The data collection, validation and consolidation process involved the main company functions, in compliance with the principles of accuracy, comparability, clarity, timeliness and reliability set out in the GRI Standards.
The 2025 Sustainability Report is subject to an independent limited assurance engagement by KPMG S.p.A. For further details, please refer to the assurance report in the final sections of the document.
As a Benefit Corporation , Cellularline S.p.A. annually prepares an Impact Report , attached to its statutory financial statements, which details the pursuit of the Common Benefit Purposes, the results achieved and its future goals.

ESG REPORT 2025The Cellularline Group’s business model is geared towards the creation of long-term sustainable value , through the management of the key stages of the value chain – from product design to development, to multi-channel distribution – with a view to integrating economic performance, the enhancement of people and the reduction of environmental impacts.
This operational model is the foundation for ESG strategic choices and the pursuit of Cellularline S.p.A.’s Common Benefit Purposes as a Benefit Corporation. Sustainability is a cross-functional element of the governance model and an enabler for competitiveness, talent attraction, stronger stakeholder relations and the generation of positive and lasting impacts for people, communities and the environment.
The ways in which the business model contributes to generating positive impacts for people, society and the environment are detailed in the 2025 Impact Report , which serves as the primary benchmark for measuring and monitoring impact performance.Over the last financial year, the Group further consolidated its ESG evolution through a structured assessment of economic, social and environmental performance, aimed at defining an increasingly integrated and long-term strategy. This journey is supported by the strong commitment of the Board of Directors and the direct involvement of the Board, which oversees the integration of sustainability into the company’s decision-making processes and strategic priorities.
The adoption of the B Impact Assessment (BIA) at Group level represented a further milestone in the maturity of the sustainability framework , enabling a systematic evaluation of impact areas and strengthening the alignment of the reporting process with international Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards , also supported by the collaboration protocol between B Lab and GRI.
Specifically, in 2025, the integration of several impact improvement actions allowed Cellularline S.p.A. to achieve a self-assessment score of 90.3 , strengthening the management of the Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers areas in line with the priorities defined by the Sustainability Master Plan and with the evolution of the business model towards increasingly responsible, inclusive growth that generates shared value .The business model as a driver for creating value and impact Score obtained with the assessment tool (score given by the BIA self-assessment)90,3

ESG REPORT 2025Materiality analysis is a key tool for identifying ESG topics relevant to the Group and its stakeholders.
In 2025 , in line with the approach adopted in the previous year, the Cellularline Group confirmed the results of the materiality analysis conducted according to the GRI 2021 Standards (GRI 3 - Material Topics) , based on the assessment of the impacts generated by the company’s activities on the economy, the environment and people, including human rights ( inside-out perspective ).
In previous years, Cellularline Group management was involved in a structured process of identifying and evaluating material topics to ensure alignment between corporate strategic priorities and stakeholder expectations.
For the 2025 financial year, the analysis conducted in previous years was therefore confirmed, with no significant changes in terms of impacts and material topics reported.
The analysis, the process of which is outlined below as implemented in previous financial years, was developed using an approach focused on external environmental impacts, aiming to identify the most relevant topics for Top Management within a framework of sustainable value creation and transparency.Our priorities

assessment
As part of the materiality analysis process, individual interviews were conducted with members of the Group’s management for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the impacts associated with the material topics. Each impact was assessed according to its magnitude and probability of occurrence, providing a structured basis for the subsequent prioritization of material topics.
Prioritising
impacts and grouping
material topics
The collected assessments were aggregated for each material topic in order to define a synthetic significance index, calculated as the product of the magnitude and probability of the associated impacts. This quantitative approach enabled an objective measurement of the overall relevance of the topics, supporting a structured prioritization process to inform the definition of the Group’s sustainability strategies.+ + =
Reference
context analysis
A structured, three-tiered analysis – covering internal, industry benchmark, and contextual factors – was conducted to identify the material topics for the Cellularline Group, taking into account its operations, business relationships, sustainability context, and stakeholder expectations. The analysis included a systematic comparison with the results of the previous year, in order to validate the material topics already identified and verify their continuing relevance or the possible emergence of new priorities.
Impact
classification
For each of the relevant topics that emerged from the materiality analysis, the positive and negative, current and potential, impacts generated by the Group’s activities were analysed. The impact mapping was subsequently validated and integrated through the direct involvement of Cellularline’s management to ensure accuracy, consistency, and relevance to the organization’s operational and strategic context.
Identification of material topics In order to update the material topics, a methodological approach based on the innovations introduced by standard GRI 3 - Material Topics was used.

