Organization and activities Alier is a century-old brand born in 1832. Paper manufacturers since 1886, in 1948 we began to contribute to post-consumer recycling processes by manufacturing 100% recycled paper and we like to think that, since then, we have filled many blank pages based on the circular economy. Evolution and respect are perhaps the two words that have guided us throughout this time. The ability to adapt to change, always with deep respect for the environment and sustainability, is also a defining characteristic of our work. PBecause, after all, recycling is evolving.

Governance GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE: In February 2018, with the purchase of the majority of the share capital from part of the Alier family, the Pereira family, of Argentine origin, with a strong industrial profile and extensive experience in the manufacture of plasterboard, became part of the shareholders. They provided the company with new opportunities and a vision of the plasterboard business, which, together with ALIER, SA's papermaking tradition, has consolidated the company as an important player in the plasterboard paper market. The Management Committee holds monthly meetings where results are presented, decisions are made, the company's financial statements are reviewed, and the budget and strategic lines are monitored. The interaction between the different departments of the organization is a very strong point, as it provides: Regular meetings are held between the MA and Regulatory Department and Management to make decisions regarding the Integrated Management System (quality, Environment and energy) and regulations. Given this internal structure, to date there is no specific CSR department reporting directly to management, nor a management representative for this function. However, Alier's commitments in this area are addressed by all departments within the organization. In 2023, a new Sustainability Committee was established, comprised of members of the executive committee and those responsible for the ESG management areas. At the beginning of fiscal year 2024, the quality area was reorganized to help increase product quality and customer satisfaction, becoming the Continuous Improvement and Quality Department. Another important step in sustainability was the opening of the plastics plant in October 2024. Ref.

| ALIER integrates ecodesign and life cycle analysis as key tools to improve the environmental performance of its products, strengthen the traceability of the impacts associated with their life cycle, and offer its customers objective and verifiable environmental information. One of the company's significant milestones was the verification by AENOR, in 2022, of the Environmental Product Declaration —EPD/DAP— for the product Carton-Wall, under the reference GlobalEPD EN15804-028 rev1. This declaration made it possible to know more precisely the environmental impacts of the product throughout its life cycle and to provide customers with environmental information on the impacts associated with the use of a 100 % recycled material. Subsequently, in December 2023, ALIER verified the corresponding Environmental Product Declarations through AENOR. Semi-extendable bags y Bags, with the aim of aligning and quantifying the environmental impact of its products with the company's circular strategy. During 2025, ALIER began the process of reviewing the Environmental Product Declarations corresponding to Carton-Wall y Bags, as well as the development of the first specific EPD for the PolyAl granules. These studies were completed after the close of the 2025 financial year and before the preparation of this report, so their results are already available and can be used as an updated basis to strengthen product environmental information, the traceability of life cycle impacts and communication with customers and other stakeholders. In the case of paper for sacks, its EPD was not reviewed during 2025 as no production of this product was recorded during that year. However, the existing declaration remains valid until 2028. From a product innovation standpoint, ALIER continues the development of paper PBL high performance, A more efficient paper for plasterboard allows customers to reduce their paper consumption by reducing its weight while maintaining the required technical specifications. This product helps reduce raw material consumption, energy consumption, waste generated during roll transfers, transportation and storage needs, paper inventory volume, and waste associated with the final product. Furthermore, the commissioning of the plastics plant in October 2024 and its operational consolidation during 2025 reinforce ALIER's position in the circular economy. This facility allows for the valorization of the polyethylene and aluminum fraction from the recycling of beverage cartons, transforming it into PolyAl granules. In this way, ALIER is moving towards the comprehensive valorization of the brik packaging, recovering both the fiber for the manufacture of recycled paper and the plastic-aluminum fraction for its reincorporation as raw material in new recycled products. During 2025, the company also made progress in integrating circularity as a criterion for monitoring its industrial performance, strengthening the traceability of material flows, the production of PolyAl granules and the availability of information to assess the evolution of its circularity indicators. ALIER also maintains collaborations with universities, technology centers and research entities, such as DBA —Center for Biotechnological and Agrofood Developments—, the University of Alicante and EURECAT, aimed at improving processes, developing new waste valorization solutions and applying technologies that allow reducing environmental impacts in the manufacture of paper and recycled products. |

