OUR BUSINESS To achieve this, we work alongside RECSA and other companies responsible for transporting energy from its source to our distribution lines. This collaboration allows us to maintain a stable and secure supply for all our customers. At every stage of the process, we ensure that we operate responsibly toward people and the environment, in accordance with ESG standards, because we believe that true progress is the one that cares for both those we serve and the environment in which we operate.
Every time a light is turned on within our concession area, we renew our commitment to people, communities, and Guatemala. We do more than supply electricity: we work to ensure that energy opens doors, powers businesses, and improves the lives of millions of Guatemalans. In 2025, we served 2.6 million customers; including households, businesses, industrial facilities, and public institutions, within a concession area that reaches more than 13 million Guatemalans.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY Each identified risk is assessed according to its potential environmental, social, and operational impact, and is managed through specific mitigation measures, assigned responsibilities, and monitoring indicators. This approach allows us to anticipate and proactively manage the impacts associated with our operations.
We understand that a responsible business is built by caring for people and the environment. That is why our leaders define and implement concrete actions aimed at upholding this principle. The three dimensions of sustainability; Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), are aligned with international standards. These dimensions are at the center of every daily decision and allow us to identify risks, strengthen safety, and improve our operations. All of this with the purpose of building a positive and lasting impact.
During 2025, we assessed potential risks across the three areas:
At ENERGUATE we build sustainability every day by caring for people, communities, and the environment in which we operate.
Risk Assessment Governance
Our commitment is to ensure that every activity within the electrical system is carried out with environmental responsibility, safety for our employees, and respect for the communities that trust our service.
Processes Assessed Operations Assessed Tasks Assessed Relevant Risks
Environmental
We have an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) aligned with the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The system integrates policies, procedures, risk matrices, audits, and community engagement mechanisms that allow us to identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor strategic, environmental, social, and occupational safety risks across all our operations.

Environmental and Social Risks
Environmental and Social Audits
We continuously verify the implementation of policies and ensure that ESG procedures are being followed; this guarantees continuous improvement. The findings from the two due diligence assessments conducted by IFC during 2024 and 2025 have been closed. In November 2025, the surveillance audit for the ISO 45001:2018 Certification was conducted, confirming the conformity of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS).
We identify and assess strategic, environmental, social, and occupational health and safety risks. These are recorded in assessment matrices that are available to personnel for decision-making in different operational activities, the prevention of workplace incidents, the care of communities, and the protection of the environment.
Maintaining a balance between strong economic results, the well-being of communities, and care for the environment requires the implementation of strategic actions. To achieve this, we follow the guidelines of the international SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) standard, which helps us to accurately measure what we do, communicate transparently, and identify areas for improvement.
07
The SASB internation standards provide guidance for the disclosure of financially relevant sustainability information and focus on environmental, social, and governance topics. They allow to identify in advance the challenges and opportunities that arise across different industries. That is why the implementation of these standards has enabled us to make better decisions and remain on a path of solid growth. This is, in essence, our commitment to sustainability; not as a distant goal, but as a concrete way of operating every day.

