A WORD FROM OUR CEO This is our second CSRD sustainability report, and another important step in Tom&Co’s transformation. Our long-standing passion for animals, shared with our customers and our community, continues to guide everything we do. Over the past year, it has shaped how we strengthened our commitments, sharpened our priorities, and embedded sustainability more deeply into our daily operations, from logistics and packaging to services and governance. Our efforts start to translate into first results, with meaningful impact. The following achievements deserve particular mention: ŀ
Smarter logistics: we relocated our main warehouse to a site that significantly reduces transport kilometres, a move completed in the first half of 2026.
ŀ
Less paper: we ended the general distribution of leaflets in mailboxes and moved this key marketing platform to digital.
ŀ
More efficient stores: a renovation programme and stricter standards for new stores are steadily improving the energy efficiency of our network.
ŀ
Better packaging: the switch to more recyclable packaging for our own brands is well underway.
ŀ
Fleet electrification: launched in 2025, this programme is on track to make 80% of our Belgian company cars fully electric by the end of 2026.
We are fully aware that our transition is still unfolding. Some KPIs could not yet be collected reliably and are therefore not included in this edition, and several targets we set ourselves proved beyond reach this year. We report this openly, as consistent and impactful change requests time, collaboration, and continuous learning. We remain committed to transparency and constructive dialogue as we align our operations with the evolving expectations from our customers, partners, regulators, and society at large. Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our teams, franchise partners, suppliers, and customers. Their engagement and shared commitment make this progress possible.

This document outlines Tom&Co’s commitment to sustainability, aligned with the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and its associated standards (ESRS). It also includes information on Tom&Co’s progress regarding the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on five priority SDGs.

e-commerce activities and the Barq entity (including the online platforms Pharmapets & Vetostore). Given that franchised stores represent a significant part of Tom&Co’s operations — accounting for over 50% of the company’s total network — a distinction was made, where relevant, between initiatives implemented in company-owned stores and those in franchised stores. Key performance indicators (KPIs) related to various sustainability issues were also differentiated accordingly, when appropriate, to ensure a more accurate representation. The reporting period covers January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. The sustainability statement covers both the upstream value chain and downstream business relationships associated with the direct use of its products. For further details, refer to the sections: «Strategy, Business Model, Values and Value Chain.»
DISCLOSURES RELATED TO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES
GOVERNANCE
Our carbon footprint assessment for the year 2025 corrects some errors found in the 2023 version, namely: ŀ
Emission factor for chicken feed updated from 3.17 to 0.5 following an in-depth assessment of our main suppliers’ emissions per raw material
ŀ
Addition of emission factors for inputs with limited information that were previously mistakenly ignored
ŀ
2023 carbon assessment was missing the trips made by freelances working for Tom&Co
ŀ
Select mistakes in accounting of fixed assets were also corrected in this version
Additional errors were found in the report based on year 2024, namely: ŀ
Customer NPS methodology by our data supplier has changed since previous report, data in this document reflect new methodology for all years displayed and may not match last year’s report
ŀ
Number of bulk references in section “product lifecycle management” was mentioned to be 12 for birds, 6 for rodents and 46 for dog. These number were likely not 100% correct and are corrected in this version with the 2025 central assortment only (see section Product Lifecycle management)
TIME HORIZONS The time horizons follow the definitions provided by the CSRD standard. The short term corresponds to one year. Medium-term covers two to five years. Long-term exceeds five years.
VALUE CHAIN ESTIMATIONS
This is Tom&Co’s second report according to the CSRD and ESRS standards. To comply with these standards, Tom&Co relied on the official guidelines provided by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), particularly Implementation Guidance 3 (IG-3). Only data points identified as essential through a double materiality assessment and deemed mandatory are included. Optional data is not featured in the report.

To ensure effective oversight, sustainability and ESG matters are addressed at the executive committee level. The executive committee was itself advised by an external firm specialized in ESG reporting in 2024 and first half of 2025 to set up the initial governance. Once the topics have been identified, responsibilities are divided as follows: for each material sustainability issue, Tom&Co has appointed a «topic owner.» This person is responsible for gathering data related to the specific issue. The «topic owner» may be a member of the executive committee or an employee with the necessary expertise. In addition to the «topic owner”, Tom&Co has also designated a responsible person from the executive committee for each key sustainability issue. This person is responsible for ensuring that data collection is followed up. Each issue is reviewed and updated at least once a year.

In 2025, sustainability issues were not reviewed by an audit committee. There is currently no procedure involving the Board of Directors or shareholders in the definition of sustainability issues. Only members of the Executive Committee have been involved in identifying sustainability issues. The members of the Executive Committee feel that they have sufficient knowledge on sustainable development issues.
INCENTIVE SYSTEM In 2025, no remuneration system linked to achieving sustainability objectives was in place for any governance body. There are currently no plans to establish such a system in the medium term. The company prefers to focus first on monitoring and improving its sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities.

ESG STRATEGY
BUSINESS MODEL, VALUE CHAIN AND STRATEGY BUSINESS MODEL Tom&Co is a Belgian pet specialty retailer founded in 1991 by a food distribution group. Over the past 30 years, Tom&Co has continuously evolved and specialized, expanding its product range, developing own brands with in-house recipes, offering an increasing number of services, and building strong partnerships with associations and experts. Their significant product groups include pet (fish, rabbit, birds, rodents), pet food, accessories, and supplies. Additionally, Tom&Co offers professional advice to pet owners through their specialist staff, with animal welfare at the core of its business. Today, Tom&Co is reinforcing the store concept as a meeting and sharing space, bringing together a community of passionate pet owners. In 2025, the company operated 50 integrated stores and 145 franchised stores, located in France, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as 3 online platforms: Tomandco.com, Vetostore, Pharmapets and is active on marketplaces. Tom&Co’s headquarters are based in Belgium, and the retail network is served via a logistics hub in Willebroek for the stores and a hub in Waregem for the online business. As of December 31, 2025, the company reported an annual revenue of €331 million and employed 395 people. In May 2022, Verlinvest acquired a majority stake in Tom&Co, a move that underscores its growth and prominence in the pet retail industry. Tom&Co’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has solidified its position as a trusted provider in the pet care market. With a focus on expanding their product offerings and services, the company continues to cater to the evolving needs of pet owners in its key markets.

