2022 marks our third disclosure year to CDP's Climate Change questionnaire and reporting of our operational GHG emissions aligned with global standards such as the GHG Protocol. We published our seventh sustainability report and second GRI report, in accordance to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, Task Force on Climate- Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our third Carbon Footprint Report disclose our 2022 GHG emissions as well as additional details related to the data disclosed in this questionnaire.

In 2022, we successfully phased out diesel entirely across all our manufacturing facilities and replaced it with natural gas, as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. Additionally, in terms of governance we have developed GB Corp ESG Strategy 2022-2025 covering 2030 Vision. We have recently launched four hybrid vehicle models. In addition, a partnership will facilitate the localization of Electric, Diesel and CNG buses to serve both the Public and Private transportation sectors in the Egyptian market.

C2.1b

(C2.1b) How does your organization define substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?

GB Corp has recently (during 2022) launched its revamped brand, aspiring to be more than just a provider of products and services. We want to enable solutions that bring value to people and promote sustainable practices. In our organization, we define "substantive impacts" as those that have the potential to affect our business activities, customer and employee experience in a positive and/or negative way. This could be due to climate-related risks and opportunities such as conditions or events, which could affect our operational costs, earnings and financial position.

To identify and assess climate-related risks, we use the two criteria:

• the severity of the impact on reputation, operating costs, and revenue, and
• the frequency with which the risk could arise

We regularly evaluate our operations to identify critical and emerging risks that could have a significant effect on GB Corp. Senior leaders discuss and address these risks and report them quarterly to the Risk Committee of the Board and the Board. We also prepare specific plans to mitigate these risks as well as emerging risks, monitor them regularly, and adjust accordingly as needed.

• Operational risks could arise from the absence of a critical supplier where no alternative suppliers are available.
• Financial risks could result from financial losses exceeding a certain threshold, which requires mitigation.
• Additionally, any risk or impact that has the potential to disrupt production and/or prevent access to markets or negatively affect more than 1% of net income is considered significant and requires attention.

Description of process

Risk/opportunities-impact identification Process:

Risks and opportunities by climate-related aspects are integrated into management practices. The process of impact/risk-impact includes several sessions, such as scoping sessions, where climate related risks and opportunities are identified, assessed and responded to throughout the value chain. This is done by the Board of Directors, together with key stakeholders and GB Corp's internal experts and the company's sustainability consultants. Also, the financial, operational, strategic and legal risks of the business are assessed and monitored on a regular basis. The engaged report their practices on early determination of risks, measures to be taken regarding the detected risks, and management of the risks.

Once the risk/opportunity is identified, it's assessed using a typical impact assessment methodology taking into consideration impact probability of occurrence, intensity, spatial and temporal scale and sensitivity of receptors. Thereafter, the response is developed. This covers the planning phase of the response, monitoring and reporting process.

Management and Monitoring Plan:

The decarbonization action plan shall include the actions and measures , the roles and responsibilities besides performance indicators and objectively verifiable indicators. The objectively verifiable indicators are expected to be monitored following the frequency indicated in the plan. This shall be conducted by the different lines of businesses and supervised by the Sustainability Department and the CEO.

As a step in this, following 2020 and 2021, we have assessed our carbon footprint (FY2022). In 2020, GB Corp started to conduct it first GHG calculations and aims to do this on an annual basis and publishing information about its performance and progress towards the set targets in its annual Carbon Footprint report.

Continuing on to 2021, GB Corp accounts for the GHG emissions generated by its internal operations at its owned facilities. All the data collected and analyzed within this report follow the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol principles of relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency, and accuracy.

In 2022, with our recently launched revamped brand, we have been able to further expand our boundaries of operations to now include more facilities and enhanced data quality.

The operational boundaries included GHG emissions of our main activities, embracing direct emissions from controlled equipment and assets, emissions from purchased electricity, and selected indirect emissions resulting from our operations within Egypt and Iraq. The analysis and calculations were based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Inventories, and the ISO 14064-1:2018 standards.

A decarbonization action plan is currently being developed covering operational, management and infrastructure aspects while also prioritizing the mitigation projects and measures according to their ease of implementation , financial indicators and positive environmental and social impacts.

The implementation of the plan is expected to begin in the upcoming years where we are currently assessing projects and actions to be taken, where some of them have already started its implantation, and will be monitored on a quarterly basis, and the progress against emission reduction targets will be published in the sustainability report, the annual carbon footprint as well as disclosed to internal and external stakeholders. This also includes training and capacity building plan targeting all departments in the company on climate change impacts, risks and opportunities, GHG calculations, decarbonization action plan among other ESG material topics. This is complemented by a continuous assessment of ESG performance and development of the annual sustainability report according to GRI standards, that will also be conducted on an annual basis.