GOVERNANCE International Summit on Compliance and Corporate Governance
We promote the culture of ENERGUATE as a way of life. Doing things right is part of our DNA and defines who we are as ENERGUATE. Our team is made up of people who live integrity every day. We foster a culture of honesty, transparency, ethics, and respect, both inside and outside the company. Each person puts their talent at the service of Guatemala.
In 2025, we participated in the second International Summit on Compliance and Corporate Governance, where we reaffirmed our responsible leadership by promoting practices that integrate our regulatory compliance, the prevention of ethical risks, and a culture of integrity throughout the business value chain, ensuring that every decision strengthens stakeholder trust and contributes to ethical and reliable sector development.
We constantly seed consistency between what we believe, communicate, and do. Each value represents the foundation upon which our leaders build relationships of trust and closeness among employees and the communities we serve. This is what strengthens our operation and allows us to establish a long-term vision.
This event brought together business leaders and international experts who shared governance models inspired by leadership principles. Through this event, we participated in a space for dialogue, learning, and networking that allowed us to reflect on how business principles can be integrated into modern compliance systems, promoting ethics, good corporate governance, and transparency in the electricity sector.
Acting ethically also means anticipating problems. That is why we have a Code of Ethics and an Ethics Committee, as well as a reporting channel that, together, prevent irregularities, fraud, and corruption, and protect both the company and our employees. Having clear guidelines and standards provides us with the strength needed to grow responsibly and sustainably in an environment that is constantly changing. Ultimately, all of this serves a single purpose: ensuring that every person, both inside and outside ENERGUATE, can trust us. Because only through that trust is possible to fulfill our purpose: creating connections that truly transform lives.
09
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
Code of Ethics and Compliance Policies
Our Codes:
Acting with integrity requires more than good intentions; it requires clarity about what is expected of each person. That is why, at ENERGUATE, we have a Code of Ethics and Conduct that clearly establishes how we behave, both inside and outside the company, in every situation.
Our Compliance Policies
• Code of Ethics and Conduct • Supplier Code of Conduct
• Human Rights Policy • Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy • Conflict of Interest Policy • Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Policy • Gifts and Business Courtesies Policy
All our employees can access the Code of Ethics and Conduct through our EthicsPoint, intranet, and other communication channels. These guidelines represent a living guide that all our employees know and have adopted as part of their daily work because we understand that how we do things is just as important as the results we achieve. That is why we promote this same vision with the different stakeholders with whom we interact and do business every day.
We firmly believe that, in order to build We firmlybusiness believe that sharing the it same healthy relationships, is values istoessential building essential share the for same values. healthy That is business therefore, the comwhy the relationships; companies and individuals with panies we andpartner individuals withthe whom we partwhom assume commitment ner commit to acting accordance with to act under the insame principles, those same principles, respecting not respecting not only our Code of Ethics only and our Supplier Code of Conduct and comConduct and our Compliance Policies, but pliance butlaws. also applicable laws. also thepolicies applicable
Commitment and Adherence We have come to understand that integrity is something that is built by everyone. That is why it highly relevant to ENERGUATE that every person who is part of our organization embraces this commitment as their own, from senior management to operational teams. The fact that our people and our partners share the same convictions is not something we take for granted; it is one of the achievements that makes us most proud and that we continue to cultivate every day, because we know that an organization with integrity is built from within, one person at a time, all aligned toward the same organizational objective and purpose. As evidence, each year we record the percentage of employees who have been informed, trained, and committed to complying with the guidelines established in the Code of Ethics and Conduct. This involves the different levels of our company and our suppliers.

Reporting Channels We believe in the importance of impartial, transparent, and confidential communication. That is why we make the Ethics Line available to our stakeholders; a formal channel for reporting any irregularity or noncompliance with the Code of Ethics and Conduct, internal regulations, or applicable legislation. The available reporting channels are: • Ethics Line • Corporate PBX Line for Reports of Community Sexual Harassment • Compliance • Direct Supervisor • Legal Services • Talent and Communication • General Management
The Ethics Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to all employees, contractors, and the general public. All investigations are handled with rigor, impartiality, and confidentiality. Reports may be submitted anonymously and, in all cases, we guarantee that there will be no retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith.

Human Rights
Due Diligence
Respecting and promoting respect for Human Rights is a non-negotiable commitment for us. This commitment has enabled us to become a benchmark for ethical conduct in everything we do. Our Human Rights Policy is guided by and aligned with the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, based on the framework of “protect, respect, and remedy.”
To ensure that every process is carried out in accordance with established requirements, we use a proprietary Due Diligence tool that enables us to periodically review and update our records related to the supply chain, business beneficiaries, and donation recipients. This process helps us prevent and mitigate risks in our relationships and allows us to establish timely controls for new initiatives or business ventures, ensuring their proper implementation.
In addition, we ensure on a daily basis that our suppliers have their own Human Rights policies in place, and we encourage them to adopt ours. This allows us to strengthen our commitment to every person with whom we engage, both directly and indirectly.
In this way, we not only prevent risks within our operations but also identify opportunities for improvement.

