to receive lease payments or / and to generate capital gains. The investments in property are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, which also includes the transaction costs. Subsequent to their initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value, with changes in the carrying amount recognized in the profit or loss statement. The fair value of investment properties is based on a revaluation conducted by approved independent appraisers. Subsequent expenditures are added to the carrying amount of the property only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the property will flow to the Group or the Company, and the related costs can be measured reliably. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Investment properties cease to be recognized when they are sold or when their use as an investment property is definitively discontinued, and no economic benefit is expected from their sale. If an investment property is converted into owner-occupied property, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment and its fair value at the date of reclassification is determined as its acquisition cost for accounting purposes. If a property asset is reclassified from property plant and equipment to an investment property due to a change in its use, any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value at the date of transfer is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment in the "Revaluation Reserve" under IAS 16. However, if a gain from fair value measurement reverses prior impairment losses, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss to the extent it reverses a previously recognized impairment loss. Any remaining gain is recognized in other comprehensive income, increasing the revaluation reserve in equity. The loss is recognized in profit or loss. However, to the extent that there is an amount in the revaluation reserve, the loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and reduces the reserve in equity. The Group's investment properties include land and buildings of the Company as well as its subsidiaries: Polipak SP.Z.O.O and Stella Pack S.A. in Poland and Sarantis Romania S.A. in Romania.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 191 On December 31, 2025, a valuation was performed by an independent certified valuer (with a valuation date of December 31, 2025) in respect of the Company’s investment properties, as well as those of its subsidiaries Polipak SP. Z O.O. and Stella Pack S.A. in Poland, and Sarantis Romania S.A. in Romania. 4.8.8 Impairment of non-financial assets Assets with an indefinite useful economic life are not depreciated and are subject to impairment reviews annually and also when several events or changes in conditions indicate that the book value may not be recoverable. The assets depreciated are subject to impairment review when there are indications that their book value will not be recovered. Impairment losses are recognized for the amount for which the book value of the fixed asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value is the largest between fair value less the relevant cost required for the sale and value in use (present value of cash flows expected to be generated according to management’s estimation on the future financial and operating conditions). For the purpose of impairment loss assessment, assets are grouped into the smallest possible cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized directly in the profit or loss, unless the asset is presented at revalued amount, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that it does not exceed the amount remaining in the revaluation surplus for that asset. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that have been subject to impairment are re-evaluated for potential reversal of impairment at each balance sheet date if there are indications that the conditions that led to the recognition of the impairment in previous periods no longer exist. In this case, the recoverable amount of the asset is redefined, and the impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable amount, to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or impairments) had the impairment loss not been recognized in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss on an asset is recognized immediately in the profit or loss, unless the asset is recognized at revalued amount, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income and increases the revaluation surplus for that asset. A reversal of an impairment loss for a cash-generating unit is allocated to the assets of the unit, excluding goodwill, in proportion to the carrying amounts of those assets. Increases in carrying amounts are treated as reversals of impairment losses for individual assets and will be recognized accordingly as described above. In performing impairment tests of investments and goodwill, the Group assesses whether climate-related risks could have a significant impact and, where relevant, reflects these in the cash flow forecasts used to determine value in use. Forecasts incorporate reasonable assumptions on growth, market conditions and, where applicable, climate-related factors (such as weather conditions, energy prices and physical risks), supported by scenario and sensitivity analyses. Based on the assessments performed, no material impairment has been identified in relation to climate risks. 4.8.9 Inventories The cost of inventories is defined using the weighted average method, and includes all the expenses realized in order to render inventories to their current position and condition and which are directly attributable to the production process, as well as part of general expenses related to the production. During the reporting date of the statement of financial position, inventories are presented at the lowest price between acquisition cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal conduct of the company’s activities, minus the estimated cost necessary to realize the sale . 4.8.10 Financial Instruments Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 192 The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of the financial asset and the business model of the Group and the Company for their management. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component, the Group and the Company initially measure financial assets at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not valued through profit or loss, transaction costs. Receivables from customers that do not have a significant financial component are valued at the transaction price determined in accordance with IFRS 15. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through total income, cash flows that are "exclusive capital and interest payments (SPPIs)" of the original capital must be obtained. The Group's and Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to the way in which it manages its financial capabilities to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows arise from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both. The purchase or sale of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within a timeframe specified by a regulation or a contract on the market is recognized on the trade date meaning on the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. For subsequent measurement purposes, financial assets are classified in the following categories: (a) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, (b) Financial assets at amortized cost and (c) Financial assets measured at fair value through total income without recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (a) Financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale or repurchase in the near future. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading, unless defined as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not only capital and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. (b) Financial assets at amortized cost The Group and the Company measure financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is retained in a business model in order to hold financial assets for the collection of contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual clauses of the financial asset generate cash flows on specific dates that consist only of capital and interest payments on the balance of the original capital. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. (c) Financial assets classified at fair value through total income Upon initial recognition, the Group and the Company may choose to irrevocably classify its equity investments as equity instruments at fair value through total income when they meet the definition of equity in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and not held for trading purposes. Classification is determined by financial instrument. Profits and losses from these financial assets are never recycled to profits or losses. Dividends are recognized in the income statement when the payment entitlement has been established, unless the Company benefits from such income as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, so that the gains are recognized in the statement of
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 193 comprehensive income. Equity instruments measured at fair value through total income are not subject to an impairment test. A financial asset is derecognized primarily when: The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or The Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or have undertaken to fully pay the cash flows received without significant delay to a third party under a passthrough agreement and either (a) the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or (b) the Group and the Company have not transferred or held substantially all the risks and estimates of the asset but have transferred the control of the asset. When the Group and the Company have transferred the rights to receive cash flows from an asset or have entered into a transfer agreement, they assess whether and to what extent they own the risks and rewards of ownership. If they have neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of the asset but have retained control, they continue to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of their continuing involvement. In such cases, they also recognize an associated liability, which is measured based on the rights and obligations retained. Further disclosures about impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes: Disclosure on significant assumptions Customers' receivables 4.8.11 Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented in the statement of financial position if there is a legal right to offset the amounts recognized and, in addition, if it is intended to clear the net amount, i.e. fixed assets and liabilities to be offset at the same time. 4.8.12 Trade receivables Receivables from customers are recognized when there is an unconditional right to receive the consideration for the client's contractual obligations to the entity. A contract asset is recognized when the Company and the Group have satisfied their obligations to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment is due, for example when the goods or services are transferred to the customer prior to the Company's right and also the Group’s right to issue an invoice. Receivables from customers on credit are initially recognized at their fair value, which corresponds to the nominal value, net of impairment losses. Regarding non-doubtful trade receivables, the Company and the Group apply the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and calculate the expected credit losses over the life of the receivables. For this purpose, the Group uses a maturity forecast table based on the historical data for credit losses, adjusted for future factors in relation to borrowers and the economic environment. The bad debts are evaluated one by one for the calculation of the relevant provision. The amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Write-offs of trade receivables are carried out through the provision that has been already formed. The write-offs concern overdue receivables for which provision has been made in previous years. The probability of collection of these receivables is low or zero, provided that the necessary legal procedures have been previously exhausted. The final elimination of a trade receivable is performed in line with the recognition requirements of the local tax / trade law. 4.8.13 Cash & cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and on hand, as well as short-term highly liquid investments, such as term deposits with a maturity of less than three months. For the purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows, the time deposits are treated as cash and cash equivalents. Restricted deposits are cash equivalents that are not immediately available for use. These cash equivalents cannot be
