CEO’S FOREWORD
FOREWORD BY THE PRESIDENT
Finally, AB "Grigeo" has become AB "Grigeo Group." This holding
company will continue performing centralized functions of group's
financial accounting and business analytics, human resource
management, legal service, IT support, procurement, and other
corporate service activities. All these changes have contributed
to more efficient business management and growth.
In 2024, the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards
(ESRS) came into effect along with the requirement to submit
sustainability reports. However, to ensure transparency and
accountability in the group's operations, we already implemented
these requirements last year. We are setting higher sustainability
performance standards because we feel a responsibility to the
society at the group level.
At the same time, we are awaiting the conclusion of the legal
proceedings currently being investigated by the Šiauliai Regional
Court. The Group's company, "Grigeo Klaipėda," has taken
responsibility for the environmental pollution incident and has
committed to remove the contaminants attributed to it. In
collaboration with environmental authorities, we are seeking to
obtain the approval for implementation of the environmental
restoration plan.
As the period for implementing the Group's strategic objectives
approached its deadline, in 2025 we plan to set new strategic
goals that will guide "Grigeo Group" operations until 2030,
ensuring sustainable growth.
Looking at the financial results of 2024, the group's revenue
increased by 9%, while EBITDA decreased by 11%. The revenue
growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of the factory in
Poland, while EBITDA declined due to rising raw material costs
in both the paper and corrugated cardboard segments.
Despite the challenges faced this year, I am pleased that we
remain a competitive and employee-oriented employer. In our
Lithuanian companies, the payroll fund increased by 11%, and
we plan for further growth this year.
Looking ahead, we will continue to invest and expand production
volumes, particularly in the tissue paper and corrugated
cardboard segments. Additionally, we are continuously working
to improve working conditions and enhance employee
satisfaction.
Tomas Jozonis
Chief Executive Officer of Grigeo Group AB
Dear members of the society,
The year 2024 was marked by significant changes
and strategic decisions for the AB "Grigeo Group"
companies. Despite the prolonged economic
stagnation in the European market, customer
expectations in the Baltic States remained more
positive than in Western Europe or Scandinavia,
creating favorable conditions for strengthening our
position in the region.
One of the most notable examples was the
successful completion of the largest transactions in
2024. In March of last year, we acquired one of the
factories of the Polish tissue paper and cardboard
manufacturer Głuchołaskie Zakłady Papiernicze sp.
z o.o. This strategic move strengthened our position
in the Eastern European tissue paper market and
opened new opportunities for further expansion.
Continuing with strategic structural changes, on April
30, 2024, we transferred the tissue paper business
to our wholly owned subsidiary UAB "Grigeo
Tissue." This business decision is already resulting
in a smoother organization of tissue paper
production processes. Additionally, we established a
new sub-holding company, UAB "Grigeo Hygiene,"
responsible for the development of the tissue paper
business in Lithuania and Poland. We also renamed
another sub-holding company to UAB "Grigeo Paper
Packaging" to more accurately reflect the
management of this segment.

1. Business model
The Grigeo Group AB (hereinafter the “Company” or the “Issuer”) group is the only paper and wood industry group of companies in Lithuania and one of the largest
groups in the Baltic countries. As at 31 December 2024, the Group consisted of the Company and twelve subsidiaries as indicated below:

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
1.1. The future is circular
The Group operates following the principle of a circular economy. A part of paper used for the production of tissue
paper products and all raw materials designated for the production of corrugated cardboard, i.e., testliner (smooth
layered cardboard) and fluting (paper for corrugation and raw material for paper honeycomb), are produced by
recycling secondary raw materials, i.e., waste paper, thus contributing to the reduction of waste in Lithuania and
neighbouring countries as well as to the preservation of forests:
In the scope of its operational processes, the Group performs an almost complete cycle of processing of wood and
paper components, producing products with higher added value: tissue paper, i.e., toilet paper, tissues, paper towels,
paper to produce corrugated cardboard, honeycomb, corrugated cardboard and packaging, as well as solid
hardboard.
Corrugated cardboard packaging products are 100% recyclable, organic and biodegradable. The 2021 study
conducted by Graz University of Technology in Austria concluded that corrugated cardboard can be recycled up to 25
times. Corrugated cardboard packaging is currently one of the most recycled paper products and the market of
secondary raw materials is well established. Efficient recycling processes allow reusing fibre to produce new
packaging.
Production of recycled containerboard
Collecting, sorting and recycling of waste paper
- Used paper comprises 99% of all materials
- 123,009 tonnes recycled into raw material for
packaging
Production of tissue paper
- Recycling of white waste paper
- 24,042 tonnes recycled into tissue
paper
- 147,051 tonnes of waste paper recycled
- 84% of waste paper used for packaging production
Converting paper to packaging
- 34% of paper made by Grigeo Klaipėda AB is further converted
to corrugated cardboard in our packaging plants.
- We cooperated closely with our clients, 100% of our packaging
is custom-made.
- Reducing food waste: corrugated cardboard packaging is hygienic and storing
fruits and vegetables for longer periods.
- Corrugated cardboard packaging is cost-efficient and highly versatile which
allows optimisation of pace for transport and storage.
Significant role in logistics

*On 1 May 2024 the Company transferred the tissue business to its subsidiary Grigeo Tissue UAB (more information
can be found in Nasdaq notification on material events at 30 April 2024).
The above-mentioned indicators have been calculated in accordance with the formulas recommended by Nasdaq
Vilnius AB:
EBITDA margin = EBITDA / sales revenue. EBITDA to revenue ratio shows the overview of operational efficiency and cash flows.
Gross profit margin = Gross profit / sales revenue. Gross profit margin shows the ability to earn profit from operating activity, control
the level of sales revenue and cost.
EBIT margin = Profit from operations / sales revenue. A monetary value of the coefficient shows operating profit to EUR 1 of sales.
A higher ratio shows higher profitability.
Net profit margin = Net profit attributable to shareholders / sales revenue. The ratio describes the profitability of the final total
operating result.
ROE margin = Net profit attributable to shareholders / average equity. This ratio estimates shareholders’ return on investment.
ROA margin = Net profit attributable to shareholders / average assets. The return on assets shows how effectively assets are used
to generate profit.
ROCE margin = EBIT / capital used. The used capital return shows income generated by each euro invested in the capital.
Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities. The ratio shows the ability to cover current liabilities with current assets.
Quick ratio = (Current assets – Inventories) / current liabilities. Liquidity describing the ability to fulfil current liabilities from quickly
realisable current assets.
Debt to equity ratio = Liabilities / equity. The ratio estimates the combination of fund resources in the balance and compares funds
from owners and those that were borrowed.
Debt to total assets ratio = Liabilities / assets. The ratio shows the asset share financed from borrowed funds. The lower the value,
the more borrowings are covered with assets.
P/E = the market price of share / total of attributable profit. The ratio shows how much investors pay for one EUR of profit.
Dividend pay-out ratio = Dividends / Net profit attributable to shareholders. The ratio shows the portion of earnings paid out as
dividends.
Basic earnings per share = (Net profit – preferred stock dividends) / weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation.
The calculated profit shows the earned net profit per share.
Diluted earnings per share = (Net profit – preferred stock dividends) / (weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation
+ weighted average number of dilutive shares, i.e. shares that can be converted to ordinary shares). The calculated profit shows
the diluted net profit per share.

2.3. Employees
Increased number of the Group’s employees reflects workforce of newly acquired plant in Poland (163 employees as
at 31 December 2024). There were no significant changes in the number of employees in other Group companies
and natural staff turnover rates prevailed during the reported period.
The average salary in the Group increased for all categories of employees as compared to the year 2023. The growth
of the average salary was mostly driven by the consistent salary increase policy and recruitment of workers with higher
competences.
Changes in the number of employees and average salary of the Company are related to tissue paper business transfer
to subsidiary (more information can be found in Nasdaq notification on material events at 30 April 2024).

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
2.4. Risk management
Environmental risk
The Group is constantly exposed to environmental risks during its manufacturing activities. To properly manage
environmental risks, ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) has been implemented in all manufacturing
companies of the Group in Lithuania, the effectiveness of which is constantly monitored with the help of external
certification consultants.
The Group companies follow the integrated pollution prevention and control principles in its economic activities. The
Company rationally uses energy and natural resources through the application of modern production technologies
and technologies for the treatment of environmental components without worsening the quality of the products
manufactured.
Product risk
The Group's hygiene paper segment manufactures products that come into contact with food or are used as personal
hygiene products. For these reasons, the Group must apply the highest quality standards.
In 2020, Grigeo Tissue UAB was the first personal hygiene product manufacturer in Lithuania to receive an IFS HPC
quality certificate. It accredits that tissue paper products are manufactured in compliance with the highest quality and
safety standards and the products supplied to the market are safe to be in contact with food.
IFS HPC certificate is renewed on an annual basis.
In 2024, Grigeo Packaging UAB received the international BRCGS Packaging Materials certificate. This confirms
that corrugated cardboard and packaging products are manufactured in accordance with the highest quality and
safety standards.
Climate change risk
The management of the Group recognises the importance of analysis in disclosing climate-related risks and
opportunities. In 2021, the Group’s management decided to start with a qualitative analysis that will help explore a
possible range of effects of climate change. During 2024, the Group continued its analysis and used the reporting
principles of the Climate-Related Financial Disclosure Working Group (TCFD) to analyse the potential impact of the
climate change on the activities of the companies of the Group.
During the production process, the Group's companies emit GHG, and the Group is also sensitive to electricity needs.
In order to ensure transparency, the Group provides GHG emissions data and sets goals to reduce emissions and
energy needs through technological means by purchasing new and more energy-efficient equipment and upgrading
existing ones.
Risk of prices of raw materials
The situation in the raw material markets related to the paper and wood industry was different:
- Although the price of pulp fluctuated during the year, the average annual price compared to 2023 was stable.
- White waste paper prices increased due to decrease in supply.
- The price of cardboard waste paper increased significantly, while wood chip prices decreased.
In order to manage this risk, the Group companies renewed annual supply contracts with the main suppliers of raw
materials, ensuring the necessary quantities of raw materials and linking prices to the relevant price indices.
Risk of prices of energy resources
In 2024, the Group companies renewed electricity, gas and biofuel supply contracts, focusing on the reliability and
flexibility of the selected partners, i.e. the ability to ensure the necessary energy resources and promptly respond to
market changes. Electricity prices remained at a similar level to 2023. In the market of natural gas, price growth trends
could be observed in 2024. Biofuel prices in the Lithuanian price zone of the Baltpool exchange decreased significantly
in 2024. Part of the electricity in the Group was produced by newly installed solar power generators on the roofs of
production buildings. In addition, the Group invests in new technologies that allow increasing energy efficiency and at
the same time reduce the need for energy resources.
Risk related to the process of financial reporting
The Company’s financial accounting is performed, and financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union effective at
31 December 2024. The annual financial statements are audited by the independent auditors elected by the General
Meeting of Shareholders. Independence of the auditors is assessed by the Company’s Audit Committee. This
procedure guarantees the relevance and transparency of the data presented in the Company’s financial statements.
Financial risk
The information on financial risks and their management is disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated and separate
financial statements.