Risk Management We understand that managing risks strategically is essential to ensuring the long-term sustainability of ENERGUATE’s operations. For this reason, we have a Risk Management Policy that enables us to anticipate and analyze a wide range of situations. Most importantly, it allows us to make proactive decisions that prevent risk situations from becoming actual issues affecting our operations.
Thanks to our Risk Management Policy, we have maintained a controlled risk profile, with particular attention to risks specific to the electric power sector. This enables us to continue operating without compromising the quality of our service or the safety of our customers, employees, and contractors.
14
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
Risk Management Process We have developed a methodology that allows us to periodically assess, classify and prioritize risks, as well as establish our levels of risk tolerance. In addition, it lets us define specific strategies for addressing different types of risks according to the nature of each situation.
Treatment to determine the action plans to be implemented with the objective of eliminating, controlling, or mitigating potential threats and risks. Ongoing monitoring and supervision of assessed risks, implemented action plans, and any new risks not previously identified.
The components of our methodology are:
Oversight by the Risk Management Committee, Compliance and Internal Audit, which are responsible for ensuring the execution and performance of the methodology, policies, and processes. Our Internal Audit is authorized to review and audit the Risk Management System at any stage.
Identification of risks that could have an impact on the various areas of the organization. Evaluation to determine the level of risk: both inherent and residual, presented by each identified event.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
Information Security Centralized Monitoring: We developed a centralized platform to manage logs and access, allowing us to detect incidents proactively.
The secure management of information has gained importance in recent years. This has required us to pay special attention to key areas for the security of our entire organization, with the objective of improving the protection or critical infrastructure through remote controls and secure designs, actively and proactively defending work teams with systems that detect and block threats in real time, and having a clear view of dangers through centralized monitoring tools.
Security Awareness and Culture: We launched practical campaigns that allowed us to simulate various situations, such as phishing simulations. We implemented specialized workshops and developed ongoing reminders through newsletters and specialized training.
The training of our employees through practical and updated activities on our internal regulations has been one of the best ways to protect our operation against any digital and information technology threat. Through our training program, we focus on measuring and improving resilience against social engineering attacks. This has kept us aligned with global compliance standards.
Information Security: We promote criteria that allow us to establish a clear vision for managing security risks and complying with security standards.
Thanks to our cybersecurity strategy, in 2025 we reported no information security incidents.
Cybersecurity Action Pillars Identity and Access Management: We implemented robust solutions with multi-factor authentication to ensure secure remote connections. Perimetral Protection: We installed modern firewalls to protect web applications and cloud services, together with a strict regulation for network segmentation of public network connections. Security of Computer Infrastructure, Servers, and Mobile Devices: We implemented advanced systems for automated threat detection and response on critical devices.

SECURITY PERFORMANCE Ensuring that every employee returns home safely at the end of the day is one of our fundamental commitments. For this reason, we have established guidelines, policies, and protocols that are constantly evaluated and audited, enabling us to make the various work environments in which our employees perform their duties safer. Promoting a culture of individual, collective, and environmental safety, which includes our employees in a continuous training program, has enabled us to strengthen their ability to recognize risk situations in a preventive manner and establish action plans that allow them to respond appropriately and correctly to unexpected and critical situations.
Training Programs Implemented in 2025 • Safety Behavior Standards: Were implemented with the purpose of standardizing safety behaviors across the different hierarchical levels of the Distributor and the contractor companies that provide services to us. • Effective Supervision: It allowed to strengthen the supervisory skills of all operational supervisors and the leaders of the crews of the companies that provide services in order to comply with and ensure the safety policies, guidelines, and technical and safety procedures.
We have also strengthened the channels for reporting accidents and hazardous situations. We then use • Safety Leaders: It promoted the participation of all these reports as experience logs that allow us to employees and contractors by developing safety identify learning opportunities and errors of any kind, leadership skills. make the necessary adjustments, and prevent future incidents. • Near Misses: It focused on the importance of reporting all near misses, evaluating and investigating them in a timely manner, and implementing proactive actions to prevent incidents that could cause injuries to personnel.
18
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
• Recognition for Safety Management: It promoted and rewarded the contractor’s good safety practices. At ENERGUATE, we quarterly recognize excellence in the safety management of contractor companies, the technicians from the safest crews who comply with procedures and have no incidents, and we provide incentives to contractors that present innovation projects. From 2023 to 2025, the contractor companies providing services to ENERGUATE implemented 112 innovation projects in their safety management. We recognized 11 contractor companies with the Excellence in Safety award. In addition, 636 technicians from contractor companies were recognized as safe workers and safe crews.
This is one of the most demanding standards worldwide and a benchmark for electric distribution companies. During this period, the Lost Work Day Case Incident Rate stood at 0.08, remaining below the target of 0.12, and the Total Recordable Incident Rate stood at 0.30, also remaining below the target of 0.32. In 2025, we achieved our goal of zero fatalities related to work activities. This is evidence that all our employees, including personnel from our contractor companies, returned home safely. In addition, our safety performance remained better than the industry standard of the United States Department of Labor in the distribution business for four consecutive years. These results are what give relevance to our prevention programs and guidelines.
Safety Performance Indicators The sustained efforts made over the past years through our prevention programs have enabled us to achieve positive results. Between 2018 and 2025, we maintained a consistent reduction in incident records and remained for four consecutive years with better performance than the industry standard of the United States Department of Labor.

