Foreword At The Wallfashion House, our primary ambition is clear: to strengthen our position as a leading European, designdriven wall decoration group, delivering innovative, highquality solutions that create value for our customers and end-users. Sustainability is an increasingly integral part of how we pursue that ambition, not as a separate agenda, but as a natural consequence of running a well-managed, forward-looking business. As a European leader in wall decoration, we recognise that our responsibility extends across our entire value chain, from the sourcing of materials to the products we deliver to customers worldwide. While many underlying initiatives have been part of our way of working for years, we now bring them together in a structured, transparent, and professional framework. This report marks an important step in that journey. Built on the principles of the VSME framework, it reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. We do not claim to have all the answers today, but we firmly believe that openly communicating our current position is the only way to build credible progress. Over the past year, we have translated our sustainability priorities into concrete action across six strategic pillars. A key milestone has been the mapping of our corporate carbon footprint, giving us the foundation to define credible reduction targets in the coming years. In parallel, we are accelerating the development of more sustainable

products, with a strong focus on PVC-free solutions and circular alternatives, supported by investments in advanced digital printing technologies that reduce waste and align production more closely with market demand. We are also improving energy efficiency, increasing our use of renewable energy, and advancing our Green Plant of the Future initiative. And we continue to invest in our people, because a skilled, engaged, and safe workforce remains essential to long-term success. We are fully aware that this transition comes with real tradeoffs between performance, cost, and sustainability. We take a pragmatic and phased approach: focusing on continuous improvement, strengthening supplier partnerships, and moving forward together with our customers. Looking ahead, we will continue to sharpen our sustainability ambitions, increase the share of sustainable and circular products, and embed ESG more structurally into our decision-making. We see sustainability as a driver of resilience, competitiveness, and long-term value creation. We look forward to continuing this journey together with our customers, partners, and people, building a Wallfashion House that is as resilient as it is inspiring. We wish you a sustainable read.

Hand sample if analogue, first production runs
To determine colours, textures and designs, we conduct market research through our customers, sales figures, online inspiration channels, exhibitions, fashion, magazines and so on. This way our designers are on trend or even developing a new trend. In the creative phase, designers develop digital designs for the customer (e.g. own collections or exclusives), selected by the customer or internal teams. Following internal validation and customer approval of hand samples, the process transitions to full-scale industrial production, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to environmental and performance criteria. The wallpaper production process begins with the careful selection of responsibly sourced raw materials and qualified suppliers, with a strong focus on sustainability, including the use of FSC-certified substrates. The R&D department defines and optimises technical specifications, evaluates material performance, and ensures compliance with applicable quality and fire retardancy standards through internal and external testing. Rolls are then packaged in optimised and recyclable packaging and stored in energy-efficient warehouses. Smart transport planning and certified logistics partners limit the CO₂ impact in the distribution phase. After delivery, after-sales service provides technical support and complaint analysis, with feedback flowing back to design, production, and purchasing to continuously improve our products and services.
\ 1.2.1 Upstream value chain Raw materials are delivered to The Wallfashion House via road transportation, specifically via trucks from suppliers that are mainly based in the EU. The main raw materials are substrates (which are non-woven or paper-based), PVC, plasticizer, inks, other chemicals and packaging material. The Wallfashion House also consumes energy sources like electricity and natural gas. Some entities, like Holden Decor and Ideco Italia, also sell wallpaper coming from other producers than The Wallfashion House. However, the production process of these products and the facilities are similar to those at The Wallfashion House plants. Wallsupply develops and sells 3D wall panels manufactured by third-party partners. The collection consists of products made from a wide range of materials, including concrete, expanded polystyrene, Asian teak wood, felt, ceramics, and more.
\ 1.2.2 Downstream value chain Finished products are transported to The Wallfashion House’s customers mainly by truck, via transport companies. The Wallfashion House’s customers are located worldwide and include DIY chains, specialised retail chains, independent retailers, editors and D2C.
We don’t add sustainability at the end of the chain. We build it in from the very first idea. 9

Our sustainability strategy
2.1 Double Materiality Analysis & Stakeholder Analysis In 2025, The Wallfashion House conducted a structured double materiality assessment to identify and prioritise
the sustainability topics most relevant to its business and stakeholders. The process followed the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) framework and was built around four core phases: context mapping, identification of relevant sustainability matters and IROs (Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities), assessment of materiality, and final validation.