6.3. Compliance with the Remuneration Policy
The remuneration received by the members of the Company’s management and supervisory bodies complies with
the approved Remuneration Policy.
Two out of five members of the Board of the Company are the Company’s employees holding the top-level
management positions at the Company. They receive the remuneration in the amount set by the Board under the
employment contract signed with the Company. The amounts of remuneration paid to the members of the Board who
are the Company’s employees are set in view of the qualifications and competence of each specific employee, the
scope of functions and responsibilities assumed within the Company, the aim to retain a specific person in the
Company’s top management position, motivate him/her to work in good faith, with due care, qualification and loyalty
for the Company to achieve the Company’s goals, and implement the Company’s strategy and interests, thereby
increasing the Company’s profitability and ensuring a consistent improvement of its financial performance in the long-
term perspective. Following the bonus system approved by the Board of the Company, annual bonuses were allocated
to the members of the Board of the Company who are the Company’s employees depending on the Group’s and/or
the Company’s financial performance. When allocating annual bonuses to the top-level employees, the Group’s and/or
the Company’s profitability and EBITDA are the main criteria that are taken into consideration when evaluating the
employees’ performance.
The monthly remuneration paid to the independent member of the Board is set in accordance with the provisions of
the Remuneration Policy and is provided for in the agreement signed with the member of the Board on the provision
of management activities/services subject to remuneration by the member of the Board.
The remuneration paid to the Head of the Company, members of the Board and the Supervisory Board of the
Company complies with the remuneration guidelines defined by the Remuneration Policy of the Company and enables
better accountability of members of the management and supervisory bodies to the Company and its shareholders
as well as encourages members of the management and supervisory bodies of the Company to focus on the long-
term goals and strategy rather than take high-risk decisions that may imply positive results only in the short-term.

• long-term: more than 5 years.
Management involvement. The Board of the Company and the Audit Committee review this report before submitting
it to the annual general meeting of shareholders.
External assurance. No external assurance was commissioned for this report, other than by the sustainability
reporting provider.
Uncertainties. Due to the ongoing war and the high degree of uncertainty surrounding future events, only the key
indicators related to the Group's operations in Ukraine, Mena Pak AT, are disclosed. It has not been included in the
assessment of impacts, risks and opportunities, and dual materiality of sustainability issues.
Qualitative characteristics of information
Relevance This report does not omit relevant information that substantively influences stakeholders’ assessments
and decisions, or that reflects significant economic, environmental, and social impact.
Faithful representation We aim to cover both favourable and unfavourable results and topics in an unbiased manner.
Unless stated otherwise, all information provided is traceable to the accounting data. We strive for maximum accuracy
and present data on the basis of available accounting data, unless otherwise stated.
Comparability Our targets are measured against produced tonnes of products rather than absolute values. Other
information is reported in absolute figures, unless otherwise stated. We present results for at least 2 years.
In March 2024, the Grigeo Group acquired a tissue paper mill in Poland. Unless otherwise stated, the figures for 2024
include the results of the newly acquired company.
In April 2024, the tissue paper business was separated from the Company into a subsidiary. For comparability
purposes, the Company's figures for 2024 are presented together with those of the tissue paper business, unless
otherwise stated.
In the 2024 report, slight corrections have been made to the 2023 data in order to better meet the requirements of the
ESRS standards.
Verifiability When preparing the report, we aim that any data is documented in our systems and can be traced to
primary sources so that external examinators can review them, if needed.

Understandability We aim to report in a concise way, avoiding abbreviations (or explaining them), in order that the
users with reasonable knowledge would fully understand the contents.
Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances (BP-2)
In accordance with the list of phased-in disclosure requirements in Appendix C of ESRS 1, the Group has used the
exemption and has not disclosed information about the expected financial impact and opportunities (E1-9, E2-6,
E3-5, E4-6, E5-6) due to insufficient information currently available. This information is planned to be analysed and
assessed in the future as more information on the site and potential risks and opportunities related to climate change,
pollution, water resources, biodiversity and resource use becomes available.
Value chain
When collecting data on the value chain, the Group aims to identify upstream and downstream data as accurately as
possible. In some cases, where sufficiently accurate data is not available, the Group uses average sector data or
other proxy data (e.g. in the case of GHG emissions calculations, emission factors provided by suppliers and publicly
available emission factors were used). A more detailed assessment of the value chain and the involvement of its
actors is planned for the future, which would allow for higher accuracy.
The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies
The administrative, management and supervisory bodies use internal resources (Sustainability Manager, CEO) and
external experts to acquire expertise in sustainability (including business ethics). Sustainability knowledge, resources
and external expertise are used to identify and assess the Group's material impacts, risks and opportunities, and to
develop a strategy that integrates sustainability themes into the Group's overall business strategy. The role of the
management and supervisory bodies in matters relating to business ethics is performed as required.

Sustainability matters, including business ethics, significant impacts, risks and opportunities, are discussed at ongoing
Board meetings on an as-needed basis, with additional strategic or other sessions as required to address the most
pressing issues related to sustainability.
There is no administrative, management and supervisory body or member responsible for overseeing and reviewing
the impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) of sustainability issues, and these responsibilities are not described in the
regulations, terms of reference or similar documents. This responsibility is assigned to the Group Finance Manager.
Information provided to and sustainability matters addressed by the undertaking’s administrative,
management and supervisory bodies (GOV-2)
The targets and achievements for the material sustainability matters identified in the reviews of impacts, risks and
opportunities are consolidated at Group level and presented to the Supervisory Board, the Audit Committee once a
year. Quarterly results for each Group company are presented to the Boards of Directors.
Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes (GOV-3)
Sustainability matters (including climate-related aspects) are included in the variable remuneration incentive schemes
for all employees, including administrative and management bodies, according to need, job function and similar
considerations, and may vary from year to year. No variable remuneration is set for the members of the supervisory
bodies in accordance with the established remuneration policy.
Statement on due diligence (GOV-4)
Due diligence is the process by which a company identifies, prevents, mitigates and discloses how it manages actual
and potential negative impacts on the environment and on people affected by its activities. This includes negative
impacts related to the company's own operations and upstream and downstream parts of the value chain, including
through its products or services, as well as through its business relationships.

Identifying and assessing adverse impacts on people and the environment, involving affected stakeholders, taking
action to reduce adverse impacts on people and the environment, and monitoring the effectiveness of these efforts
are integral parts of due diligence. Due diligence is carried out by the Group as required, but a formal due diligence
procedure has not yet been formulated and approved.

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting (GOV-5)
The Group's sustainability reporting and related work is managed by a dedicated sustainability unit. At the same time,
close cooperation is established with various departments (such as finance and accounting, HR, legal and other
departments and staff) to ensure the full implementation of the process.
Strategy, business model and value chain (SBM-1)
The strategy and business model are disclosed in section 1. Business model.
Value chain
The value chain covers the activities, resources and relationships that an undertaking uses and relies on to develop
its products or services from conception to delivery, consumption and end-of-life.
We have identified six main value chains that are also closely linked to each other or can be part of another value
chain.
1. Waste collection
2. Steam generation
3. Production of hygiene paper
4. Production of cardboard base
5. Manufacture of fibreboard
6. Packaging production
These are the first steps in identifying the Group's value chain in order to understand the main processes and their
linkages. Due to the large volume, significant resource requirements and information availability challenges, this
process is complex and requires additional effort. Nevertheless, the initial analysis gained will allow for a targeted way
forward, with future work consistently delving deeper into the individual elements of the chain, systematically collecting
and analysing information to ensure effective and targeted value chain analysis and integration into sustainability
processes.

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)
The Group performed a double materiality assessment in accordance with the methodology described in the Description of the process to identify and assess material
impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1).
The Group analysed the locations and business activities of its operations to identify actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities in its operations related to
environmental, social responsibility and governance. The Group's operations are carried out in Lithuania, Poland, Latvia and Ukraine. The identification of sustainability
topics for IROs is based on existing assessments such as the Environmental Assessment (prepared in accordance with ISO 14001), which provides a list of identified
environmental topics relevant to the operations, including their potential or actual environmental impacts, risks and opportunities, assessment of past materiality or
similar assessments.
In addition, the assessment of sustainability risks in 2024 has been integrated into the Group's overall enterprise risk assessment process, whereby a broader assessment
is carried out and, based on the level of risk identified, management measures are identified and implemented to manage the risks.
The table below shows the material themes identified. The main material impacts, risks and opportunities are concentrated in the activities of the Group companies.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1)
We are a vital infrastructure player in the circular economy, returning used paper and packaging to the manufacturing
cycle. We strive to integrate environmental, social and governance aspects into our business decisions. This ensures
that we properly assess risks, identify opportunities for more sustainable processes and meet growing market
demands.
By assessing impacts, risks and opportunities and their significance, we can identify and respond to stakeholder needs
and identify key topics. Some of these topics are critical to protecting and growing our revenues, while others have a
significant impact on our cost structure, supply chain and operational risks now and in the future.
We have assessed where the risks arise and/or could have an impact within our Group companies as well as in the
supply chain. Identified topics that involve key risks to the future and long-term success of the business and/or have
an impact on the people, the environment is considered to be highly important to the Group.
The materiality assessment allows the Group to adjust its commitments and identify areas for improvement, which is
why the Group conducted its first non-financial materiality assessment in 2021. This process was carried out by an
independent provider, co-led by the Sustainability and Finance managers, as well as involving key decision makers. In
2024, a new materiality assessment was carried out, following the concept of double materiality described in the ESRS
standards.
Double materiality
Double materiality assessment is the starting point for sustainability reporting under the ESRS, assessing material
impacts, risks and opportunities. An important difference from the previous concept of materiality is that it considers
financial materiality as well as impact materiality. A sustainability matter becomes material if it meets the criteria for
one or both types of significance.
Stage 1:
- Context analysis – identifying and understanding the context of the organisation's activities, value chain and external
environment.
- Stakeholder identification and engagement – understanding stakeholder expectations and perceptions of the
organisation's impacts and risks.
- Identification of sustainability matters – understanding and identifying potentially material environmental, social and
governance aspects and assigning an equivalent ETAS theme and sub-theme.
One of the key steps in the second stage is to identify the impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO) arising from the
identified sustainability matter.
- The timeframe over which the IRO are likely to occur or have already occurred is identified: S – short time period –
reporting period of up to one year; M – medium time period – one to five years; L – long time period – more than 5
years.
- The status to be determined is actual (IRO already occurring and visible) or possible (IRO expected in the future).
- Determination of the impact effect: positive or negative (only in the impact assessment).
The IRO identification process uses sources already available within the Group, such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001, etc.
assessments, staff expertise, external sources. The assessment focuses on the Group's activities, but also includes
value chain IRO.