VALUE CHAIN
Tom&Co operates within a value chain, covering various stages from sourcing to retail sales. The company’s primary product offerings are divided into two main categories: food and non-food products. Some of these products are from Tom&Co’s own-brand range, while others come from suppliers (“national brands”). Food products originate mainly from agricultural sources, including meat, cereals, vegetables, and other raw ingredients essential for animal nutrition. These products are carefully sourced to ensure quality, nutrition, and safety standards for pets. Non-food products, such as accessories, bedding, toys, and hygiene products, are predominantly manufactured using diverse raw materials, including plastics, textiles, metals, and wood. Customers of Tom&Co have the option to purchase a wide range of items, including pets, pet food, and accessories. Purchases can be made through two primary channels: in-store at physical retail locations and online via e-commerce platforms. Tom&Co’s brick-and-mortar stores offer customers direct interaction with products and animals, as well as personalized advice from trained staff. The company’s e-commerce presence allows customers convenience through home delivery and click & collect services. Logistics between stores/ customers and warehouses rely predominantly on road transportation, with trucks regularly moving products between distribution centers and retail locations or end customers’ homes (e-Commerce). Regarding sustainability, several critical challenges arise within Tom&Co’s value chain. Agricultural sourcing poses significant environmental impacts, such as biodiversity loss, water consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Raw material extraction for non-food products also contributes to environmental strain, particularly concerning resource depletion and pollution. Transportation between warehouses
and stores/ customers generates emissions contributing to air pollution and climate change. Lastly, the packaging used for products presents sustainability concerns related to waste generation, recyclability, and resource use. For own brand products, Tom&Co has control over specifications and sourcing and can directly apply sustainability initiatives. For the other products, Tom&Co leads a permanent dialogue with national brands around sustainability issues, inviting them to adopt best market practices and enhance their sustainability standards.

THREE STRATEGIC SUSTAINABILITY THEMES TO FOSTER FUTURE BUSINESS RESILIENCE: PEOPLE, PETS AND OUR SHARED PLANET Our strategic directions in these 3 themes remains in line with our 2024 vision.
PEOPLE
PETS
OUR SHARED PLANET
Employees well-being is fundamental to Tom&Co’s success, as competent and motivated employees directly improve customer experience and loyalty. Therefore, Tom&Co invests in regular training programs- namely with a full review of our onboarding & expert trainings launched end of 2025-, promotes fair employment practices and guarantees safe working conditions. These initiatives are in line with SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 3 (good health and well-being).
Animal welfare is one of Tom&Co’s main areas of work. Tom&Co has been proactive in this field for over 30 years. The company follows animal welfare standards. It trains its staff in animal care. It ensures that its animal suppliers adopt ethical practices. Tom&Co is also in close partnership with animal welfare organizations to support and advocate for animal welfare beyond the scope of its organization. This commitment is in line with SDG 15 (Life on Earth) and is essential to maintaining customer trust, ensuring the health and safety of animals and reinforcing the integrity of the Tom&Co brand.
Tom&Co recognizes that its activities, notably procurement and transport, have an impact on the environment, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The company is pursuing strategies to reduce this impact namely by challenging suppliers, optimizing logistics and improving the energy efficiency of its buildings. These initiatives are in line with SDG 13 (Climate Action). In addition, given the wide range of pet products, from food to accessories, Tom&Co is working on limiting the amount and the environmental impact of the packaging used, namely driving higher recyclability of the packaging used for its own brands This approach is in line with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and helps to alleviate problems such as resource depletion, pollution and waste.
These strategic priorities demonstrate Tom&Co’s longstanding commitment to responsible business practices and sustainability, aligning closely with evolving market expectations and consumer values.

ENGAGEMENT WITH STAKEHOLDERS At Tom&Co, listening to and collaborating with stakeholders is essential. Their feedback helps the company move forward towards common goals. For the preparation of our first sustainability report concerning the year 2024, the executive committee identified all of Tom&Co’s stakeholders. Key stakeholder groups include employees (franchises and integrated stores), shareholders and board members, customers, suppliers (own brand and national brand), live animal suppliers, producers, NGOs, banks and insurance entities, professional authorities, logistics providers, media. Seven different types of questionnaires were distributed. These were tailored according to the audience and language. ŀ

Energy management
Focus on renewable energy usage and improving energy efficiency in buildings and stores. Suggestion to install photovoltaic panels at franchised locations.
Employee health and wellbeing
Communication between staff, stores and head office highlighted as key improvement area. A healthy working environment is needed to retain and develop all staff.
Governance
Communication improvement with both employees and customers about sustainability initiatives. Key to avoid "greenwashing" and focus on honest and transparent reporting.
Working conditions for franchises
Inclusion of franchised stores in sustainability and employee policies. Suggestion to provide tools and guidance to franchisees for better alignment with ESG goals.
Responsible marketing
Recommendation to promote local sourcing and collaboration with sustainability-focused brands. Use of visuals and simple language for customer communication about ESG efforts.
Stakeholder consultation has allowed for prioritization of certain sustainability issues over others. This prioritization is visually represented in the dual materiality matrix by bubbles of varying sizes. For more details, see the sections “Double Materiality Analysis”. Tom&Co intends to re-iterate on the consultation process every 5 years.

MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES DOUBLE MATERIALITY ANALYSIS In 2024, Tom&Co conducted its first double materiality assessment. This framework is used by companies subject to the CSRD to identify so-called «material» issues—those which must be disclosed. Double materiality assessment considers two perspectives: financial materiality and impact materiality. Financial materiality reflects how ESG issues affect the company’s financial performance, while impact materiality assesses how the company’s activities influence ESG topics.
Phase I : Understanding the business model and value chain – GRI 102.2 and GRI 102.9 The first step to identifying and assessing significant impacts, risks, and opportunities for Tom&Co involves mapping and understanding its business model and value chain. Key resources and stakeholders were thus mapped. This exercise helps define the scope for the double materiality assessment. For more details, see the section «Strategy, Business Model, and Value Chain.

IMPACT MATERIALITY
FINANCIAL MATERIALITY
Tom&Co’s impacts were identified during a half-day workshop held at the organization’s headquarters, attended by a part of the working group (see Annexes A). Participants asked to evaluate environmental, social, and governance impacts.
Tom&Co’s financial risks and opportunities were identified during another half-day workshop at the organization’s headquarters, conducted on the same day as the impact workshop and involving the executive committee. The objective of this workshop was to identify the financial risks and opportunities linked to each impact or, more broadly, each sustainability issue.
The external organization supporting the process guided the executive committee in identifying both positive and negative impacts in line with the CSRD and the ESRS thematic standards. Each impact identified was reviewed and discussed by the groups using the question, «Is this a consequence of our activities?» If an impact was deemed relevant to Tom&Co’s activities, the group specified:
Finally, a plenary discussion was held to validate the identified risks and opportunities.
ŀ
Whether it concerned the organization’s own operations or its value chain,
ŀ
Whether it was an actual or potential impact,

A brief description of the impact.
As each impact relates to a sustainability topic, the identified impacts served as a foundation to define Tom&Co’s sustainability issues. A plenary discussion then validated the impacts, the associated issues, and their aggregation or disaggregation.
Phase II : Identification of impacts, risks and opportunities This phase was conducted in two parts: the identification of ESG impacts (impact materiality) and the identification of financial risks and opportunities (financial materiality). An impact is defined as an actual or potential consequence of an organization’s actions on people and/or the environment, which can be either positive or negative. A risk represents a potential threat to financial performance, while an opportunity means a potential benefit for financial performance.

APPENDIX
Scope
Phase III : Identification of material issues through scoring impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) From the list of identified issues, the next step is to determine which ones are material. To achieve this, we applied the ESRS 1 criteria in our analysis. These criteria include, for impacts: scope, scale, remediability, and likelihood, as well as the probability and magnitude of financial effects for risks and opportunities. The table below explains how each impact, risk and opportunity is scored. The CSRD does not specify the scale to be used for these evaluations. Therefore, Tom&Co chose internationally recognized standards from the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs).

