5 Sustainability Report 2024 Fostering Action on Climate Change Fostering Responsible Supply Chain Fostering An Inclusive Workplace GRI Content Index Reporting Period We are pleased to present the second edition of our sustainability report for the Calendar Year (CY) 2024, continuing the journey we began in 2023 under the theme ‘Fostering Sustainable Ecosystems’. This report covers our sustainability performance from 1st January to 31st December 2024. Building on last year’s theme, this edition highlights how we have deepened and broadened our sustainability efforts across our operations. We remain committed to generating positive impact across our business, with our stakeholders, and within the ecosystems in which we operate. Scope and Boundary This report covers our business operations across our Special Economic Zones (SEZs), including Glo-Digbe Industrial Zones (GDIZ) Benin, Plateforme Industrielle D’adétikope (PIA) Togo, Gabon Special Economic Zone (GSEZ) Gabon, Bugesera Special Economic Zone (BSEZ), Rwanda, and our corporate offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and office in India. The boundary covers operations which are fully owned by Arise IIP, along with the businesses which we run in partnerships or joint ventures where we have operational controls. The report also carries information from our textile business introduced at GDIZ, made operational during the reporting period. Our previous report covered our operations in Chad; however, due to operational restructuring, we have not considered Chad’s performance in our reporting boundary for this year. Lastly, while BSEZ is considered in most of the performance indicators, data on emissions and energy will be reported from next year.
