SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
Letter to stakeholders We close the year with the pride of having celebrated our brands with two important milestones, symbols of the mark left over more than a century in the world of hospitality. Although their stories and specificities differ, both share a unique and distinctive value: Italian excellence. On the eve of its 170th anniversary, Sambonet has joined Altagamma — the organization that brings together and supports the most representative companies of Italian excellence in the fashion, design, jewelry, hospitality, food, motor and yachting sectors — becoming part of a virtuous creative and cultural ecosystem. 2025 is also the year in which we celebrated Paderno’s 100th anniversary, the brand that marked my family’s entry into this sector and which — even today — remains the forerunner of our Group’s international growth, thanks to the quality of its kitchen tools, appreciated by chefs around the world. We craft the art of the table and support quality culinary art through creativity, ingenuity and know-how, a legacy that comes from afar, thanks to virtuous and enlightened, all-Italian stories, but which we continue to nourish today through our products and an ambitious strategic positioning. With this document, for over 13 years we have sought to convey to you the work and growth vision of our brands, a journey that goes beyond product quality and places at its center the building of correct, transparent and ethical conduct. Our ethics are precisely the foundation of our decision-making and operational processes and an integral part of our Governance, to the point of determining, including in ESG matters, a precise and organized management approach. We like to think that this way of operating continues to write the history of our brands, adding value to their future and to the entire world of hospitality. Giovanni Coppo CEO, Sambonet Paderno Industrie

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
1.1 Profile Our identity and our history Sambonet Paderno Industrie is one of the most important realities of cutlery, tableware, cookware and accessories for the luxury kitchen in Italy, controlled by the families of the brothers Pierluigi and Franco Coppo through the Arcturus Group holding. With more than a century of history behind them, Sambonet and Paderno, the two souls of the Company, represent the best practices of the sector serving both the Horeca sector and final consumers. The attention to the quality of the product combined with a strong interest in its aesthetics, have made the two brands of the Company, Sambonet and Paderno, award-winning and internationally recognized brands. Sambonet, Paderno and Arthur Krupp were recognized as “Historical Trademarks of National Interest” and entered in the special register kept by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. The recognition, granted to brands with a long-standing presence and a strong link to Italian production, confirms the heritage of all three brands of the Company.
100 years of Paderno: In 2025, Paderno celebrated its 100th anniversary. Since 1925, Paderno has stood alongside chefs and restaurants, facing the everyday challenges of professional kitchens with passion and determination — providing the tools that turn every new creation into a masterpiece, and building lasting, trustworthy partnerships. Looking to the next hundred years, Paderno carries this same commitment forward.
In 2025, Sambonet began the process that led to its admission to Fondazione Altagamma in 2026. The institution that since 1992 has brought together and supported the most representative companies of Italian excellence in the fields of fashion, design, jewelry, hospitality, food automotive and yachting. Today, Altagamma stands as a true creative and cultural ecosystem – the leading accelerator of Made in Italy. For Sambonet is an honor for us to stand alongside such prestigious brands — pioneers and established ambassadors of Italian excellence on an international level.

Profile Our identity and our history
Between nature, art and design The Sambonet Paderno plant Sambonet Paderno carries out its activities in a plant covering 110,000 m², designed by Frigerio Design Group to blend into the Piedmont countryside. The entire site has been imagined, as a whole, as a design object integrated within the context of the Piedmont countryside. The plant project, followed by the Frigerio Design Group studio, has been able to harmonize forms and functions with the image of the surrounding territory characterized, in some ways, by great contradictions: pervaded on one side by the rhythms of production and trade, but on the other side, marked by the secular rhythms of the agricultural world. The culture and traditions that distinguish the surrounding area become the inspiring elements of the architectural project, which precisely arises from the recognition of the peculiar and constitutive characteristics of the surrounding landscape: from the geometries of the road layouts to the subdivision of patches of paddy field according to Cartesian forms, to the courses of irrigation channels.
110,000 m² area • Horizontal layout for maximum integration with the landscape
• Glass window measuring 100 m x 8 m for natural light and transparency
• Large green areas designed with local agricultural elements

SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
The philosophy of Slow Architecture according to the Frigerio Design studio. “Slow Architecture is the philosophy and manifesto that guides the development of our projects. In short, for me it is a progressive architecture with a reduced ecological footprint, one that lives over time and draws from its context the resources that define it. Method and process come into play, within a broader horizon of analysis and development, and the time factor is introduced. The project does not end with the final inspection on completion, but looks further ahead, putting people back at the centre, with their history and their future, together with the environment and its resources”. Enrico Frigerio, founder of Frigerio Design Group
Art is in the Company Sambonet is committed to creating a work environment for its employees that pays attention to artistic detail. For this reason, the ownership has furnished the Company with the aim of creating a welcoming and inspiring place for all employees and, at the same time, promoting the Italian savoir-faire that the Company itself represents. The Novara headquarters boasts a collection of around 30 works of art, including paintings and sculptures both indoors and outdoors, created mainly by Italian artists such as Alfonso Borghi, Mauro Staccioli, and Antonio Paradiso.