APPENDIX
The 14 sustainability issues identified by Tom&Co following the three workshops are as follows:
ESG Topics
Description
Climate action
Tom&Co's activities generate greenhouse gases: during production, transport, sales in stores, etc. Climate risks also threaten the company's supply chain (e.g. shortages or price rises linked to agricultural losses) and store traffic (e.g. low customer numbers during periods of extreme heat). By investing in its climate strategy, Tom&Co should be able to play its part and strengthen its resilience.
Energy management
The energy requirements associated with running shops are significant, especially when the buildings are not very efficient or when live animals are sold. Given that Tom&Co has close to 200 shops, reducing energy consumption is a strategic environmental objective. Furthermore, reducing energy costs has a direct impact on operating margins and therefore the financial health and investment capacity of shops.
Transport & Logistics
Downstream Tom&Co supplies close to 200 shops in the Benelux and France every week. A large quantity of parcels is sent to e-commerce customers every year and this number keeps on growing. Upstream, the company procures its supplies in Europe and globally. Supply chain management is one of its core businesses, and making transport more sustainable is an important way of reducing its environmental footprint.
Water management
The production of the raw materials used by Tom&Co (agricultural products, meat, cereals, textiles, etc.) represents a significant consumer of fresh water and a source of water pollution. The shops in the distribution chain require significant quantities of water, for example for the care of aquatic animals or for the dog wash. The products and services sold by Tom&Co have the potential to contribute to water pollution (shampoos, anti-parasites, textile care, etc.).
Impact on nature and biodiversity
In the context of an unsustainable supply chain, the majority of raw materials (agricultural products, meat, cereals, textiles, etc.) used to manufacture Tom&Co products have an adverse impact on the environment, contributing additionally to biodiversity loss. At the operational level, Tom&Co's business model is based on a large logistics network and a significant number of points of sale, which has resulted in the artificialization of land and thus on biodiversity loss.
Product lifecycle management
In Belgium, 60% of households welcome a pet. The environmental impact of pet parenting is significant and cannot be overlooked. Tom&Co has a responsibility to play its part in making pet parenting sustainable through its range of products and services. This entails controlling and reducing the environmental impact of products at every stage of their life cycle, from design to end-of-life, while integrating the principles of the circular economy into the core of our offering.
Waste management
Tom&Co's operations result in waste, primarily associated with logistics and in-store sales. It is essential that the company takes action to reduce waste at the source, as well as to sort it as selectively as possible. The reduction of waste, particularly residual waste, will also result in a reduction of associated costs.
Sustainable packaging
The retail sector is a significant consumer of materials, particularly plastics, for packaging purposes. Tom&Co can contribute to decreasing this impact by identifying and eliminating any over-packaging practices that may contribute to environmental impact, as well as developing packaging solutions with a reduced environmental footprint.
Safety, health, and well-being
Staff are exposed to health risks (ergonomics, handling of heavy loads, etc.). Working conditions can be difficult due to staff shortages, customer attitudes and the challenge of balancing work and personal life in the retail sector. Tom&Co is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all its employees. A happy and healthy workforce is also a competitive advantage for the company. Integrated stores must also apply high working conditions standards and ensure legal compliance. In fact, as they represent the brand, any scandal or legal action in this area would have a negative impact on the brand's image.
Accessibility of products and services
Tom&Co wants to guarantee geographical accessibility, which means having outlets that are well located and, where possible, accessible by low-carbon transport. The shops and website should also be accessible to people with handicap. Finally, improving the affordability of products and services will enable more vulnerable pet owners to benefit from quality products and provide adequate care for their pets.
Animal Welfare
As a pet specialty retailer, Tom&Co has a duty to promote and improve practices relating to the welfare and respect of animals, both in its own activities and upstream, in its supply chain, and downstream, among pet parents. The benefits of companion animals for mental, social and physical health, as well as emotional and psychological development, have been proven. In response, Tom&Co wants to contribute to a better understanding of animal welfare and to promote better practices in society. The fight against the abandonment of pets is also a key issue for a pet specialty retailer. To this end, the company positions itself as a privileged partner of the authorities on issues of animal welfare and respect and works with associations.
Ethics and Governance
Tom&Co wants to ensure transparent, fair and responsible governance. This means complying with the law, preventing and actively combating corruption and honoring commitments. Good governance also includes accountability, effective risk management and honest communication with employees, customers and partners. Tom&Co must also ensure that its suppliers and partners follow the same principles.
Partnerships
Tom&Co's ecosystem is made up of many partnerships, whether in terms of supply, logistics, distribution of products and services or its role in promoting animal welfare. Maintaining its current partnerships through transparency and enhanced dialogue, and forging new ones, means improving the company's resilience and ability to fully implement its strategy. These partnerships will facilitate industry-wide changes, driving the adoption of more sustainable practices.
Responsible marketing
The regulatory context is tending to demand ever higher levels of consumer information and respect for privacy. Tom&Co is part of this trend, whether in terms of data protection or avoiding greenwashing practices. Responsible marketing must also enable customers to choose the most sustainable products that are best suited to the well-being and health of their animals.
This assessment is intended to be repeated every 3 years to ensure consistency with the recent realities of the business.

Real negative impact
Product distribution involves significant energy consumption in stores, exacerbated by the poor performance of some buildings and the sale of live animals (aquarium feed, especially for tropical fish, vivariums, air-conditioning requirements, etc.), the digital footprint (notably e-commerce), logistics to supply stores and deliver e-commerce customers, and staff and customer mobility. Air-conditioning systems contain powerful GHGs.
Value Chain
Real negative impact
Intensive agriculture, forestry and fishing are responsible for significant GHG emissions, as is the extraction of raw materials for the manufacture of non-food products. Global sourcing, involving long-distance transport, also generates significant GHG emissions.
Value Chain
Real negative impact
Surface ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant produced in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight and chemical precursors, the main ones being nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mainly from transport and industrial activities. It is harmful to both the environment and human health. Tropospheric ozone is formed, among other things, by pollutant emissions linked to road freight (fossil fuels). It is a GHG whose impact on the climate is more localized, due to its short atmospheric lifetime, but powerful.
Value Chain
Potential positive impact
The production of cereals for animal feed requires intensive farming practices. Adopting more sustainable practices will enable the entire value chain to reduce its impact on biodiversity and climate change.
Opportunity
Working on climate change mitigation could lead to cost reductions. These include energy, relocation of logistics costs, the end of live pets in a selection of stores , cheaper click & collect, and cross-selling with e-Commerce platforms.

STRATEGY Here are the three climate risks identified by Tom&Co. Two are physical risks and one is transitional risk. Transitional risk ŀ
The introduction of carbon tax reduces margins – medium term
TRANSITION PLAN AND CARBON FOOTPRINT RESULTS Tom&Co is committed to playing its part in contributing to a low-carbon economy. Tom&Co updated its carbon footprint assessment for the year 2025, resulting in total emissions of 102 820 tCO₂e (tons of carbon dioxide equivalent), based on the Méthode Bilan Carbone®. The assessment also complies with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and covers the entire company, including both integrated stores and franchises. Key sources of improvement vs 2023 carbon footprint include: ŀ
Error corrections (see “ESG strategy” section for details), accounting for ~11 tCO2eq improvements
ŀ
Car fleet improvements (at Tom&Co and visitor’s cars), accounting for ~7t improvements, including: Tom&Co switching to an electric car fleet, customers having more economical cars and customers having to travel less km on average due to expansion
Physical risks ŀ
Financial risks arising from storms and floods causing damage to stores - long term
ŀ
Loss of sales because customers don’t come to the store during heatwaves – long term
In 2025, Tom&Co has carried out, with the help of external consultants, a study on carbon footprint reduction scenarios. The results are included in the transition plan described below.
22
ŀ
Stop of the paper folder distribution, accounting for ~1t improvement
In line with its business model, the main source of emissions is the purchase of goods and services, accounting for 63% of the company’s global footprint. This includes products for sale, as well as goods and services supporting internal operations. The second-largest source of emissions is travel, contributing to 22% of global emissions and comprising employee commuting, business travel, and travel by visitors
and customers, namely given the high number of clients visiting Tom&Co’s physical stores. Freight ranks third, contributing to approximately 7% of global emissions. These emissions primarily result from the transportation of goods from suppliers to logistics hubs and stores. Carbon footprint reduction scenario’s assessed in 2025 (over year 2023 carbon footprint data) show opportunity to reach 83 111 t CO2e by 2030. Main levers include (excluding growth impact and corrections): ŀ
Logistics footprint reduction:
—
Change of warehouse location (planned in 2026) reducing overall distance travelled for suppliers to hub and hub to stores (-532 tCO2e)
—
Change of truck fleet (longer term) to more sustainable options for both our suppliers and our own fleet (-3214 tCO2e)
ŀ
Reduction of customers km travelled due to opening of new, closer to them, stores (-1396 tCO2e)
ŀ
Energy usage optimization in store through LED usage, replacement of gas heaters by electric heat pumps, PV panel installation etc. (-621 tCO2e)
ŀ
Reduction of company cars emissions mainly driven by switch to electric cars and implementation of a mobility budget (-291 tCO2e)