\ 2.1.1 Context Mapping
\ 2.1.4 Validation of Material Matters
The first step involved defining the scope of the assessment, which covered The Wallfashion House’s direct operations as well as upstream and downstream value chain partners. This included key suppliers, key-stakeholders, and clients across various geographies. A stakeholder analysis was also conducted to identify both affected and financial stakeholders. This analysis guided the engagement plan, ensuring the inclusion of voices with insight into The Wallfashion House’s impact areas. Engagement methods included interviews and desk research, tailored to stakeholder sub-types based on ESRS 2.
The resulting assessments were reviewed by The Wallfashion House’s management team, which defined thresholds for materiality. IROs were considered material if they fell into the ‘high’ or ‘major’ financial materiality categories, or into ‘critical’ or ‘catastrophic’ categories of impact materiality. The final list of material topics was validated and confirmed in a dedicated board-level session, completing a rigorous and transparent materiality process (see annex 3.2).
\ 2.1.2 Identifying Relevant Sustainability Matters and IROs A longlist of sustainability matters was developed using ESRS 1 Appendix A, insights from industry associations and benchmarks, and materiality guidance from sustainable accounting standards board (SASB), covering sectors such as building products & furnishings, and pulp & paper products. IROs were identified through 4 internal interviews with management and board members, as well as 23 indepth interviews and desk research covering 9 key external stakeholders. This ensured a well-rounded perspective on ESG risks and opportunities across The Wallfashion House’s value chain. Our key customers defined GHG emissions, energy consumption & mix and resource inflows as the top three priorities to work on.
\ 2.1.3 IRO Assessment and Prioritisation Identified IROs were evaluated for their significance through a series of workshops. Internal stakeholders assessed environmental, social, and governance-related IROs based on severity, likelihood, scope, and scale, using ESRS-aligned scoring criteria. Complementary input from selected peers, suppliers and clients further supported the evaluation.
\ 2.1.5 Consolidating the material IROs in six strategic pillars that form the core of TWH’s sustainability strategy. \ Pillar 1 – Own workforce How The Wallfashion House builds a strong workplace that promotes inclusion and supports employee development, health, safety and wellbeing \ Pillar 2 – Customers, end-users and quality How The Wallfashion House ensures product quality and customer and end-user satisfaction. \ Pillar 3 – Climate change How The Wallfashion House addresses greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption across assets, operations, products and logistics. \ Pillar 4 – Air pollution How The Wallfashion House addresses the prevention of air pollution generated by its production activities. \ Pillar 5 – Sourcing & use of materials, circular economy, and waste How The Wallfashion House addresses the responsible sourcing and use of raw materials and its waste management. \ Pillar 6 – Business conduct How The Wallfashion House ensures good governance and guarantees cybersecurity.
In addition to the six strategic pillars that will be explained in the following chapters, TWH has also defined three key transversal must-win battles that have a major impact on almost all pillars.