The Design what makes us unique Undoubtedly the distinctive trait in Sambonet’s work and design is given by its autonomy in realization, from the concept and the design phase to the production phase, thus giving all products a clear connotation of craftsmanship: 90% of the products are in fact signed by the style center of the company. This has always helped to strengthen the brand identity, making it exclusive and unmistakable in the international panorama. Collaborations with renowned external designers are linked to specific projects and enrich the wide “home-made” offer.

Transparent management of our business Governance, Ethics and Compliance
Governance The corporate structure Sambonet Paderno Industrie is the business that brought to life the current Arcturus Group, an Italian holding that includes well-known international porcelain and silverware brands of the highest quality. A success story the Coppo family embarked on, transforming the company in its early days 1978 from “a mechanical workshop in Milan to an international leader in prestige tableware”.
The company’s governance model is traditional, establishing a Board of Directors, represented by CEO Giovanni Coppo, chaired by Franco Coppo, along with a Board of Statutory Auditors. Sambonet relies on a leading independent auditing firm for the review of its financial statements, ensuring the proper application of national and international accounting standards.

As part of the management of sustainability issues, the company is pursuing itself to pursue ESGrelated initiatives, monitor its compliance with new regulations and, ultimately, coordinate tasks regarding sustainability reporting.
SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
Compliance and risk management Starting from the end of December 2021, the Company has adopted its own Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 (hereinafter “Model 231” or “M.O.G.”) for the management of environmental risks and those related to individuals’ health and safety. The Model has subsequently been updated and expanded to cover tax crimes and administrative offences, ensuring comprehensive compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/01 and related regulations. This initiative was taken in the belief that the adoption of the Model can be a valid tool for raising awareness among all those who work in the name and on behalf of the company, so that they adopt correct and linear behavior in carrying out their activities, such as to prevent risk of committing the offenses provided for by the Decree itself. In particular, through the adoption of the Model, the company aims to pursue a thorough and periodic monitoring of the areas of activities at risk and to intervene promptly to prevent or counter the carrying out of the crimes themselves. The Organizational Model, however, has been completed with the establishment of a Supervisory Body that, as required by the Article 6 of Legislative Decree n.231/2001, has the function of overseeing the functioning, effectiveness and compliance with the Organizational Model, taking care of its constant updating. In the 2025 the Supervisory Body has been composed of three external members, strengthening the collegial and independent oversight of the Model 231. Since July 2023, the company has set up a platform for whistleblowing in accordance with Legislative Decree of March 2023. Following the severe weather event that affected the Orfengo site in July 2024, Sambonet carried out a climate risk assessment in 2025 with the support of external consultants. The assessment examined the site’s exposure to acute physical risks, including extreme weather events, and chronic risks, such as rising temperatures. The findings will support the definition of appropriate prevention and adaptation measures and inform the review of insurance coverage.

2.3 What is important Materiality assessment The materiality analysis is the tool with which the definition of “material” issues is made; this concerns those aspects of economic, social and environmental responsibility that are of significance for both the Company and its Stakeholders. The process of defining these issues has been conducted gradually over the years; it initially called for benchmarking analyses and company workshops and later for the random involvement of various internal and external stakeholders. The data acquired have made it possible to finalise Sambonet Paderno Industrie’s materiality matrix in which the issues that the organisation must consider and the intersection of the levels of interest that they exert on the various stakeholders are represented.

The attention to the staff begins the same day you become part of the Sambonet Paderno family, in fact, during 2021, the Company has drawn up a “Welcome Book”, structured document that from 2022 had been provided to all new hires with the aim of making the on-boarding and integration process more fluid and effective in the company. In fact, with this document, the new entry immediately gets to know the values, practices and policies of the Company. Within the Welcome Book, in fact, there are the most important information in this field, such as the rules of conduct in the Company, the values described in the code of ethics, the procedures for safety and prevention, the presentation of the existing certifications and management systems that characterize the path towards sustainability at 360°.