Our conviction to preserving our environment leads us to constantly review what we do and how we do it. Therefore, we continuously measure our environmental impact and set specific goals to continue raising the standard that has enabled us to reduce CO2 emissions, water and energy consumption, as well as generate the least possible amount of waste.

The purpose of caring for the environment and maintaining a strong business are goals that converge. Every responsible practice that we incorporate into our daily operations goes beyond ensuring the sustainable viability of our operations; it includes the well-being of communities and influences the preservation of natural resources.
Internal Energy Consumption
Therefore, every action we implement through our Environmental Policy responds to specific and measurable objectives in accordance with our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Management System. Operating with awareness means that we strive to comply with and exceed environmental requirements at both the national and international levels, thereby preserving the environment and minimizing the impacts generated by our activities.
In response to projected increases in ambient temperature, we have implemented energy efficiency initiatives aimed at keeping internal consumption below 2,700 MWh. In 2025, we achieved the established target as a result of the improvements made to lighting in our work centers and the awareness programs directed to personnel.

Responsible Waste Management In 2025, we managed 1,095 tons of industrial solid waste: 1,086 tons of non-hazardous waste and 9 tons of hazardous waste, all treated in accordance with applicable regulations and our internal procedures. The target for the year was not to exceed 1,200 tons; the result was 105 tons below the target, with a margin of 8.8%.
With regard to hazardous substances, we continued the annual PCB analysis program: we carried out approximately 2,200 tests on equipment with potential PCB content and adapted specific areas for its safe containment, enabling its identification, monitoring, and disposal in accordance with applicable technical standards.
Of this total, we recycled 926 tons through authorized waste managers. At the same time, we upgraded the waste management infrastructure at the Quetzaltenango and Los Esclavos facilities with furniture and equipment specifically designed for metallic and ceramic materials.
Regarding network renewal and maintenance, we carried out the controlled disposal of 167 tons of concrete and wooden poles removed from service, in accordance with internal procedures and environmental criteria. This management prevents accumulation in storage facilities and reduces operational and community risks.
Our approach extends throughout the entire value chain: we require contractor companies to comply with environmental and social standards from their qualification through the execution of the work.

Identification of Vulnerable Sites The platform allows us to identify, prior to any field intervention, whether a grid section or a new project coincides with a sensitive area. With this information, we prioritize the sites that require attention and define the protection or mitigation measures applicable in each case, such as route deviations, adjustments to infrastructure design, or specific management plans.
The electric grid we operate crosses areas with different levels of ecological value: protected areas, biological corridors, sensitive ecosystems, and habitats of species under conservation status. To manage our activities responsibly in these territories, in 2025 we incorporated Horus, a biodiversity geographic platform that cross-references official layers of protected areas and critical ecosystems with the layout of our infrastructure.
The types of areas we monitor through the Horus tool are:

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
AZE Areas (Alliance for Zero Extinction): Identify species that are critically endangered or at high risk of extinction.
KBA (Key Biodiversity Areas): Identify sites that are essential for the survival of biodiversity. They allow us to prioritize the areas in which we must intervene and establish actions that reduce environmental impact.
WHL (UNESCO World Heritage List): Maps sites designated as Biosphere Reserves and Geopark
SIGAP (Guatemalan System of Protected Areas and Multiple-Use Areas): Identifies protected areas without human intervention and others with small communities present.