IN THE FUTURE
Tom&Co has developed its first carbon footprint reduction scenarios, marking an important step in building a way towards a lower footprint. By integrating sustainability into its operations, the company aims to not only contribute to global climate action but also enhance its resilience.
Regarding electrification, Tom&Co aims for 100% of its own fleet to be electric by 2029 in Belgium, and 80% by end of 2026. The 2026 objective is almost met via 2025 fleet changes made. This is supported by increasing the number of electric charging station at the HQ from 1 to 10 by 2026. In France, hybrid vehicles will be maintained longer given longer distances to be travelled.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS In 2025, Tom&Co has selected a new logistics partner that will enable the company to reduce total km travelled in its supply chain by an estimated 5-15%. At the same time, Tom&Co has started transitioning to electric vehicles for its employees, recognizing the crucial role of decarbonizing the fleet in reducing emissions.
To ensure continued progress, Tom&Co is committed to conducting an annual assessment of its carbon footprint. This ongoing assessment will enable the company to set increasingly ambitious emission reduction targets and refine its global climate strategy.

POLICIES The company is committed to managing energy responsibly across all its operations by reducing energy consumption, improving efficiency, and utilizing renewable energy sources where feasible. Through this commitment, Tom&Co aims to minimize its carbon footprint, contribute to global sustainability goals, and enhance operational performance. By optimizing energy use, the company not only reduces costs and environmental impact but also ensures long-term resilience in the face of evolving climate regulations and energy market fluctuations.
ACTIONS & TARGETS In Belgium, all integrated stores use green electricity contracts with Engie, a requirement that also applies to new franchised stores, with existing franchisees encouraged to follow. 2 integrated stores in Belgium and 1 in France are equipped with photovoltaic panels, and discussions with landlords have been started to install more in integrated stores in Belgium and France. However, many of the stores’ configuration will not allow for the placement of panels and different energy initiatives will have to be undertaken. The Pharmapets HQ located in Waregem and containing Tom&Co’s eCommerce warehouse is also equipped with photovoltaic panels. 96% of integrated stores in France and 83% in Belgium already operate on LED lighting. In Belgium, single-tariff meters are being replaced by digital meters, allowing automatic management of the dual tariff. The aim is to finalize this switch by end of 2026. At the same time, the last seven integrated stores in France still on the yellow tariff are being switched to the blue tariff, a more economical electricity tariff. The aim is to transfer all stores that can be transferred by end of 2026. 2-3 stores will remain on the yellow tariff given higher power requirements. To reduce energy consumption, franchisees have been informed about energy-saving solutions, including their implementation and cost benefits. Tom&Co has also reduced the number of live animal installations in new store openings. The number of installations per store has been reduced to two, compared to three to five in the past. In addition, the central plant islands have been replaced by more energy-efficient wall displays.

IN THE FUTURE
Tom&Co is studying remote-controlled heating systems for better temperature management, with tests starting in French integrated stores. By 2027, the heating of all integrated stores will be managed centrally from the head office, ensuring greater efficiency and lower energy consumption. In terms of electricity, all integrated stores will switch to LED lighting by end of 2027, which requires a modification in 5 stores. Franchisees in Belgium will also benefit from attractive pricing options for LED installations. In addition, Tom&Co will offer solutions for remaining integrated stores heated with gas (5) to switch to electric climatization. Both the LED lighting and the central heating ambitions were initially set for end of 2026 but were delayed for budget reasons.

The company ensures full compliance with regulations to promote the sustainable use of this vital resource. These efforts support both environmental responsibility and high-quality pet care.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS Tom&Co has taken steps to monitor and improve water efficiency in its stores. As many sites are in older buildings, the company has inspected the facilities to detect and resolve potential issues. 100% of alerts regarding excessive water consumption in 2025 have been investigated and resolved in Belgium and France. To avoid unnecessary water loss, “high-risk” products are checked regularly. These include dog shower heads and water valves in aquariums. Properly functioning systems reduce waste and improve water use. Tom&Co has also started doing regular maintenance of the dog wash facilities to ensure no unnoticed water loss. In France, Tom&Co has started to phase out osmosis systems used to filter aquarium water. These systems are expensive and waste large amounts of water. They will no longer be installed in new stores and will be phased out in existing stores. Stores without osmosis systems now recover 4 m³ of water every three days compared to stores with osmosis systems. In Belgium, no osmosis systems are used. The French integrated stores have also been equipped with Aquabion® systems in 2025. These systems combat limescale & corrosion, both of which are large contributors to water over-consumption.