identification
The assessment of impacts associated with material topics was carried out through individual interviews with the heads of the main corporate functions. These managers analyzed the impacts in relation to their respective areas of expertise, considering the perspective of relevant external stakeholders, in line with the impact materiality (inside out) approach. The objective was to assess the effects generated on the economy, environment, and people, including human rights.
Each impact was scored on the basis of two analytical dimensions:
Assessment
driver
Participants were asked to make a structured judgement in response to the following questions:Do you believe Cellularline’s activities have a significant impact on the economy, the environment, or people?Probability of occurrence: estimated according to the time horizon within which the impact has already occurred or is likely to occur (e.g. within 3-5 years, over 10 years).Scope :
magnitude and spread of impact;Significance :
severity of the

generated;Remediability :

or compensating
for the impact.Magnitude of the impact: assessed according to three main drivers:
How likely is it that such an impact will or could occur?
How severe would this impact be, in terms of consequences and scope?

Our impacts
Below is a description of the material topics and of the positive and negative impacts identified.
The priority given to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda derives from the materiality analysis process conducted according to the GRI Standards and reflects the nature of Cellularline S.p.A. as a Benefit Corporation.
The SDGs therefore represent a cross-cutting interpretation of the positive and negative impacts generated by the Group, as well as a reference for the integration between the ESG strategy, the Common Benefit Goals and the impact objectives reported in the 2025 Impact Report.

During 2025, the Group launched an initial double materiality assessment , inspired by the operational practices set out in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The analysis integrated an initial assessment of financial materiality with the impact materiality perspective of the traditional GRI methodological framework already implemented by the Group. According to this logic, an issue can be considered significant not only for its impacts on people, the environment and society, but also for its long-term economic and financial effects. The decision to integrate a double materiality perspective aims at a progressive alignment with future European regulatory requirements, best practices and the information needs of strategic partners.
The results of the double materiality did not lead to changes in the set of GRI material topics reported in this document, allowing the stability and comparability of the information to be maintained. Evolution of the regulatory context and

Model 231 and Code of Ethics The Group adopts an Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 , aimed at preventing offences and disseminating a corporate culture based on ethics, integrity and transparency.
In parallel with Model 231, the Code of Ethics adopted by the Group defines the ethical principles and rules of conduct that guide the behaviour of employees, directors, suppliers and partners. No corruption incidents or relevant breaches occurred during 2025.Whistleblowing and integrity In line with the provisions of EU legislation, the Group provides employees and stakeholders with a whistleblowing platform compliant with current legislation, to confidentially and securely report non-compliant conduct or violations of the Code of Ethics and Model 231. The platform can be accessed via the following link:
https://cellularline.integrity.complylog.com/ .
As a result of the reports received, the company can take corrective measures to remedy any legal or regulatory violations and prevent the recurrence of non-compliant conduct.
The reports are handled by the Supervisory Body , which operates in full autonomy and independence, guaranteeing the whistleblower’s protection from any form of retaliation.
The Supervisory Body may rely on the support of the Internal Auditor and external consultants for any relevant preliminary activity.
Remuneration Policy and value creation The Group’s Remuneration Policy defines the principles and criteria for determining the remuneration of Directors, Key Management Personnel and members of the auditing bodies, in line with the governance model, the corporate strategy and the objectives of creating sustainable value in the medium to long term. The Policy governs the fixed and variable components of remuneration, providing for incentive mechanisms aimed at aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders and relevant stakeholders, including by linking variable remuneration to the achievement of economic and financial objectives and, progressively, ESG objectives.
In 2025, the Group continued the process of gradually integrating ESG factors into incentive systems , in line with the provisions of the Sustainability Master Plan and with the evolution of the impact measurement model, with the aim of strengthening the alignment between performance, sustainability and long-term value creation.
The process of defining and updating the Remuneration Policy is entrusted to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which operates in compliance with the applicable legislative and regulatory provisions, making use, where appropriate, of comparative market analyses. The Policy is submitted for the approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting, according to the procedures and time-scales set forth by the legislation in force, and its implementation is monitored by the governing bodies, in order to ensure its consistency, correct application and alignment with the Group’s strategic guidelines.