The third stage is an assessment of the impact and financial materiality of the identified sustainability matters relevant
to the Group. Sustainability risks are integrated into the overall risk assessment process and are assessed on a
common basis with other risks. Impact and financial materiality assessments are also used.
Impact materiality
The assessment shall first take into account negative impacts (the scale, scope irremediable character and likelihood)
and, where appropriate, positive impacts (based on scale, scope and likelihood), and shall identify which sustainability
matters are material for reporting purposes, including relevant quantitative or qualitative thresholds and other
applicable criteria. Applicable thresholds:
• How severe are the negative or positive impacts on people and/or the environment (on a scale from 1 (minimal
or no impact) to 5 (Negative off-site impacts with long-term environmental/people impacts)).
• How widespread (on a scale from 1 (Enterprise/Group of Enterprises) to 5 (Global)).
• Whether the negative impacts can be remedied (on a scale from 1 (self-correcting impacts) to 5 (irreversible
impacts)).
• And for the potential impacts identified, over what timeframe the impact is likely to occur (on a scale of 1
(more than 5 years) to 5 (up to half a year)).
The assessments result in each sustainability issue being assigned one of four levels of significance: informative,
important, significant, critical, according to the thresholds assessed.
Financial materiality
For the financial impact assessment, quantitative thresholds, a level of importance and a probability of impact were
used.
• A qualitative assessment is possible for the magnitude of the financial impact (on a scale of 1 (up to €97,676)
to 5 (above €1,953,520)), as well as for the difficulty of quantification.
• And for the potential financial impact identified, over what period of time it is likely to occur (on a scale of 1
(over 5 years) to 5 (up to half a year)).
As with the significance of impacts, each significant topic identified is assigned one of four levels of significance:
information, important, significant, critical, according to the thresholds assessed.
The assessment of impact and financial materiality is based on a range of assumptions, market practices, precedents,
expert insights and other relevant information.
The fourth stage is the identification of relevant topics.
An integrated assessment of impact and financial materiality is carried out to identify material topics for the Group.
Which may be material from an impact or a financial perspective, and some may be both.

Policies adopted to manage material sustainability matters (MDR-P)
We aimed to update or create key policies in order to improve alignment with the Group's strategy, sustainability
requirements and best practices. The Group's policies are reviewed annually and updated as necessary by those
responsible for them. The Group's policies are approved and updated by the Board of Directors of the Company. The
main scope of the Group's policies is our own activities, but where applicable it is not limited to, and may include,
various stakeholders or parts of the value chain. Policy guidelines related to value chain operations are described in
the Supplier Code of Conduct.
The Group's policies are publicly available and can be consulted at www.grigeo.com.
Group Environmental Policy
The Group's Environmental Policy describes the key principles and commitments of the Group with regard to
significant environmental aspects. The purpose of the policy is to disclose the Group's efforts to manage its significant
impacts, risks and opportunities related to environmental matters. This document is an integral part of the Group's
strategy, whose mission is to create a circular future. The Group's strategic commitments to its stakeholders include
a significant focus on efficient, more sustainable recycling and manufacturing processes, the production and
performance improvement of environmentally friendly products, responsible supply chain management, and improving
energy efficiency.
In order to minimise its environmental impact, the Group focuses on environmental areas where there are significant
(critical and/or major) impacts on both the Group and its stakeholders, and the policy describes the most important
aspects related to:
1. climate change (mitigation, energy efficiency, renewable energy),
2. pollution (air and water pollution, avoiding incidents and emergencies),
3. water resources (responsible management of water resources),
4. biodiversity and ecosystems (conserving natural resources, maintaining ecosystem balance),
5. resource use and circular economy (increasing the use of secondary resources, use of sustainable
renewable resources).
Group companies have adopted the ISO 14001 standard and, in line with its principles, maintain and strive to
continuously improve their integrated environmental management system.
The Group's environmental policy covers all relevant issues and the Group has not developed individual policies
(sustainable land use/agriculture, sustainable use of oceans/seas etc.).
Group Code of Ethics
The Code of Conduct guides stakeholders on the principles and values that the Group's companies follow in building
and maintaining relationships with the Group's partners (customers, suppliers, government authorities, etc.), the
behaviour expected of the Group's partners and the way in which they manage significant impacts related to
employees.
The Group respects and guarantees human rights and freedoms as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights of the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Council of Europe's Convention for the Protection of Human
Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the conventions of the International Labour Organisation and other human rights
and freedoms recognised in international and national legislation. The Group does not use the labour of children under
the age of 16, nor does it work with suppliers and subcontractors who use the labour of children under the age of 16,
and it shall immediately cease working with suppliers and subcontractors if it becomes known that they use the labour
of children under the age of 16. The Group also does not use forced or compulsory labour.
The core values and principles described in the Code of Ethics and which we aim to implement are:
• Respect for human rights and freedoms;
• Transparency, integrity and anti-corruption;
• Avoidance of conflicts of interest;
• Respect for the environment and society.
These principles and values guide our activities and create a sense of responsibility towards society and the
environment. We are committed to continuously reinforcing and promoting these values both within our organisation
and in wider society.
The Group encourages diversity in its workforce and applies the same selection criteria and conditions for recruitment,
based on job-specific requirements, and provides the same working conditions and guarantees during employment
for all individuals, in accordance with the principles of gender equality and non-discrimination on other grounds.

Group Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Policy
The policy describes the basic principles of occupational safety and health and the Group's commitment to OSH. The
Policy is an integral part of the Group's strategy, whose mission is to provide employees with safe and healthy working
conditions, to eliminate hazards and reduce risks to occupational health and safety and to implement control measures
to prevent injuries and fatalities.
The Group's companies operate in accordance with the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management
System standard, which enables companies to manage risk factors, react promptly to changes, and involve employees
in the improvement of the working environment.
Equal opportunities policy
The Equal Opportunities Policy is focused on ensuring that all employees have equal opportunities, regardless of their
gender, race, age, religious or other beliefs. The Group's corporate policies describe equal opportunities - in the
selection processes, pay and career development, and in the performance and termination of employment contracts.
This policy seeks to create an environment in which each employee is evaluated on the basis of his or her skills,
talents and performance, rather than on the basis of personal attributes that are not directly related to the job.
Employees or applicants for a vacancy who believe that their equal opportunities are being violated or that they are
being discriminated against have the right to file a complaint. This complaint shall be investigated within one month
of its receipt at the latest or shall be referred immediately to the Office of the Equal Opportunities Ombudsman.
Violence and harassment prevention policy
The policy describes how to identify and deal with violence and harassment, the forms it may take, the procedures for
reporting and dealing with reports, the measures to protect and assist whistleblowers and victims, the rules of conduct
for employees, and other preventive measures relating to potential violence and harassment in the Group's
companies.
The purpose of the Policy is to provide for and implement effective and efficient actions to protect employees from the
risk of violence and harassment. The policy covers various aspects, from education and information to procedures for
recording and handling cases. It aims to create a safe and respectful environment for all employees and to ensure
that the organisation adheres to the highest ethical and safety standards.
The policy applies to all employees, regardless of their position or type of employment contract.
The Group's policies on social aspects do not currently list specific measures to remedy human rights impacts or the
possibility of remedying them. The Group takes responsibility for identified human rights impacts and seeks to remedy
them in accordance with the procedures established by law.
Supplier code of conduct
In 2023, the Group developed and approved a Supplier Code of Conduct, which describes the values, principles and
performance standards we expect from our suppliers. The purpose of this Code is to promote fair, ethical and
sustainable business conduct among suppliers, customers and other business partners.
The Code describes key aspects and commitments in the areas of human rights, occupational health and safety,
environmental impact and responsible business.

The Group's business strategy includes non-financial targets and a sustainability agenda that are an integral part of
our overall strategy.
We consistently assess and review the Group's performance to ensure that we are focusing on critical topics and
significant impacts. All decision makers are actively involved in assessing the capabilities of our businesses to improve
the Group's performance. This report details our stakeholder and materiality assessment. The following sections are
dedicated to a detailed disclosure of the key resources, processes and ultimate impacts we use. Based on this data
and our experience in the business, we have been able to make corresponding sustainability commitments:

Our sustainability commitments and directions include our key stakeholders.
Targets
The Group's long-term targets are set during top management strategy sessions using the X-matrix (strategic planning
tool). Targets cover the period of the Group's current strategy until 2026. The Group set specific performance
indicators (KPIs) for the commitments it has made, and the sustainability objectives are integrated with the Group's
other long-term strategic targets. Targets are delegated to the managers of each of the Group's companies, who
delegate them to all employees, from managers of corporate units to employees at all levels. At present, the objectives
do not cover the entire value chain, but focus on the operational boundaries of the Group companies. Each year we
review the objectives and monitor and report on progress.
The current sustainability targets are voluntary and cover activities in the Baltic region. The target for increasing waste
paper collection and sorting is for ongoing waste collection activities. The wastewater reduction target is relevant for
production activities that generate wastewater: tissue paper, hardboard and recycled paper production. Other
environmental and all social and governance objectives apply to all the Group's activities.
In 2024, a dual materiality assessment was conducted and the results were assessed to be consistent with the
sustainability objectives and commitments of the previous period on the topics of critical materiality.
For the new factory in Poland, acquired in the first half of 2024, the indicators have been monitored since the start of
the acquisition, but the monitoring of the targets was not included. The Group plans to review the sustainability targets,
and therefore the indicators, in 2025 during the new strategic phase.
Our objectives and the policies described are complementary documents that aim not only to meet national
environmental, social or governance requirements but also to achieve continuous improvement.

Comments on progress
1. An increase in Scope 1 emissions intensity is observed in 2024.
2. The Group managed to increase energy efficiency through investments into new equipment by 1.6%
However, a 1.4% reduction in energy efficiency is observed in 2024. This is due to technical problems in the
boiler plant which could not be fully resolved during several planned stops. This is a consequence of failures
that occurred as early as 2023. In 2025, resources are planned to renew the equipment to improve the
efficiency of the boilers.
3. It was possible to reduce the amount of waste directed to disposal per ton of production from 53.0 kg/ton in
2021 to 41.1 kg/ton in 2024 due to the improved operation of waste paper handling equipment and raw
material control process at Grigeo Klaipėda AB. The more sustainable use of ash from the Grigeo Klaipėda
AB biofuel boiler has also made a significant contribution - instead of being disposed of in landfill, it is used
for composting.
4. Effluents in m3/ton of production were reduced by 2% (from 7.1 to 7.0), which is primarily the result of
investments into evaporator of wastewater by Grigeo Baltwood UAB. Grigeo Klaipėda AB is currently
cooperating with Klaipėdos Vanduo AB, and a significant improvement in the indicator is planned with the
implementation of the anaerobic bioreactor project.
5. The Group collected and sorted 85.5 thousand tonnes of waste paper in 2024 (53 thousand tonnes in 2021).
This is a 61% increase. This is due to consistent work with existing and new partners and securing raw
material volumes in the Baltic region.
6. Although we have devoted a lot of attention and resources to safer working conditions in 2024, unfortunately
the number of accidents has still increased. In the case of the accidents that have occurred, the main cause
is the workers' lack of attention to their own safety and their lack of compliance with basic safety requirements.
To tackle this problem, we plan to strengthen training and awareness of the importance of safety, as well as
to tighten control measures in the workplace.
7.
8.
9. The following policies have been reviewed/updated or developed and approved by the Group up to the
reporting date in 2024.
• Environmental Policy – updated.
• Supplier Code of Conduct – updated.
• Integrated management system Policy – updated.
• Risk management policy – new.
Decrease in the employee turnover rate (No. 7) and the improvement in the retention rate (No. 8) were the
result of a combination of various measures. One of the most important factors is the competitive
remuneration and continuously reviewed remuneration policy. Other important measures are active actions
aimed at improving the results of the annual employee engagement survey, development of employee
competencies, their involvement in strategic projects, and other measures.