Finally, in 2025, Tom&Co has expanded its water management efforts beyond its own operations by collaborating with its suppliers. A survey has been sent to Tom&Co’s top 8 suppliers. 5 responses were received mostly highlighting a limited water usage and water concern amongst our key suppliers (own brand). None of the suppliers who provided an answer have a specific water management policy as they all have limited water needs (mostly dry product manufacturing. Water is used for cleaning materials or for minor components of the manufactured products). When possible, they make use of natural water (river or bottom water) or water coming from rains. Main use for water is happening further downstream, at production level. Given this limited relevancy to Tom&Co’s direct suppliers and the limited potential impact the company can have on suppliers further downstream, Tom&Co will not send again this questionnaire in 2026, enabling the company to focus on more material matters.

Tom&Co aims to source products sustainably and reduce habitat disruption across its operations. Many pet products rely on natural resources, making responsible sourcing a priority.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS – GRI 304.2 Tom&Co recognises the importance of protecting biodiversity and natural ecosystems and is constantly working to improve its assortment to cater to local biodiversity, with specific products namely for wild birds, insects, hedgehogs, etc.
IN THE FUTURE Tom&Co wants to increase its commitment to sustainability certifications. The company is exploring options for certified cardboard, palm oil and sustainable fishing practices, with the long-term goal of working exclusively with certified raw materials. In addition, Tom&Co is looking into wood (FSC) and organic cotton certification, ensuring that products comply with responsible sourcing standards.

ESG STRATEGY
POLICIES The company is committed to managing the entire life cycle of its products responsibly, from design and sourcing to production, distribution, and end-of-life. Many pet products, from food packaging to accessories and care items, have a direct impact on resource consumption and waste generation. Managing their life cycle responsibly helps reduce landfill waste, lower carbon emissions, and promote a circular economy. To achieve this, Tom&Co aims to minimize environmental impact by prioritizing sustainable materials, reducing waste, and encouraging recycling or reuse wherever possible.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS Bulk sales are key, with 100% of stores offering them. Most of the time, these bulk foods are wild bird food, rodent food or dog treats (100% of stores sell them). In total, the number of bulk references offered by Tom&Co per type of animal is: birds, 16; rodents, 4; dogs, 34 snacks.

products that are not managed centrally. These values as well as the kilos sold in KPI’s represent therefore the value tracked centrally only. For non-food products, Tom&Co has identified that the main raw materials used are metal, fabric/textile, cardboard, wood and plastic, often combined in different ways. However, no data is currently available on the percentage of certified raw materials. While it is not always possible to use 100% recycled raw materials in its products, the company wants to set future targets for responsible sourcing.
IN THE FUTURE For each of its own-brand food products, Tom&Co aims to establish a sourcing specification document by 2027. This will define the criteria for raw material certification, focusing mainly on proteins and oils, and possibly extending to fish and meat sourcing. The company will use this document to determine the % of certified raw materials in its own brand food products.
GOVERNANCE
APPENDIX
For its own-brand non-food products, Tom&Co will request technical data sheets from suppliers to determine the percentage of recycled content in materials such as cotton and plastic. Based on this information, the company will set specific targets by 2027 to increase the recycled content of its products and will introduce a performance indicator that measures the percentage of certified raw materials in its own-brand products. However, the company acknowledges that achieving 100% certification is not realistic, as some non-recyclable raw materials are used in very small quantities. The timeline for this document & targets has been revised vs previous report to reflect team capacity challenges. In the medium term, Tom&Co also aims to continue to increase its bulk product offering and the space in store dedicated to it.

IN THE FUTURE
Tom&Co is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its own-brand packaging by prioritizing sustainable materials and designs. To address this, Tom&Co aims to minimize waste, use recycled and recyclable materials whenever possible, and reduce overall packaging volume. The company is also committed to influencing the broader industry, encouraging national brands to follow the same sustainability guidelines.
Tom&Co has set clear sustainability targets for the coming years. By 2029, 100% of its own-brand packaging (food and non-food) will be recyclable and all cardboard used will be FSC certified.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS
By 2026 also, Tom&Co will review the content of FSC certified cardboard in its own brand packaging.
Tom&Co has made significant progress in analyzing and improving its own brand packaging. A detailed internal study was conducted in 2024 to assess the recyclability of food packaging, and followed with a detailed study of the nonfood packaging in 2025, giving a full picture of the own brand packaging. The study also examined product data sheets to determine the percentage of recyclable materials used. Currently, 69% of Tom&Co’s own-brand food packaging is recyclable. Materials such as 100% virgin cardboard, plastic (PE/PP), metal, aluminum and tetra packs are used. However, only 6% of its own-brand food packaging is made from recycled materials. In metal-based packaging (e.g. cat and dog food cans & aluminium), this number goes up to 25%. Over the whole of 2025, 15% of food product references have been converted to recyclable packaging, namely driven by the launch of GOOD dog & cat kibbles. No survey has yet been conducted on the recyclability of national brand packaging. In 2025, the company has started identifying the percentage of recyclable and recycled packaging in its own brand nonfood categories. The results of this exercise show 80% of recyclable materials (for plastic packaging, this is 99%) and 18% of recycled materials.
By 2026, the company aims to conduct an assessment of the share of national brands food products that use recycled or recyclable to better understand their impact.