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 194 used by the Group or the Company until the occurrence of a specific point in time or of an event in the future. Restricted deposits are included in other receivables in the statement of financial position. 4.8.14 Share Capital Share capital includes the Company’s common shares. Direct expenses realized for the issue of shares are presented after the deduction of the relevant income tax, and reduce the product of the issue. 4.8.15 Treasury Shares The treasury shares refer to shares of the Company, which have been issued and subsequently repurchased by the Company without being cancelled. Treasury shares do not reduce the number of shares issued, but they do reduce the number of shares outstanding. Treasury shares are valued at acquisition cost and are deducted from shareholders’ funds. In the event of cancelation of treasury shares, the acquisition cost reduces the share capital and the treasury reserve and any difference is charged to the balance of retained earnings. 4.8.16 Loans Loans are initially registered at fair value, minus any direct expenses realized for the transaction. Subsequently loans are valued at net book cost. Any difference between the received amount (net of relevant expenses) and the repayment value is recognized in the results during the borrowing term according to the effective interest rate method. Loans are characterized as short-term liabilities unless the Group has the final right to postpone payment for at least 12 months following the balance sheet date. 4.8.17 Leases4.8.17.1 Lease accounting by the lessee Leases are recognized as an asset and a corresponding liability on the date when the leased asset is available for use by the Group and the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is recognized in the profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining liability for each period. The right of use of the asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight- line basis or over the useful life of the asset, if the latter is shorter. Lease liabilities include the present value of the following lease payments: • fixed lease payments (including substantially fixed payments), reduced by any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or an interest rate, which are initially measured using the index or interest rate at the commencement date of the lease term, • amounts expected to be paid by the Company and the Group based on guaranteed residual values, • the exercise price of the purchase option, if it is reasonably certain that the Company and the Group will exercise this option and • the payment of a penalty for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of the Group’s option to terminate the lease At the lease commencement date, the Group and the Company measure the lease liability at the present value of lease payments expected to be paid over the lease term. The lease payments consist of fixed payments (including substantially fixed payments) reduced by any lease incentives receivable. For discounting lease payments, the Group and the Company use the incremental borrowing rate of the Group, as the implicit interest rate of the lease cannot be easily determined. After the lease commencement date, the lease liability increases based on the interest on the liability and decreases with lease payments. Additionally, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured if there are re-estimates or modifications to the lease agreement. The Group and the Company have lease contracts for land, buildings, machinery, vehicles, and other equipment used in their activities. The right-of-use assets are measured and subject to impairment testing as described in note 4.8.8.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 195 Payments made for short-term operating leases (less than 12 months) or leases of low value are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises: (a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; (b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; (c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and (d) an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. 4.8.17.2 Lease accounting by the lessor At the commencement date of a lease, the Group and the Company, acting as lessors, classify each lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease based on specific criteria. Leases in which the lessor does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset is classified as a finance lease. Finance Leases At the commencement date, the Group and the Company derecognize the carrying amount of the underlying assets subject to finance leases and recognize a receivable amount equal to the net investment in the lease, as well as a gain or loss in the income statement from derecognizing the asset and recognizing the net investment in the lease. The net investment in the lease is calculated as the present value of future lease payments, similar to the lessee's calculation. After the commencement date, the Group and the Company recognize financial income over the lease term using a method that reflects a constant periodic return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. The Group and the Company also recognize income from variable payments that were not included in the net investment. After commencement, the net investment in the lease is not remeasured unless the lease is modified or the lease term changes. Operating Leases The Group and the Company continue to recognize the underlying asset and do not recognize a net investment in the lease in the Financial Position or initial profit (if any) in the income statement. The Group and the Company recognize lease payments as revenue over the lease term on a straight-line basis. They also recognize expenses related to obtaining lease revenues, including depreciation. The Group and the Company add the initial direct costs incurred to enter into an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognize these costs as expenses over the lease term on the same basis as lease revenues. 4.8.18 Employee benefits 4.8.18.1 Short-term benefits Short-term employee benefits (apart from employment termination benefits) in money and in kind, are recognized as an expense on an accrual basis. 4.8.18.2 Provisions for post - employment employee benefits The Group has both defined benefits and defined contribution schemes, according to the conditions and practices in place in the countries where the Group is active. The defined benefits schemes define a specific amount as pension payment / benefit, which an employee will receive at in his / her retirement. Typically, this depends on a variety of factors such as age, length of service and compensation.