Biodiversity Conservation
Environmental Training
Biodiversity conservation in the areas influenced by our operations, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas, is a central part of our environmental management. When Horus identifies a site that requires attention, we conduct field environmental assessments that provide a deeper understanding of potential impacts and guide the specific prevention or mitigation measures for each ecosystem.
Promoting awareness for the intelligent and efficient use of energy is something toward which we have directed various efforts. Therefore, we have implemented actions focused on encouraging the active participation of communities. In 2025, we trained 4,800 or our own employees and contractor personnel in topics related to the environmental management of waste and chemical products, as well as material and waste storage facilities.
In 2025, we contracted two specialized consultancies in highly environmentally sensitive sites: one in the Todos Santos Cuchumatán Municipal Park (Huehuetenango) and another in Laguna de Luchuá (Cobán, Alta Verapaz). The last one included the analysis of bird migration patterns, which provided relevant information for ecosystem monitoring and for guiding our operations in the area.
In addition, we delivered educational talks on the efficient use of energy and environmental care. We visited various communities and schools throughout the country, with the participation of more than 17,000 people.
The results of these consultancies feed into our environmental management plans and guide future interventions in highly sensitive areas.

CSR and Community Engagement Community Engagement and Sustainable Development Understanding that communities are also a key stakeholder in our daily operations has led us to establish an open communication policy to listen and foster close dialogue. This has enabled us to build relationships based on trust and transparency. Maintaining open dialogue has allowed us to prioritize actions that truly respond to the needs, concerns, and expectations of communities. Listening to them and acting appropriately, while respecting their differences, is what has enabled us to build a true neighborly relationship. Caring for people, respecting them, and helping them grow has become the heart of our Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Engagement efforts. Our social policies promote inclusion, equity, and sustainable development. We understand that access to energy is a tool that creates opportunities to study, undertake business initiatives, produce, and improve living conditions. Therefore, our initiatives are linked to the Sustainable Development Goals related to education, access to services, community coexistence, equal opportunities, and sustainability.

for everyone. Through our Lucy Movil program, we have reached more than 25,500 girls and boys, mainly in rural areas of the country. On this bus, children live an educational and interactive experience through a digital platform, where they learn about the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as the safe use of this resource.
During 2025, we allocated more than US$2.2 million to initiatives focused on three strategic pillars: community infrastructure, education and culture, and environmental responsibility. We executed a total of US$2,227,407 in social investment programs, reflecting the fulfillment of the commitments made to communities and the efficient execution of the budget. This result demonstrates our commitment to generating social and environmental impact with a long-term vision.
In 2025, it visited 181 schools in 81 municipalities. On this bus, children lived an educational and interactive experience through a digital platform, where they learned about the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as the responsible and safe use of this resource.
Investment in infrastructure, which accounts for 82% of the total, directly contributes to improving access and the quality of electricity service for the communities served. Education initiatives strengthen equal opportunities and community coexistence, while environmental responsibility actions respond to our commitment to the sustainability of the environments in which we operate.
Education and Culture We have incorporated education as one of the pillars of our Social Policy because we understand that access to technology makes possible to create more equitable opportunities for learning and development
In addition, we delivered 117 school talks and 516 community talks in different municipalities, reaching 4,656 boys and girls and 13,506 community leaders. These training sessions are aimed at preventing electrical accidents and promoting good safety practices. These activities helped raise awareness among students, teachers, parents, and community leaders about the importance of using electricity safely and responsibly. As part of our commitment to the education of future generations, we continued the Scholarship Program, which provides support to talented young people with a desire to excel. For many families, this support represents the opportunity to continue their studies and build a life project that