Animal Welfare
Risks of fines, lawsuits, scandals, and animal turnover.
Tom&Co holds the highest standard in terms of animal welfare in-store, ensuring all stores comply with the strictest regional or national regulations. Tom&Co offers advanced & officially recognized animal welfare training to limit this risk.
Reduced sales: if customers don't have an adoption certificate, they can't adopt an animal.
Tom&Co has proactively set up separate requirements on animal adoption (e.g., need to fill in forms, right for store staff to refuse selling animals if they judge the living situation will not be appropriate), limiting the impact of additional regulations going in that direction
POLICIES Since Tom&Co sells animals as well as food and non-food products for them, animal welfare is at the heart of its concerns. That is why Tom&Co supports pet parents with practical advice to ensure animal well-being at every stage of life. This commitment extends across the company’s value chain, promoting responsible and sustainable practices downstream and supporting animal shelters and pet wellbeing overall.
ACTION AND TARGETS In 2025, Tom&Co has continued implementing and developing several actions in its stores, with its employees, suppliers and with shelters to act on animal welfare.
Tom&Co is committed to keeping animals in stores for as little time as possible, avoiding overcrowding and ensuring good living conditions. From a legal point of view, all stores adhere to quarterly veterinary visits (except if the store has only fish, an annual check is then foreseen). When an animal is sick, a veterinarian is called immediately. In addition, 100% of the animals sold, with the exception of fish, come from BENELUX or neighboring countries. Audits are made in-store regularly to ensure conditions are respected. In 2025, all Belgian stores were audited, a
significant jump from 2024. In France, these audits will be put in place by 2026 for integrated stores first. Since 2021, a transfer certificate has been introduced to ensure that customers who purchase an animal have the necessary equipment to care for it. In 2025, 100% of animals sold (except fish) leave the store with this certificate. If a Tom&Co employee considers that the well-being of an animal is threatened, he has the right to refuse the sale. Concerning fish, the certificate is not systematic, but the seller can request it if he has doubts about the future conditions of keeping the fish.
In stores
Aware of the differences in animal welfare legislation depending on the regions of Belgium, Tom&Co has chosen to apply the strictest standards in all its stores since 2023. For example, rabbits are now kept in closed adapted parks instead of cages and betta fish receive 10 L of water, even in regions where only 5 L is required. Additionally, as certain animals may or may not be sold depending on the region (e.g. certain type of turtles), Tom&Co has developed its own «Positive Animal List» (see annexes B), identifying species that they believe can live in captivity. The condition for an animal not on this list to be sold in a designated store is that a recognized expert on that animal is employed in the store. Tom&Co has also taken steps to improve the selection of animal welfare products. For example, they stopped selling cages deemed too small (based on scientific research) and removed electric anti-bark collars from their product line before legislation banned it.

At suppliers
In order to maintain high standards, the largest suppliers are visited each year to verify compliance with specifications, particularly in terms of traceability and animal care conditions.
Certified training in animal welfare
To guarantee high standards of care, Tom&Co has developed a certified training, recognized by Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia. There are also two days of face-to-face training (after the 5th and 9th modules) and a final exam in an open course format. The complete training includes 50 hours of e-learning, and the diploma, once obtained, is valid for life. In 2025, 21 additional people obtained their certification, for a total of 179 certified employees. As a result, 52% of Belgian integrated stores have at least one person that has the certification (vs 44% in 2024). Since 2024, Tom&Co has decided to make module 1 (“Ethics, responsibility and commitment of Tom&Co”) compulsory for all employees. This module covers key topics such as animal welfare principles, commitment to animals and responsible communication (e.g. no posting photos of animals in store on social media in order to avoid impulsive purchases and thus reduce abandonment; train them to educate clients with the «pet parent guide”). The aim was for 100% of Tom&Co staff to be trained in this module by the end of 2025. However, the length of the training has made this challenging. Tom&Co is now working on a more dedicated module that is relevant for each person’s responsibilities, with the objective that 90% of staff is trained by end of 2026.
Supporting animal shelters
IN THE FUTURE
Tom&Co also contributes to animal welfare beyond its stores. Each year, the company hosts “Ecuelles du Cœur,” a nationwide fundraising campaign where customers can donate money or pet supplies. Shelters can then use these funds to purchase necessary materials from Tom&Co stores. 100% of Tom&Co stores, including franchises, actively participate in this initiative. In addition to the national “Ecuelles du Coeur” initiative, all integrated stores (and the large majority of franchisees) have partnered with one or more shelters and proactively donate unsold items or support them in another way (for example through in-store communication) – See list of partner shelters in Appendix C. At the Tom&Co warehouses as well, unsold food articles are donated before they expire. Across stores and warehouse donations to shelters, a total of 60.5t of animal food has been donated.
In the future, Tom&Co is committed to continuously push animal welfare as a key value among its employees, customers and broader society. In H1 2026, the company has namely signed the new code of conduct for Invasive Alien Species. Tom&Co is developing an entirely new training platform for its employees to support: ŀ
Ease of use and memorability, increasing the share of staff that is able to follow the training
ŀ
Expand the training to include knowledge on all product categories sold at Tom&Co and how best to advice customers for their pet’s wellbeing
ŀ
Expand general pet wellbeing knowledge.
This platform has become available to store staff in the first half of 2026.

Tom&Co operates in a sector that requires high ethical standards, particularly in areas such as animal welfare, consumer protection, and franchise management. By reinforcing governance practices, the company ensures consistency across all stores, both company-owned and franchised, while also meeting regulatory requirements and reinforcing customer confidence. This approach not only safeguards the company’s reputation but also strengthens its relationships with partners, suppliers, and consumers.
Senior management as well as all staff in the purchasing department signed a declaration on conflict of interest prevention, highlighting the company’s commitment to transparency and integrity.
In addition, Tom&Co is also working on embedding the newly formalized governance in its processes, therefore ensuring the new principles are respected.
In 2025, a company-wide employee survey was conducted to assess engagement and gather insights, where strong opportunities for improvements were identified.
The table below outlines the metrics that Tom&Co aims to track in the future regarding ethics and governance issues. One KPI is unavailable this year.
ACTION AND TARGETS
By 2026, 100% of Tom&Co employees in the purchasing department will receive training on conflict of interest prevention and compliance, ensuring ethical decisionmaking throughout the organization.
In 2023 & 2024, Tom&Co has started its path towards a more transparent and safe governance. An specific hacking / cyber-attack insurance was namely contracted in 2023. In addition, Tom&Co has started formalizing its internal governance, defining clearly the rights and responsibilities of its Exco members and employees.