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 196 Defined benefits scheme is defined a pension plan where within its framework the Group makes fixed contributions and there is no legal or monetary liability to pay additional contributions in the event that the Fund's merits are insufficient to compensate for the employees’ benefits for the current period and the previous periods. The liability regarding the defined benefit schemes that is recognized in the financial position statement is the present value of the commitment for the defined benefit at the date of the preparation of the financial statements, less the fair value of the assets of the scheme (if any). The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually from an independent actuary using the recommended credit unit's method. The present value of the commitment for the defined benefit is calculated by the discount of future cash outflows using the interest rates of the high-rated treasury bills, which are denominated in the currency at which the benefit will be paid and which have a duration that relates to the duration of the related retirement obligation. The Group recognizes in income statement the current cost of service and net financial income or expense. Revaluations, which are consisted of actuary profits or losses, are recognized immediately in the financial position statement with the relative debit or credit of the retained earnings through the other comprehensive income of the period realized. The reassessments are not reclassified at the results of subsequent periods. For defined benefits schemes the Group pays contributions to the social security funds of the State at obligatory base. The Group does not have any other obligation to pay if it has paid its contributions. The contributions are recognized as personnel expenses when due. Contributions that are pre-paid are recognized as an asset if there is a chance to reimburse the money or to set-off with new obligations. 4.8.18.3 Other long-term employee benefits The Group's obligation regarding other long-term employee benefits is the estimate of the amount of future benefits that employees will earn as compensation for their service in the current and prior periods (see note 4.10.23.2). This amount is discounted to determine its present value. Reassessments are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 4.8.18.4 Share based payments A number of key executives of the Group participate in the Long-Term Incentive Plan (Performance Stock Awards), which was established by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on December 20, 2023, and amended by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 28, 2025. The program provides for the free distribution of the Company’s own shares, subject to the achievement of predetermined Performance Indicator Criteria (PIC) and the fulfillment of service conditions, within the framework of three-year evaluation cycles. It should be noted that: i) the maximum percentage of any short-term plan (Bonus) for each participant in the first year of each cycle does not exceed 50% of the annual fixed remuneration of each participant; and ii) the total value of the shares to be allocated to all participants shall not exceed €900,000 for the first three- year cycle (2023 to 2025), €1,100,000 for the second three-year cycle (2024 to 2026), and €1,900,000 for the third three-year cycle (2025 to 2027). In any case, the total number of shares to be allocated across all three three-year cycles will not exceed 0.7% of the total number of existing shares, i.e. 467,954 shares. The reward will take the form of free shares made available to beneficiaries once the results against the specified targets have been assessed and approved by the Board of Directors. The reward (remuneration) is recognized as an expense for the executives of the parent company over the period from the grant date to the vesting date of the relevant rights, with a corresponding increase in equity, and as an increase in investments in subsidiaries for the executives of the subsidiaries. The amount recognized is adjusted to reflect the value of the equity instruments for which the relevant service conditions are expected to be satisfied and the performance results up to the vesting date (see Note 4.10.13).
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 197 4.8.19 Recognition of incomeRevenue is recognized at the amount which the Group expects to be entitled to in return for the transfer of goods or services to a customer. Revenue is defined as the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the goods or services it has transferred to a client, except for amounts collected on behalf of third parties (value added tax, other sales tax). Variable amounts are included in the consideration and are calculated using either the "expected value" method or the "most likely amount" method. The Group recognizes revenue when (or as it) meets the obligation to execute a contract by transferring the goods or services promised to the customer. The customer acquires control of the good or service if the customer is able to direct the use and derive virtually all the economic benefits from that good or service. Control is passed over a period or at a specific time. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the good by the customer. The five basic steps for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, according to IFRS 15 are the following: 1. Recognition of the contract with the customer, 2. Recognition of performance commitments 3. Determination of the transaction price, 4. Allocation of transaction price into the performance commitments 5. Revenue recognition as performance commitments are satisfied The Group is active in the production and distribution of consumer products. The main products of the Company and the Group are perfumes, personal care products, suncare products, hair care products as well as food packaging products, plastic garbage bags and household cleaning products. Net proceeds from sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and are declared net of discounts on sales and the consideration paid to customers. These are, in particular, incentives to promote sales which are recorded as deductions from sales. A customer receivable is recognized when there is an unconditional right for the entity to receive the consideration for the contractual obligations performed to the customer. A contract asset is recognized when the Company and the Group have satisfied their obligations to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment is due, for example when the goods or services are transferred to the customer prior to the Company's right and Group to issue an invoice. The contractual obligation is recognized when the Company and the Group receive a consideration from the client (prepayment) or when it retains the right to a price that is unconditional (deferred income) before performing the obligations of the contract and the transfer of the goods or services. The contractual obligation is de-recognized when the contractual obligations are executed and the income is recorded in the income statement. Classification of revenue is as follows: i. Sales of Goods Sales of goods are recognized when the Group delivers the property and risks associated with the ownership of the goods to the customers, the goods are accepted by them and the collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. ii. Interest income Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate. iii. Rental Income Receivables from rentals are recognized in the income statement on the basis of the rental amount corresponding to the period under review.