ESG REPORT 2025GOVERNANCE | 4.4 RESPONSIBLE TAX MANAGEMENT
The Group’s tax strategy is based on principles of transparency, fairness, and regulatory compliance , with a low tax risk appetite.
The Group:
• ensures compliance with tax regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates;
• actively collaborates with the competent authorities;
• does not adopt aggressive tax strategies or strategies lacking economic substance.
As of 31 December 2025, responsibility for tax management is entrusted to the Group Accounting, Tax and Credit Director, in coordination with the Group CFO, with the aim of ensuring operational efficiency and full compliance with applicable regulations. These figures ensure that tax policies are consistent with the Group’s strategic objectives, the internal control system and the relevant regulations. The administrative bodies are kept informed of the main issues and significant tax risks, as well as the tax impacts of significant extraordinary transactions. The approach taken to tax planning is integrated into the Group’s business, administrative and financial processes. The functions involved operate according to formalised procedures that regulate the management of tax compliance, with the utmost transparency and traceability.
Tax choices are based on reasonable and well-founded interpretations, even in the presence of complex regulations. Tax risks are constantly monitored, analysed internally, and, where necessary, managed with the support of qualified consultants.Responsible tax
management
The Group’s tax contribution is divided into several tax
categories, including:
• Income taxes (e.g. corporate income tax);
• Property taxes (e.g. property and real estate taxes);
• Employment taxes (e.g. contributions and withholdings paid on behalf of employees);
• Indirect taxes (e.g. VAT, excise duties, customs
duties);
• Taxes on real estate transactions (e.g. sale or rental of real estate).Reports can be made through the internal whistleblowing channels, through which the Group takes into account the expectations and concerns expressed by internal and external stakeholders.
The tax information included in the financial statements and financial documents is subject to external assurance as part of the statutory audit , which is carried out by an independent auditor. Where applicable, these audits provide a useful reference to strengthen the reliability of the Group’s tax disclosures to stakeholders.
The Group maintains an open, transparent and collaborative dialogue with the competent tax authorities, providing accurate and timely information and handling any queries or audits in a constructive manner, in accordance with the applicable roles and regulations.
At the same time, the Company does not engage in lobbying activities in tax matters. Any contributions to public consultations or policy initiatives are made transparently and in line with the principles of fairness, accountability and regulatory compliance.

Following the assessment process undertaken in previous years through the BIA, two complementary customer satisfaction measurement tools were introduced and structured in 2025, providing a more comprehensive and reliable view of the end-user
experience:
an internal sentiment assessment system, based on qualitative analysis of the interactions managed by Consumer Care;
a direct consumer survey , deployed on a voluntary basis upon ticket closure.
The integration of these tools enabled a more informed and systematic measurement of service perception , enhancing the organisation’s ability to identify critical issues, improvement opportunities and best practices.
In 2025, the Group also launched a customer support system for the Interphone brand based on the integration of Artificial Intelligence technologies within the brand’s web portal. The solution offers a continuous 24/7 service, with immediate response times for questions about products, features and technical specifications. The initiative represents a further step in the digital evolution of Consumer Care, with the aim of improving the accessibility, speed and effectiveness of support, while ensuring a more fluid and autonomous user experience.
2025 therefore serves as the baseline year for the structured measurement of customer satisfaction, against which the 2026 improvement objectives and KPIs have been defined and set out in the Impact Report.At the same time, the Group has continued to strengthen its omnichannel approach, developing an increasingly integrated collaboration with business partners and major retailers.
In 2025, initiatives focused on:
• analysis of sellout data and market
dynamics;
• product assortment optimisation;
• development of display materials and content to support physical and digital points of sale;
• training of the sales force and store personnel.

In a context characterised by technological, organisational and cultural transformations, the Group promotes an increasingly human-centric model, focused on the development of skills, leadership and the employee experience, aiming to strengthen engagement, organisational effectiveness and execution capabilities in support of strategic business priorities.
In recent years, Cellularline has progressively consolidated the integration of People & Culture issues within the Group’s strategy, through a structured approach aimed at combining performance, professional growth, organisational well-being and sustainability. From this perspective, human capital represents not only a distinctive element of the corporate culture, but also a key lever for innovation, transformation and the creation of shared value.In 2025, the Group further strengthened its organisational evolution and social impact measurement journey in the People & Community areas, building on the work developed through the Benefit Impact Assessment (BIA). This process helped increase organisational awareness regarding development priorities and the strategic capabilities needed to support the Group’s future growth in a responsible, inclusive and sustainable manner.
During the year, HR initiatives became increasingly integrated and cross-functional, evolving towards a comprehensive framework of people management processes and tools aligned with the Common Benefit Purposes of Cellularline S.p.A. and with a long-
term vision oriented towards generating positive and lasting impacts.
In this context, the Group has also embarked on a path of evolution and harmonisation of its cultural and value identity, encompassing purpose, vision, mission and corporate values, with the goal of strengthening consistency, a sense of belonging and strategic alignment within the organisation .
The activities developed in 2025 mainly fall within Purpose 1 - People Value , as reported in the 2025 Impact Report, which serves as the primary reference for monitoring the results achieved and defining future objectives in the People & Culture area. People &