7.2. Environmental information
Disclosures pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation)
The European Union (EU) taxonomy disclosure requirements came into force on 1 January 2022. Taxonomy is a
classification system used by the EU that allows companies and investors to speak the same language when
determining which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. This initiative is part of the
EU's efforts to contribute to sustainable economic growth through the European Green Deal and other sustainability
objectives.
The EU taxonomy defines the following environmental objectives:
- Climate change mitigation,
- Climate change adaptation,
- Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources,
- Transition to a circular economy,
- Pollution prevention and control,
- Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
By November 2023, the taxonomy had only been approved for two of the six environmental objectives - climate
change mitigation and adaptation. In November 2023, the EU published criteria for economic activities that make a
significant contribution to the remaining four environmental objectives. The Climate Delegated Act has also been
extended to include additional activities in the manufacturing and transport sectors. These additions will apply from
January 2024.
Taxonomic activities are activities that make a significant contribution to one of the six environmental objectives as
defined in the EU Taxonomy Regulation. The division of activities into taxonomic and non-taxonomic activities does
not in itself say anything about the sustainability or unsustainability of the activity.
Taxonomy Regulation sets out 4 overarching conditions that an economic activity must meet in order to be recognised
as environmentally sustainable:
- Making a substantial contribution to at least one environmental objective,
- Doing no significant harm to any of the other five environmental objectives,
- Complying with minimum safeguards; and,
- Complying with the technical screening criteria set out in the Taxonomy delegated acts.
Specification of key performance indicators (KPI) – turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure
(OpEx) derived from products or services related to qualifying taxonomic economic activities, are calculated and
presented in separate tables below, according to the Taxonomy requirements. All KPIs associated with the taxonomy
are evaluated and calculated to avoid double counting. In the case of contributions to several objectives, the KPIs
are included only once. The increase in the share of capital expenditure compared to the previous year in the
bioenergy heat production activity is due to the refurbishment of the boiler houses and the investment in equipment
to reduce particulate matter emissions to air.
The Group aims to contribute to the European Green Deal, and the Group's investment planning and execution takes
into account the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which is continuously updated, in order to ensure that as many of the
Group's activities as possible will be classified as qualifying taxonomic economic activities in the future. In 2024, a
solar power generation project was implemented, which is aligned with the taxonomy. The possibilities and
expectations for future alignment of bio-energy heat generation with the taxonomy are being monitored. Also in 2025,
an anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge (Anaerobic Bioreactor) is planned to be launched, which is also expected
to be aligned with the taxonomy requirements.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
The Group's main activities are not yet included in the Taxonomy Regulation. However, the Group has identified secondary activities within its operations that are classified
as taxonomic economic activities:
No.
Activity
Technical screening criteria
Description of the evaluation
1.
Electricity generation using concentrated
solar power technology
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 4.1.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 4.1.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria for this activity has led
to the conclusion that the activity with the technical screening criteria for
mitigation and adaptation to climate change, does not cause significant
harm to other environmental objectives, and is in line with the minimum
safeguards.
2.
Production of heat from biomass
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) (ES) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 4.24.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 4.24.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria
as it does not comply with the emission limit values set out in Part 2 of
Annex II to Directive (EU) 2015/2193 (which will only enter into force at
national level from 2025).
3.
Construction, extension and operation of
water collection, treatment and supply
systems
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 5.1.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 5.1.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria,
as the average energy consumption for extraction and treatment is more
than 0.5 kWh per cubic metre of water produced.
4.
Collection and transport of non-hazardous
waste in source segregated fractions
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 5.5.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 5.5.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria,
because not all waste collected is suitable for reuse or recycling. A small
proportion of waste is sent to incineration or landfill.
5.
Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars
and light commercial vehicles
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 6.5.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 6.5.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria,
as specific emissions of CO
2
, (as defined in Article 3(1), point (h), of
Regulation (EU) 2019/631), are higher than 50 g CO
2
/km.
6.
Renovation of existing buildings
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 7.2.).
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 7.2.).
• Substantial contribution to the transition to a circular economy
(Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 Annex II Clause
3.2.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria,
as renovated buildings do not have energy efficiency certificates of class A
or higher, because renovation of cultural heritage buildings involves
minimal renovation, preserving the cultural value and not always achieving
higher energy efficiency classes. Also, the activity does not comply with
technical screening criteria for the transition to a circular economy as the
life cycle global warming potential of the renovation activities has not been
calculated for each stage of the life cycle from the start of the renovation of
the building.
7.
Acquisition and ownership of buildings
• Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation (Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex I Clause 7.7.)
• Substantial contribution to climate change adaptation Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 Annex II Clause 7.7.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with climate change mitigation technical screening criteria,
as renovated buildings do not have energy efficiency certificates of class A
or higher.
8.
Collection and transport of non-hazardous
and hazardous waste
• Substantial contribution to the transition to a circular economy
(Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 Annex II Clause
2.3.).
The assessment of the technical screening criteria indicated that the activity
does not comply with transition to a circular economy technical screening
criterion, because not all waste collected is suitable for reuse or recycling.
A small proportion of waste is sent to incineration or landfill.

Description of the processes to identify and assess material climate-
related impacts, risks and opportunities (2 ESRS IRO-1)
Addressing climate change risks
We acknowledge the gravity of scenario analysis in disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities. Climate
change impacts are primarily assessed through our Group's GHG emissions calculations (Table Consolidated GHG
emissions). We use the TCFD guidelines to analyse the potential impacts of climate change on business. An
assessment of the Group's business transformation and physical risks related to climate change and their potential
impacts in the short (2030) and long (2030-2060) term has been carried out, using a range of future climate change
projection research reports and scientific publications and climate scenarios (RCPs). We assessed the locations of
Grigeo Group companies' operations and their climate-related risks. In the short and long term, the physical risks are
considered to fall into the low to medium probability category.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (SBM-3)
The Group is one of the largest paper and wood industry groups in the Baltics. Paper production is a resource- and
energy-intensive industry. It is our responsibility to ensure production efficiency in order to minimise negative impacts.
In order to reduce environmental impacts, the Group sets targets in areas where there are critical impacts on both the
Group and its stakeholders.
The Group has not carried out a full assessment of the resilience of its strategy and business model to climate change.
Accurate modelling and assessment of value chain risks is currently constrained by the lack of reliable and accessible
information on the industry, locations and other contexts, and our internal resources are not yet sufficient to perform
quantitative modelling. To manage the identified potential impacts and risks, guidelines for our activities have been
established.

Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies (E1-3)
The climate change GHG reduction target currently only covers Scope 1 emissions, which represent a significant
proportion of total emissions, and it is within this scope that the Group is most likely to make decisions that will help
reduce emissions. In setting the targets, market trends and current opportunities to reduce GHG emissions and
improve energy efficiency in our operations were assessed. The Group is investing in climate change mitigation
actions to achieve its GHG emission reduction targets, such as energy efficiency improvements, electrification and
the use of renewable energy.
Reducing GHG intensity is one of our strategic objectives and Group companies have set targets and measures to
achieve this goal. For a number of years, investments have been made in technologies and processes that contribute
to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
In terms of mitigation and adaptation decarbonisation levers, the Group focuses on:
• Improving energy efficiency – energy consumption monitoring system, equipment upgrades, process
efficiency and many other initiatives. To improve energy efficiency, a steam generator was installed in 2024
(this investment is worth around € 0,5 million euros). The installation of the generator is expected to increase
energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption by 8 200 GWh per year as well as reducing biogenic
GHG emissions by 3 000 t per year. This project will contribute not only to reducing GHG intensity, but also
to achieving our energy efficiency targets.
• Renewable energy – The first project phase of the solar park is completed (investment of around €1.9 million)
with a capacity of 3.15 MWh. This project is expected to reduce Scope 2 GHG emissions by around 1,300
t/year (based on a market-based approach). In 2025, the second phase of the solar park is planned to be
implemented and an anaerobic bioreactor is planned to be launched (investment of around €5 million). The
biogas from the treatment of wastewater in the bioreactor will be used instead of natural gas, which will reduce
GHG emissions by 1 500 t/year.
• Fuel switching – the majority (more than 68%) of the thermal energy required is already produced by burning
biofuels, which have replaced the natural gas used. This also allows to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions and
meet the targets.
The main investments related to climate change mitigation and adaptation are made using the Group's existing
resources. Given the current market and financial situation of the Group, there are no constraints on the ability to
implement the actions envisaged, including adapting to changes in supply/demand, making related acquisitions, and
investing in research and development.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
To mitigate climate change, the Group has already set GHG reduction targets for Scope 1 emissions in 2021. Each
year, progress is monitored, investments and innovations are made and other opportunities to reduce GHG
emissions are investigated. However, the GHG reduction targets are not yet aligned with the global warming limit of
1.5°C under the Paris Agreement, nor is there a transformational plan to mitigate climate change.
It is planned to set GHG reduction targets over the next two years and to revise the current targets for other
emission levels to be consistent with the emission reduction plan and to be aligned with the 1.5°C global warming
limit and to cover the 2030 targets. We are committed to doing this in partnership with the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi). We also plan to develop a transformational plan to mitigate climate change after we join the SBTi.
Energy consumption and mix (E1-5)
The Group produces energy from biofuels and natural gas. All the energy produced is used in the Group's operations
and sold to meet the heating needs of Grigiškės or other consumers. Electricity and fuel for vehicles are also used in
the operations. Our total energy consumption in 2024 was 630 GWh.
We are one of the largest consumers of wood chips on the market. In 2024, we consumed 29,000 tonnes (tonnes of
oil equivalent) of wood chips, representing 339 GWh or 54% of the Group's total energy consumption.
Our consumption of electricity amounted to 133 GWh in 2024, making electricity the second-largest energy resource
used for our production lines. The Group has invested in renewable energy generation capacity and has started to
use the green electricity generated by its solar power plants to cover part of its demand. Also in 2024, more than half
of the electricity purchased and consumed was generated from renewable sources. According to electricity distributor
Litgrid AB, final electricity consumption in Lithuania in 2024 was 11,5 TWh, so we estimate that the Group consumed
1% of total electricity in Lithuania.

Energy efficiency
We understand that our product energy impact is managed via energy mix (shifting to renewable energy sources) and
improving energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency is a key indicator of the economic and environmental performance of our production facilities.
Considering all circumstances, the investments in energy efficiency improvements will remain our key investment
direction.

By investing in new equipment, the Group has managed to improve energy efficiency up to 2024, but a decrease in
energy efficiency is observed in 2024. This is due to technical problems in the boiler plant, resulting in a higher
consumption of biofuels, and the acquisition of a new plant in Poland.

Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions (E1-6)
GHG emissions for all Grigeo Group companies and the consolidated report have
been prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol methodology using the control
approach. Under this approach, the Group's emissions represent all of the GHG
emissions from the activities it controls. National, DEFRA, supplier-supplied and other publicly available factors were
used to calculate GHG emissions. The Group has no unconsolidated investments (associates, joint ventures or
similar).
Emissions by scopes
Scope 1: direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, such as emissions
from our combustion boilers. Group’s main Scope 1 emissions comprise mainly natural gas combustion in our facilities
located in Klaipėda, Grigiškės and Niedomice. GHG emissions not covered by the Kyoto Protocol, e.g., CFCs, NOx,
etc., are not included in Scope 1. In 2023, 33% of the Group's Scope 1 GHG emissions are covered by the Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS).
In 2024, 50% of the Group's Scope 1 GHG emissions are included in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
Scope 2: indirect GHG emissions caused by generation of externally produced energy such as electricity.
Scope 3: Scope 3 are all GHG emissions from the Group's activities that are outside the Group's management and
control. They relate to the Group's supply chain, from the production of purchased raw materials and goods to the
transport and sale of the products produced.
Scope 3 emissions calculations are less reliable as they require a proper estimation of the GHG emissions of own
suppliers (about 30% of Scope 3 emissions are calculated on the basis of emission factors provided by suppliers).
Biogenic carbon dioxide (CO
2
) is carbon dioxide released during the combustion or decomposition of biomass and
other organic materials. Only if biomass used for biofuel is cultivated in a sustainable way, biogenic CO
2
is not
recognised as a greenhouse gas emission. The Group only discloses Scope 1 biogenic emissions, as data on Scope
2 and 3 biogenic emissions are not available.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2024
All amounts are in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated
In the 2024 report, slight corrections have been made to the 2023 data in order to better meet the requirements. The
corrections were made in the Scope 2 calculations using the 2023 emission factor applied to electricity emissions.
There is also an increase in Scope 3 emissions due to updated categories and their calculations.
In the new Poland factory, the thermal energy production is based exclusively on natural gas (in other Grigeo Group
companies, biofuels account for the majority, more than 75%, of the total energy required), which means that a
significant increase in Scope 1 GHG emissions is expected in 2024.
In 2024, the reduction of Scope 2 (market-based approach) GHG emissions was as much as 41% compared to 2023,
thanks to the purchase of green certificates. The Group also plans to continue purchasing green energy. In 2025,
further reductions in Scope 2 emissions are expected thanks to the installation of a solar park.
Scope 3 GHG emissions consist of 15 different categories and the Group has identified the categories and performed
the GHG emission calculations. Due to unavailability or lack of data, the following categories were not included in the
calculations: employee commuting. The following categories are not relevant due to non-performance: upstream
leased assets, downstream leased assets, franchises and investments. Scope 3 emissions calculations are less
accurate as they require accurate accounting of upstream GHG emissions. Approximately 30% of these emissions
have been calculated on the basis of emission factors provided by suppliers, so the reliability of the results depends
on the quality and availability of data.

Scope 3 emissions accounted for 56% of total emissions in 2024. The main emissions (almost 90% of Scope 3
emissions) are related to purchased goods and services and transport, i.e. emissions related to the production of the
raw materials we purchase, their transport, as well as emissions related to the transport of the products we produce.
Other categories such as the use or disposal of products sold at the end of their life cycle, etc. account for a smaller
share of just over 10% of our Scope 3 GHG emissions.

ESRS E2 Pollution
Description of the processes to identify and assess material pollution-related impacts, risks and
opportunities (IRO-1)
In accordance with the established legal requirements, our production sites are subject to Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) screening procedures, which assess the potential impacts and risks related to pollution. The EIA
procedures involve consultations with interested parties such as local communities, public authorities, etc. During the
reporting year, a public presentation on the planned construction of the anaerobic reactor was organised, during which
the affected communities were able to express their views and comments. In addition, in accordance with the
requirements, the responsible authorities have issued Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) or Pollution
Permits for the sites concerned. This complements our process of double materiality analysis.
Table of significant ESRS sub-topics
The assessment of pollution-related impacts, risks and opportunities identified material topics for the Group's
companies and assessed the impact and financial materiality. Water pollution have been identified as Critical topic for
the Group. Five sub-topics (pollution of soil, pollution of living organisms and food resources, substances of concern,
substances of very high concern, microplastics) were not identified as material after the assessment.

Grigeo Klaipėda AB environmental incident in 2020
The environmental incident occurred in 2020, when it was announced that Grigeo Klaipėda AB released partially
biologically treated wastewater into the Curonian Lagoon through the treated wastewater collector of municipal
company Klaipėdos vanduo AB.
Grigeo Klaipėda AB assumed legal responsibility for this incident, carried out internal inspections and commissioned
international expert investigations to establish, through scientific research, the fact and extent of possible
environmental damage. It also started implementing environmental remedial measures on its own initiative to remove
the pollutants discharged with its wastewater from the natural environment.
Pollutants released into the natural environment with the wastewater of Grigeo Klaipėda AB that was only partially
biologically treated were nitrogen and phosphorus (i.e., water-soluble nutrients of organic origin that are necessary
for every living organism) and BOD
7
(biochemical oxygen demand per 7 days). Pollutants contained in the biologically
untreated wastewater of Grigeo Klaipėda AB are attributable to non-hazardous pollutants that have not had a
significant negative impact on (significant damage to) the water state, biota, and ecosystem of the Curonian Lagoon.
Grigeo Klaipėda AB seeks to cooperate with state authorities in implementing wastewater management solutions and
environmental remedial measures that would remove the allegedly released pollutants from the natural environment,
implement environmental remedial measures (improvement of the state of water of the Curonian Lagoon), restore lost
public confidence, and ensure business resilience in the long run. It is very important to the management of Grigeo
Klaipėda AB that this incident not only becomes a painful lesson for the company, but also prevents the recurrence
of such cases in the future in all economic activities of the country.
Grigeo Klaipėda AB environmental restoration actions after the 2020 environmental incident
In 2021 and in 2022 Grigeo Klaipėda AB assessed scientifically based environmental restoration measures, which
would aim to remove the amount of pollutants (phosphorus, nitrogen and BOD

) from the Curonian Lagoon and
contribute to more favourable conditions for the recovery of biological diversity, thereby reducing eutrophication
processes in the Curonian Lagoon. It was determined that the environmental restoration criteria set by the
Environmental Protection Department is best met by the following two environmental restoration measures: reed
removal in the Curonian Lagoon and installation of surface wastewater treatment facilities in Klaipėda city.
The first measure: Cutting and removing reed biomass on the shores of the Curonian Lagoon.
With this measure, the pollutants that Grigeo Klaipėda AB may have allegedly released into the natural environment
would be removed from the Curonian Lagoon. Also, removing the biomass of cut reeds would restore the sandy
shores of the Curonian Spit and the habitats of rare plant and animal species, reduce the amount of organic matter
entering the Curonian Lagoon, mitigating the negative effects of eutrophication. After the restoration of open bays and
the formation of canals, the swamping processes of the shores of the Curonian Lagoon would be eliminated,
recreational space and views of the Curonian Lagoon would open up, and this would increase the area's biological
diversity and recreational potential.

Reed cutting would be carried out over 4 years from whenever the program is approved by the Environmental
Protection Department.
The harvested reeds are used in sustainable ways, in such order of priority:
• Roofing (a new product is being developed, with a service life of about 50 years).
• Biofuel – helps reduce the need for fossil fuels, biogenic CO
2
is released.
• Compost – returned to the natural environment as green waste.
Grigeo Klaipėda AB hopes that the Environmental Protection Department will approve the plan of environmental
restoration measures, and after its implementation, the incriminated volume of pollutants would be removed from the
natural environment of the Curonian Lagoon.
The second measure. Modernization of treatment facilities of Klaipėdos vanduo AB (preventive measure).
A trilateral cooperation agreement was concluded between Klaipėda City Municipality, Klaipėdos vanduo AB and
Grigeo Klaipėda AB, in which the parties agreed to prepare and implement the construction and operation program
of Klaipėdos vanduo AB surface wastewater treatment facilities. This measure would reduce the entry of oil products,
floating substances, and organic matter into the Klaipėda Strait. This would have a positive impact on reducing the
eutrophication of the Curonian Lagoon.
According to the signed contract, if the Environmental Protection Department approves the plan of environmental
restoration measures, Grigeo Klapėda AB will finance the modernization of No. 7 and No. 8 outlets of the surface
sewage networks managed by Klaipėdos vanduo AB. The surface sewage networks, which need to be modernized,
were chosen considering the position of Klaipėdos vanduo AB, according to which sewage basins No. 7 and No. 8
are among the largest, both in terms of their total area and the area of their surfaces intended for road transport
(streets, driveways, parking lots). The amount of pollutants released through the outlets of these basins is one of the
highest, compared to other basins where treatment facilities have not yet been built. From an environmental point of
view, it is appropriate (necessary) to reduce pollution where it is generated the most. The preliminary value of the
project amounts to EUR 2 million, which would be financed free of charge by Grigeo Klaipėda AB.
Investments in environmental research are essential for sustainable, efficient and future-proof environmental
management. Back in 2020, in order to fulfil its promise to the public to fund research to determine the condition of
the Curonian Lagoon water and to carry out environmental social initiatives, Grigeo Klaipėda AB signed a support
agreement with Klaipėda University for a targeted EUR 500,000 support for the development of solutions to reduce
environmental pollution in the Klaipėda region and for the training of environmental professionals. Under the terms of
the agreement, a five-year programme of environmental action is being implemented, focusing on long-term value
creation. Under the terms of the contract, a five-year programme of environmental action is being implemented,
focused on long-term value creation. A total of EUR 464 000 has been transferred to Klaipėda University by the end
of 2024. Klaipėda University is using the funds for the following research programmes: The first is the development
and implementation of a monitoring system for ambient air pollution (industrial and transport pollutants, volatile organic
compounds) in the city of Klaipeda. The second is the application of advanced treatment technologies for the
containment and removal of hazardous organic micro-pollutants in the city's wastewater treatment plants. The third is
the provision of support for undergraduate and postgraduate projects for the preparation of theses.

Pollution of air, water and soil (E2-4)
Pollution of water
Water is used in almost all stages of paper (both tissue and containerboard) production. In addition, hardboard
production process also heavily depends on water supply. The quality of industrial wastewater is characterized by
biochemical oxygen consumption (BOD
7
), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (N), total phosphorus (P). BOD
7
represents the amount of dissolved oxygen needed (i.e., demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down
organic material present in each water sample at a certain temperature over a specific time. This is an indicator of
organic contamination. A long and strong fibre is required to produce high-quality tissue paper, cardboard, and wood
panels. The fibre in paper products going through repetitive recycling cycles deteriorates over time becoming weaker,
shorter and unsuitable for papermaking, i.e., during paper web formation, a large part of the fibre enters the
wastewater as SS and settles as sludge. In 2024, we recycled 147 thousand tonnes of recovered paper, which
contains various additives and impurities. All these impurities become our waste and water pollution.
Monitoring of emissions to water is carried out in accordance with an approved environmental monitoring programme
once a year. Samples of wastewater are analysed in accredited laboratories to determine their pollution parameters.
A significant decrease in both the absolute amount and the amount of BDS
7
per ton of production is related to Grigeo

Immediate and properly managed wastewater management is an essential step in reducing the impact of water
pollution. Innovative wastewater treatment technologies contribute to safer and more sustainable water use. The
Group has invested in a wastewater evaporator in Vilnius, which treats wastewater and reduces the level of
contamination of wastewater. After treatment, the concentration of suspended solids (SS) is <350 mg/l, the
concentration of BOD
7
is <800 mg/l, and the concentrated organic matter is returned to the production process of
hardboard, reducing the amount of process water used in the process.
The anaerobic bioreactor mentioned under the E1 ETAS Climate Change theme will not only reduce GHG emissions,
but will also allow the treatment of wastewater using micro-organisms, which will reduce the pollution of industrial
wastewater with BOD7, COD and drowning substances, and thus reduce the load on the wastewater treatment plant
of AB "Klaipėdos vanduo".
Pollution of air
Grigeo Tissue UAB and Grigeo Klaipėda AB are key emitters, as these two companies operate boiler houses. Grigeo
Tissue sp zoo also operates a boiler house, but compared to the group's boiler houses operating in Lithuania, its
power is lower, as are its air emissions. Grigeo Tissue UAB supplies steam to Grigeo Baltwood UAB which does not
burn any sort of fuels needed to produce hardboard.
Emissions from stationary sources of air pollution are monitored at specified intervals by a certified laboratory.
Monitoring of air emissions shall be carried out in accordance with an approved Environmental Monitoring Programme.
Depending on the pollutant, measurements shall be carried out between 1 and 4 times a year, the method of
measurement being chosen according to the type of pollutant (counting, gas chromatography, etc.). At Grigeo Tissue
UAB, a reduction in air pollution is observed due to a reduction in the amount of biofuel consumed. The increase in
production volumes has had an impact on the increase in air pollution at Grigeo Klaipėda AB.

