IBERSOL | Integrated Management Report | 2025

NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT The development of eco-design in consumer product packaging translates primarily into the use of less material mass (by decreasing density and the number of components) and incorporating a greater quantity of recyclable and recycledmaterial in its composition. The burden of this process is fundamentally attributable to the suppliers of packaging and products acquired by the company. For several years, the company has had a preventive and corrective maintenance plan for its facilities and equipment, which ensures the quality of operations and optimizes the lifespan of its assets. The goal for the coming years is to maintain the execution of this plan. Currently, the single-use customer service packaging used by the company is mainly composed of paper and typically has a maximum plastic incorporation of 15%, making it recyclable in the dedicated paper recycling loop. An alternative to be explored to packaging containing plastic is packaging made from natural materials alternative to paper, such as bamboo or hemp, which can be integrated into the bio- waste chain. Regarding reusable customer service utensils, it is worth noting that there are currently brands within the Group (e.g., Catering, Travel, Pans) that already use them in whole or in part (ceramic and glass tableware). There is a prospect of introducing reusable packaging in other brands, in some viable locations, namely street restaurants. Furthermore, national legislation on packaging and packaging waste, originating from European Union legislation, the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), has introduced the obligation, from July 2025, to offer reusable packaging solutions as an alternative for the customer in the delivery and takeaway channel. The aforementioned European regulatory framework also establishes the obligation for customer service packaging containing plastic to have a minimum recycled plastic content of 30% from January 1, 2030, and the company therefore has this objective in mind. 184
