Sustainability has long been part of Kruger’s governance approach, reflected in our ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve environmental performance, strengthen health and safety practices, and integrate responsible business practices across our operations.

In 2026, Kruger further strengthened this approach by updating key governance frameworks to formally include sustainability alongside health, safety, and environmental responsibilities. This evolution reflects the growing role of sustainability in how we assess risks, monitor performance, and guide decision-making across the Company.

Material sustainability topics are increasingly integrated into leadership discussions, board reporting and cross-functional initiatives. By improving visibility, clarifying responsibilities, and aligning practices across the organization, we are reinforcing accountability and supporting more consistent sustainability management.

This governance approach helps ensure that sustainability is not treated solely as a reporting exercise, but as a shared responsibility embedded in how Kruger operates, plans and creates long-term value for its employees, customers, communities and the environment.