198 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 iv. Income from Dividends Dividends are recognized as income when the right to receive the dividend is established. 4.8.20 Government grants The Group recognizes the government grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria: there is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and It is probable that the amount of the grant will be received. Government grants that relate to acquisition of fixed assets are presented as a deferred income in liabilities and recognized in the results during the useful life of the fixed assets such refer to. 4.8.21 Contingent Liabilities and Provisions Provisions are booked when the Group has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured. The provisions are reviewed at every balance sheet date and are adjusted so as to reflect the present value of the expense deemed necessary to settle the liability. Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability of an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed if the inflow of economic benefits is probable. 4.8.22 Dividend Distribution Dividend distribution to shareholders of the parent from the period’s profit, are recognized as a liability in the individual and consolidated financial statements on the date when the distribution is approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. 4.8.23 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to the shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year is the number of common shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted by the number of common shares purchased or issued during the year multiplied by a time weighting factor. 4.8.24 Current and deferred taxation The period’s charge with income tax consists of current taxes and deferred taxes. Tax is recognized in the “Statement of comprehensive income”, unless it is related to amounts recognized directly in “Equity”. In the latter case tax is also recognized in Equity. Income tax on earnings, is calculated based on the tax law in effect during the balance sheet date in countries where the Group’s activities are carried out and is recognized as an expense during the period when earnings are gained. Management periodically reviews cases where the relevant tax law needs clarifications when interpreted. When deemed necessary provisions are made on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is calculated according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences between the book value of assets or liabilities in the financial statements with their respective tax base. Deferred income tax is not recorded if such results from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, apart from a business combination, which did not affect the accounting or the tax profit or loss when realized. Deferred tax is defined according to the tax rates and laws in effect during the balance sheet date and those expected to be effective when the deferred tax assets will be realized or the deferred tax liabilities repaid.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 199 Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be future taxable profit for the use of the temporary difference that creates the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the law permits the offsetting of tax assets and liabilities and given that the deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the same tax authority on one entity that is taxed or on different entities when the settlement is intended to take place through offsetting. 4.9 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 4.9.1 Capital Management The Group’s objectives as regards to management of capital, is to reassure the ability for the Group’s smooth operation, aiming at providing satisfactory returns to shareholders and to maintain an ideal capital structure by reducing thus the cost of capital. The Group monitors its capital based on the leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net debt with total employed capital. Net debt is calculated as “Total debt” (including “short`- term and long-term debt” as presented in the Statement of Financial Position) minus “Cash and cash equivalents”, “Financial assets available for sale” and “financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss”. The calculation of net debt does not include the purchase of treasury shares. Total employed capital is calculated as 'Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent' as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. The leverage ratio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was as follows:
Group
Amounts in € 31.12.2025 31.12.2024
Total Debt 42,002,506 59,442,235
Minus
Cash & cash equivalents (62,590,101) (47,356,665)
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (2,949,937) (3,609,955)

Total Employed Capital (A+B) 377,929,825 383,102,728
Leverage Ratio -6.2% 2.2%
4.9.2 Financial Instruments The Group’s financial instruments mainly consist of bank deposits, bank overdrafts, trade debtors and creditors, investments in securities, other liabilities. The financial assets and liabilities during the date of the financial statements can be classified as follows:
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 200 Group Company Amounts in € 31.12.2025 31.12.2024 31.12.2025 31.12.2024 Non-current assets Other long-term receivables 20,119,162 19,734,874 74,540 74,540 Total 20,119,162 19,734,874 74,540 74,540 Current assets

4.9.3 Definition of fair values The following table presents the fixed assets measured at fair value, according to the measurement method. The different categories are as follows: • Published market prices (without amendment or adjustment) for the financial assets traded in active money markets (level 1). • Measurement or valuation techniques based directly on published market prices or calculated indirectly from published market prices for similar instruments (level 2). Measurement or valuation techniques that are not based on available information from current transactions in active money markets (level 3). During the fiscal year there were no transfers between levels 1 and 2, nor transfers in and out of level 3 for purposes of fair value measurement. The financial assets measured at fair value during 31 December 2025, are as follows: Group Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Tangible fixed assets 0 66,261,230 0 66,261,230 Investments in property 0 8,009,881 0 8,009,881 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 2,949,937 0 0 2,949,937 Company Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Tangible fixed assets 0 31,157,178 0 31,157,178 Investments in property 0 1,915,232 0 1,915,232 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 2,949,937 0 0 2,949,937
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 201 The financial assets measured at fair value during 31 December 2024, are as follows:
Group
Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Tangible fixed assets 0 68,284,411 0 68,284,411
Investments in property 0 8,228,721 0 8,228,721

Investments in property 0 2,083,967 0 2,083,967
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 3,609,955 0 0 3,609,955
The fair value of own-used tangible fixed assets (land and buildings) and investments in property is carried out by approved independent appraisers based on international rules and standards, considering comparative data of recent or past realized real estate prices in the wider real estate area if they exist or with the method of depreciated replacement cost (DRC) as well as its special characteristics such as location, size, construction quality and maintenance condition. The fair value of fixed assets traded on active markets (i.e. derivatives, shares, bonds, mutual funds), is defined based on the published prices in effect during the end of the reporting period. A market is considered “Active” when there are available and revised prices in frequent intervals that are published by a stock exchange, broker, sector, rating agency or regulatory authority. Such financial instruments are included in level 1. The fair value of fixed assets not traded on active markets (i.e. over the counter derivative contracts) is defined using valuation techniques that are based primarily on available information for transactions carried out in active markets, while they use the least possible estimations by the entity. Such financial instruments are included in level 2. If the valuation techniques are not based on available market information, then the financial instruments are included in level 3.
