 ii) A 50% reduction in brine extraction from the Salar de Atacama by 2030, starting with 20% by compared to the environmental permit. iii) Ensure that all our products are carbon neutral by 2040 and in the case of lithium and potassium chloride, this goal is for 2030. iv) Stimulate more and better instances for dialog with the communities near the operations. By the end of 2024, freshwater use has already decreased by 55%, surpassing the original 2030 goal. The updated plans aim to reduce brine by 50% by 2028, and we are aligning and updating our initial climate change targets to adhere to science-based objectives with special emphasis on scope 1 and 2 emissions. Throughout 2025, we have made progress on these targets, beginning with quarterly monitoring of sustainability indicators. This approach has enabled us to identify and implement initiatives that support achieving these goals. SQM Iodine and Plant Nutrition SQM Iodine and Plant Nutrition’s sustainability goals are focused on six key strategic areas: i) Water: our operations currently rely entirely on inland water. We plan to incorporate non-continental water sources to cut this dependency by 40% by 2035. ii) Safety: achieving operational performance without serious accidents or fatalities. iii) Decarbonization: aim for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity by 2035 (based on 2023) and continue exploring low-carbon technologies. iv) Local Impact: a. Strengthen our network of local suppliers, with the target of having at least 30% local suppliers by 2030. b. Promote hiring local talent where we operate through programs like Training and Apprenticeships and SQMentors. Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2025 164 c. Foster lasting relationships with communities through open dialogue, trust, and collaboration. v) v) Innovation: Enhance efficiency, circular economy practices, digitization and sustainable agricultural solutions. vi) Integrity: Uphold a culture grounded in ethics, transparency and regulatory compliance In 2024, we set these sustainability targets as our roadmap for the coming years. We are now developing a work plan that will help us make steady progress on each of these goals, with clear management and follow-up mechanisms. 27.2 Detailed information on disbursements related to the environment The cumulative disbursements by the Company and its subsidiaries as