DIVERSITY: A VALUE FROM THE OUTSET
To complete the total staff, Sambonet has 6 working relationships with workers who are not employees, all interns introduced in collaboration with high schools and Universities of the surrounding areas. The internship collaboration is realized with the aim of creating value for local communities: young talents of the territory are given the chance to increase their technical skills, not only at school but also directly on the field, approaching the reality of Sambonet, and, potentially, to find work immediately after graduation*.
Sambonet pays particular attention to diversity in the company and carries out daily the commitment to achieving gender equality in the composition of the staff, which today is made up of 46% of female staff. The Pdr 125 certification obtained in 2023 naturally placed itself in this context. For the same reason, the company is committed to ensuring female representation even in high-level jobs, in fact 50% of Sambonet executives are female. Moreover, in 2025 Sambonet employees belonging to protected categories are 16 (17 in 2024). The Company takes great care in the integration of this group with other employees, in the protection of their rights and health and safety at the place of work.

Enhancement of personnel TRAINING
Sambonet Paderno Industrie wants to preserve the excellent craftsmanship of which the Company has become a landmark through the years keeping up with technological innovation and emerging industry trends. Conscious of how much these factors influences the success of the company, Sambonet seeks every day to invest in its people, in responsible sourcing and in the continuous development of its products. For the Company, the fundamental key of its corporate strategy is the development of its employees, indeed it invests in training and in updating the skills of its human capital precisely with this perspective: innovating tradition. From the very first day, a new hired becomes part of the Sambonet Paderno family, being accompanied in a path of professional and personal growth, aimed at retaining talent and encouraging the development of specific skills. Each employee, according to their role and positioning within the Company, is accompanied by training courses that aim at its growth and specialization. Starting from 2021, in the Performance Management activities, the Company included an assessment of the training needs of groups of employees that, starting from the analysis of the performance of the previous year, includes the types of courses to be provided the following year. The mapping is done through collaboration with the managers of each area and is not implemented for each employee, but for working groups (depending on their function). Sambonet also cares about the support of employees who change roles within the Company, designing specific training courses from case to case.
70
SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
The Company guarantees multiple training courses, internally managed for the Hard Skills (for example specific training for the factory workers), instead managed through third-party companies regarding the Soft Skills. The compulsory courses focus on Health and Safety in the company (e.g, first aid, toxic gas licenses, etc.), while the non-compulsory training courses focus on languages, administrative updates, technical courses for the use of specific machinery and effective communication with its stakeholders (course implemented from 2021 mainly addressed to managerial figures). To crown Sambonet’s commitment to the formation of its human capital, there is the intention to implement increasingly structured plans for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the training provided, developing targeted gap analysis and considering employee performance. In this way it will be possible to formalize specific targets for the training of all.
During 2025, Sambonet provided
5.565
hours of training. In 2024 there were 5.016.
In particular,
86%
of the scheduled hours are non-compulsory training courses, to highlight the Company’s sincere interest in educating and keeping its employees always up to date, investing time, resources and capital.

Performance assessment AND INCENTIVE SYSTEMS Sambonet Paderno Industrie, to encourage the professional growth of all employees has activated an annual performance assessment mechanism, designed to bring to light virtuous behaviours in the performance of activities/projects and to give the possibility to make defined, clear, shared and measurable the objectives and expectations of each role for the period following the assessment. Moreover, for about 20% of employees there is also an incentive system MBO (Management By Objectives), a method of evaluation of human resources based on the achievement of objectives: currently, in fact, this system is applied to commercial and managerial figures. The Company does not exclude the application of this system to a greater number of employees in the coming years. Finally, Sambonet is proud to share its annual result with all employees, in fact all employees are entitled to an annual award linked to the result achieved by the Company.

Respect and inclusion The foundations of being together Sambonet adopts an integrated system of management and development of human resources that offers all its employees equal opportunities and professional development, based on merit criteria, avoiding any type of discrimination (gender, racial, sexual, etc.).
• ZERO discrimination episodes • Our Goal: ZERO Gender Pay Gap The Company not only leads personnel management (e.g, hiring, promotions, etc.) avoiding any form of discrimination, but is also committed to promoting an inclusive working environment by banning, within the Code of Ethics, any behavior of verbal, physical or psychological violence by an employee to any individual inside or outside the Company. In 2025, the Company’s commitment to these issues resulted in zero discriminations. In particular, with respect to the subject of remuneration, the Company is working to eliminate the gender pay gap (pay gap between male and female employees in the same role). This is how Sambonet promotes an inclusive work environment: countering all forms of discrimination in company policies and practices and ensuring psycho-physical well-being and employees satisfaction.