4.9.4 Foreign exchange risk Currency risk is the probability that the fair value of a financial instrument's cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group operates in an environment characterized by relatively high foreign exchange risk given that almost 63% of the Group’s total turnover comes from subsidiary companies in the Eastern and Southern European countries where the volatility of foreign exchange rates has recently been high. The main currencies in which transactions are carried out by the Group, besides Euro, are the following: Polish Zloty, Romanian Leu, Serbian Dinar, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Hungarian Forint and Czech Koruna. The Management of the Group is constantly examining the currencies’ fluctuations, and takes appropriate measures where necessary. On 31 December 2025, if the euro had depreciated by 5% against the following currencies, with all other variables remaining constant, the effect on the statement of comprehensive income and on the equity of the Group for each currency separately, would be as follows:
Impact P&L Equity
PLN 598,150 13,426,417
RON 725,268 1,045,595
RSD 214,020 2,075,412
UAH 9,677 896,463
HUF 63,932 254,343
CZK 279,988 935,931
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 202 An appreciation by 5% against the relevant currencies, would have an equivalent but opposite effect on the above currencies with the amounts presented above, given that all other variables remain constant. 4.9.5 Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the possibility that the fair value of a financial instrument's future cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates of the market. The Group’s objective is to achieve an optimal balance between borrowing cost and the potential effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Group monitors and manages its debt and overall financing strategies using a combination of short and long-term debt. It is Group policy to continuously review interest rate trends along with its financing needs. Daily working capital requirements are typically financed with operational cash flow and through the use of various committed lines of credit. The interest rate on these short-term borrowing arrangements, is generally determined as the inter-bank offering rate at the borrowing date plus a pre-set margin. The mix of fixed rate debt and variable-rate debt is managed within Group policy guidelines. Taking into account the Group's debt liabilities linked to variable interest rates, as of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 0.5% in the borrowing rate would negatively or positively impact the Group's results, respectively, by € 0.2 mil.
Group
Currency Nominal interest rate Year of maturity Pledge type Carrying amount
Bond loans 39,939,087
EUR Euribor 3m + 1,1% 2029 - 15,000,000
EUR Euribor 6m + 1,2% 2028 - 9,000,000
EUR Euribor 6m + 1,2% 2029 - 12,500,000
EUR Euribor 6m + 1,25% 2031 - 3,439,087
Total 39,939,087
It should be noted that an amount of €2.1 mil. relates to a fixed-rate loan and is therefore not included in the above table. 4.9.6 Credit RiskCredit risk consists of the possibility that a counterparty will cause the Group to incur a financial loss due to the breach of respective contractual obligations. The maximum credit risk which the Group and the Company are exposed to, at the date of preparation of the financial statements, is the book value of their financial assets. The Group’s trade receivables mainly come from wholesale clients. The defaulted payments from customers do not constitute a significant amount which may potentially and negatively affect the smooth liquidity of the Group and the Company in combination with the expanded customer base and its dispersion. As a result, there is no significant concentration of credit risk in relation to such receivables. The financial condition and creditworthiness of customers are continuously monitored by the Group’s companies, which assess the level of credit provided as well as the credit limits of accounts, in accordance with the applied credit policy. This is done to effectively manage receivables before they become overdue, as well as when they become past due or doubtful. To monitor credit risk, customers are grouped based on their category, credit risk characteristics, the
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 203 aging of their receivables, and any previous collection issues they have exhibited, while also considering future factors related to the customers and the economic environment. The Group has secured credit insurance for specific domestic and international customer channels. The Group and the Company calculate expected credit losses for all trade and other receivables on an ongoing basis, in accordance with IFRS 9, taking into account the aging of balances as well as any historical and future factors affecting debtors. Expected credit loss provisions are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Write-offs of trade receivables are carried out through the already established provision. The write-offs relate to overdue receivables for which a provision had been made in previous years. The likelihood of collecting these receivables is low or zero, as all necessary legal procedures have been exhausted beforehand. The final write-off of a trade receivable aligns with the recognition requirements of local tax and commercial legislation. A relevant analysis is presented in note 4.10.5. Term deposits are primarily invested with counterparties of high credit rating and for a short duration Cash and cash equivalents consist of available funds and short-term liquid investments that are easily convertible into cash and are so close to their maturity that they present negligible risk of changes in their valuation at the time of settlement. A relevant analysis is provided in note 4.10.6. Financial instruments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss relate to investments in shares of companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). These financial assets are not considered to expose the Group and the Company to