The company supports animal shelters and NGO’s focusing on the link between animals and humans
POLICIES As a market leader, Tom&Co recognizes its responsibility to society and the unique bond between humans and animals. It is well established that animals provide valuable support to humans, just as humans have a duty to care for and protect them. With this in mind, Tom&Co is committed to promoting this relationship, raising awareness, and ensuring that its partnerships reflect these values. Tom&Co collaborates only with organizations that share its commitment to animal welfare, ethical business practices, and social responsibility. Every strategic partnership must deliver real value, support long-term goals, and adhere to the highest ethical, environmental, and social standards.
ACTION AND TARGETS In 2024, Tom&Co strengthened its commitment to animal welfare and community support by expanding its partnerships with shelters and organizations. Currently, 100% of integrated stores have a partnership in place, while the majority of franchise stores also contribute, although Tom&Co does not have the exact percentage. A set of concrete initiatives are set up with these shelters: ŀ
Donation bins in which customers can leave used pet items for shelters, providing direct support to animals in need.
ŀ
Écuelles du Cœur is a program allowing customers to purchase a voucher (2,5€ / 5€ or 10€), which shelters can then exchange for essential pet supplies. This system ensures that donations are tailored to the specific needs of each shelter, maximizing their impact.
ŀ
Donations directly from the warehouse (see section on Waste Management)
In 2025, Tom&Co worked on the fquality of its partnerships by taking stock of existing collaborations and selecting those that have the most impact. This evolution allows the company to focus its resources on quality partnerships, in line with its values. Beyond its support for animal welfare, Tom&Co recognizes the essential role that animals play in human well-being and is committed to highlighting this connection. The company launched a partnership with the Belgian Assistance Dogs Federation in 2025. This association is focused on finding host families to train assistance dogs for people in need, providing these trained dogs for free. The Belgian Assistance Dogs Federation supports all sorts of assistance dogs, for a broad range of conditions such as blindness, motor handicaps, autism, Epilepsia (alert dogs) or even simply social support for the elderly. Through this collaboration, Tom&Co hopes to highlight the positive impact animals have on human life.
In 2025, Tom&Co’s store and franchisees’ staff has also been offered a training on first aid for animals by Anicura, a network of veterinarian clinics. The purpose is for them to be able to react in case of emergency in store.
IN THE FUTURE Tom&Co also aims to find a national organization to support in France, BADF being focused on Belgium. In 2026, Tom&Co will also partner with Youca, an organization that places young talent in stores for a day. The proceeds of this day will support young changemakers in Galicia, the Philippines and Brazil, who work every day towards a more equitable economy.

An increase in sales thanks to the company's commitment as a positive player in the field of animal welfare, in particular by raising owners' awareness of the benefits of adopting a pet.
POLICIES As a market leader in pet care, Tom&Co is committed to delivering truthful, transparent, and responsible marketing of its products and services while prioritizing animal welfare, consumer education, environmental sustainability, and data protection. Given its commitment to animal well-being and ethical business practices, all promotional materials will reflect the company’s values of care, accuracy, and social responsibility, avoiding any messaging that could encourage impulse purchases or misinformation about pet care. Additionally, as digital interactions increase, protecting customer data is essential to maintaining security and upholding privacy standards.
ACTIONS AND TARGETS To curb impulse purchases and reduce pet abandonment, the company has implemented a strict policy prohibiting the publication of photos of animals for sale in store on social media, excluding all live animals promotion and actively promoting adoption.

The regulatory context is tending to demand ever higher levels of consumer information and respect for privacy.

With these restrictions, the company uses its market leader position to promote a healthy pet-human relationship in the broader society. Data protection remains a priority for Tom&Co. The company has implemented essential security measures such as antivirus and anti-spam filtering, firewall protection, secure VPN connections, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and regular server updates. Tom&Co is in the process of reviewing the GDPR compliance of its main consumer data providers (Y2 for the in-store check-out, Magento for eCommerce and Segment for CDP). Segment has already been confirmed to be GDPR compliant, while the other 2 are awaiting confirmation. To further strengthen cybersecurity, Tom&Co started implementing a SIEM/SOC environment in 2025 (implemented as of June 1st 2026), enabling 24/7 proactive monitoring of suspicious activity, with automated alerts and response actions to protect sensitive information.
IN THE FUTURE Moving forward, Tom&Co is exploring ways to improve consumer information about its own brand products. The company will explore how to provide clearer information on ingredient sourcing, such as the origin of ingredients, and the best choices for specific animal breeds (GRI 417.1). Tom&Co will also add to its e-Commerce platforms decision support
technologies such as automated decision trees and AI-based suggestions, helping the customer to make the best choice for their pet. Additionally, Tom&Co is committed to strengthening its support for shelter partners by improving their in-store visibility. The aim is to display in-store signage promoting shelters (shorter term), as well as provide a dedicated communication platform (longer term) where customers can learn more about the animals available for adoption. This initiative is part of the company’s broader mission of responsible pet ownership and animal welfare advocacy.