ESG REPORT 2025 163PRODUCT & PACKAGING | 7.1 INTRODUCTION
The principles of innovation, quality and sustainability guide the development of our products and their packaging solutions.
Our design approach is geared towards creating value for the end user and progressively reducing impacts throughout the product’s entire life cycle.
In 2025, Cellularline’s evolution takes a decisive leap forward:
alongside the established quality, safety and compliance measures, the company introduces a structured approach to measuring the climate impact of its products, through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses and a certification process that complies with the most advanced international standards.
In December 2025, Cellularline also achieved the first ISO 14067-SA certification for Product Carbon Footprint in two product categories, marking a strategic milestone that lays the foundation for a progressive extension of the model during 2026.
This chapter outlines the approach and main initiatives developed by Cellularline in the areas of quality, safety, responsible marketing, innovation, packaging and supply chain management.
The details of the activities, the results achieved in 2025 and the 2026 KPIs relating to the Product Carbon Footprint are outlined in the 2025 Impact Report, which serves as the reference document for monitoring the progress of the journey.Introduction

“Quality and safety are
fundamental and
non-negotiable requirements
within our corporate strategy.
They are intrinsic to our organizational identity and are the hallmark of each accessory, giving it reliability,
consistent performance
and differentiating value in the marketplace.”Quality DNA Quality and safety are non-negotiable requirements and form an integral part of Cellularline’s identity. The Quality DNA program , which has been in place since 2018, is the framework through which we make our quality approach recognisable and consistent along the value chain, to safeguard the reliability and safety of products.
To ensure that the expected standards are maintained, we implement a structured system of controls and tests that includes: checks during the design phase, preproduction validation, quality controls at the production sites, tests of compliance with applicable regulations and spot checks on incoming batches. For more complex products, we use internationally accredited laboratories.
Cellularline’s quality control is based on four key principles: regulatory compliance, design excellence, interoperability and information transparency . With this in mind, the Group makes use, where applicable, of certifications issued by independent bodies of primary international importance, including TÜV Rheinland for specific product families, and actively participates in international technical consortia such as the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and the Wireless Power Consortium.
These memberships help promote high standards of standardisation, technological compatibility and safety throughout the product’s entire life cycle.
Protecting the health and safety of consumers is a top priority for Cellularline.
During 2025, no communication was received from market surveillance authorities concerning consumer health and safety; the figure is reported in the GRI disclosure (GRI 416-2) on the basis of the consolidated packages.What we have done:
our impact stories Quality is our best form of expression
ESG REPORT 2025Product quality and safety are fundamental and non-negotiable requirements for the Cellularline Group and constitute a structural safeguard throughout the product’s entire life cycle.
The approach adopted is based on an integrated system of controls, which includes compliance with applicable European and international regulations, attention to design and material selection, preproduction validation, safety testing and quality checks on incoming batches.
Cellularline adheres to internationally recognised consortia and technical standards (including the Bluetooth SIG and the Wireless Power Consortium) and, where applicable, uses third-party certifications to guarantee the safety and reliability of its products.
Quality management is supported by an ISO 9001:2015 certified system, oriented towards continuous improvement, risk prevention and the protection of the end user.
Particular attention is paid to the health and safety of consumers :
suppliers are required to comply with European regulations on hazardous materials and substances, to protect both the end user and the operators involved in the production processes.Quality, safety and

Cellularline promotes transparent, accurate and structured communication, both internally and to the market, with special attention to the information provided to customers and end users in relation to the correct use of products, safety and end-of-life management.
In line with its approach to quality and sustainability, the company ensures the provision of clear user manuals that comply with current regulations , including mandatory information on safety and the responsible disposal of end-of-life equipment.
Over the last few years, the Group has strengthened its oversight over correct environmental labelling and the transparency of information for consumers, also through the systematic inclusion of disposal instructions on packaging and the use of QR codes that link to dedicated digital content, available in multiple languages, in order to facilitate informed and responsible consumer behaviour.
The approach to responsible communication is formalised in the Ethical Marketing Manifesto , which defines the guiding principles of marketing and communication activities in relation to people, the environment and products, and guides the development of campaigns and information content.
To support transparency towards stakeholders, the Group also provides a dedicated sustainability section on the corporate website, which documents the sustainability journey, the main initiatives undertaken and the periodic publication of sustainability reports.