The Group's operations burn fuel to generate thermal energy. The combustion processes release various substances
into the air, the quantities of which are monitored and recorded. To reduce air emissions, the Group already uses
condensing economizers, which not only reduce emissions but also recover some of the thermal energy. In addition,
electrostatic precipitators will be installed in 2024 in the biofuel boiler houses in Grigiškės (investment of around €1.2
million), which will further reduce particulate emissions, contributing to better air quality and reducing potential
negative health impacts.

ESRS E3 Water and marine resources
Description of the processes to identify and assess material water and marine resources-related impacts,
risks and opportunities (2 ESRS IRO-1)
Water is an essential resource in the paper industry and is used in almost all stages of paper production (both tissue
and paperboard). Similarly, the production process of hardboard is highly dependent on water supply. This is one of
the most important sources in our operations. We clearly understand that the use of water in our production processes
has an impact not only on the environment but also on local communities. Despite the need to use water in the paper
industry, it is important to look for sustainable water use strategies and efficient technologies to minimise the impact
on the environment and water resources, which is why one of our most important strategies is to preserve nature. In
order to meet our objectives, we have strengthened our internal processes for rational water use and closely monitor
the volume of wastewater discharges and the level of pollutants, and we strive to find sustainable solutions in water
management.
Large volumes of water are used in production, and abstraction procedures are subject to Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) screening procedures, where necessary, to assess potential impacts and risks.
Table of significant ESRS sub-topics
The impact, risk and opportunity assessment identified significant themes for the Group's companies and the
assessment of impact and financial materiality is presented in the table below. Water discharges into the oceans and
extraction and use of marine resources were not identified as material due to the non-existence of such activities in

Policies related to water and marine resources (E3-1)
The disclosures are provided in ESRS 2 General Information, Group Environmental Policy section.
Actions and resources related to water and marine resources (E3-2)
Water is used in both paper and fibreboard production lines in the Group's companies and plays a key role in our
business:
• It acts as a binding agent for the fibre and is needed in the cleaning and de-watering stages of the production
process.
• Water is used as a solvent.
• Carries energy in the form of vapour and in the cooling process equipment.
We are looking for more efficient water management methods to reuse water and reduce the amount of water
withdrawn by our Group. We are also working to ensure responsible management of water as a key resource in the
supply chain. Surface water is used subject to additional treatment as required and used in technological processes.
Our aim to conserve water as much as possible and to reduce its use in our production processes is reflected in our
environmental policy. Processes related to water use and wastewater management are described in our operational
documents (such as the IPPC), subject to continuous monitoring and control, and reported to the responsible
authorities.
The Group's strategic objectives do not have a separate target for water consumption, water consumption reduction
is one of the elements of the wastewater reduction target.
In order to reduce water use, it is important to promote conscious consumption and sustainable habits at both personal
and business level. It is also necessary to invest in advanced technologies to improve water efficiency in industry,
agriculture and other sectors.

ESRS E4 Biodiversity and ecosystems
Description of processes to identify and assess material biodiversity and ecosystem-related impacts, risks
and opportunities (2 ESRS IRO-1)
Biodiversity and ecosystems are important from a business perspective, not only as ecological assets, but also as key
factors influencing the long-term sustainability of a business. Businesses depend on global biodiversity and ecosystem
services. This includes both natural resources such as food, water and raw materials, as well as regulatory services
such as climate regulation and disease control. Investing in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem maintenance is
also crucial, as it can help companies to reduce the risks associated with natural losses. This includes commitments
not only to use natural resources equitably, but also to contribute to reducing emissions and addressing environmental
challenges. Corporate understanding and commitment to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem stability is
becoming an essential aspect of balancing economic activity with the protection of the natural environment.
Assessing impacts, risks and opportunities from a biodiversity and ecosystem perspective is an important step towards
the Group's sustainability and ownership of its activities. In this context, the assessment provides insights into the
potential threats and impacts that the Group may face as a result of biodiversity reduction or ecosystem loss, but the
relevance and usefulness of the assessment results are currently limited due to the lack of certain data, best practices
and market experience. Insufficient information makes it challenging to correctly identify and understand risks and
identify appropriate solutions. It has been identified that most of the impacts related to biodiversity and ecosystems
are concentrated in the value chain.
In our assessment of significant impacts, risks and opportunities, we have determined that the Group's sites do not
fall within the European Union's Natura 2000 network of special areas of conservation and no mitigation measures
are required. The sites are only adjacent to the Natura 2000 sites of the Neris River and the Curonian Lagoon. These
are areas of importance for habitat conservation, where habitats and fish species are protected.
This improvement in the assessment of impacts, risks and opportunities will be a step towards better management of
the Group in the future, in line with sustainability and environmental responsibility standards. This includes better data
collection, analysis and reporting to better identify the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, risks
and assess the impact of actions along the value chain.
Table of significant ESRS sub-topics
In assessing impacts, risks and opportunities related to biodiversity and ecosystems, significant themes for Group
companies were identified and an assessment of impacts and financial materiality was carried out. The Group's
operations do not have significant impacts related to land degradation, desertification, soil sealing or threatened
species.
Biodiversity and ecosystem themes are closely linked and intertwined with other themes highlighted in this report,
such as climate change, pollution and the circular economy.
The Group has not carried out a systematic risk assessment of the resilience of its strategy and business model with
respect to biodiversity and ecosystems and has not currently assessed whether a transformation plan is needed.
The main significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems are concentrated in the value chain and not in the
Group's own operations. When selecting suppliers, we give preference to those whose operations meet the
requirements of quality, environmental and sustainable forestry standards. Most of the raw materials we purchase are
FSC
®
certified. This standard for responsible forest management requires forest managers to maintain the existence
of natural native species and genotypes and to prevent the loss of biodiversity, particularly in the management of
forest habitats.
In the future, it is planned to increase the focus on biodiversity and ecosystem themes in value chain analysis.

ESRS E5 Circular economy
Description of the processes to identify and assess material resource use and circular economy-related
impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1)
Circular economy is a commitment to sustainable development, reducing environmental impacts and making efficient
use of productive resources. The Group's activities are oriented towards the circular economy. We strive to use
resources as efficiently as possible and promote recycling processes by recycling collected waste paper and returning
it to the life cycle as a new product, thus reducing the negative impact. We also invest in energy efficiency solutions,
such as retrofitting and the use of energy-efficient technologies, to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption.
We operate in accordance with an emissions or IPPC permit, through which we assess the risks and impacts of our
activities. The increasing focus on environmental issues and the circular economy allows us to assess and take
advantage of opportunities in the areas of recycling and renewable resources.
Table of significant ESRS sub-topics
In assessing the impacts, risks and opportunities related to the circular economy, material themes have been identified
for the Group's companies and an assessment of the impact and financial materiality has been carried out. The
Circular Economy sub-topics of resource inflows and waste are identified as material at Group level. Waste
minimisation and waste collection/recycling have been identified as the most significant themes for which we have set
targets at Group level.

Policies related to resource use and circular economy (E5-1)
The disclosures are provided in ESRS 2 General Information, Group Environmental Policy section.
Actions and resources related to resource use and circular economy (E5-2)
Our activities follow the principles of the waste hierarchy (prevention – reuse – recycling – other recovery (e.g. energy
recovery) and disposal), with waste prevention or reduction taking priority, and waste disposal taking lowest priority.
At the Group level, waste disposal is identified as one of the most important topics and included as a strategic objective
to reduce waste that is diverted to disposal.
We are investing in a centralised waste collection system for tissue paper production, with automatic collection and
compression of the resulting offcuts. This not only contributes to the circular economy, but also improves workplace
safety and saves space on the factory floor.
All recyclable paper/cardboard waste generated in our operations is recycled and used in the production of new
products. We reuse or return suitable packaging materials such as cardboard tubes, IBC containers, etc. to our
suppliers.
The reduction of waste going to disposal is planned to be achieved by investing in a wire cutting and extraction
mechanism for recycled paper bales (investment of around €0.5 million). This project is expected to divert 400 t of
wire per year from disposal to recycling.
Targets related to resource use and circular economy (E5-3)
We also strive to find the best use for the waste we generate, not only in our own operations, but also by encouraging
others to sort and recycle waste properly. This allows us to increase the collection rate of waste paper. By collecting
more recovered paper, we can contribute to reducing the amount of virgin materials, thereby also contributing to
reducing biodiversity loss and increasing the circularity of material use. We have set ourselves the objective of
increasing the collection and sorting of waste paper in these respects.

Biofuels and natural gas are used as raw materials for the production of steam, which is needed in all the Group's
production facilities. This represents 27% of the total inputs consumed (converted into tonnes).
Resource outflows (E5-5)
Waste
In 2025, we processed 353.9 thousand tonnes of materials, our activities generated 24.5 thousand tonnes of waste.
Our production process is unique in a way that most of the waste generated can be returned to the production cycle.
In 2024, more than half of all waste was returned to production in the form of material.
Waste that cannot be avoided and cannot be used in our production processes is managed according to the principles
of the waste hierarchy, but waste destined for disposal is also unavoidable. The largest share of waste diverted to
disposal is waste from sorting waste paper from Grigeo Klaipėda AB (83% of the total waste diverted to disposal),
which arrives together with the waste paper received. The incineration of this waste generates energy. We see the
total amount of waste destined for disposal as one of our strategic challenges. Therefore, we aim to continuously
improve our waste paper handling facilities and the quality control processes for the raw materials collected. It is also
important for us to contribute to public education on waste sorting in order to improve the quality of paper waste
collected. The high quality of the raw materials ensures that what we collect for recycling can actually be recycled. In
this way, we waste fewer resources, reduce waste and pollution and contribute to the circular economy.

