Decarbonization Strategy
Austin Powder recognizes climate change as a material environmental risk and continues to integrate climate considerations into its operational and strategic decision-making. In 2025, the Company advanced the development of its Decarbonization Strategy, focusing on improving emissions data quality, identifying the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and defining the operational levers with the greatest potential to reduce its carbon footprint.
During the year, Austin Powder progressed toward defining a 15% short-term emissions reduction ambition by 2035 and preparing a decarbonization plan to guide future actions across operations, technology deployment, and capital allocation. This work represents a critical step toward building a realistic and datadriven pathway to emissions reduction, while recognizing the operational constraints inherent to energy-intensive industrial processes.
In parallel, the Company conducted a structured analysis to identify potential long-term decarbonization levers across its value chain. This analysis focused on understanding the relative contribution and feasibility of different technological and operational options, rather than on establishing a fixed long-term emissions reduction target.
