1.2. Sustainability within Montea

Our strategy and sustainability pillars

Sustainability is in our DNA. We are leading the way in making the logistics sector more sustainable. With a land bank of more than 2 million square metres, over 80% of which is grey and brownfield land, we focus on redeveloping existing industrial sites. In recent years, we have invested around €15 million in the remediation of polluted industrial sites, transforming them into energy-efficient and sustainable logistics hubs. In all our developments, we focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency and making smart use of existing space. Not to make a quick profit, but to create long-term value - for this generation and generations to come. That value lies in sustainable and innovative logistics real estate at strategic locations, with multimodal accessibility and a multifunctional character.

To increase our impact, we have further strengthened our internal sustainability governance. The ESG Steering Committee, led by our Chief Sustainability Officer, works closely with the Board of Directors. The committee integrates sustainability into our business strategy and investment decisions, and takes the lead on setting our sustainability goals for the future. The committee's recommendations are implemented throughout the organization by dedicated ESG teams in each country. This ensures that we not only meet current standards, but also continue to innovate for the future. It also allows us to build a logistics sector that is not only economically profitable, but also socially responsible.

In 2024, we conducted a dual materiality analysis in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), from which three key areas of attention for Montea could be derived: greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency, land use and raw material use. On this basis, five pillars were identified for our sustainability strategy:

  • 1. Climate change and energy: towards net zero

  • 2. Contributing to climate resilience and biodiversity

  • 3. Developing circular and multifunctional buildings

  • 4. Supporting sustainable logistics

  • 5. Excelling in sustainability

For more details on these pillars and how this will be rolled out, read ourannualreport2024 | Montea.

Our sustainability goals for 2030 and 2050

Our sustainability goals are aligned with the European Green Deal(The European Green Deal - EuropeanCommission)and include three components: our own operations, our existing portfolio and our new construction projects. Each pillar requires a specific approach and impact analysis. For new constructions, we use 2021 as a reference year, while 2019 is the base year for our existing portfolio and operations.

Our total carbon footprint is broken down into Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Scope 1 and 2 are relatively easy to measure, but only account for a small portion of our total carbon emissions. The majority of our carbon emissions are in scope 3. Several years ago, we had our Scope 1 and 2 targets validated by SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative -Ambitious corporate climate action - Science Based Targets Initiative). In 2024, the new SBTi framework for the

2

Allocation and impact report 25 April 2025

real estate sector will be set. In 2025, we will set our own targets with SBTi, including more specific targets for Scope 3 emissions.

In addition, in September 2024, we launched Track27, the most ambitious growth plan in our history. It includes not only financial targets, but also a series of ambitious sustainability goals.

Montea received wide recognition for its sustainability efforts during the past years. Montea is included in the BEL® ESG Index, alongside 19 other listed companies showing the lowest environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk score in Belgium. Euronext uses the Sustainalytics score as a benchmark which is set at 11.2 for Montea.

For EPRA sBPR and GRESB we were also able to reaffirm our credentials, respectively with a sBPR Gold Award and a GRESB score of 79% for existing portfolio and 88% for new developments.

1.3. Montea's Green Finance Framework

To strengthen its sustainability ambitions, Montea has set up aGreen Finance Framework on 16 February 2021 (Green Finance Framework). With this framework, Montea intends to issue green financing instruments (e.g. bonds, loans, etc.) to (re)finance sustainable projects that clearly take account of the impact on the environment and society. The Green Finance Framework operates fully in accordance with the ICMA (International Capital Markets Association) Green Bond Principles and the LMA Green Loan Principles.

1.4. Eligibility criteria and process for project evaluation and selection

In line with the Green Finance Framework, Montea allocates the incremental net proceeds of any green finance instruments to a portfolio of eligible green projects (the Eligible Green Projects) in the categories "Green Building" and "Renewable Energy". More details on the eligibility criteria to fall under one of said categories are set out in the

Green Finance Framework (see section 'Use of Proceeds').

Eligible Green Projects are evaluated and selected based on compliance with the eligibility criteria. Investments, expenditures and/or projects are proposed by internal departments and the ESG Steering Committee. A separate Sustainable Executive Committee (consisting of the Chief Sustainability Officer and a representative of the finance department) evaluates compliance of a given project with the eligibility criteria and internal policies and selects and validates the pool of Eligible Green Projects.

1.5. Scope of this allocation and impact report

According to the Green Finance Framework, Montea must report on the progress and, where possible, on the impact of the "Eligible Green Project Portfolio" (as defined in the Green Finance Framework).

With respect to the allocation of proceeds of green finance instruments, the Green Finance Framework provides that such reporting needs to occur after a year from the issuance of the applicable Green Finance Instrument, and then annually until full allocation. With respect to the environmental impact of the Eligible Green Project Portfolio, Montea needs to report on an annual basis.

