.98 % in August 2024. In July 2024, both Coya Sur and the Port of Tocopilla achieved 100% compliance with the Clean Production Agreement (APL) Seal.
In terms of certifications and management systems, in March 2024, the Coya Sur site obtained ISO 14001 certification. Subsequently, in October 2024, the Port of Tocopilla successfully passed the Phase 1 external certification audit for ISO 45001:2018, thus advancing to the next stage of the process. In November 2024, both ISO 45001:2018 certification and ISO 14001:2015 recertification for the Port of Tocopilla were successfully completed.
Finally, in January 2025, the external follow-up audit was conducted at Coya Sur, Mine & Leach, and the Iodine Plant obtained ISO 50001:2018 certification, becoming the first iodine plant in the world to achieve this recognition.
During 2024, we continued to make progress in the SQM Lithium Chile Division's strategy of certifications and evaluations, which is why we carried out follow-up audits for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001 certifications at the Salar de Atacama. At our Chemical Lithium Plant, we obtained certification in Chilean standard 3262 - Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Management System, which represents a progress and complements other evaluations and sustainability standards of the Company.
In line with our sustainability objectives, during 2024, we continued working on the integration of IRMA in our processes by advancing in some cross-cutting requirements in the Lithium Chemical Plant and during 2025 we have planned the follow-up audit in Salar de Atacama with the objective of verifying the level of achievement of IRMA 75.
As a result of our participation in the DJSI assessment during 2024, we began to assess ourselves voluntarily as the Lithium Chile Division in the mining category, achieving a score of 58 points. This score gives us a consistent view of the

We also completed the CDP water and climate assessment, in which we obtained a B and B- grade, respectively, and which is aligned with our sustainability plan. In addition, our decarbonization targets were validated by Science Based Targets after a robust review process. In addition, the Lithium Chile Division
