Product Use &ServiceLogistics

Sustainability at WolfVision extends far beyond product development and recycling — it encompasses
the entire company. This includes our buildings, our people, purchasing, production, distribution, andlogistics. It also covers the product itself, from its intended usage to all related processes. At WolfVision,
we don‘t rely on words alone; we try to take meaningful action and fully embrace our responsibility towardboth humanity and the environment.

Our People
In order to reduce automobile usage, we pay for public transport for our employees and provide showers/changing rooms
for those traveling to work by bike. An energy-efficient air
conditioning system with air humidification, and the many
green plants in the work and rest areas ensure an excellent
indoor climate.

Research & Development
Innovation at WolfVision is always ecologically minded. For
example, we use automatically controlled circuits resulting
in minimal power consumption during operation and standby, and we also use electronic components with optimised
energy consumption.

Purchasing
We focus our procurement on the local area, with long delivery intervals and increased batch sizes to minimise anytransport-related environmental impact. Currently, we source 75% of our materials from suppliers in the immediateand nearby vicinity, with only 25% of materials coming fromoverseas.

Manufacturing
Our facility and all production processes are geared towards
minimal energy consumption and high energy efficiency. We
do not use fossil fuels at all. Through continuous energy monitoring, we evaluate our energy balance to identify opportunities for further optimisation.

Logistics
We analyze our supply chains to optimise them, and havebeen reducing transport volume and packaging materials formany years. We utilise reusable packaging, collect packaging
boxes upon delivery, and reuse them.

Product Use & Service
The exceptional durability of our products and the provision ofregular firmware updates guarantee a long product lifecycle.
Additionally, our systems are integral components of web conferencing and online working and learning, contributing to a
reduction of CO2 emissions.

Recycling
Our products do not contain harmful materials such as lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE. Wefulfil our manufacturer responsibility for environmentallyfriendly disposal of our products, and we recycle all materials
such as plastic, glass, aluminum, wood, paper, and chemicals.

What specific contribution does WolfVision make inrelation to sustainable business practices?

An outstanding example
of sustainable businesspractice is WolfVision‘sheadquarters building, which wasdesigned to enable the company
to realise its vision of a sustainable
enterprise. Since completion in July
2008, the company has been operating an impressive range of sustainable business initiatives. This
continues and will be enhanced
further with the current construction of the extension to the company headquarters building.
Building Overview
The exterior of the building is characterised by an intelligent systemof blinds with movable louvres,which allows natural light into thebuilding while also providing sunprotection. The movable louvres
adjust automatically depending on
the time of day, the position of thesun, and the outside temperature(for example the blinds close when
the temperature is <0 °C to retain
building heat).
The perforated sheet metal facadeon the upper part of the building‘sexterior is designed to reduce theamount of external heat entering.
70% of this radiant energy is blocked, significantly reducing theenergy required for air conditioning in the summertime. This heatshield is intelligently designed to
not obstruct the view from the windows when employees are seated
and to minimise the need for artificial lighting. The exterior glass ishighly insulated and triple-glazed.
The entire building was designedwith sustainability and environmental protection in mind, and thedaily operation of the company
supports this ethos. To minimise
land usage - a precious resource,WolfVision built an undergroundcar park. As a result of this, thecompany benefits from a large
green area adjacent to the building.
In fact, 66% of the WolfVision premises is a green space.

WolfVision invests approximately 15% of its annual revenue into research and development. Sustainability is a cornerstone of the development process.

Energy Saving
Energy consumption for the entire
building is controlled by a sophisticated central control system. ThisEIB (European Installation Bus)
system was developed to reduceenergy consumption for heating,cooling, or lighting purposes. The
system is powered by a series of
motion and heat sensors locatedin each room and constantly monitored to achieve optimal performance.
Lighting
Artificial room lighting is only activated when there is insufficientambient light available. This ensures consistent lighting throughout
the day. Motion sensors trigger
lighting when a person enters theroom, but only if the ambient lightfor that room is insufficient. If aroom remains empty, the lighting
automatically turns off after a few
minutes. Overall, the controlled
lighting system reduces electricity
consumption compared to a conventional lighting system by 77%.
Heating SystemThe building‘s heating system utilizes thermal energy from the groundand is entirely independent of fossil
fuels. Below the ground are 130 active borehole heat exchangers thatensure a constant room temperature regardless of the weather.
In Central Europe, the soil temperature at a depth of 10 to 20 meters averages 11 to 12 °C. In thesoil layers above, the temperature
varies depending on prevailingweather conditions. Each square

meter of land is irradiated withapproximately 1100 kW of solar
energy per year. In the lower areasof the soil, geothermal influencespredominate, causing the temperature of the soil mass to increase byapproximately 1 °C per 33 metersof depth. The basic idea is to extract heat energy from the groundthrough the foundations and makeit available to suitable systems thatcan utilise this energy within thebuilding. This principle can also be
used for cooling by releasing excess heat into the ground. Provided
that soil conditions are suitable,
heating and cooling energy can be
stored and reused seasonally. The
only electrical energy required forthis process is for the heat pump.
Therefore, the entire heating &cooling system is very efficient.