significant credit risk. Regarding the trade and other receivables, the Company and the Group apply the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and calculate expected credit losses throughout the lifetime of the receivables. For this purpose, the Management utilizes a table of credit loss provisions based on the maturity of balances and also based on the historical data for credit losses, adjusted for future factors in relation to the debtors and the economic environment. Bad debts are evaluated one by one in order to calculate the respective provision. The amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. There was no change in the methodology applied as compared to the previous year. The financial assets that present a low risk of default and a strong probability to meet contractual cash flow requirements are considered performing ones. Non-performing financial assets are considered those for which there are objective indications of credit losses at the reporting date and there are limited expectations of recovering the respective contractual cash flows. The following tables present the exposure of the Group and the Company to the credit risk of trade and other receivables at the book value before impairment:

4.9.7 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk consists of the risk that the Group or the Company may not be able to fulfil financial liabilities when required. Prudent liquidity risk management implies the existence of a balance between cash flows as well as funding through adequate amounts of committed credit facilities. The Group closely monitors the amount of short-term and long- term funding as well as the proportion of such towards total debt and the composition of total debt, manages the risk that could arise from the lack of sufficient liquidity and secures that necessary borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group has sufficient credit line facilities that could be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources. The Group takes care to manage working capital in a way that minimizes potential liquidity and cash flow risks. The contractual maturities of the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities (undiscounted and including interest payments) as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, are summarized in the table below:

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 205 It is noted that government grants, accrued expenses and deferred income are not included in “Other liabilities”. The Group and the Company have entered into supplier financing arrangements with financial institutions to facilitate supplier access to credit and enable early settlement for their deliveries to the Group and the Company. These arrangements do not affect the liquidity risk. 4.9.8 Raw Material Price Risk The Group is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials used both in the production of products at its own facilities and in the procurement of finished products from third-party suppliers. Changes in international commodity prices may affect production costs and, consequently, profit margins. As part of its risk management policy, the Group implements specific procurement strategies, which include, among other things, maintaining an active base of alternative suppliers, evaluating and adopting alternative materials where technically and commercially feasible, entering into physical hedging arrangements such as long-term supply agreements, volume agreements and index-based pricing mechanisms, conducting consolidated tenders at Group level in order to achieve economies of scale, and developing and continuously strengthening initiatives aimed at improving profit margins. The above measures aim to mitigate the impact of volatility in international markets. However, under an adverse scenario of reduced supply across all major raw material categories (metals, plastics, oleochemicals and energy), the additional impact on the Group’s cost of sales is estimated to range between 0.6% and 1.7%. 4.10 EXPLANATORY NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4.10.1 Segment Reporting For administrative purposes, the Group is organized into five main business activities: Beauty / Skin / Sun Care, Personal Care, Home Care Solutions, Private Label and Strategic Partnerships. Strategic Partnerships are further classified into the product categories of Mass and Selective Distribution.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 208 Additions to the Company’s investments, amounting to €261.3 thous. (December 31, 2024: €164.9 thous.), relate to the recognition of the portion of share-based remuneration granted in the form of equity shares of the Company under the Free Share Distribution Plan to executives of the Group’s subsidiaries (see Note 4.8.18.4). The share capital increase of €12 mil. during the 2025 fiscal year reflects the Company’s participation in the share capital increase of its subsidiary Sarantis Polska S.A. During the 2025 fiscal year, the Company recognized an impairment loss of €3.2 mil. on the carrying amount of its investment in IVYBRIDGE VENTURES LTD, a Cyprus-based holding company which owns 100% of ERGOPACK LLC in Ukraine. The related impairment loss was recognized within “Other operating expenses” in the Company’s Statement of Comprehensive Income (see Note 4.10.14). Following this impairment, the Company’s Management estimates that the carrying amount of its other investments does not exceed their respective recoverable amounts as at December 31, 2025. Completion of sale of subsidiary Stella Pack Ukraine LLC On February 18, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 79% of the shares of its subsidiary Stella Pack Ukraine LLC, which had been classified as ‘Assets held for sale’ as of December 31, 2024. The transaction was concluded for a total consideration of €500 thous., which was fully collected within the same month. At the date of disposal, the subsidiary’s net assets had a carrying amount of €780 thous., corresponding to the fair value less costs to sell already recognized in the 2024 financial year. The non-controlling interest (NCI) amounted to €280 thous. As a result, no additional accounting loss was recognized at Group level. However, an amount of €53 thous. relating to accumulated exchange differences was reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement and recorded as a loss for the period (see Note 4.3). 4.10.3 GoodwillThe goodwill of the Group and the Company is analyzed as follows:

The recoverable amount of the above-mentioned cash-generating units was determined using the value-in-use method. The value in use was calculated using cash flow projections based on the four-year business plans approved by management, which were projected into perpetuity. The impairment test conducted did not result in the need for any reversal of goodwill.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 209 The key assumption used by management in calculating the cash flow projections as part of the annual impairment review for goodwill is: The budgeted profit before taxes and interest was calculated based on actual historical data from the past years, adjusted to account for expected changes in operating profitability. Management has assessed that the carrying amount could exceed the estimated recoverable amount as a result of any changes in the discount rate. The discount rate at which the carrying amount and the recoverable amount are equal, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, is presented in the table below:

Supplier Finance Arrangements (Reverse Factoring) The Group and the Company have entered into supplier finance arrangements with financial institutions to facilitate suppliers' access to credit and enable the early settlement of goods delivered to the Group and the Company. The supplier financing arrangements are offered on an optional basis, and suppliers can participate at their discretion at any time. The Group and the Company repay the full invoice amount to the banks on the maturity date. The Group and the Company do not provide any collateral or guarantees to the financial institutions under these arrangements. The terms of the agreement do not provide for additional credit limit extensions and standard obligations apply. Furthermore, the Group and the Company are not charged any interest or fees by the bank for amounts owed to suppliers. Since the arrangements do not alter the terms of the original obligations, amounts payable to the banks continue to be presented in the statement of financial position as part of suppliers.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR FROM 1/1/2025 TO 31/12/2025 214 The carrying values and payment terms of the supplier finance arrangements in effect at the balance sheet date are presented in the table below:

From Group's perspective, the agreement does not significantly extend the payment terms beyond the corresponding normal terms agreed with other non-participating suppliers. The movement in liabilities under the supplier financing arrangements mainly arises from the purchase of goods and subsequent cash settlements. Payments to the bank are included in operating cash flows because they continue to be part of the Group's usual operating cash flows, and their nature remains operational, i.e., they relate to payments associated with the purchase of goods. Payments to suppliers from the bank amounting to € 8.9 mil. for the Group and € 5.6 mil. for the Company are considered non-cash transactions.

The employee benefits include expenses related to the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) - Performance Stock Awards Program. The key terms and conditions of the plan are as follows: The Performance Stock Awards program involves executives of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Performance Stock Awards program consists of three separate independent cycles, with each cycle comprising a three-year performance period. The value of the shares to be awarded is considered a separate benefit as the vesting of the cycles is not interdependent. The total value of the shares to be awarded, for all participants, will not exceed for the 1st three-year cycle (2023 to 2025) the amount of 900,000 euros for the 2 nd three-year cycle (2024 to 2026) the amount of 1,100,000 euros and for the 3rd three-year cycle (2025 to 2027) the amount of 1,300,000 euros. There is no recharging clause for the relevant amounts from the Company to its subsidiaries. The benefit of free shares granted by the Company to a subsidiary of the Group is considered as an increase in the value of the Company's investment in the subsidiary. The total expense during the vesting period is calculated based on the best estimate of the value of the shares expected to vest. The share-based compensation at the end of each cycle to the participants will be made through the Treasury Stock Reserve. It is noted that, within the framework of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, there is no significant impact on earnings per share, as well as on diluted earnings per share as of December 31, 2025. The final amount of the provision for each cycle will be determined at the end of the respective three-year performance period, i.e. based on the results for the period 20232025 for the first cycle, 20242026 for the second cycle, and 20252027 for the third cycle. The first cycle was completed in 2025 and is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2026.

The fair value of investment property is based on a revaluation conducted by an approved independent appraiser (based on a valuation date as of 31/12/2025) and the valuation methods and assumptions used are largely determined through valuation techniques that primarily rely on available market transaction data from active markets while minimizing the use of the entity’s own estimates (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13).

In this context, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee proposed the related five-year incentive plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors and proposed to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 23, 2024, where it received final approval for its implementation.