Protection of workers Health and safety Sambonet cares about the health and safety of its personnel and for this reason seeks to create safe and comfortable working environments, spreading the “culture of prevention” accompanied by concrete measures, formal procedures, monitoring systems, and periodic training. As proof of the Company’s attention to ensuring safe working conditions, in 2025 there were 3 cases of injuries related to the workplace. The Company believes that security, by its nature, is a “status” that implies the participation of all resources and is attainable through acknowledge of risks and their prevention and therefore it develops through:
• Dissemination of culture of prevention. • The ongoing risk assessment by those who work “in the field”. • Detecting the trend of the elements of distress. • The risk analysis. The safety management system is based on following pillars:
Employees training and involvement
In partnership with ASL Novara and Confindustria Novara Vercelli e Valsesia (CNVV), Sambonet promotes initiatives to improve workers’ health and wellbeing. Each year, preventive actions and organizational changes are introduced to guide recommended practices and behaviors among Sambonet employees.

Us People at the heart of the company
Employees training and involvement Sambonet focuses on the widespread awareness among workers of the risks related to work activities as a form of prevention. The Company, to root the sense of awareness in all the staff, promotes countless training and education courses in health and safety, provided by qualified personnel, sometimes internal, sometimes external:
• Compulsory training courses for the entire company population; • First aid courses for competent personnel; • RSPP and RLS refresher courses; • Fire training; • Specific courses on the use of certain machineries.
Evaluation and risk management The active involvement of employees is an important element in the process of raising employees’ awareness toward health and safety risks. Indeed, Sambonet encourages all the workers to report any situation of danger occurred or that may occur (near miss). For this reason, the Company has implemented the PS009, a specific procedure on internal communication of near miss. This procedure outlines the ways in which it is possible for an employee to make a report: • by special mail; • using the boxes in the canteen and reception; • through its supervisor, SGM, MSW and/or RSPP or ASPP. After the report has been made, the security team in charge reviews the cases and the preventive actions to be taken. Sambonet then prepared the Risk Assessment Document pursuant to Legislative Decree 81/08 and s.m.i., periodically revised and integrated according to the evolution of the business environment. The evaluation methodology was set up without neglecting any relevant aspects and giving order to the information collected, developing the following operational objectives: • Identification of workplace dangers. • Justification of the method and the technical choices adopted for the risk assessment in order to draw up a report, as motivated as possible, concerning machinery, equipment and products; • Monitoring the adequacy of the measures taken; • Establish a priority list if further measures are needed; • To demonstrate that all factors relating to work have been taken into account and this has allowed a valid and reasoned assessment of the measures taken; • Ensure that the measures taken, as a result of the risk assessment, are effectively improving the level of protection of workers. The main categories of risk are related to the machinery used in the technical/production departments and industrial activities.

Monitoring and management of accidents Accident management is supported by written procedures, which comply not only with laws and regulations but also with ISO 45001. The procedures define the roles, responsibilities, actions to be taken to report accidents (both actual and near-miss) by employees and, finally, the activities to be implemented once the report is received: specific investigations with recognition of any non-compliance and corrective and preventive actions. During 2025 there were 3 accidents, and, therefore, the accident frequency index is 1.27, down compared to 2024 where it was 2.97. The decrease can be also attributable to the hours worked in 2025. With a view to prevention and continuous improvement, the company has always invested in education, information and training in order to improve the level of awareness of the risks and dangers associated with each tasks.

3.2 From raw materials to shipping The production process
To preserve the value built over time through the quality and design of its products, Sambonet adopts a responsible approach throughout the entire value chain: from the careful selection of raw materials, compliant with European food-contact regulations, to production processes focused on innovation, efficiency and limiting waste.
82
SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
The quality of Sambonet products stems from the choice of excellent metallic raw materials, with stainless steel and aluminum being the predominant materials in terms of both quantity and the number of product articles. Each material is selected with the utmost care, in full compliance with European food safety regulations. The steels employed, such as AISI 304 and AISI 420, are included in the positive lists of the Italian Ministry of Health and are analyzed with high-precision instruments, such as X-ray guns, to ensure the perfect conformity of their composition. The stainless steel and aluminium we use are fully recyclable: steel, in particular, can be recycled repeatedly without losing its features. Metal production scrap is collected separately and sent to specialised operators for recycling.
Responsible supply The value chain The high quality and reliability of the products that distinguish Sambonet are guaranteed, among other things, by the management of the production chain that contributes to the realization of the finished product.
The Company establishes strong, lasting relationships based on mutual trust with its suppliers. To ensure the excellence that has always characterized its products, Sambonet selects the entities with whom to collaborate, following strict criteria both in the ethical and environmental field.