For every kW of energy invested inthe system, 5 kW of heating / cooling energy is generated, ensuring
not only low energy costs but also
minimising the building‘s CO2 footprint.
Electricity Generation
In 2016, WolfVision took anotherstep towards sustainability. Approximately 600m² of roof space wasequipped with 360 photovoltaic
panels with a total area of approximately 652.69m². 180 panels eachare oriented towards the east andwest to make the most efficientuse of both morning and afternoonsun.
At peak performance, the systemdelivers 93.6 kWp. Between theend of 2016 and August 2024, atotal of 711 MWh of energy wasgenerated by the 360 photovoltaicpanels. With the energy produced,
over 22 four-person households(average consumption 4,000 kWh/year) could be supplied during thesame period.
Energy Management Systems
Energy-efficient systems are onlyof real value if ongoing management systems are established tomeasure and optimise systems.
WolfVision places great importance on continuously measuring
the performance of its energy management systems and is constantly striving to find ways to optimise
these processes. For example, unwanted heat from the IT serverroom is now used to provide heatto the storage area!
The control of lighting, heating,cooling, and shading systems iscontinuously monitored, and theresults obtained are recorded. A
series of automatic alerts are alsoin place to inform system operators
when manual intervention is required.

Ventilation Systems
WolfVision monitors and records
air quality in its building. Fresh air
is brought into the building throughcontrolled ventilation, filtered ofpollen, and heated / cooled using aheat exchange system so that thewarm or cool exhaust air can be
indirectly reused, making it highly energy-efficient. The air is thenhumidified to 45% humidity before
being distributed to the office areas.
Purchasing Policy
Suppliers are sourced as close as
possible to one location. Currently, 75% of production materials
are sourced from local or nearby
suppliers, with only the remaining
25% coming from further afield.
Where possible, longer delivery
intervals of 3 to 6 months are used.
These larger shipments reduce thenumber of deliveries needed andtherefore help to reduce the environmental impact.

The 360 photovoltaic panels with 93.6 kWp could provide electricity for more than 22 four-person households per year.

Packaging
The vast majority of WolfVision
packaging is reusable and recyclable. Cables and accessories are
no longer packaged in plastic, andstyrofoam inserts are eliminatedfrom the process with each new
product development. As many
components as possible are delivered in reusable packaging. These
are stored in the warehouse andare then returned to the supplier
for reuse.
Employee Facilities
WolfVision supports the wellbeing and health of all employees.
For example, the costs of public
transportation to and from work
are reimbursed by the company,and facilities such as showers andchanging rooms are provided toencourage employees to commute
to work by bicycle or to exercise
during breaks.

Product Design & Usage
When designing and manufacturing
WolfVision systems, we prioritise
environmentally friendly featuresand functionality. Cynap systems,
for example, offer a 3-tier powersaving mode (screensaver, screen
off, and standby settings) with customisable time settings. Additionally, three customisable states forthe standby setting (power saving,standby, or shutdown) can be selected as required to further reduce
power consumption.
WolfVision remote management
software also allows schedules tobe configured that switch on/off all
WolfVision devices plus connected
projectors, screens, etc., at a predetermined time in multiple locations. This is a very popular feature,and is useful for ensuring that devices are not left running overnight.
The introduction of deep standby
modes and LED lighting, together

with advanced firmware optimisation, has reduced power consumption for Desktop and Ceiling Visualizer units by up to 70% compared
to previous models. High-performance, energy-efficient LED lighting, first introduced to the Visualizer product range in 2009, is now astandard feature across all models,
providing consistent, high-quality
illumination while minimising power usage.
Long product lifecycles not only
maximise ROI, but also reduce environmental impact by minimising theneed for frequent replacements,
lowering resource consumption,and decreasing electronic waste,contributing to a more sustainable
future. Regular firmware updates
are designed to extend the usefullife of WolfVision devices, and it is
not uncommon to see 15 year oldmodels in daily use in many of theworld‘s leading universities!

Giving honey bees a home
Helping Planet EarthWe’ve strengthened our commitment to the environment and invited
60,000 amazing honey bees to staywith us at our worldwide headquarters in Klaus, Austria!
Bees are important and they play an essential role in pollinating trees and flowers, helping to maintain the healthy
ecosystems necessary for productionof our food. More than 75% of foodcrops are at least partly dependent on
bees. Unfortunately worldwide bee
numbers are declining mainly due toclimate change and loss of habitat.
At WolfVision we‘re proud to be ‘beefriendly‘, and provide a home for them.
We like to get involved, playing ourpart in helping to promote pollination,and helping to support the maintenance of nature‘s balance.

Artist‘s impression of the extended WolfVision worldwide headquarters building in Klaus, Austria, due for completion in mid 2025.

Extending WolfVision worldwide headquarters, witha focus on sustainabilityWolfVision is always seeking new
ways to enhance its sustainable business practices. As we are currently
undertaking building work to expand
our worldwide headquarters by50%, we are taking this opportunity
to further elevate our already exemplary commitment to sustainability.
The new building will include additional heating capability utilisingthermal energy from the ground,as well as space for the installationof more photovoltaic panels on theroof. Our existing photovoltaic system, which currently generates 93.6
kWp, will be expanded by approximately 146 kWp. By mid 2025, we

will have covered the entire available roof area with photovoltaic panels. A total of 352 new panels will
be installed — 136 on the existingbuilding and 216 on the extension.
Since the end of 2016, our existing
photovoltaic panels have produced 711 MWh of electricity, whichis enough to power an electric vehicle for 1,980,000 kilometers,
resulting in a reduction of around
274,000kg of CO2 emissions.
To minimize soil sealing, which occurs when impermeable materials
like asphalt and concrete prevent
water absorption, we are covering
part of the roof of our building ex-tension with greenery and are using
grass pavers instead of asphalt foroutdoor parking spaces. We are expanding our existing undergroundcar park to maximise the amount ofgreen space remaining around thebuilding. Additionally, a retention
and infiltration basin is being installed to manage rainwater and prevent sewer overflow, further supporting our sustainability efforts.
We see the new building extension
as a valuable opportunity to redouble our efforts in protecting the environment and to advance our sustainability initiatives.
