SUSTAINABLE THINKING TRUST IN GREEN SUSTAINABILITY Everything starts from nothing, and we have always believed that where there is a will, there is a way! In the same way, we are thinking about the future challenge our planet faces since new generations are becoming more of a part of the Agros Management Group. We know the importance of thinking of business in a sustainable way which favors social and environmental responsibility. We have taken the first steps towards a sustainable future and have implemented our slogan, «Sustainable Thinking.» This slogan is just the start of the process in our global organization to engage employees, clients and all around us to become greener and more socially responsible. Actually, internally in our management group, we call it «Agros Group Green Mission,» and is a vital part of our long-term synergy strategy. The planet is our home, and we all need to protect its natural resources. As a global player, it›s our responsibility in Agros Group to act and not only talk. Sustainability is often broken into three core concepts or «pillars»: economic, environmental, and social. For us, in Agros Group, it is something we are always thinking about. Thinking Green will be a very important part of all our planning, strategies and investments.
SUSTAINABLE THINKING GREEN INVESTMENT STRATEGY We are in process of making a Green Investment strategy to support business practices that have a favorable impact on the natural environment. The projects must be with socially responsible investing (SRI) or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Our green investments focus will be on companies or projects committed to the conservation of natural resources, pollution reduction, or other environmentally conscious business practices. PROTECT THE PLANET We will strive to reduce or eliminate adverse impacts that may be associated with our manufacturing, distribution, logistics, products and services; and we will collaborate with our supply chain partners and customers to do the same. We will advance key global frameworks as we do our part to combat global climate change, aligning our efforts with a science-based target, and we will support communities with projects that uphold the human right to water and sanitation.

56 · Company Profile 2022 - 2023 · SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABLE – THINKING GREEN At Agros Group, we take responsibility and are passionate about making a difference - for our customers, for each other and for society. WE MUST GIVE HIGH PRIORITY TO RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE, AND AT ALL TIMES CHOOSE SOLUTIONS AND BEHAVIORS THAT HAVE THE LEAST POSSIBLE IMPACT ON OUR SURROUNDINGS. WE SEE IT AS A NATURAL PART AS A GLOBAL PLAYER TO HELP SOLVE SOME OF THE GREAT CHALLENGES FACING THE WORLD. Our vision for the work with social responsibility is that Agros Group must strive to be a socially responsible company that makes a difference for people and the environment. We are committed to actively using our role as a knowledge company to influence the mindset of ourselves and our surroundings and thus contribute to a more sustainable future for our employees, partners, customers and the local community.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Ecological integrity is maintained, and all of earth›s environmental systems are kept in balance while humans consume natural resources within them at a rate where they can replenish themselves. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY Human communities across the globe can maintain their independence and have access to the resources they require, financial and other, to meet their needs. Economic systems are intact, and activities are available to everyone, such as secure sources of livelihood. SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY Universal human rights and necessities are attainable by all people with access to enough resources to keep their families and communities healthy and secure. Healthy communities with just leaders ensure personal, labour and cultural rights are respected, and all people are protected from discrimination. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources. SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT JUST ENVIRONMENTALISM Embedded in most definitions of sustainability, we also find social equity and economic development concerns. Sustainability is the process of living within the limits of available physical, natural and social resources in a way that allows the living systems in which humans are embedded to thrive in perpetuity. Adopting sustainable practices, whether large or small, can have significant impacts in the long run. Our Thinking Green strategy director is Mr. Lang from Denmark. Growing up in a small country (5.5 million people) at the forefront of environment-friendly solutions and business has influenced his compassion to change the world for the better. We need to accept his experience and out-of-the-box thinking. With that, we are proud to put Mr. Lang from Denmark in command of Agros Group›s mission to integrate and implement Green-Synergy, since he has a complete understanding and knowledge of how things can be. Please, have a look at the following videos to better understand the mindset he has, and the way he thinks «No Limitations.»

In recent years, Agros Group has seen an increased level of interest in the Asia Region, which is why we established our Agros Asia headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2021, to provide a face-to-face service to our clients and partners based in the region. I am incredibly proud and excited about our ongoing global journey, and I believe that by creating such a unique service with creative solutions, we will continue to attract new business opportunities for years to come.

EXECUTIVES · Company Profile 2022 - 2023 · 61 AGROS IS A PART OF MY DNA It is a special honor and feeling for me to be part of this great business. Agros Group is a significant part of my life, and being a part of this global team has tremendously influenced my life. As a pioneering businesswoman and mother, I have taken all the challenges with a positive and strong mindset since it first started as a small family business over 30 years ago, and why Agros Group is a part of my DNA today. I have always believed that together we can make the impossible possible, and that is one of the key things I have spread throughout the company.

It is now in a position where we have accepted that a stronger global platform, identity and structure are the next transmissions in our long-term plans to continue our success. We started our next step in global transmission just recently in 2022 and are in the process of integrating our whole organization with the vision that it must be implemented globally before 2023 as a part of our 2030 vision and goal strategy. I have high expectations of myself and my global colleagues that we will reach the goals we have set for ourselves by 2030. That way, we can secure our market position for future generations that can lead Agros Group forward innovatively and sustainably.

EXECUTIVES · Company Profile 2022 - 2023 · 63 THERE IS ‘NO EASY WAY’ BUT… With more than 45 years as a leader in international business, supported by the stability of a military background, I have learned that corners cannot be cut, and there are no tricks to success. Hard work and persistence, while learning along the way, have allowed me to envision a clear philosophy that allows synergy across our organization. I always set extreme demands on myself and set the goals high and without limits. With my experience and background, I know that what may immediately seem unmanageable or impossible is only a state or period that can be changed with a can-do mindset. CLEAR & CONCISE VALUES The culture created within Agros Group is defined by simple core values; Trust, Care, Respect, Innovation and Pride. This ethos reflects how we interact with our clients, partners, colleagues and communities. Whether you are a potential client, a new business partner or a future employee, we look forward to working together and elevating synergy in our working relationship. A CLEAR MINDSET We not only want to be bigger, but we also want to be better and strive for the following attributes: • Visionary Thinking • Innovative Solutions • Profit Optimizing • Global Connections • Thinking Green VISION AND GOALS With a military background from early on in life, I have a mindset that no challenges can beat me, and subsequently, with my acquired experience, that nothing is impossible. I set great demands and goals in everything I am involved with, and therefore I have incredibly high expectations for Agros Group›s transmission to become a global player in several industries. One of my personal goals is to add cultural ties there are reflected in our multicultural company - a culture where employees are passionate about our goals and love working together across countries in the organization, and that dare to take ownership of the tasks and have the courage to say their opinion and challenge each other to the next level. NEXT LEVEL As a Dane, sustainability, being environmentally friendly, recycling, and alternative energy are something I grew up with. Knowing the importance of this, in the same way as human rights, free religion, freedom of expression, and diversity is paramount, and I strive for Agros Group›s future goals and visions to point us in a positive direction.