Product
innovation
and sustainability
Over the years, Cellularline has progressively strengthened its commitment to the development of sustainability-oriented solutions, with an integrated approach that involves the selection of materials, packaging design and transparent communication to the end consumer.
At the same time, the Group has continued to integrate sustainability criteria into an increasing number of product categories, through the progressive introduction of recycled materials and design solutions aimed at reducing the use of virgin plastic, while preserving the high quality, safety and performance standards that characterise Cellularline’s product range.Sustainable innovation and initiatives with an
environmental impact
Alongside the development of product and packaging solutions with a lower environmental impact, in 2025 the Group continued to integrate sustainable innovation through initiatives with a direct environmental impact , consistent with the company’s values and long-term vision.
In particular, the BECOME line represents not only a range of ecofriendly accessories, but also a vehicle for a tangible commitment to environmental protection. Through its participation in the international “1% for the Planet” program, the Group allocates 1% of the turnover generated by the line to non-
profit organisations committed to the protection of natural ecosystems.
Over the years, contributions have been donated to organisations such as Sea Shepherd , which is active in the defence of the oceans, and to the Operation Clean Waves campaign, focused on the removal of plastic and persistent solid waste from marine environments. These initiatives strengthen the link between product innovation, environmental responsibility and consumer awareness towards more conscious purchasing choices.

ESG REPORT 2025Impact
measurement and
life cycle analysis 2025 represents a strategic step in the Cellularline Group’s journey to sustainable innovation. During the year, the company strengthened its approach to responsible design by introducing structured tools for measuring and assessing environmental impacts throughout the product life cycle.
In this context, in December 2025 Cellularline obtained the first ISO 14067-SA (Product Carbon Footprint -
Systematic Approach) certification for two product categories , following the completion of comprehensive LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) analyses, extended to the main life cycle stages:
raw material sourcing, production, transport and end of life.The activities carried out enabled the Group to:
identify the main emission hot spots along the value chain;
progressively integrate
environmental evidence
into product research, design and
development processes;
build a solid methodological foundation for the systematic use of environmental metrics to support innovation decisions, product portfolio evolution and continuous improvement.
This path marks the evolution from an approach focused mainly on design and material characteristics to an increasingly structured, measurable and data-driven model of sustainable innovation, in line with Purpose 3 - Value for the environment and future generations as reported in the 2025 Impact Report. Prospects for development In the next financial year, the Group will continue integrating sustainability principles into product research, development and innovation processes, with the aim of progressively extending the measurement of the Product Carbon Footprint to a growing number of families and items, in line with the targets defined in the Impact Report.
The approach to innovation will continue to evolve according to an increasingly data-driven and product life cycle-oriented logic, integrating environmental assessments into decision-making and design processes . In this context, the Group intends to further strengthen its ability to combine technological performance, quality and reliability with the progressive reduction of environmental impacts, consolidating sustainability as a strategic driver for competitiveness , innovation and long-term value creation.