Our sustainability strategy
2.2 Three transversal must-win battles \ 2.2.1 MWB 1 – Increase the share of PVC- and plasticizer-free wallpaper Although vinyl wallpaper has an optimal price-quality ratio and an excellent performance in terms of scratch resistance and washability, the environmental impact and financial risk of manufacturing vinyl wallpaper should not be underestimated: \ High raw material intensity. The manufacturing of vinyl wallpaper requires quite a number of chemicals: PVC, plasticizers, solvents, fillers, foaming agents (e.g. ADCA which is classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the European Chemicals Agency), fireretardant additives, etc. \ High energy intensity. To create a 3D structure in the vinyl layer of the wallpaper, a quite energy-intensive production step is required: the foaming of the PVC in a long oven at a temperature around 180-190°C. The ovens are directly or indirectly heated by the combustion of natural gas. During this foaming process, plasticizers and solvents evaporate. These vapours are guided towards thermal oxidizers via an exhaust system. These thermal oxidizers also consume large amounts of natural gas. \ Financial risk. Due to the use of high amounts of fossil fuel based raw materials and the high consumption of natural gas, the manufacturing cost of vinyl wallpaper is highly impacted in case of fossil fuel price increases or fluctuations. Another financial risk relates to the thermal oxidizers which are quite capital and maintenance intensive. The production of PVC-free wallpaper reduces or eliminates this environmental impact and risk TWH produces the following types of PVC- and plasticizer-free products:
14
\ Wallpaper without a coating: direct printing on nonwoven or paper. The manufacturing of this type of wallpaper eliminates all three impacts/risks mentioned above, as no fossil-oil-based coating is required, and neither long oven nor thermal oxidizers. \ Wallpaper with an eco-friendly coating (e.g. Eco-deco, Acrylic coating,…). The manufacturing of this type of wallpaper still requires fossil oil-based chemicals, but no plasticizers, solvents or substances of very high concern are required. A long oven to dry the coating is still required, but as no plasticizers or solvents are used, thermal oxidizers to treat hazardous vapours are not required. The main challenge is to develop and offer eco-friendly wallpaper with similar properties to vinyl wallpaper and to offer it at a similar price. Currently, the eco-friendly alternatives to PVC have lower performance (scratchability, washability,…) and have a higher manufacturing cost compared to vinyl wallpaper. TWH is committed to continuing to invest R&D resources in further improving the performance and manufacturing cost of wallpapers with eco-friendly coatings in order to grow this important product segment of PVC- and plasticizer-free products.
Rasch, Kids World II
\ 2.2.2 MWB 2 – Digital printing Analogue printing is still the most commonly used process to produce wallpaper. It has however some important limitations: \ Long change-over time. The time required to change over from one product to another is quite labourintensive, takes quite some time and results in a lot of waste of raw materials. \ Make-to-stock production. Due to the long changeover times, products are made to stock, as printing on-demand would result in too small batches and a too high manufacturing cost. At the end of the lifetime of an article, there is always a risk to end up with obsolete stock that can’t be sold and has to be disposed of as waste. \ Energy intensive process to dry inks. The water-based inks are dried by means of infrared or gas-powered heaters. \ Limitation in design. Due to the rotary printing principle (gravure or screen), there is a repeat in the design. \ Tooling required. For each new wallpaper design, a new set of expensive tooling is required. The manufacturing of rotogravure cylinders traditionally creates a significant environmental footprint. \ Limitations in process robustness. The complex process with many manually set process parameters, the variation in raw material properties, the variation in operator skills, etc. bring some challenges in terms of process robustness. As the wall covering market is evolving towards increased variety in designs (hence smaller production batches), personalised products, panoramic wallpaper,… digital printing becomes increasingly more important thanks to the following advantages: \ No change-over time, no waste when changing over from one design to another
\ Printing on demand, no stock required \ Very low energy consumption (e.g. by making use of LED curing of inks) \ No limitations in design \ No tooling required \ High process robustness, low reject levels Since 2017 we are pioneer in digital printing of panoramic repeatable wallpaper. TWH continued over the years to invest in this rapidly growing segment of digitally printed wallpaper
\ 2.2.3 MWB 3 – Rasch Polska: Next-generation plant Rasch Polska is TWH’s lighthouse factory for new production technology. New technologies are tested and scaled here before being rolled out to the other factories of the group. \ The Plant is completely PVC-free \ All inks are water-based \ 100% green energy (since 2026), including solar farm on site \ Careful selection of raw materials with recycled content (paper substrate, packing materials,…) \ Low waste rate by internally reusing residues generated in production \ Highly empowered and agile workforce, responding fast to new customer requirements \ Production of high-quality peel-and-stick decoration material (see further)