Social and Community Management
Rural Electrification Program (PER) We connected more than 1,800 families in 18 communities in Alta Verapaz, Huehuetenango, and Quiché to the distribution grid, allowing them to turn on a light in their homes for the first time in 2025. Once again, we can confirm that for these families, which now have access to a stable electricity service, a door has been opened to opportunities for development and well-being. This is what allows us to keep our focus on the same goal: creating connections that transform lives. Because every time a light bulb is turned on, a family is filled with hope for the future; a child has the opportunity to study, even at night; a person can run a business; and a community can access healthcare services and connect with the rest of the world. This is what truly drives us every day.
We have proactively established a policy of openness and ongoing dialogue, with the support of various government institutions, particularly the Presidential Commission for Conflict Resolution (COPRECON). In coordination with this entity, more than five high-level dialogue tables were conducted, with the participation of different government entities, municipal authorities, community organizations and local leaders. These spaces have enabled constructive and facilitative dialogue, making it possible to develop negotiation processes aimed at reaching agreements. These agreements also represent a benefit for families in our areas of operation, as they have allowed us to carry out field work to improve the distribution grid, ensuring that families in these communities once again have access to stable, high-quality service. As a result of these strategic dialogue spaces, during 2025 we reached 106 community agreements with more than 176 communities and more than 61,000 customers, through which we provided commercial benefits for debt repayment, normalization and modernization of installations, as well as the improvements necessary to enhance service quality. Thanks to these negotiations, it was possible to normalize and restore service in areas affected by ideological and economic conflicts, such as Las Delicias, Ayutla, San Marcos; Raxruhá, Alta Verapaz; Cayuga; and the urban center of Morales, Izabal.

Labor Practices Decent Working Conditions
Providing our employees with humane treatment has led us to build relationships based on respect, equity, and development. In this way, we foster an inclusive culture where every employee feels valued, heard, and has opportunities to grow, both professionally and personally.
We guarantee working conditions that comply with current legislation and the performance standards of the IFC: limited working hours, salaries in line with the labor market, full social benefits, and open channels for our employees to raise needs and concerns with their supervisory lines. Direct communication between employees and leadership is the primary mechanism for identifying and correcting conditions that affect well-being at work.
Valuing Experience and Diversity The experience and career path of our senior employees are a key resource for our operations. We recognize their technical contribution and their role in knowledge transfer within teams, and we maintain working conditions that allow their full integration without arbitrary differentiation from the rest of the workforce. Diversity and inclusion are part of our workplace culture. We adapt our work environment to their needs and promote empathy so that everyone feels part of the same family. We are proud to have 20 senior employees and 2 employees with disabilities, fully integrated into the different areas of the company.

Strengthening the Workplace Ecosystem
Our Labor Policies As part of the continuous improvement process, during 2025, and considering the standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risk management, we reviewed and updated our Diversity and Inclusion Policy and our Harassment-Free Workplace Policy.
In 2025, we supported 10 contractor companies in the process of obtaining the Ministry of Labor’s Good Practices Certification, which all of them successfully completed. In this way, we extend labor quality standards throughout our value chain.
To achieve the objective of creating a culture with decent, fair, and inclusive working conditions, we have established guidelines through our Labor Policies.
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Structure
Recruitment and Selection Policy: We select our employees transparently, through fair and efficient processes, and we strive to retain those who add value to the team and our company.
In compliance with the amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (Government Agreement 229-2014 and its amendments), we updated the Bipartite Committees at our work centers and incorporated a health monitor at each center with 10 or more employees. The headquarters has one Committee for each Distributor.
Compensation Policy: We offer competitive and fair salaries and benefits because we understand that the well-being of our employees and the company’s performance must be aligned and given the same level of priority.
Values that Define Us
Diversity and Inclusion Policy: We foster a work environment where diversity is valued and where employment opportunities are provided equally to all individuals. This allows us to enrich our organizational dynamics.
Three values guide our actions: integrity, as the foundation of our internal and external relationships; excellence, as a commitment to the quality of the service we provide to our customers; and safety, as an operational priority that protects both people and infrastructure. These values guide decisions and behaviors throughout the company.
Harassment-Free Workplace Policy: We guarantee a workplace where respect is not optional and where harassment or inappropriate conduct is not tolerated. We achieve this through clear guidelines and tools that allow us to address any situation that puts at risk the dignity or the physical, mental, or emotional wellbeing of our employees.

