At Doncasters, sustainability continues to play an important role in how we operate as a business. It helps us manage risk, strengthen operational performance and ensure that our global manufacturing operations remain resilient and competitive in a changing environment.

Over the past year we have continued to embed sustainability more deeply across the organisation. Our teams have focused on improving operational efficiency while maintaining strong production performance. Despite a global increase in output, we delivered a 4.1% improvement in energy efficiency, demonstrating the value of the efficiency programmes being implemented across our sites.

We have also continued to strengthen our transition towards lower-carbon energy. Our UK operations remain supplied by 100% renewable electricity, and progress is being made across our wider footprint, including 61% renewable electricity in Germany. The completion of the Deritend solar photovoltaic installation represents an important example of how we are combining operational efficiency with renewable energy investment.

Progress has also been made in improving how we manage resources across our operations. During the year we increased our non-hazardous recycling rate to 75%, up from 58% in the previous year, reflecting the continued focus our teams are placing on responsible resource use.

Alongside these environmental improvements, we remain committed to strengthening our workplace culture. Programmes such as STEP continue to expand across our sites, supporting collaboration, learning and engagement across the organisation. In 2025, 91% of employees participated in our engagement survey, highlighting the strong level of involvement across the organisation. We also continued to make progress in improving representation and fairness across our workforce, with the UK median gender pay gap reducing to 7.15%, down from 13.8% in the previous year.

Since the previous reporting period, we have also begun rolling out our Group-wide Decarbonisation and Resource Efficiency Strategy, bringing together our work on emissions reduction, energy performance and resource optimisation under a single framework. This strategy will guide our environmental efforts as we continue working towards our commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions year-on-year while strengthening our understanding of emissions across our value chain.

This report also includes our climate-related financial disclosures aligned with recognised best practice, providing further transparency on how we identify
and manage climate-related risks and opportunities. Alongside this, we continue to strengthen our governance framework, including the expansion of our internal audit scope to further embed sustainability-related risks and controls within our core business processes.

The progress we are making would not be possible without the commitment of our employees across the organisation. Their dedication continues to strengthen our culture of responsibility, collaboration and continuous improvement.

While we are encouraged by the progress made, we recognise that our journey continues. In the coming years we will focus on further improving the quality and transparency of our sustainability data, deepening our understanding of our supply chain emissions and continuing to embed sustainability into the way we operate across all our sites.

Thank you for your continued interest in Doncasters and in the progress we are making. This report reflects the work underway across our organisation and the direction we are continuing to pursue.
