On page 83 and 84 of the 2024 Annual Report we set out the Group's approach to risk management and on pages 85 to 89 we define the principal risks that are most relevant to the Group. These risks are described in detail and have mitigating actions assigned to each of them. In our view the principal risks remain unchanged from those indicated in the Annual Report 2024. A summary of the risks is laid out in the table below:

| Principal risk                                                    | Summary of risk                                                     |
| Failure to integrate acquisitions and execute disposals from      
 continuing business                                               | The Group has a strategy that includes growth by acquisition, and   
 has acquired 18 businesses in H1 2025. These companies need to be   
 integrated quickly and efficiently to minimise potential impact on  
 the acquired business and the existing business.                    |
| Failure to develop products and services that are tailored and    
 relevant to local markets and market conditions                   | The Group operates across markets that are at different stages in   
 the economic cycle, at varying stages of market development and     
 have different levels of market attractiveness. We must be          
 sufficiently agile to develop and deliver products and services     
 that meet local market needs which allows us to meet our growth     
 objectives and stay ahead in a highly competitive                   
 industry.                                                           |
| Failure to grow our business profitably in a changing             
 macro-economic environment                                        | The Group's two core categories (Pest Control and Hygiene &         
 Wellbeing) operate in a global macro-economic environment that is   
 subject to uncertainty and volatility.                              |