Playing Big Program “We are building a path to create connections that transform lives.” As part of our commitment to promoting women’s empowerment, through the Playing Big Program, in 2025 we conducted a series of workshops focused on supporting our female employees in reconnecting with their personal purpose as the foundation of the way they live and lead. The launch of these workshops coincided with the commemoration of International Women’s Day; in addition, we distributed printed copies of the book “8 Powers” to all participants.
Each session became a space for listening, empathy, and strengthening the bonds of a network of women who support one another. Each participant was guided through a process of introspection and self-awareness to identify patterns that had limited her authenticity and, in turn, transform them into opportunities for growth. At the end of the series of workshops, each woman developed a path that would allow her to align who she is with the way she acts, while also enabling her to establish actions linked to her purpose through daily practice.
In 2025, we consolidated the Corporate Gender Intelligence Program, designed so that every employee, and every person from the contractor companies that operate alongside us, has practical tools to identify biases, prevent inappropriate conduct, and build workplace relationships based on respect. The methodology combines conceptual sessions, group exercises, audiovisual materials, and the analysis of everyday cases, so that learning is grounded in real workplace situations and does not remain merely theoretical.
Corporate Gender Intelligence Program The electricity industry has historically been a maledominated sector, both in operational areas and in specialized technical roles. Aware of this reality, at ENERGUATE we have assumed the responsibility of building workplace, family, and social environments free from microaggressions and gender-based violence, and of creating the conditions for female participation in the industry to grow sustainably.
The program is structured in two levels. In the first phase, we trained a group of 118 facilitators, 23 ENERGUATE employees and 95 employees from contractor companies, who were selected for their 41

leadership within teams and their ability to communicate sensitive topics. In the second phase, these facilitators replicated the content across all sites throughout the country, making it possible to expand the program’s reach without losing proximity.
Each training session was delivered by someone from the organization itself, who understands the operational context and the particular dynamics of each team.
The 2025 results reflect the scale of the effort. In total, 5,146 training hours were delivered, of which 1,372 hours were provided by ENERGUATE facilitators and 3,774 by contractor company facilitators. The program reached 3,391 people: 823 ENERGUATE employees and 2,568 employees from contractor companies. Beyond the numbers, the program consolidated an internal network of facilitators who will serve as references within their teams and ensure the continuity of the effort beyond formal training sessions, integrating gender intelligence into the day-to-day operational culture.
Objectives Addressed by the Program Content:
Understand the difference between sex and gender and how gender conventions are socially constructed. Understand what Corporate Gender Intelligence is and why it is important for ENERGUATE. Learn to recognize gender microaggressions derived from implicit biases, which can become expressions of gender-based violence.
Deepen the recognition of the different types of gender-based violence in our family and social environments. Learn about interventions and tools to eradicate microaggressions and gender-based violence. Address the reporting process for workplace harassment and become familiar with other prevention and management mechanisms.

Substation Projects During 2025, we focused on the construction and execution of three electrical infrastructure projects that will be ready to enter operation in 2026. The development of these projects represents a strategic investment in strengthening the country’s distribution grid and involved the installation of substations and high-voltage transmission lines in Chocolá (Suchitepéquez), La Tinta (Alta Verapaz) and San Juan Comalapa (Chimaltenango).
Benefits for Users • More stable service: electricity reaches homes and businesses more reliably, especially during periods of peak demand, significantly reducing voltage issues and service interruptions. • Grater coverage and capacity: more users will be able to connect to the electricity service, as these new facilities have the capacity to meet greater demand.
Through these substations, we will respond to one of our main objectives: providing uninterrupted, highquality service to all users, thereby generating opportunities for inclusive development.
• Shorter service interruptions: by segmenting the routes through which electricity is delivered into shorter sections, it becomes easier and faster to resolve faults, reducing service interruption times. • Faster service reconnection: the new electrical routes can be interconnected, enabling a more efficient response to unforeseen events and faster service restoration.
