Our Commitments and Aspirations.
Dear,
we present "Develia Group's Sustainable Development Strategy 2025- 2030", which reflects our vision and clarifies our strategic focus on developing responsible business activities in environmental, social and corporate dimensions. This is our response to the business goal of implementing ESG activities, including reporting and operationalization of the emission reduction plan and model solutions in ho- using. Implementation of the strategy will enable us to more effectively create long-term value for customers, shareholders
and local communities. The role of the business community in shaping the world around us involves a great deal of responsibility, and with the development industry, issu-
es of living space design take on special importance. According to our mission, we create places where we want to live. We are committed to ensuring
that they address the needs of both the present and future generations. That is why we are im-
plementing modern and functional residential deve- lopments, which, due to their harmonious integration
into the surrounding urban fabric, the use of modern technology, high quality materials and solutions that minimize the environmental footprint, support the comfort of residents. We aim to become a leader in the housing market
in Poland, not only in terms of sales, but also in terms of building trust through a responsible approach to the local community and the environment, while maintaining the highest standards of business ethics. We place in your hands a document that specifies
our priorities in the area of sustainable development over the next few years. It is our commitment to actively engage in the creation of a more
sustainable future.

Why is ESG
Important to Us?
As a representative of an industry responsible for 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions, we recognize the key role of the real estate sector in creating a sustainable urban space and reducing the environmental footprint. We feel obliged to take proactive measures in this regard, so in implementing our housing projects,
we want to focus on increasing the scale of implemented green and low-carbon solutions.
The construction industry has a direct impact on communities. That's why we want to build places to live that will create favorable conditions for the formation of local communities and fit responsibly into the urban fabric.
Construction companies, due to their extensive supply chains and the nature of the tasks they perform, are required to adhere to ethical standards and to form appropriate working conditions.
We are subject to increasing regulatory pressure and the expectations of our stakeholders, and must consider the mutual impact of our operations and the changing environment and climate.

Pillars of the
Sustainable
Development
Strategy.
Our mission is to create places where we want to live. We meet housing needs by providing modern and sustainable spaces that take into account environmental aspects and the needs of local communities.
The sustainability strategy is based on three pillars that comprehensively reflect the challenges and opportunities facing our organization. These areas, along with key goals, constitute Develia Group's action plan for 2025-2030.

Planet
In the area environmental pro- tection, we aim to minimize our impact on the planet by designing energy-efficient buildings, using environmentally friendly materials, and implementing techniques that reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. We plan to invest in renewable energy sources and manage rainfall more effectively. All this while preserving biodiversity and incorporating solutions that adapt our buildings to climate change.
People
In the social field, we focus on creating safe and friendly places to live. We promote equality and diversity in the workplace and maximize employee job satisfaction.
Management
In terms of governance, we focus on transparency, ethical management and accountability for decisions. We adhere to ethical standards and regularly monitor and report on our ESG-related activities, building trust among investors, customers and local communities.

Strategic Areas.
PLANET. | PEOPLE. | MANAGEMENT. |
Decarbonization is an important process in the fight against climate change and to provide future generations with a safe place to live. That's why reducing Develia's carbon footprint is one of our priorities.
Energy Economy projects not only contribute to minimalizing the company's carbon footprint, but allow our customers to live more economically and reduce their individual negative impact on the environment.
Climate Adaptation is very important in the construction in- dustry. We strive to design projects in such a way that they respond to social and climate challenges.
Biodiversity at Develia is not only about bringing more and more greenery into the development, but also about taking care of old-growth forest stands and creating space that is more resilient to prolonged droughts, benefiting not only people, but also animals and insects.
Circular Economy is a significant and indispensable element in the development industry. In our activities, from design, implementation and management of projects, we pay attention to minimizing waste and using recycled materials.
Employee Welfare is very important at Develia. The company has ambitious development plans for the coming years, and we are keen to ensure that the company's growth is positively correlated with increased employee satisfaction.
Respect for Human Rights and security. At Develia, we insist that all housing projects are developed without human rights violations, involvement of forced labor, and that conditions on construction sites comply with the highest safety standards.
Equality and Diversity. As a developer, we make sure that our developments and the communities in which they are located do not pose barriers to people with disabilities, and provide opportunities for a variety of services in such a way that people can live more easily. At our company, we treat all employees equally and develop ourselves through the exchange of experience.
Helping Those in Need has always been part of the company's busi- ness. The company undertakes philanthropic activities in various areas and will strive to increase the desirability of its charitable initiatives over the coming years.
Ethics. The construction industry is sometimes subject to corruption and unethical bidding practices. Proper governance and an emphasis on transparency of our company's processes mitigates these risks and builds trust among stakeholders.
Due Diligence is a determinant of conducting sustainability activities at the company. We incorporate this principle into current policies and management systems to prevent abuse and, when it does occur, to have a fully developed remediation plan.
Partners. At Develia, all stakeholders build the company's value. That's why the selection of business partners that help realize our sustainability goals is very important.
Profitability. Profit is a tool for achieving goals, including those in the area of sustainable development. Without adequate pro- fit, the company will not be able to contribute to the change and transformation of the economy to a low-carbon one.