Supplier
management
Responsible supply chain management is a strategic element for the Cellularline Group, both in terms of quality and operational continuity and for the management of environmental and social impacts along the value chain.
The Group recognises that its ESG performance is closely linked to that of its supply partners and therefore promotes an approach based on collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement .
In 2025 , Cellularline continued its path of structuring and consolidating sustainability safeguards in the supply chain, strengthening tools and processes already initiated in previous years and integrating them more systematically into procurement and vendor management
processes.ESG survey
and supplier evaluation During 2025, the ESG Survey process for suppliers was further consolidated and integrated into the qualification protocols. Social oversight and responsibility in the supply chain The Group is a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) program promoted by amfori , which is adopted as a benchmark for monitoring and improving working conditions along the supply chain.
In 2025, the BSCI protocol was further integrated into the supplier qualification, assessment and renewal processe s, strengthening the
capacity to:
• monitor compliance with ethical and social requirements;
• promptly identify any non-compliance;
• activate improvement plans shared with partners.
This approach makes it possible to promote social standards consistent with the company’s values and to foster more responsible and resilient management of supply relationships.
The survey allows the collection of structured information on:
• environmental and quality
certifications;
• protection of human rights;
• health and safety in the workplace;
• environmental management and governance practices.
The data collected help improve transparency along the supply chain and to guide the dialogue with suppliers towards a path of co-evolution of ESG performance.
184 185
ESG REPORT 2025Vendor Rating, Code of Conduct and sustainable procurement To support the procurement process, the Group has developed Vendor Rating tools and qualification dashboards that allow suppliers to be assessed in a structured manner on the basis of ESG indicators, such as the presence of a Code of Ethics, the possession of relevant certifications and the adoption of responsible practices.
The Supplier Code of Conduct , signed by the majority of our suppliers, defines the principles and minimum requirements in terms of ethics, human rights, environmental protection and legality. The Code represents a fundamental reference for building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and shared responsibility. It fosters the adoption of responsible environmental behaviour, respect for and protection of human rights, and the promotion of safe, fair working conditions that respect people’s dignity. It promotes diversity, inclusion and professional development, urging supply chain partners to operate according to principles of ethics, transparency and full compliance with the applicable regulatory framework. In addition, it encourages the involvement of local communities and the suppliers’ implementation of socially responsible practices, contributing to a procurement model oriented towards the creation of shared value. Adherence to the Code is a prerequisite for all suppliers and an essential condition for the establishment and maintenance of business relationships. Compliance with the principles and commitments undertaken is subject to periodic monitoring and is part of a process of continuous improvement, aimed at strengthening an ethical, resilient supply chain aligned with the company’s Cellularline adopts a collaborative approach in supply chain management, aimed at supporting suppliers in their improvement processes and sharing relevant information. In the event of operational or contextual issues, the Group encourages timely and transparent dialogue, with the aim of ensuring business continuity and strengthening the resilience of the entire supply ecosystem.
Quantitative information on the geographical distribution of spending and local suppliers is reported in the GRI disclosure (GRI 204-1) .At the same time, the Sustainable Procurement Policy extends the application of ESG criteria to the procurement of goods and services not directly related to production processes, encouraging more informed choices in line with the Group’s sustainability strategy.
The goal of the policy is to reduce supply chain risks by integrating proactive management tools that effectively prevent or mitigate them.
The adoption of ESG criteria in procurement supports the creation of shared value, strengthens the resilience of procurement processes and helps promote a relationship model with suppliers based on transparency, ethics and responsibility.

The Group has embarked on a structured path to evolve the supplier qualification process, with the aim of strengthening transparency, risk management and the integration of ESG criteria along the supply chain .
This process is part of the broader path of consolidating sustainability governance and aims to support a more structured assessment of business partners, through the analysis of aspects related to regulatory compliance, ethics, operational reliability, human rights protection, occupational safety and environmental management. The initiative stems from the awareness that the sustainability of the supply chain is an increasingly important element both in terms of operational resilience and with respect to growing regulatory and stakeholder expectations. In this context, the Group is progressively integrating vendor assessment tools, ESG surveys and continuous monitoring criteria, with the aim of promoting supply relationships based on responsibility, transparency and continuous improvement. Communication with and engagement of stakeholders The Group will continue to promote responsible and transparent communication with its stakeholders, with a particular focus on consumers and business partners.
In line with the activities developed in 2025, communication will be aimed at supporting a clear and accessible understanding of product characteristics, methods of use and end-of-life indications, while at the same time highlighting the environmental impact initiatives integrated into the product lines.
By strengthening information channels and maintaining an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders, the Group intends to encourage more informed purchasing decisions and consolidate relationships based on trust, transparency and consistency with the Common Benefit Purposes.PRODUCT & PACKAGING | 7.6 FUTURE COMMITMENTS

ESG REPORT 2025Introduction For the Cellularline Group, environmental protection represents a founding principle and a responsibility towards present and future generations. The awareness that every corporate activity generates an impact on the ecosystem guides the Group’s strategic and operational choices, directing them towards a progressively more sustainable development model.
Over the years, Cellularline has embarked on a structured journey aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of its activities and products, taking action on processes, infrastructure, mobility, design and people engagement. This journey, initially oriented towards the collection and improvement of environmental performance, reached a new phase of maturity in 2025 .
Indeed, 2025 represents a key year for methodological structuring :
the Group formally launched the Net Zero Program , defining the organisational scope of the organisation’s Carbon Footprint in accordance with the ISO 140641 standard and initiating the structured collection of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data, with 2025 as the reference year. This step lays the foundations for obtaining ISO 140641 certification and for defining the first Decarbonisation Plan during 2026, as reported in the 2025 Impact Report .
Alongside the climate dimension, the Group continues to promote initiatives aimed at protecting biodiversity, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and the dissemination of responsible behaviour within the organisation, with a view to continuous improvement and stakeholder engagement.
This chapter illustrates the main actions, projects and results achieved in 2025 in the environmental field, in line with the Common Benefit Purposes and with the impact measurement and reporting process. ENVIRONMENT | 8.1 INTRODUCTION The Impact Report remains the reference document for defining medium-term objectives and KPIs and for monitoring the Group’s environmental performance, while this chapter supports its dissemination and understanding to a wider audience of stakeholders.
2025 is also the last year of impact measurement through the B Impact Assessment (BIA) ; from 2026, the Company will adopt an integrated assessment framework based on the KPIs of the Master Plan and the Impact Report, with the progressive integration of technical standards and third-party certifications.
Environment area score (BIA Impact Assessment 2025)23,5In line with the 2025 Impact Report, the Environment Chapter of the ESG Report aims to make the content relating to Purpose 3 - Value for the environment and future generations more accessible, readable and contextualised, offering a structured narrative of the actions taken and future commitments.