Our sustainability strategy
2.3 Six main pillars The Wallfashion House sustainability strategy is built on six main pillars:
\ 2.3.1 Pillar 1 - Own workforce \ 2.3.1.1 Why it matters A strong and engaged workforce is essential to The Wallfashion House’s long-term success, making this a highly important topic for the company. Labour shortages, especially for technical profiles, create recruitment challenges that can impact business continuity, while labour market pressure intensifies competition for talent. As people centricity is one of our core values, we invest in employee health and safety. Illness and absences can also lead to operational disruptions and increased costs. Furthermore, training and skills development are becoming increasingly important. New hires require significant in-house training and longer onboarding periods, strong learning and development opportunities
help position The Wallfashion House as an employer of choice. This not only strengthens talent attraction and retention but also enhances productivity, innovation, and the company’s overall competitive advantage. As of 2025, The Wallfashion House employs people from 17 different nationalities, with roles split between bluecollar (52%) and white-collar (48%) functions, and a gender composition of 69% male and 31% female. The age distribution shows a workforce concentrated in the 40-60 age bracket (58.1% combined), divided into 50-59 (35.9%), 40-49 (22.2%), 30-39 (21.7%), 20-29 (10.8%), over 60 (8.6%), and under 20 (0.8%) categories. Looking ahead, the Group recognises the importance of broadening gender representation and strengthening the pipeline of younger talent to support long-term workforce renewal and knowledge continuity. This vision is supported by three guiding principles, which are implemented consistently across all TWH locations: 1. Our approach on employee engagement & employer branding 2. Our approach on training and talent development 3. Health & safety and wellbeing

\ 2.3.1.2 Our approach on employee engagement & employer branding The Wallfashion House strives to be recognised as a creative, people-oriented, and purpose-driven employer that combines craftsmanship with innovation. We celebrate our heritage in wallcoverings and design while embracing modern ways of working, inclusivity, and talent development. The Wallfashion House strives to be an employer of choice in the local surroundings of all its entities and takes several initiatives internally and within the local communities.
\ 2.3.1.3 Our approach on training and skills development The Wallfashion House (TWH) is committed to fostering a skilled and capable workforce by providing every employee with opportunities to learn, grow, and perform at their best in their role. The company’s training and skills development approach is anchored in a clear vision: to build a learning culture that supports talent development and professional growth, strengthens operational performance, and equips employees with the capabilities needed to meet evolving business and industry requirements. This vision is supported by two guiding principles which are consistently applied across all entities: 1. continuous learning, 2. development and performance management.
PRINCIPLE ON CONTINUOUS LEARNING. TWH recognises the importance of learning in enhancing performance, ensuring quality, and enabling employees to execute their tasks safely and effectively. TWH is committed to ensuring that every employee has access to training aligned with their role and development needs. The company promotes learning through a broad mix of formal, informal, and on-the-job training formats, which are included in an annual Training Plan. This includes technical skills training, such as site-specific training covering machine operating, quality, and safety procedures. Formal learning programmes such as certifications, language courses, and leadership development are also provided. Informal learning opportunities including job shadowing, cross-functional knowledge exchange, mentoring, and hands-on development during daily operations foster further learning within the organisation. Apprenticeship programmes (e.g. dual learning: ‘Auszubildender’ at Rasch), developed in partnerships with schools and certified training institutions, provide additional pathways for technical and professional talent development. TWH ensures that training is delivered responsibly, transparently, and without discrimination, supporting a fair and ethical work environment. The company evaluates
17
Our sustainability strategy
the effectiveness of training through skills application, job performance, and participant feedback, creating a structured feedback loop that strengthens accountability and supports continuous improvement. At TWH, we actively embrace and promote the use of AI across our business operations and day-to-day processes. We are committed to ensuring that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner and that it does not expose the company to risks, such as the disclosure of sensitive information. To this end, an AI Policy has been established, and employees are provided with training to raise awareness and support the appropriate use of AI tools. Furthermore, within Grandeco, we have established a team of Digital Champions who are responsible for exploring AI use cases, exchanging insights and experiences, and sharing their learnings with other colleagues throughout the organisation.
Veerle Huyghe
PRINCIPLE ON DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT Training and skills development are closely integrated with TWH’s performance management and career planning. Employees receive structured feedback during annual performance reviews, and individual development plans may be created to align training activities with future roles and career ambitions. This forward-looking approach ensures that TWH not only meets current capability needs but also builds strong internal talent pipelines for technical, operational, and leadership positions. Many TWH employees have already followed a successful career path within the organisation.

