itions 2030, articulating our roadmap to responsible/sustainable business. Our annual ESG publications provide a report of our performance on our ESG Ambitions and are mapped to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In 2025, at the mid-point of our journey towards our ESG Vision 2030, we had an opportunity to refresh our ESG ambitions to address the changing priorities of our stakeholders, and reinforce our commitment to responsible business. Our ESG performance and leadership is monitored internally as well as by external agencies including global ESG assessments. If we are unable to meet our goals or if we are not assessed favorably on ESG measures by external agencies, our reputation, access to capital and longer-term financial stability may be adversely impacted including our brand reputation which could impact the share price.

 

Conversely, a number of regulators, lawmakers and stakeholders have increasingly expressed or pursued contrary views, legislation and investment expectations with respect to ESG ambitions and measures, including proposing or enacting “anti-ESG” legislation, regulation or policies, which may expose us to additional legal, financial or reputational risks based upon our ESG Ambitions and disclosures.

Negative media coverage and public scrutiny may divert the time and attention of our board and management and adversely affect our reputation and the prices of our equity shares and ADSs.

There is media coverage and public scrutiny of our business practices, policies and actions including negative, and in some cases, inaccurate posts or comments. Any future negative media coverage in relation to our business, our Board or senior management, regardless of the factual basis for the assertions being made, may adversely impact our reputation. In addition, responding to allegations made in the media can significantly divert the time and attention of our Board and senior management away from our business and disrupt our operations. We may not be able to respond publicly to certain comments in the media due to the obligations, we have with our employees, clients and other stakeholders. Any unfavorable publicity may also adversely impact investor confidence and directly or indirectly cause the price of our equity shares and ADSs to decline.

If any of our employees, as independent individuals, engage in any acts that are perceived to be against the interests of the communities we operate in or that violate local regulations, and if such acts become the subject of mainstream and social media attention or regulatory scrutiny, our reputation may be negatively impacted.
Regulatory requirements that obligate our management to respond to rumors within a specified time may put strain on board and management bandwidth, digress their attention from business-critical strategic work