Sludge, an organic material, is naturally formed during wastewater treatment. Currently, all wastewater generated by
Grigeo Klaipėda AB is transferred to Klaipėdos vanduo AB for treatment in accordance with the contract. All the sludge
produced in the waste water treatment process is broken down, dried and transferred to the waste manager by
Klaipėdos vanduo AB. Sludge from manufacturing plants in Grigiškės is composted. In 2024, 7.6 thousand tonnes of
sewage sludge were generated.

Data from direct measurement, weighing of waste delivered (using GPAIS data)
In 2024, the methodology in the data calculations has been revised to include all waste generated, so the data for
2023 has also been revised.
The Group is looking at ways to reduce the amount of waste going to disposal, but there are still significant amounts
of waste going to disposal (incineration or landfill). One of the reasons for this is that not all the waste generated is
recycled in our market or in the surrounding regions, and the cost-effectiveness of transporting large quantities of
waste over long distances is being assessed.
Anticipated financial effects from resource use and circular economy-related impacts, risks and opportunities
(E5-6)
The Group has taken the exception and has not provided information on the expected financial impact and
opportunities due to insufficient information currently available.

The disclosures are provided in ESRS 2 General Information Interests and views of stakeholders section.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (ESRS 2
SBM-3)
Employees are a vital part of any organisation, as their contribution directly influences the efficiency and overall
success of the company. These people not only deliver the organisation's objectives but also contribute to its growth
and innovation. A successful company is only as successful as the commitment, talent and motivation of its workforce.
In addition to their specific roles, employees shape the company's culture and work environment. Their cooperation,
ability to overcome challenges and willingness to learn new things are essential for the success of the organisation.
For optimal performance and long-term success, it is important to emphasise employee well-being, promote their
professional development and create a supportive working environment. In order to ensure the well-being of
employees, the Group continuously monitors and assesses the impacts, risks and opportunities relating to employees.
An employee engagement survey is conducted each year to identify areas of strength or areas for improvement. The
Group also prioritises the health and safety of its employees in its operational activities and continuously assesses
the impacts and risks to prevent accidents.
Table of significant ESRS sub-topics
The assessment of impacts, risks and opportunities identified significant topics for the Group's companies and carried
out an impact and financial materiality assessment. Health and safety have been identified as the most critical sub-
topic for the Group's operations in the assessment of the sub-topics and sub-sub-topics of the own workforce.

The Group's commitment and targeted management of material topics is described in the Code of Conduct, the
Occupational Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and the Prevention of Violence and Harassment policies which
are described in more detail in the General Information section of ESRS 2, Group policies. Internal communication
and training are in place to ensure that employees understand and adhere to the organisation's objectives, values
and policies, thereby contributing to the success of the organisation.
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns (S1-3)
The Group has an occupational health and safety register to record incidents, accidents and unsafe situations that
may lead to incidents or accidents. All employees of the Group can keep a record of these incidents, thus ensuring
that all relevant incidents are recorded and dealt with appropriately. This tool reinforces the safety culture within the
company. Encouraging employees to take an active part in the health and safety process creates a safer working
environment where everyone feels responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues. In addition, the register
provides the opportunity to track statistics, which is essential for analysing the frequency of incidents, causes and
locations of unsafe situations.
Additional information on communication channels is disclosed in the Business Ethics section of ESRS G1, Corporate
Culture and Business Ethics Policy.

Employee engagement survey
Our long-term success is based on engaged and motivated people. As an employer, we strive to grow with our people.
Each year we conduct an employee engagement survey to determine the current level of engagement of our
employees, to assess how well our employees feel we are using employee engagement opportunities in the
organisation, to identify the strengths of our employees' experiences and to identify areas for improvement that are a
priority to maintain and strengthen employee engagement. Employee engagement is the responsibility of the HR
department.

In 2024 the Group’s overall employee engagement rate is 53%, i.e., 4% lower in comparison to the Group’s rate for
the year 2023. This fluctuation is due to significant changes in the Group's scale, including the acquisition of a new
manufacturing plant in Poland and the spin-off of companies operating in Lithuania.
The results of engagement survey are presented and discussed with employees, which:
• Sets a direction of working conditions’ improvement.
• Helps prepare/develop training programs.
• Provides valuable insights on wage and benefit system modification.
• Gives us a better understanding on the competence of a manager.
We encourage and strive to create the conditions to our employees to express their observations, complaints, and
deal with any work-related issues as soon as they occur.
Improving the employee engagement
According to the results of the survey, the most positive employee experiences highlight the strengths of our
organisational culture. The survey also identified 3 priority areas for improvement, which are the focus of the Group
companies to increase employee engagement. The results of the survey show that both the most positive evaluations
and the results of areas for improvement have improved over the year. Group companies continue with a performance
improvement plan that helps both maintain and grow employee engagement.

Dialogue and feedback
We understand the meaning of feedback as a very important and significant work for the manager, the employee, and
the company. The feedback is given to employees at all levels and is always based on gender equality and other non-
discrimination grounds at the Group companies. The feedback is provided in the form of performance discussion,
which aims to discuss employee performance, career perspectives and development expectations, strengthening
employee motivation to pursue new goals actively, thus contributing to the good performance of the Group.
The performance objectives of the Group companies are set for the year, usually during the strategic session of the
top management while using X matrix strategy development tool. Objectives are delegated in departments to
employees of all levels. Objectives are measured by setting KPIs (key performance indicators) and performance is
periodically reviewed. The periodicity of the discussion is determined by the nature of the objectives at different levels
of organisation, in the position groups: for managers, the performance is discussed during the annual performance
evaluation, for specialists – quarterly, for workers – daily and monthly during the meetings, while training and
instructing. The results of the performance evaluation and feedback interview are completed and confirmed in the
goal evaluation forms.
Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material
risks and opportunities (S1-5)
The Group's strategic objectives include three social aspects related to its workforce. These address the identified
material impact of the Group's activities on its employees. The objectives help to meet the expectations of
stakeholders (such as employees, the community or policy makers), mitigate risks, and increase the positive impact
on the workforce to ensure the success of the Group.

The Group takes care of its employees and devotes particular attention and resources to reducing and maintaining
staff turnover, and improving these indicators is included in the Group's strategic objectives. The factors that have led
to the positive change in retention and turnover rates are complex. Competitive remuneration is one of the most
important factors in retaining existing staff and attracting new talent. The Group continuously monitors the labour
market situation, remuneration forecasts, takes into account the analytics of the available data and reviews the
remuneration system during the year. Other important factors include interesting and meaningful work, opportunities
for employees to develop their competences, involvement of employees in ongoing projects, implementation of
strategic objectives and recognition of employees for their achievements.

*Included in accordance with ESRS requirements
In 2024, the number of employees increased by more than 20% compared to 2023, driven by the acquisition of a new
manufacturing plant in Poland, which contributed to the expansion of operations and the Group's overall headcount
growth.

The largest part of the Group's companies is located in Lithuania, where the largest number of employees work – 76%
of all the Group's employees. The number of employees in the other three countries is smaller due to the smaller
number of companies and accounts for the remaining 24%.
Due to the current situation in Ukraine, we are currently not providing data on employee turnover, engagement and
other social indicators. We understand the importance of this information, but in an unstable environment, we strive
to ensure data accuracy and employee safety.
Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue (S1-8)
We respect the right of workers to join, organise or not, including the right to form and join trade unions to defend their
interests. Workers have the right to bargain collectively freely. Workers shall not be discriminated against, intimidated
or harassed in the exercise of these rights.
The social dialogue between the employer and the employees of the Group companies is ensured together with the
existing trade unions and/or work councils. The relations of Grigeo Group AB, Grigeo Hygiene UAB, Grigeo Tissue
UAB and Grigeo Klaipėda AB with the employees are defined by the provisions of the collective agreement. 44% of
the Group's employees are covered by a collective agreement. There are no collective agreements outside of

Adequate wages (S1-10)
A transparent and clear wage management system, approved in 2020 and renewed in 2023, helps to retain and attract
talents, promotes productive and efficient work, and allows fair renumeration for work performed and results achieved.
The payment system is based on the following principles and foundations:
• gender equality and non-discrimination on other basis,
• transparency of the payment system within the Group,
• fair calculation and determination of payment,
• the determination of an appropriate level of payment for all employees of the Group,
• the encouragement of employees to develop and improve their skills,
• appropriate recognition of employee performance and additional monetary incentives and bonuses for
achieving targets.
In all our companies of the Group, positions are divided into three main groups: managers (2 levels), specialists (4
levels) and workers (3 levels). Additional monetary incentive systems are applied to all groups of positions or certain
individual positions.
The basic wage is determined based on the category and level of position as well as objective criteria relating to
employee‘s education, experience, competencies, abilities in relation of responsibility degree, the nature and
complexity of work performed, and the results obtained, the market situation is also taken into account to ensure a
fair wage.
We take care of our employees, ensuring that they feel engaged, motivated and secure. We provide all the social
guarantees such as retirement benefits, parental leave, sickness, unemployment, accident and acquired disability
benefits, etc. We also give employees access to additional benefits. Employees of Group companies are covered by
accident insurance, accident benefits, critical illness benefits or supplementary health insurance. The list of fringe
benefits is regularly reviewed in line with employee needs. Employees are very appreciative of the fringe benefits and
actively take advantage of them.
Training and skills development metrics (S1-13)
Operating in paper and wood industry means running powerful, complex, and often potentially hazardous equipment.
To reduce the likelihood of potential risks, the control and operation of the machines mentioned in the production
process descriptions can only be entrusted to highly skilled operators.
So that we remain capable to deliver production to our clients and to ensure our business is operational, we need a
robust array of skills, experience, and knowledge. Our employee training and education programme is designed to
maximise the potential of all employees and provide them with professional growth opportunities.
Considering a wide range of responsibilities and functions, we designed and keep on improving three different
frameworks for training and education:
• Training programmes for production workers.
• Professional growth programmes for specialists.
• Need-based professional improvement training for the management.
It is in our best interest to encourage employees to seek career development within our Group. Our dedicated training
coordinators oversee collecting emerging demand for training, both bottom up and top down. This process helps us
to ensure:
• The number of Qualified Employees required to deliver our products and services.
• Improvement of employees' qualification.
• Act along the company's values in daily activities.
• Fair remuneration for each employee, considering acquired qualifications.
Supervision & management of training programmes:
• Dedicated personnel consult the leadership and heads of departments to assess the demand and possibilities
for training.
• Training coordinators monitor the market for third-party trainings and provide suggestions to relevant
managers.
• Special attention is devoted to professional attestation subject to expiration and re-attestation.
• COVID-19 pandemic led us to consider personal wellbeing and emotional support seminars and trainings.