| Other Circular Economy improvements |
| Ref. VSME (CSRD-EU): B7.001 | ||
| In 2024, ALIER began analyzing its circular economy indicators using Ecomundis' RightSupply.net digital platform and the RightCircular® tool to assess the Material Circularity Index (MCI). This indicator summarizes the degree of recycling, recovery, and valorization of the organization's products and operations throughout their life cycle, differentiating between a local or organizational perspective (MCI) and a global perspective (MCI). The methodological development of the ICM is inspired by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's principles of circularity and incorporates elements of the WBCSD's Circular Transition Indicators, ensuring its interoperability with the ISO 59020 and ISO 59040 series of standards. In this way, ALIER has a monitoring tool that allows for a structured evaluation of the evolution of its circular performance and strengthens year-on-year comparability. ALIER reports an improvement of two points in the ICML and one point in the ICMG, compared to the 2024 result, consolidating the integration of circularity as a criterion for monitoring its industrial performance and its corporate strategy. |

Circular Economy Metrics
Representation of the circularity of matter RightCircular©
He RightSupply Material Circularity Index (MCI) It summarizes the degree of recycling, recovery, and valorization of an organization's products and operations throughout its entire life cycle. Developed by Echomundis, the ICM RightCircular© It facilitates an annual calculation, expressing its magnitude as a percentage of corporate circularity under two different life cycle perspectives (ICM-Local and ICM-Global), in a practical way and aligned with Circular Transition Indicators proposed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the ISO 59020 standard.
-
ICML LOCAL OR ORGANIZATIONAL
INNER CIRCLE. It represents the level of circularity associated with the products or processes directly managed by the organization. It considers waste recovery and the maximum potential for recycling or reuse of the materials involved, incorporating the expected recovery efficiencies according to the nature of the product supplied. -
ICMG GLOBAL
OUTER CIRCLE. It measures the overall circularity of materials throughout the entire product lifecycle, from the origin of raw materials to their final destination after use. This index is the closest to the MCI proposed by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
-
CIRCULARITY SCALE
It represents the different levels of circularity achieved by an activity or organization in its ICM IndexL LOCAL.
🟧 IN CIRCULAR TRANSITION [21–40%] Reuse/recycling has begun, but it's still linear.
🟨 PARTIAL CIRCULARITY [41–60%] Moderate use of recycled materials and durable designs.
🟩 AVERAGE CIRCULARITY [61–80%] Greater reuse, repair and closed cycles.
🟦 HIGH CIRCULARITY [81–90%] Almost closed systems with minimal loss of resources.
🟪 DEMATERIALIZATION [>91%] Dematerialized or highly circular systems.

ALIER also maintains its adherence to the United Nations Global Compact, reinforcing its commitment to aligning its strategy and operations with international principles relating to human rights, labor standards, the environment, and the fight against corruption. This framework complements the Code of Ethics and consolidates a preventive approach to potential human rights violations within its operational sphere and in its relationships with third parties. In its relationships with suppliers, clients, and external collaborators, ALIER acts with transparency and integrity, avoiding any form of complicity with organizations that may violate human rights. The company promotes the principles set forth in its Code of Ethics and demands compliance with applicable regulations regarding environmental, labor, health and safety, and human rights. In the value chain, these commitments are progressively integrated into supplier approval and evaluation procedures. Through these mechanisms, ALIER can incorporate criteria related to regulatory compliance, occupational health and safety, respect for human rights, environmental management, and corporate social responsibility. Likewise, the Supplier Code of Conduct establishes the expected principles in business relationships and helps extend the company's ethical and social commitments to its supply chain.