\ 2.3.1.4 Approach on health, safety and wellbeing The Wallfashion House is committed to creating a work environment where every employee, contractor, and visitor can operate safely, confidently, and in good health. The company’s health, safety, and wellbeing approach is anchored in a clear vision: to strive for zero accidents, safeguard the physical and mental wellbeing of all individuals on-site (for instance the confidential counsellor at Grandeco), and embed safety as an integral part of everyday operations. Recordable employee accident rate changed from 1.70% (2024) to 1.30% (2025).
PRINCIPLE ON STRONG PREVENTIVE ACTION AND TRAINING The company systematically identifies, evaluates, and controls risks by conducting routine risk assessments across all processes and equipment. Appropriate control measures are implemented to eliminate or minimise hazards, while regular inspections and safety checks are carried out internally by the Safety Committee. External oversight by applicable external authorities further strengthens compliance and transparency. All employees receive regular health and safety training tailored to their roles, and site-specific instructions are provided by dedicated Health & Safety specialists in each production facility. Additional targeted training, covering machinery safety, emergency procedures, first aid, and fire prevention, ensures that every individual has the knowledge needed to act safely and responsibly.
PRINCIPLE ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This principle is driven by incident reporting, monitoring, and corrective action. TWH maintains clear guidelines for reporting accidents and unsafe conditions. Every incident
is promptly investigated to identify root causes and prevent recurrence, and health and safety performance is periodically reported to the TWH management. This structured feedback loop embeds learning into daily operations and strengthens the overall safety culture.
PRINCIPLE ON HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE TWH adheres to all relevant national and international laws, industry safety standards, and best practices. The company aligns its approach with ISO 45001 principles, using this globally recognised framework as a guideline to structure its way of working. This is put into practice via several procedures such as the permit to work, working at heights, LOTOTO and many other safety procedures. Employee health and wellbeing are an essential part of TWH’s approach. The company supports its workforce through occupational health programmes focused on ergonomics, mental wellbeing, and safe working practices. These programmes are currently in place in all entities. Vaccination programmes, such as flu or region-specific vaccinations, are also offered. To ease reintegration after illness or injury, return-to-work interviews are conducted to support employees and reduce the risk of recurrence. Ergonomics are important. Therefore we have occupational physician walk-throughs providing practical tips and adjustments, which we also share and reinforce through means of our internal communication channels, such as GrandeConnect for Grandeco or the Rasch Intranet. Another important topic is the right to disconnect. We ensure employees are not expected to be constantly available outside working hours.

Our sustainability strategy
Another example is the possibility to lease a bike. To encourage more physical activity and to promote green mobility we offer the opportunity to lease a bicycle so employees can cycle to work on a regular basis. For instance, already 17% (2025) of the employees in Grandeco Tielt make use of this.
\ 2.3.1.5 Ambition for the future Our ambition is to build a high-performing learning organisation where continuous development, internal career growth, and digital innovation go hand in hand. By investing in our people, promoting responsible AI adoption, and creating opportunities for advancement, we aim to develop the skills and leadership capabilities needed to support both individual success and the long-term growth of TWH.