From raw materials to shipping The production process
Raw materials Almost all the raw materials used by the Company are metals (in particular stainless steel, aluminium, nickel silver and brass). The totality of the suppliers is constituted from resellers, of which 76% placed in Italy, while the remaining part coming mainly from Germany, France, Hungary, Turkey, India and U.S.A. To these last ones, Sambonet asks the declaration of absence of “Conflict Minerals1” both in the qualification phase and in the subsequent period, annually.
Semi-finished products and components The company buys semi-finished products and components that, subsequently, through techniques and maximum experience, are reworked or, in the case of components, assembled to the body of the product.
Contractors Sambonet relies on third parties for processes that require specific technical skills, such as surfaces finishing treatments or heat treatments. The Company, committed to enhancing its territory, collaborates with local contractors, located in the province of Verbano Cusio Ossola or in the Po Valley. This brings out an attention from the company to favor, where possible and preferable, relationships with suppliers located near the plant and the operating area, for better organizational capacity, favouring suppliers close to the plant, which shortens transport distances and supports the local economy.
The list of suppliers, for 2025, is composed of almost
ONE THOUSAND companies for a total expense2 of 39,006,565 euros
Conflict Minerals are natural resources mined in conflict zones and sold to perpetuate hostilities. Various armies, rebel groups and external parties profit from mining, while contributing to violence and exploitation during wars in these regions. 2 In this context, “total annual expenditure” means how much Sambonet has spent in the course of 2025 towards the totality of the suppliers. The total of suppliers includes the following categories: retailers of raw materials, contractors, suppliers of semi-finished products, consumables, goods and services, packaging and packaging materials. For further details on the expenditure towards suppliers incurred by Sambonet in 2025, refer to the GRI 204-1 performance indicator Proportion of expenditure to local suppliers -Table No. 16. 1

Dalle materie prime alla spedizione Il processo produttivo
The Code of Conduct for producers and suppliers Sambonet, as a socially engaged organization, feels the responsibility to develop a business model that allows it to transmit its values through the production chains: for this reason, since 2015 it has implemented the Code of Conduct for manufacturers and suppliers. The Code includes principles and standards for the correct development of relations between the Group and its suppliers and has been formulated through three fundamental criteria:
• ALL OPERATIONS MANAGED BY THE GROUP AND ITS EMPLOYEES MUST BE DEVELOPED FROM AN ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE PERSPECTIVE • ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY KIND OF EMPLOYMENT, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GROUP MUST BE TREATED IN A FAIR AND HONOURABLE MANNER • THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GROUP’S ACTIVITIES MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MANNER The aim of this document is to raise awareness of these interlocutors on purely ethical, social and environmental issues, so as to ensure, apart from quality, reliability and safety of products processed and distributed on the markets, the protection of the environment and health, compliance with ISO standards, a remuneration that guarantees a dignified lifestyle, and finally, fairness in business activities.

The productive heart Focus on the production process Once arrived, the raw material is stored in the warehouse and, subsequently, prepared for use in production processes. The process to produce an article is composed of multiple phases whose nature and sequence varies significantly according to the final product (pots vs cutlery vs tableware...). Once finished with the final cleaning, an object can be subjected to further processes such as silvering and the galvanic gilding or PVD, before being assembled/packaged.

From raw materials to shipping The production process
A visionary approach to production technology has always been close to the heart of the company. Over the years, Sambonet has constantly invested in new technologies and kept all its machinery running at a high level of efficiency, as well as making particularly large investments in Industry 4.0 in recent times. The company has always made decisions that put efficiency alongside the sustainability of internal processes.
Profoundly artisanal processes, which remain relatively untouched by the technological boom of the 21st century, have been made safer and more efficient through investments that do not affect the method of operation. For example, torch welding is a manual operation dating back to antiquity that is still used today at Sambonet for the production of fine tableware and coffee pots. For more than a decade it has used water electrolysis technology to produce hydrogen gas (and oxygen) to feed the flame, and has stopped using the acetylene cylinder altogether, since it not only presented a risk factor from pressurised gas, but also released oxidation products such as carbon dioxide (CO2). In contrast, the hydrogen flame produces only water vapour, with no direct CO2 emissions, unlike the \acetylene previously used. The material cutting technologies currently in use (with laser and with water) enable the company to carry out its production while minimising waste of raw materials, which are used to full potential. In recent years Sambonet has dedicated numerous resources (both human and financial) to innovating and renewing its processes, introducing new technologies and implementing automation and efficiency in the manufacturing of eating utensils, saucepans and tableware. The new technologies introduced have consolidated the practice of experimentation in the creation of new products, stimulating creativity and enhancing the professional skills of the people involved. In 2025 Sambonet launched a new digitalisation project: Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which automates repetitive administrative tasks, such as order entry and invoice matching freeing up time for higher-value activities.