Monitoring environmental performance is a key lever for guiding the Group’s ecological transition and making the results of the initiatives implemented measurable. In line with GRI standards, Cellularline monitors the main environmental indicators (energy and emissions) over time and progressively integrates more robust instruments and methods for impact measurement and management.
Alongside the climate pathway, the Group continues to develop initiatives on renewable energy, biodiversity, sustainable mobility and internal resource management , with a view to continuous improvement and the active involvement of people and partners along the value chain.
In 2025, the Company launched the Net Zero program , defining the organisational scope of the Carbon Footprint measurement according to ISO 140641 and setting up a structured data collection system for the calculation of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions with 2025 as the reference year.
This work constitutes the methodological basis for the future achievement of ISO 140641 certification in 2026 and for the definition of the first Decarbonisation Plan by December 2026, as envisaged in the 2025 Impact Report. The Group has been integrating energy efficiency and self-production solutions for years, in particular through the photovoltaic plant at the Reggio Emilia headquarters. The initiative represents a concrete step in the process of reducing climate impact, contributing to the generation of energy from renewable sources and the reduction of dependence on the national electricity grid. The values of production, self-
consumption and feed-in to the grid are reported in the energy consumption metrics.
In 2025, Cellularline continued the Oasi della Biodiversità project in collaboration with 3Bee , aimed at regenerating the land and supporting pollinating insects through the planting of nectariferous plants and the use of data-driven monitoring tools (remote sensing and digital platforms). The initiative integrates the environmental dimension and people’s involvement, contributing to the dissemination of a corporate culture that is attentive to biodiversity issues. Although it carries out activities with a limited direct environmental impact, as it has no production facilities, Cellularline has implemented measures for proper internal waste management through the RicicliAmo project and a regulation dedicated to separate collection and disposal. To support the reduction of single-use items, the company provides new employees with reusable tools, including water bottles, cups and bamboo cutlery, promoting the spread of an internal culture dedicated to more sustainable daily behaviour.

The main corporate information and application systems are hosted at the WIIT Data Centre (Milan), and the electricity used is declared as certified by the Guarantee of Origin (GO) , supporting the alignment between IT infrastructures and sustainability objectives.
207 ESG REPORT 2025The Group has continued its sustainable mobility journey by updating the HomeWork Travel Plan (PSCL) and launching incentive and monitoring initiatives, including through digital tools to track travel and estimate impacts. The actions include carpooling programs, discounts for local public transport , the promotion of active mobility through the extension of the agreement with the Municipality of Reggio Emilia for the Bike to Work project until 2026, and organisational measures that help reduce travel, such as the promotion of remote working.
In parallel, the Group has defined a Corporate Travel Policy and updated the Car Policy , with guidelines aimed at favouring, where possible, mobility choices with a lower emission impact.Sustainable mobility:
PSCL, carpooling,
local public transport and travel policyIn 2025 , in continuity with previous years and in line with Purpose 3 - Value for the environment and future generations , the Group implemented initiatives to offset residual emissions through certified carbon credits .
In particular, during the year, 500 Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) were withdrawn, relating to the Guanaré Forest Plantation Project , a reforestation project developed in Uruguay and certified according to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) standards. The project is aimed at reforesting degraded grasslands and generates environmental and social cobenefits, including the protection of biodiversity, rural development and a contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda .
The offsetting initiatives are part of the Group’s Net Zero path as a complementary tool to the structural reduction and decarbonisation actions and are progressively aligned with the results of the emissions measurement system set up in 2025 according to the ISO 140641 standard, which serves as the basis for the definition of the first corporate Decarbonisation Plan in 2026 .Carbon offsets and credits - Guanaré Forest