\ 2.3.2 Pillar 2 – Customers, end-users and quality \ 2.3.2.1 Why it matters As a leading player in the wall decoration market, The Wallfashion House considers quality a strategic priority This includes appropriate delivery performance, and strong customer service. Shortcomings in any of these areas may lead to costs related to product recalls and reputational damage. The Wallfashion House therefore maintains a consistent focus on quality.
\ 2.3.2.2 Our approach on customers, end-users and quality The Wallfashion House is committed to delivering highquality wallcovering solutions that meet customer expectations and comply with applicable regulatory and stakeholder requirements. The company aims to achieve high customer satisfaction through consistent product conformity, reliable delivery performance and effective customer service. This vision is guided by three key principles, applied consistently across all business units and production locations: 1. customer centricity 2. product quality assurance 3. operational reliability
PRINCIPLE ON CUSTOMER CENTRICITY TWH develops, produces and delivers customer-oriented products (such as the innovative virus-killing wallpaper, Atmosphere x Pure&Protect, or the peel-and-stick solution of Rasch in collaboration with a strategic partner) that enable its customers, including retailers, distributors and professional partners, to serve their end-users effectively.
Customer service processes are designed to ensure clarity, responsiveness and consistency. In the event of a quality complaint, TWH provides appropriate reporting channels and maintains a structured complaint-handling process overseen by the Quality Department of each production site. Each complaint is assessed objectively and addressed in line with TWH’s quality policy to support transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. This approach helps TWH comply with applicable legislation, industry standards and stakeholder expectations. This customer-focused approach helps ensure that customers receive reliable products and appropriate support, enabling them to provide positive experiences for their own clients. As part of its customer centric service approach, The Wallfashion House continues looking into digital tools and standardised data integration to support transparency, clarity and efficiency for B2B customers. A concrete example is the Rasch Data Service (RDS) platform, which enables customers to access reference product data, check stock availability, place orders and monitor order status through automated and structured data exchange. Once implemented, data flows can be aligned with customer-specific system requirements, allowing master data and order information to be exchanged in a consistent and reliable manner. Rather than replacing existing customer systems or processes, digital solutions are designed to complement established ERP, e commerce, PIM and data warehouse environments through standardised interfaces.
23
Our sustainability strategy
By enabling standardised and automated access to product and order information, this digital service reduces manual handling, supports more efficient customer processes, and contributes to transparency and consistency in customer interactions. This approach strengthens customer trust, supports long-term partnerships, and aligns with TWH’s commitment to customer-focused service and quality.
\ 2.3.2.3 Principle on ensuring product quality The Wallfashion House ensures product conformity through an ISO 9001-aligned way of working across all production facilities. The company commits to providing the necessary resources, expertise and infrastructure to maintain and continuously improve this system. Quality is embedded in all aspects of the business and performance is monitored through measurable data and clearly defined indicators. In addition, many production batches undergo further professional quality checks before storage, which provides an extra safeguard to ensure consistent product performance and high customer satisfaction. All products comply with applicable standards and carry recognised labels such as CE, EN 13501-1, A+/A/B/C and UKCA, supporting responsible sourcing, product safety and transparency.
\ 2.3.2.4 Principle on operational reliability Reliable delivery performance is crucial for achieving high levels of customer satisfaction. At TWH, we
24
continuously improve demand forecasting, strengthen planning processes and use data-driven systems to ensure appropriate delivery times and the accurate and timely fulfilment of orders. We support international customer accounts by offering contractual service levels, including defined delivery times and stock availability. Close coordination of people, processes and technology across the supply chain, from production planning to warehousing and logistics operations, contributes to operational reliability. This structured approach enables consistent performance and the development of long-term customer relationships. We monitor operational performance through defined key performance indicators, including on-time delivery rates, order fulfilment accuracy, and service-level performance. Collaborating with suppliers and logistics partners helps us maintain stable lead times and consistent service levels. These insights enable the continuous evaluation and improvement of supply chain effectiveness.
\ 2.3.2.5 Ambition for the future Looking ahead, The Wallfashion House will continue to stay closely connected to its customers and end-users, developing products that respond fully to their needs. We remain committed to delivering excellent service and to safeguarding consistent product quality at every stage of the product lifecycle. In doing so, we also aim to make our customers stronger within the wallcovering sector.
Initiatives to maintain and improve product quality: \ TWH applies a structured set of quality assurance actions at every stage of the product lifecycle: \ During new product development: • Early identification of potential technical issues by conducting a risk analysis. \ During prototyping • For all new products, a prototype is made to test the tooling, fix the colour recipes, etc. The prototype is formally approved before the product can go into production. \ During production: • First production runs to define all process parameters. • Enhanced quality controls at production lines to detect deviations early. • Continuous monitoring of process parameters during production to ensure stability and conformity. • Quality control after production.
\ During the use phase: • Clear instructions for end-users through labelling, product symbols, and technical guidance. • Practical advice provided in stores or through online resources such as tutorial videos, helping end-users apply and decorate walls correctly and safely. • These measures ensure not only product quality but also optimal user experience and reduced risk of incorrect installation. \ Quality control of master data \ Quality control of (after-sales) services

\ 2.3.3.2 Our approach on climate transition
\ 2.3.3.1 Why it matters
MAPPING & DESCRIBING CCF
As a wallfashion manufacturer, our climate impact is linked both to our own operations and production processes and to our and our partners’ activities in the value chain. While energy use and greenhouse gas emissions remain important considerations across our value chain, new technologies and alternative materials are opening the door to cleaner, more efficient ways of working. By understanding where our climate impact occurs, from printing techniques to the materials we source, we can make targeted improvements that reduce emissions, manage costs more effectively, and enhance long-term competitiveness.
Our approach on climate change starts with an in-depth understanding of the Corporate Carbon Footprint of our entire group. In 2024, TWH has mapped the complete CCF of the group, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. In 2025, this exercise was repeated.

