Sustainability is a natural part of Aura Light’s business.

Reporting period: 1 January – 31 December 2025

As a supplier of lighting solutions with in-house production in Sweden, we have the opportunity to influence both our own operations and how our products are used by customers.

Our sustainability work encompasses environmental, social, and economic aspects, with a particular focus on energyefficient products, responsible material choices, and a safe working environment.

The majority of our climate impact occurs during the use phase of our products, making energy efficiency and intelligent control systems our most important contributions.

This is our first sustainability report in accordance with VSME, and we see it as a step toward structuring and developing our work over time.

Climate Targets and Reduced Climate Impact We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and set climate targets in line with the Paris Agreement.

These targets guide our efforts to reduce emissions across the entire value chain and are considered in business and investment decisions. As part of this work, we have initiated the mapping of Scope 3 emissions and continuously work to collect and improve relevant data throughout the value chain.

This is SBTi The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a framework that assists companies and organizations in establishing science-based climate targets aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

A target has been established to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50 percent by 2030, using 2023 as the baseline year, in line with our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The target has already been achieved, and efforts are ongoing to deliver further reductions.

The SBTi is a collaborative effort between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF).

Scope 1 covers emissions that directly originate from our operational activities, such as those from own factories.

Scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling by the reporting company.

Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain, including emissons from suppliers, transportation, waste management, and the use of sold products.

Employees and Working Environment Employee Well-being Drives Success Aura Light works to create a safe and inclusive working environment where respect, participation, and collaboration are central. Occupational health and safety efforts are carried out systematically and in accordance with applicable legislation and internal procedures, covering both physical and organizational work environment aspects.

As part of the sustainability work, employee well-being is monitored through regular anonymous surveys. The results are used to identify areas for improvement and to implement relevant actions.

Relationships, both internal and external, are guided by the company’s Code of Conduct, which sets out principles for ethical, respectful, and inclusive behavior. Aura Light’s values – quality, commitment, flexibility, and speed – guide daily work and contribute to a sustainable workplace and long-term business relationships.

Energy Efficiency in Own Operations As part of Aura Light’s environmental efforts, the factory in Vimmerby has been upgraded to energy-efficient and sustainable LED lighting. This measure contributes to reduced energy consumption and lower climate impact in the company’s own operations.

The new lighting solution is based on LED technology combined with a smart control system that enables monitoring and adaptation to actual needs. The transition results in lower energy consumption, longer luminaire lifetimes, and reduced maintenance and waste. At the same time, the lighting environment has improved, contributing to a safer and more functional workplace for employees.

This measure is an example of how energy efficiency and an improved working environment are integrated into Aura Light’s sustainability work.

11

Responsibility and Compliance Aura Light takes responsibility for its operations throughout the entire value chain – from product development and delivery to business relationships and supplier collaborations. Our responsibility covers both how our products are managed from an environmental and lifecycle perspective and how we conduct our business in an ethical, lawful, and transparent manner.

Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals Aura Light uses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an overarching framework to place its sustainability work in a broader context. Our work with the SDGs is integrated into our operations through the areas identified in our materiality analysis, where we have the greatest opportunity to make an impact. Based on our business activities and offerings, we have chosen to focus particularly on goals that are closely linked to energy efficiency, innovation, and resource efficiency. These goals serve as guidance in product development, production, and in our dialogue with customers and suppliers.

Forward-looking – focus for the coming year Aura Light will continue to develop its sustainability efforts with a focus on energy-efficient products, responsible material choices, and reduced environmental impact in its own operations and throughout the value chain.

We will continue to strengthen follow-up and structure within sustainability governance, further develop collaboration with suppliers, and increase knowledge and awareness – both internally and externally – regarding sustainable lighting.

Our goal is for sustainability to remain an integrated part of our business and to contribute to long-term value creation for customers, employees, and society.