Health and safety metrics (S1-14)
General safety guidelines for every employee:
In 2016, our companies, with an exception of Mena PAK AT, implemented the OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational
Health and Safety Management Standard (ISO 45001 from 2021). This standard helps ensure the Group's
occupational health and safety, reducing the likelihood of accidents at work and occupational morbidity. Group-wide
we strive to achieve a zero-accident workplace.
Key features of our occupational safety and health (hereafter – OSH) system:
• Compliance with legal requirements and the code of Business Ethics.
• Fostering high awareness and personal interest.
• Encouraging initiative to actively contribute.
• Providing workers with safe and healthy working conditions to prevent work-related injuries and illness.
• Identifying and eliminating hazards in a timely manner.
• Prioritising OSH standards in procurement processes and selecting suppliers.
• Constantly analysing, assessing, and implementing the needs of stakeholders; looking for ways to implement
their requirements more effectively.
• Strict control over any contractor operating within our facilities.
• OSH management applies to all employees and contractors, visitors, suppliers, interns.
• Constant training and timely certification of people in charge.
We continuously monitor and identify risk factors and hazards to ensure a safe and healthy working environment.
Hazard identification
Key risk factors
• In 2024, we operated without a single life-changing accident. No workers (both our
employees and those employed by our contractors) suffered a major injury.
• We are dedicated to maintaining a safe and reliable workplace for everybody performing
their duties within our Group.
• Occupational risk assessment is performed by an external company.
• The risk assessment of production processes performed internally involves OSH
specialists, production management, employees, and the quality department.
• Incident investigation – through a register of unsafe situations or in the event of a more
serious incident, a team is selected to investigate the incident.
• Constantly evaluating risk factors.
• Close cooperation with production workers daily.
• Rotating parts of equipment.
• Moving transport, loading
works.
• Night work.
• Work at height.
• Works in wells.
• Manual lifting of loads.
• Working with chemicals.
• Use of potentially dangerous
equipment (cranes, pressure
vessels, elevators).

Accident prevention
To avoid negative impacts and risks to our own workforce, continuous employee involvement is essential. All workers
must report potentially hazardous work situations. All identified situations are recorded and managed in a register of
unsafe work situations.
• A mobile application is designed to log technical problems. Registered problems travel to the system, where
technical staff plans repairs or reacts quickly to the problem.
• In case an employee is not willing or able to use a mobile app, paper form might be used.
• Safety issues are addressed during daily shift meetings.
• All employees have access to OSH specialists.
• Nobody is allowed to solve technical problems independently.
• Employees are represented in occupational health and safety committee.
• Employees are involved evaluating risks and hazards.
• All personal and group protective gear is tested and approved by production workers.
• We promote employees’ responsibility, and it is always emphasised that, although the employer is responsible
for the safety and health of workers, all safety remains in the hands of the workers themselves.
OSH committees composed of employer and employee representatives have been set up in the companies
of the Group. Main responsibilities:
• Analysis and assessment of the state of safety and health of employees.
• Consideration of preventive measures to prevent accidents at work and occupational diseases.
• Analysis of safety training and instruction of employees in every company.
• Observation of the established procedure and the provision of employees with collective and personal
protective equipment and the supervision of these measures.
To follow up on the Group's social strategic target, data on accidents at work are collected and recorded, and progress
is monitored. The TRI indicator is used to monitor occupational accidents:

Compensation metrics (pay gap and total compensation) (S1-16)
The Group adheres to the principle of equal opportunities and ensures that all employees are assessed on the basis
of their competences, experience and work results, regardless of their gender. Salaries in our organization are
determined objectively, based on clear criteria such as the nature of the work, level of responsibility and professional
skills.
We understand that in certain areas or positions there may be natural differences in gender distribution due to general
market trends or sector specificities. However, this does not in any way constitute discrimination - our goal is to create
equal conditions for all employees to grow and develop in their careers.

ESRS S2 Workers in the value chain
Interests and views of stakeholder (ESRS 2 SBM-2)
The assessment of the double materiality of S2 ESRS value chain workers was conducted based on an analysis of
publicly available sources. Due to the need for additional resources, the collected information was limited, and the
assessment was therefore constrained to existing data from reliable public sources.
Despite the limitations in available information, the analysis identified two significant themes: adequate wages and
health and safety. These areas are crucial for the well-being of value chain workers and have a direct impact on their
working conditions. While the lack of more detailed data restricted deeper analysis, publicly available information
allowed for the identification of key trends and an understanding of the main challenges in these areas.
Given the limited availability of data, there are plans to allocate more time and resources in the future to assess these
topics as comprehensively as possible. Further analysis will provide more detailed data, engage a broader range of
stakeholders, and enhance the understanding of the situation of value chain workers. This will support more informed
decision-making and strengthen the organization’s responsibility for employee well-being.

Policies related to value chain workers (S2-1)
In order to ensure high standards of responsibility, we have a Supplier Code of Conduct that establishes clear
requirements for suppliers and ensures compliance. This code is an essential tool for promoting fair labor practices,
protecting workers' rights, and upholding ethical business conduct throughout the supply chain. It sets out key
principles related to workers' rights, equal opportunities, fair wages, working hours regulation, and safe and healthy
working conditions. Additionally, the code encourages environmental and social responsibility initiatives, obligates
suppliers to adhere to high business ethics standards, and ensures transparency in their operations.
The Code of Conduct not only helps protect workers from potential exploitation or unfair working conditions but also
fosters long-term collaboration with responsible suppliers. Compliance with the code contributes to sustainable
business development, reduces supply chain risks, and enhances trust among partners and stakeholders.

ESRS S3 Affected communities
Interests and views of stakeholders (ESRS 2 SBM-2)
The Group's corporate activities have many points of contact with local communities, which are one of our important
stakeholders. We want to be a valuable part of the community and we assess our impact, risks and opportunities
related to this. We strive to avoid and minimise our negative impacts.
Policies related to affected communities (S3-1)
The Group's impacts and opportunities relating to affected communities are described in our Code of Ethics and
Environmental Policy. The Group's businesses adhere to important internationally recognised instruments such as
the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Group respects and guarantees human rights and freedoms as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights of the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms of the Council of Europe, the Conventions of the International Labour Organisation and other
international and national legislation.

Processes for engaging with affected communities about impacts (S3-2)
The Group respects the local environment in which it operates and seeks to maintain good relations with local
communities and engage with affected communities. Affected communities are involved in impact assessment
processes. Each time an EIA procedure is carried out, a consultation process is carried out, during which changes
and news are presented and interested parties are given the opportunity to make comments, observations and ask
questions. There is no specific function assigned to ensure the involvement of affected communities. This depends
on the project and the responsibilities assigned. The main affected communities are located in the areas close to the
production sites – Grigiškės and Klaipėda. The report did not assess the affected communities in the value chain.
Taking action on material impacts on affected communities, and approaches to managing material risks and
pursuing material opportunities related to affected communities, and effectiveness of those actions (S3-4)
Odour management at Grigeo Klaipėda
Located in the centre of Klaipėda city, we recycle paper waste. We find various microorganisms (molds, fungi,
bacteria) in paper raw material – waste paper, which can cause a strong odour under certain conditions. Based on
our research, the intensity of the odour is dependent on the quality of paper being recycled. Recycled paper is made
up of a larger amount of short fibres and is often tainted with chemicals, glues and other substances, which directly
increase water pollution. In addition, we use raw water from the Curonian Lagoon, which adds contamination to the
process and accelerates the reproduction of microbes.
In 2024, we did not receive any reports from the authorities, but we continue to monitor and follow the situation
regarding odors. In 2025, it is planned to install appropriate ozonation systems to reduce odors at air pollution sources.
Support for communities
The Group contributes to a positive impact on the communities by creating jobs and supporting communities. Not only
do we support local communities in Klaipėda and Grigiškės, but we also work with other organisations. The Group's
companies provide financial support for the implementation of environmental and social projects and initiatives of
various external organisations. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Group has been supporting Ukraine by
providing humanitarian and financial support to charities and aid organisations. In 2024, the implementation of the
support agreement between AB Grigeo Klaipėda and Klaipėda University continued in order to develop solutions to

Our mission and values (as described in section 1. Business Model, under the Our Mission and Values subsection)
values are based on the Group's long history and business experience. We create a motivating company culture,
which is why it is important to us how we behave and the principles on which we base our business. Our core values

We are committed to cultivating a motivating corporate culture, emphasizing the way we act and the principles that
shape our business. In 2024, the Group organized Values and Behavior Workshops, bringing together employees

embody the Group’s values in their daily activities and what challenges might arise if these behaviors were not
followed.

In 2024, the Group's structure was changed by merging companies of similar activities under branch holdings, which
resulted in changes in the shareholders of individual companies, but the ultimate ownership and control of all group
companies remained unchanged within the Company. In 2024, the Group acquired two companies in Poland (see
Note 7) and transferred the tissue paper production business from AB "Grigeo Group" to UAB "Grigeo Tissue" which
net assets’ carrying amount was EUR 30,105 thousand. The transferred business was valued at EUR 76 million by
independent appraisers, and accordingly, share capital of UAB "Grigeo Hygiene" was increased by the same
amount. In 2023 there were no significant changes.

Revenue was projected based on the management’s assumptions as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024, respectively, which forecast that future revenue will increase due to investments in the enhancement of operational efficiency of the production facilities and intensification of sales actions. As at 31 December 2024, projected investments for the upcoming period of 5 years amounted to EUR 1,776 thousand on average annually (31 December 2023: EUR 2,443 thousand; investments in 2024 were above EUR 5 million). Expenses were projected in view of actual expenses taking into consideration the projected level of inflation. In 2023 and 2024, cash flows beyond the five-year period were extrapolated using a 1% annual growth rate that reflects the management’s best estimate in view of the current situation in this industry. The discount rate used by the management for a specific cash-generating unit was calculated as a weighted average cost of capital which is equal to 9.3% after tax for the cash generating units located in Lithuania as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 9.5%). The calculation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill. The assessment was performed without taking into consideration the legal process described in Note 33 of the financial statements. Regarding the assessment of the recoverable amount of the above-mentioned cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the management believes that no possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to materially exceed its recoverable amount. The sensitivity analysis of the recoverable value calculation of the investment in Grigeo Klaipėda AB did not identify any additional indications of goodwill impairment. In 2024, Grigeo Hygiene UAB acquired 100% of Grigeo Tissue sp. z o.o (at the time of acquisition, the company was named Niedomickie Zakłady Papiernicze sp. z o.o), which also owns 100% of Energia Cieplna Niedomice sp. z o.o. The transaction amount, including discounted payments due over three years, totaled EUR 21,629 thousand. In accordance with IFRS 3, the fair value of the acquired assets was determined as follows: | |||
Description | Carrying value at | Change | Fair value at |
acquisition | acquisition | ||
Property, plant and equipment | 9,822 | 9,755 | 19,577 |
Intangible assets | 676 | (671) | 5 |

Current liabilities | 3,391 | 1,784 | 5,174 |
Total equity and liability | 18,538 | 9,084 | 27,622 |
The exchange rate of 4.3121 PLN/EUR, as specified in the transaction agreements, was applied for the calculations, fixing the acquisition date on 31 March 2024. The EUR 4 thousand difference between the fair value and the transaction amount was recognized in the current year's statement of comprehensive income. |

29. Adjusted EBITDA
The management of the Group and the Company calculate the adjusted EBITDA – they monitor this performance
indicator both at the consolidated level and at the individual company level. The management believes that this
indicator is important for understanding the Group’s and the Company’s financial performance. The adjusted EBITDA
is calculated by adjusting profit from continuing operations to exclude the impact of taxation, net finance costs,
depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses/reversals related to goodwill, intangible assets, property plant and
equipment. The calculation also includes amortisation of subsidies related to non-current assets which affects the
profit for the period.
The adjusted EBITDA as a performance indicator is not established by IFRS. The Group’s definition of the adjusted
EBITDA may not match with similarly named performance indicators and disclosures of other entities.