Sambonet uses lower-impact materials in several processes, such as plant-based drying media in the galvanic line and recycled media in the vibratory finishing plant. The company constantly monitors not only the quantity of withdrawals and discharges, through meters installed in 2019, but also - and more importantly - the quality of discharges. To this end, the company runs daily tests on discharges to analyse the levels of nickel and total cyanides; these activities are carried out by Sambonet’s in-house laboratory, AsecLAb, which in 2013 was accredited as a test laboratory in accordance with UNI EN ISO 17025. The monitoring activities carried out in 2025 did not reveal any exceedances of the limits established by current regulations.

Energy The use of energy resources throughout the production process Sambonet is aware of the fundamental importance that careful energy management has both internally and for the community and the environment. For several years, in fact, having an integrated policy that responds to ISO 50001 certified management systems, it annually implements monitoring activities such as: • Energy analyses conducted by the Energy Manager certified under UNI CEI 11339 (EGE); • Energy Diagnosis conducted in accordance with ISO 16247 by certified EGE professionals; • Punctual systems for monitoring energy consumption through meters also installed on the various production lines; • Calculation of specific KPIs in the field of energy performance. The set of these monitoring actions allows the Company to identify the most significant areas of energy consumption, possible inefficiencies or problems, which cause for example losses and general malfunctions, and opportunities to improve performance in order to define objectives, targets and action plans.
ENERGY FROM THE SUN Investing to improve The photovoltaic system, built in phases between 2021 and 2023, has over 5,000 panels on more than 6,000 m². In 2025 it generated 1’462’582 kWh, covering approximately 40% of the plant’s electricity demand and avoiding approximately 344 tCO₂e, based on the location-based electricity emission factor for Italy.

SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
USE OF ENERGY SOURCES BY SAMBONET Natural Gas Sambonet uses natural gas for heating the plant and the warehouse on the one hand, and for the operation of washing machines located in the various production departments on the other, in this case, in fact, methane is necessary for heating the solutions and for drying the pieces.
Electrical Energy The Company uses electricity mainly to power its production processes and to supply energy offices. The Company believes in renewable energy and has shown this in the choice of electricity suppliers. Since 2014 Sambonet uses electricity 100% covered by certificates of Guarantees of Origin; since 2022, part of the electricity demand at the Orfengo plant has also been met through electricity generated by the Company’s photovoltaic system and self-consumed. In particular, in 2025 approximately 40% of the Company’s total electricity consumption was covered by self-generated and self-consumed electricity, while the remaining share was sourced from the electricity grid and covered by Guarantees of Origin.
Diesel The company uses Diesel fuel exclusively for the movement of a limited fleet of vehicles. Instead, it doesn’t have heavy vehicles because the logistics is entrusted to a network of couriers.
In particular, the Sambonet’s vehicle fleet is structured in this way:
7 vehicles
for business use
15 vehicles

0,04 Energy intensity (Electric Energy) 2024 To improve and make the Company more efficient from an energy point of view, Sambonet has invested in energy efficiency activities over the years through, for example: • Intelligent lighting systems that provide sensors for automatic adjustment compared to the natural light in the environment; • The introduction of LED lighting has been completed throughout the entire warehouse and production area; • Replacement of machinery or parts of the same that led to waste or poor efficiency; • Energy consumption monitoring system thanks to the installation of meters on all production lines in a uniform manner, to ensure completeness in monitoring; • Installation of pulse relays and remote reading of analog meters. This implementation enables the automated collection of readings, increasing both the frequency and the level of detail regarding hourly withdrawals. One of the additional goals on which Sambonet works is to improve environmental culture with systematic education, information and training, in order to increase the level of awareness of hazards and risks, and knowledge of techniques for the prevention of environmental problems, correct application of laws and regulations.
0,72 2025
0,56 The energy intensity indicators were calculated as the ratio between energy resource and pieces produced during the year 2025(6,526,326 pcs) and 2024 (4.760.462 pz). The energy intensity indicator data show a significant improvement between 2024 and 2025. This improvement in the indicators should be read in relation to the increase in the number of pieces produced in 2025 compared to 2024. Since the indicators are expressed in specific terms (consumption per unit produced), their reduction can be partly explained by a dilution effect of fixed energy costs over a larger production volume. This suggests that the company benefited from: - Greater plant efficiency when operating at full production capacity; - Process optimization, which allowed higher volumes to be sustained without a proportional increase in energy consumption; -A likely scale effect, particularly evident in electricity consumption, which showed the most marked improvement.