Sustainable labor practices ALIER develops its labor practices from an approach focused on regulatory compliance, job stability, collective bargaining, the participation of the legal representation of workers and continuous improvement in safety and health, equality, work-life balance and professional development. At the close of fiscal year 2025, the Group has a workforce of 313 people, 299 of whom work for ALIER, SA, the Group's parent company and main operating and industrial center. Almost all employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and labor management is structured through internal policies, human resources procedures, and mechanisms for participation and consultation with the legal representatives of the workers. In the area of occupational health and safety, ALIER has an internal Occupational Risk Prevention Department, staffed by four people, with support from an external prevention service. This structure allows for specialized preventative management, integrated into industrial operations and aligned with the corporate strategy. During 2025, the preventative system was strengthened through the updating of the Self-Protection Plan, the execution of an emergency drill, the implementation of FACT24 as an emergency management and communication tool, and the consolidation of NEXT PRL as a comprehensive preventative management platform. This tool provides employees with access to job information, online training, PPE and workwear management, health monitoring, and risk communication. The company also maintains a schedule of medical check-ups so that all workers can access health monitoring with the established frequency according to their job position, which is annual for factory positions. In the area of training, ALIER develops an annual training plan tailored to the needs of each department and the company's operational, technical, and organizational challenges. In 2025, 8,309 hours of training were delivered, compared to 8,194 hours in 2024, reinforcing topics related to prevention, technical skills, digitalization, leadership, team management, and transferable skills. This training effort contributes to improving the versatility, safety, operational efficiency, and professional development of the workforce. During 2025, ALIER also reinforced its commitment to equality and diversity by signing its second Equality Plan, valid until 2028. This plan incorporates objectives and actions in areas such as communication, participation, leadership, recruitment, promotion, equal pay, leave, prevention of violence and harassment, health and safety, supply chain, social responsibility, and LGBTQ+ diversity. Furthermore, during the year, training on unconscious bias, previously provided to managers, was extended to all employees. The company promotes work-life balance through measures such as flexible hours, teleworking where the position allows, leave stipulated in the collective bargaining agreement, reduced working hours, and other work organization measures. In addition, it offers benefits and flexible compensation programs focused on well-being and work-life balance. In addition to its labor policies, ALIER has its own social club, Club Alier, which encourages employee participation in social, recreational, cultural, and sporting activities, as well as initiatives promoting healthy habits. Highlights of 2025 include activities such as discounts on gym memberships, padel tournaments, cultural events like Sant Jordi Sostenible and La Castanyada, and ALIER's membership in the Spanish Association Against Cancer as an Oncoadherent Company, which includes awareness campaigns for employees. |