To date, Montea issued green bonds for a total amount of EUR 615 million. The net proceeds of these green bonds have been fully allocated in 2021 and 2022. More information on these allocations can be found here:

  • • EUR 235 million green bonds issued through a US private placement in 2021 (US PP 2021), seeAllocationand impact report 26 April 2022;

  • • EUR 380 million green bonds issued through US private placement in 2022 (US PP 2022), seeAllocation andimpact report 26 April 2023.

Given that no new green finance instruments have been issued under the Green Finance Framework since the publication of the allocation and impact report of 26 April 2024, no additional allocation reporting is required. Hence, this report dated 25 April 2025 (the Report) only covers the impact reporting in relation to the entire Eligible Green Project Portfolio, consisting of Eligible Green Projects to which the proceeds from both the US PP 2021 US PP 2022 have been allocated.

To the extent feasible, Montea aligned the Report with the portfolio approach described in "Handbook - Harmonize

Framework for Impact Reporting (April 2020)", as amended from time to time.

The environmental impact assessment as mentioned in this Report has been validated by way of a "limited assurance"-audit by EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV (see section4of this Report).

Montea Green Finance

Allocation and impact report 25 April 2025

Given that the last impact report was issued on 26 April 2024, this Report has been drawn up in timely manner (i.e. reporting once a year on the environmental impact of the entire Eligible Green Project Portfolio).

On the date of this Report, no other financing instruments have been issued or entered into by Montea under the Green Finance Framework, other than the US PP 2021 and the US PP 2022.

1.6. Value of the eligible assets

The values considered are the fair market values (for both buildings and solar panels) on December 31, 2024, as reported in the financial statements, based on valuations done by Jones Lang LaSalle and Stadim (reference is made to the report of our real estate experts included in our integrated Annual & ESG Report on FY 2024annualreport2024 | Montea.

2. Eligible assets and allocation reporting

Below is an overview of our Eligible Green Project Portfolio as per 31 December 2024 and the combined allocation of the net-proceeds raised by the US PP 2021 (i.e. EUR 235 million) and the US PP 2022 (i.e. EUR 380 million). All these net-proceeds were used exclusively to refinance qualifying sustainable assets such as certified buildings and renewable energy in accordance with the eligibility criteria set out in the Green Finance Framework.

For more details on the allocation reference is made to the respective allocation reports published in 2022 and 2023. No additional green finance instruments have been issued since the publication of the allocation and impact report of 26 April 2024, so no additional allocation has taken place since then.

3. Impact reporting

This section sets out, to the extent feasible and available, the calculation of the environmental impact of Montea's Eligible Green Project Portfolio.

3.1. Existing buildings with energy intensity < 75 kWh/(m2.year)

For the existing Eligible Green Projects, the avoided GHG emissions were calculated in relation to the CRREM 1.5°C scenario target for 2024 for the Montea Portfolio.2 The CO2 emissions were calculated according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol with location-based emission factors. Supply data were collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, extraction of contract data and tenant surveys.3

2 The Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) provides the real estate sector with transparent, science-based decarbonization pathways aligned with the Paris climate goals to limit global temperature rise. CRREM was funded by the Horizon Programme of the European Union. The consortium members are the IIÖ (Institute for Real Estate Economics), GRESB, the University of Alicante, Ulster University, and TIAS Business School. Montea uses these decarbonization paths as benchmarks.

3 Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses in monitoring the environmental performance of its portfolio are directly linked to the quality of the information received, possible measurement inaccuracies and other factors that could potentially reduce data quality. Nevertheless, Montea strives for continuous improvement of this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources as verification and the optimization of the monitoring systems.

4 As CRREM - 1,5°C pathway the CRREM version v1.10 (10.05.2020) was used to be consistent with previous reports.

3.2. Renewable energy production systems

For the renewable energy production systems, the avoided GHG emissions were calculated by comparing the GHG emissions for grid electricity to the GHG emissions for locally produced electricity from renewable energy systems (in this case photovoltaic solar systems). The CO2 emissions were calculated according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol with location-based emission factors. Data comes from the monitoring system of the solar systems, the specific yield (kWh/kWp) was calculated for the total portfolio of eligible assets, based on location.5

Nevertheless, Montea strives for continuous improvement of this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources as verification and the optimization of the monitoring systems.

6 For the emission factor of solar panels, a correction was made this year. The emission factor of locally generated green electricity by our PV plants was set to 0. The production of solar energy also has an emission factor, but this is only due to the production process of the solar panels, their transport and installation. These emissions are already included in the embodied carbon of a project and don't need to be taken into account in the comparison with the emission factors of the grid electricity.
