Environmental Stewardship Strengthening Environmental Commitments As a financial institution, we take our responsibility to promote environmental stewardship seriously, leveraging our resources and influence to create meaningful change. This commitment transcends internal operations, encompassing the products we offer, the way we engage with stakeholders, and the transparency of our reporting – even in areas where improvement is needed. The introduction of Mauritius’ first green bond exemplifies a bold step and major milestone toward advancing sustainable finance. In 2024, this journey advanced further with the creation of an ESG sub-committee, dedicated to embedding environmental, social, and governance principles into every aspect of our decision-making. Reporting to the Corporate Governance and Conduct Review Committee, the ESG sub-committee ensures oversight and a forward-thinking approach. While we currently focus on five key areas to create meaningful impact, sustainability demands agility and continuous adaptation. As we deepen our understanding through improved data collection, we are prepared to adjust and refine our priorities to better meet the needs of our stakeholders and the planet. 63 Introduction Group Overview Leadership Strategy & Performance Risk Management Corporate Governance Statutory Disclosures Financial