It is worth mentioning that there are outstanding environmental projects such as:
ALIER, SA has an Environmental Management System certified according to the UNE-EN ISO 14001:2015 standard and aligned with the EMAS scheme, through which it integrates the identification and evaluation of environmental aspects, legal compliance, impact prevention and continuous improvement of environmental performance. The company's main environmental objectives are geared towards optimizing the rational and efficient use of the natural resources needed to develop its activity, reducing the environmental impacts of direct activities, minimizing the environmental impact associated with the life cycle of products and incorporating the best available pollution prevention techniques that are technically and economically viable. ALIER's environmental commitment is realized daily through industrial activity based on waste valorization and the manufacture of products from recovered raw materials. The company does not use virgin fiber in the manufacture of its paper products, thus ensuring the circularity of the paper value chain and contributing to reducing pressure on forest resources. This approach is reinforced by FSC 100 % Recycled and PEFC 100 % certified chain of custody certifications. During 2025, ALIER made progress in consolidating its circular economy model through the plastics recycling plant commissioned in October 2024. This facility allows for the recovery of the polyethylene and aluminum fraction from recycled beverage cartons, transforming it into PolyAl granules. In this way, ALIER strengthens the comprehensive recovery of beverage cartons, recovering both the fiber for recycled paper and the plastic-aluminum fraction for reincorporation as raw materials in new recycled products. In terms of circularity, the company has continued working on the traceability of material flows, the production of PolyAl granules, and the availability of information to evaluate its circularity indicators. Within this framework, ALIER reports a two-point improvement in the Local Material Circularity Index (LMCI) and a one-point improvement in the Global Material Circularity Index (GMCI), consolidating circularity as a criterion for monitoring industrial performance. Regarding waste, ALIER recovered more than 81.% of the waste generated in 2025, compared to 71.% recorded in 2024. This improvement is part of the company's circular economy strategy and the progressive consolidation of solutions for the treatment, recovery, and reintegration of materials into the production cycle. In the area of water, ALIER maintains projects focused on recycling and reusing process water, as well as reducing freshwater intake at the source and improving discharge control. Water management is a priority environmental aspect due to its relationship with production activity, resource efficiency, and the protection of aquatic ecosystems. In the energy and climate sector, ENGIE's biomass plant will be fully operational by 2025, supplying biomass-derived steam to ALIER and reducing its reliance on fossil fuels for thermal power generation. The company is also maintaining its rooftop photovoltaic production, which began in 2023, and continuing to increase its use of renewable energy sources, including electricity with guarantees of origin. ALIER's decarbonization actions are structured around the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, through the 35.9 MW biomass plant, 11.7 MW rooftop photovoltaic installations, 3.195 MW ground-mounted photovoltaic installation, optimization of facilities and equipment, and acquisition of electricity from renewable sources with Guarantees of Origin. During 2025, ALIER also secured public funding for strategic industrial decarbonization projects. These include the ALIER2ZERO project, focused on decarbonizing the industrial plant, and the GYPZERO project, aimed at implementing a new, highly decarbonized gypsum board production and recycling facility. Both projects reinforce the company's trajectory toward a more efficient, circular, and low-carbon industrial model. The progressive integration of the GYPZERO plant into the scope of the Integrated Management System is planned to begin in July 2026, including the implementation of procedures, the assessment of legal requirements, and its future incorporation into the audited and certified system. In terms of product information, ALIER has made progress in updating and expanding its verified environmental data by revising the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Carton-Wall and Bags, as well as developing the first EPD specifically for PolyAl granules. These declarations improve the traceability of environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle and provide customers with objective information on the environmental performance of their products. The environmental objectives can be found in the verified Environmental Statement: https://www.valuechain.rightsupply.net/emas_statement/alier/#emas_objetivos |

The company communicates the principles outlined in its Code of Ethics to suppliers, customers, and external partners and requires compliance with applicable regulations regarding the environment, occupational health and safety, and respect for human rights. ALIER has a supplier approval and evaluation procedure, revised in 2023, that incorporates ESG criteria in both the approval phase and ongoing assessment. Since the implementation of ISO 14001, suppliers have been informed of the applicable environmental requirements, and since 2023, approved suppliers have been required to adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct. The approval process considers aspects such as waste management, environmental management, and corporate social responsibility; and the ongoing assessment incorporates criteria such as transparency, environmental impact assessments of products, CSR policies, and sustainability certifications. |

In 2023, ALIER incorporated an initial materiality analysis specific to its main company in anticipation of its expansion in light of future European Union guidelines for sustainability reporting. This involved analyzing the materiality of the impact and, in a first phase, the general impact on its stakeholders, anticipating more significant stakeholder participation in the coming year. In 2024, ALIER will integrate the analysis of materiality and relevant aspects related to CSR and sustainability into its management system.Likewise, this analysis will take into account the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations.
Currently, the sector has identified several key aspects as relevant, which are already taken into account in ALIER's procedures and the attention it gives to its stakeholders.