Air Monitoring of atmospheric emissions Sambonet Paderno Industrie has chosen technological solutions that optimize the quality and quantity of emissions into the atmosphere. The emissions are low air pollution and are authorized in compliance with the emission limits and requirements indicated, for the type of processing carried out, in the D.D. of the Piedmont Region n. 145 of 2 May 2011 and in accordance with the current national legislation on environmental protection (Legislative Decree 152/06, Environmental Code). For Sambonet, the commitment to this important issue translates not only into the monitoring of direct and indirect emissions of GHG, but also in the monitoring of further significant emissions that some production plants produce mainly in the departments of: • mechanical production; • galvanic. In this regard, the Sambonet plant is in possession of a Unified Environmental Authorization (SEA) relating to emissions into the atmosphere and water discharges. For Sambonet, self-monitoring analyses are not a mere fulfilment prescribed by the single environmental authorisation (Autorizzazione Unica Ambientale - AUA), but a useful process for periodically monitoring the environmental impact of the production process, with a view to analysing risks and opportunities for the continuous improvement of environmental performance. The data collected to date have not shown any exceedances of the limits established by current regulations.

Water Sustainable management of water resources Water is of crucial importance for the planet and its ecosystems, as well as for humans. At the same time, water is at the heart of Sambonet Paderno’s production processes. Sambonet is aware of the value of water and is committed to using it efficiently and to returning it to the environment in compliance with discharge limits. The water withdrawal takes place mainly through two wells owned by Sambonet, authorized for industrial use for water supply and for a residual part, through the aqueduct of the Municipality of Casalino. Sambonet can also boast a purification system, which allows, in part, the recirculation of water, thus contributing to the overall reduction of water withdrawal. The company uses the water resource for civil uses, but especially for industrial uses during some specific stages of the production process. In particular: • for silver plating treatments; • during the extraction and pickling phases, where the pieces of pottery and cookware are treated in water with nitric and sulphuric acid; • during the moulding of the pottery through water-jet plants that allow the product to take on rounded shapes; • in the final washing phases where the products through treatment tanks and washing tunnels are cleaned for several years with aqueous solutions of detergents, and no longer with chemical solvents, to minimize water pollution.

After the chemical-physical treatment of industrial water, and clarification of domestic water, the wastewater is sent to the Busca irrigation channel. The discharge activity is conducted by Sambonet in accordance with the Legislative Decree 152/06 as well as the provisions contained within the SEA that authorizes Sambonet to discharge into surface water. The chemical-physical treatments performed by a purifier owned by Sambonet, allow to purify the water through operations such as oxidation of cyanides, reduction of organic substances and metals, sand filtration to ensure the quality and compliance with all the parameters required by the above-mentioned provisions.
In 2025 water withdrawal rose by 17% and discharges by 22% compared with 2024, in line with higher production volumes; net consumption was around 18,000 m³.
RECIRCULATION OF WASHING WATER Inside the Sambonet Paderno plant, there are five washing machines located in different departments. The operation of these systems fully corresponds to the Company’s philosophy of using water as a resource not to be squandered, with the aim of achieving the lowest possible consumption. For this reason, the washing tunnels provide rinsing ramps with adjustable and measurable flow through flow meters; the power supply of each ramp is controlled by a level switch placed in the tank of that washing section and if necessary, a water flow from the next section comes into operation. In this way, the solutions of the cleaner rinsing tanks feed the previous rinses thus providing a mechanism of “re-use”.

Special finishes Innovative Colors and Textures for Stainless Steel Stainless steel surfaces also come in new finishes and textures. Innovative processes with minimal environmental impact make it possible to durably shape the steel’s surface. Microbeads strike the stainless steel surface, creating the Antique texture — matte yet delicate to the touch. In the Vintage finish, on the other hand, abrasive materials made of recycled plastic gently tumble together with the items being processed, giving the steel surface a matte, handcrafted look. Antique and Vintage finishes can be combined with the colors obtained by PVD. The PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is a treatment that gives stainless steel objects distinctive and impactful color variations. It is used for the deposition of thin films on the surfaces of objects to be covered (for example, knives, other cutlery or pottery). PVD coatings are used to obtain different surface finishes and are subject to food-contact safety testing by our accredited laboratory, where applicable. Unlike conventional galvanic treatments, PVD coating relies on a different surface treatment technology, involving different process conditions and chemical inputs.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
4.2 Focus on the customers Their satisfaction Ensuring full customer satisfaction is for Sambonet Paderno an absolute and essential priority, together with the drive towards innovation and sustainability. For this reason, it is committed daily to offer its consumers quality products and to ensure compliance with the methods and delivery times. For Sambonet it is essential to establish a consolidated and lasting relationship of trust with customers. For a continuous strengthening of the same, the company has implemented over time instruments and channels of measurement of customer satisfaction. Thanks to the Quality Management System, formalized and certified for about 10 years, Sambonet annually measures some KPIs expression of quality and customer satisfaction; the data that are collected are later analyzed, to assess the effectiveness of the system but above all to identify the areas on which to implement improvement actions and set increasingly ambitious and challenging goals. The data are being analyzed on annual basis and relate, for example, to information about customer return (satisfaction, returns/complaints, etc.), product monitoring and process monitoring.
Quality and customer satisfaction in numbers*
1,9 %
Impact of returns on total turnover
0,15 %
Defectiveness on the total pieces shipped
*In relation to the volume of turnover and the types of defects found, the performance, which refers to the year 2025, tends to be in line with previous years.
A further fundamental tool for monitoring customer and consumer satisfaction are questionnaires given to customers to know them better and receive feedback on their opinion and experience. A 2025 survey of 194 customers indicated that resellers and retailers rate our quality and service highly, and that end consumers consider sustainability a relevant purchasing factor. This confirms the importance of continuing our sustainability journey.