Future
commitments
This Chapter represents the primary framework for synthesising and communicating the Group’s future environmental commitments. The objectives and actions described here derive directly from the 2025 Impact Report and constitute its operational and narrative expression within the ESG Report, with particular reference to the commitments planned for 2026.
In the next reporting period, the Cellularline Group will continue to strengthen its environmental strategy, consolidating what was structured in 2025 and directing future actions towards measurable, certifiable objectives that are progressively integrated into the business model .
Future environmental commitments are defined in line with Purpose 3 - Value for the environment and future generations of Cellularline S.p.A. as a Benefit Corporation. The details of the impact goals and KPIs are reported in the 2025 Impact Report , which serves as the core benchmark for monitoring environmental performance from 2026 onwards.2026 will be the year of consolidation of the Net Zero Program . In particular, the Group is committed to:
• obtaining ISO 140641 certification for the corporate Carbon Footprint of Cellularline S.p.A., based on the 2025 emission
data;
• defining and formalising the first corporate Decarbonisation Plan , identifying the main levers for reducing emissions and the priorities for action in the medium-to-long term.
Starting from subsequent financial years, the emissions measurement and management process will be progressively extended to Group level , with the aim of strengthening the quality and comparability of data along the entire value chain.
The Group will continue to promote initiatives aimed at energy efficiency , the use of renewable sources and the reduction of impacts related to mobility, in continuity with the projects already
underway on:
• self-generation of energy from renewable sources;
• efficient management of digital infrastructures and systems;
• sustainable mobility, through the updating of the HomeWork Travel Plan, the strengthening of carpooling, the use of public transport and the adoption of travel and fleet policies aimed at reducing emissions.Net Zero Program and decarbonisation

(This independent auditors’ report has been translated into English solely for the convenience of international readers. Accordingly, only the original Italian version is authoritative.) Independent auditors ’ report on the ESG report To the board of directors of Cellularline S.p.A.
We have been engaged to perform a limited assurance engagement on the 2025 ESG report (the “ ESG report ”) of the Cellularline Group (the “ group” ).
Directors ’ responsibilities for the ESG report The directors of Cellularline S.p.A. (the “ parent ”) are responsible for the preparation of an ESG report in accordance with the “ Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards ” issued by GRI -
Global Reporting Initiative (the “ GRI Standards ”).
The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of an ESG report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
They are also responsible for defining the group’ s objectives regarding its sustainability performance and the identification of the stakeholders and the significant aspects to report.
Auditors ’ independence and quality management We are independent in compliance with the independence and all other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board f or Accountants (the IESBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Our company applies International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM Italia 1) and, accordingly, is required to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements , professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Cellularline Group
Independent auditors ’ report 31 December 2025 Auditors ’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion, based on the procedures performed, about the compliance of the ESG report with the requirements of the GRI Standards. We carried out our work in accordance with the criteria established by “ International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (revised) -
Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” (“ISAE 3000 revised” ), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) applicable to limited as surance engagements. This standard requires that we plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the ESG report is free from material misstatement.
A limited assurance engagement is less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement carried out in accordance with ISAE 3000 revised, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters and event s that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement.
The procedures we performed on the ESG report are based on our professional judgement and include inquiries, primarily of the parent ’s personnel responsible for the preparation of the information presented in the ESG report, documental analyses, recalculations and other evidence gathering procedures, as appropriate.
Specifically, we performed the following procedures:
1 analysing the reporting of material aspects process, specifically how the reference environment is analysed and understood, how the actual and potential impacts are identified, assessed and prioritised and how the process outcome is validated internally;
2 comparing the financial disclosures presented in the “ Governance” section of the ESG report with those included in the group’ s consolidated financial statements;
3 understanding the processes underlying the generation, recording and management of the significant qualitative and quantitative information disclosed in the ESG report.
Specifically, we held interviews and discussions with the parent ’s management personnel. We also performed limited procedures on documentation to gather information on the processes and procedures used to gather, combine, process and transmit non- financial data and information to the office that prepares the ESG report.
Furthermore, with respect to significant information, considering the group’ s business and characteristics, at parent and the subsidiaries Cellular Spain S.L.U, Systema S.r.l., Worldconnect AG and Peter Jäckel
GmbH level:
a) we held interviews and obtained supporting documentation to check the qualitative information for consistency with available evidence;
b) we carried out analytical and limited procedures to check, on a sample basis, the correct aggregation of data in the quantitative information.