SAMBONET PADERNO INDUSTRIE SPA
5.1 Methodological note This document represents the fifth Sustainability Report of Sambonet Paderno Industrie (hereinafter “the Company” or “the Organization”) and is drawn up in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (2021) issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), following the “In accordance” option. Since 2012, the Company has published a report on its environmental, social and economic performance every year. Since 2021, it has chosen to further strengthen this commitment by adopting one of the main international standards, through a structured and transparent Sustainability Report. This document is prepared on a voluntary basis, with the aim of offering its stakeholders an increasingly higher level of clarity and accountability. The information and data reported in this document refer to the year 2025 (from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025). To enable data comparability over time and assess the Company’s performance trends, comparisons with the previous year are provided where available. It should also be noted that different calculation methodologies may have been used for some data previously reported in earlier Sustainability Reports; consequently, discrepancies may arise compared to the same data reported for years prior to 2025. The material topics were last reviewed in 2023 through survey involving 20 internal and 20 external stakeholders. This process made it possible to identify the environmental, social, and economic topics most relevant to the Company and its stakeholders, forming the basis for reporting. For further details, please refer to the GRI Content Index in the appendix of the Report, where the GRI indicators associated with each material topic and their corresponding nomenclature are listed. The Sustainability Report was drafted using the reporting approach described in GRI Universal 3 (2021) for identifying material topics, which includes understanding the Company’s context, identifying potential and actual impacts, and analyzing those impacts. In fact, information relating to the identified material topics and mapped stakeholders allow to transparently report on the Company’s impacts within its sustainability journey. Finally, the document reflects the principles of GRI Standard 1 (2021): accuracy, balance, clarity, comparability, completeness, sustainability context, timeliness, and verifiability. Compared with the 2024 Sustainability Report, the restated data are shown in italics in the tables below. The reporting boundary of the data coincides with that of the Company’s Financial Statements. The Sustainability Report will be published annually. To ensure data reliability, the use of estimates has been limited to cases where it was strictly necessary and always based on recognized and declared methodologies. The 2025 Sustainability Report has not been verified by independent third-party assurance but was approved by the Board of Directors of Sambonet Paderno on 29/10/2026. This document has also been made publicly available on the Company’s website, at the following address: https://www.sambonet.com/sustainability.html.

The accident index is calculated through the ratio between the number of accidents and the hours worked by employees/external workers, multiplied by 200,000 (Source: Sustainability Reporting Guidelines - GRI Standards version, Global Reporting Initiative). Recordable accidents at work are accidents requiring more than three days’ absence from work, while accidents with serious consequences are accidents involving more than six months’ absence from work. 6 The calculation of hours worked for the employees is made by taking as reference the hours resulting from the paycheck. 7 The calculation of hours worked for outside workers (interns) was made by estimation, multiplying the total number of days worked by 8 working hours per day. 5

The reporting standard used (GRI 305: Emissions 2016) provides two different emission calculation approaches for Scope 2: “Location-based” and “Market-based”. The “Location-based” approach is based on average emission factors related to energy generation for well-defined geographical boundaries, including local, sub-national or national boundaries. The “Market-based” approach is based on the emissions of GHG emitted from the suppliers of energy from which the organization purchases energy, through a contract

10 Water consumption measures water used by an organization that is no longer usable by the ecosystem or the local community in the reporting period. The water consumption is not subject to monitoring by the Company but is estimated by subtracting the total discharge from the total withdrawal for the reference year. 11 This company waste is classified as category R13 (storage for recovery): it is mainly metals (non-hazardous) and batteries and neon (hazardous). All recovery activities are managed by a third-party organization. 12 This company waste is classified as categories D9 (Chemical Physical Treatment), D13 (Pretreatment of Liquid Waste) and D15 (Preliminary Storage). All disposal activities are managed by a third party outside the organization.