\ Levers to reduce CCFT
Scope 1&2:
TWH’s approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is based on the following levers:
\ Energy reduction measures, to reduce gas and electricity consumption • Example: LED lighting \ Electrification: replacing combustion of fossil fuels (mainly natural gas) with electricity • Example: Replacement of CHP installation with sourcing of electricity \ Sourcing and generation of green electricity • Example: PV installation on the roof of the factory in Tielt • Since 1/1/2026: 100% green energy sourced in Tielt and Rasch Polska \ S&OP: optimised production planning to reduce the specific consumption of gas and electricity • Example: always running maximum number of lines on one thermal oxidizer
Scope 3:
Scope 1, 2 and 3:
\ Sourcing of raw materials with lower emission factors • Example: use of packaging materials with recycled content \ Use less materials/components: • Example: reduction of use of titanium dioxide in plastisol \ Improve the recyclability of wallpaper and other wallcovering products • Example: PVC-free products; direct printing on paper or non-woven \ Optimisation of the distribution network, packaging and transportation • Example: Combined shipments of goods from Rasch, Grandeco, Wallsupply to common customers
\ Growth of PVC-free products to reduce or avoid the gas consumption required for the foaming of PVC and the thermal oxidizers to treat the gaseous VOCs (see above: MWB 1) \ Growth in digital printing to reduce the energy intensity, use of raw materials and process waste (see above: MWB 2) \ Increasing the yield of raw materials by reducing process waste, internal reuse of leftovers, etc. • Example: reuse of ink leftovers at Rasch Polska
\ Evolution CCF From 2024 to 2025 the Corporate Carbon Footprint of TWH reduced from 115,139 t CO2eq to 111,216 t CO2eq (-3.4%). This is the combined effect of focused initiatives (see above), volume and mix effects.

\ 2.3.4 Pillar 4 - Air pollution \ 2.3.4.1 Why it matters Air pollution is an important topic for The Wallfashion House because it directly influences both our regulatory compliance and our operational reliability. As emission standards continue to tighten, companies are expected to meet increasingly stringent requirements. At the same time, air pollution can have an immediate operational impact: capacity issues or potential technical malfunctions in the thermal oxidizers may lead to production stoppages. By proactively addressing air pollution, we safeguard our environmental performance, secure our licence to operate, and ensure a more stable and efficient production process for the future.
\ 2.3.4.2 Our approach on air pollution prevention The Wallfashion House approaches air pollution prevention as a core element of responsible manufacturing and sustainable business growth. Its vision is to operate production facilities that protect the environment, safeguard employee health, and remain fully aligned with evolving regulatory expectations. This long-term commitment is grounded in three guiding principles with corresponding initiatives: strict compliance, structured monitoring, and continuous innovation across materials, technology, and design.
RINCIPLE ON STRICT AND FORWARD-LOOKING P COMPLIANCE TWH’s well-equipped production facilities operate with advanced environmental protection technologies designed to minimise emissions both inside and outside the facilities. The company ensures that all sites meet applicable environmental and chemical legislation, including SVHC and REACH requirements, and that they operate under valid environmental permits. Compliance also extends to location-specific obligations. In Bramsche, TWH adheres to the stringent German BImSchG legislation, which sets limits for noise, odour, dust, and atmospheric emissions. Where local context requires increased attention, such as operations in densely populated areas or situations where neighbouring communities raise concern, TWH implements additional measures to minimise environmental disturbance. By systematically monitoring regulatory developments, TWH anticipates future legal thresholds and takes timely action to ensure all sites remain compliant well ahead of regulatory change.
PRINCIPLE ON STRUCTURED MONITORING The company maintains a structured monitoring system to collect, track, and analyse air pollution data over time. These data are documented in internal air pollution accounting records and reported to authorities (see Annex B4). Independent verification of the air emissions at each production site reinforces credibility. The thermal oxidizers at Grandeco Tielt and Rasch Bramsche treat the plasticizer and solvent vapours coming from the production lines. Reliable operation of these thermal oxidizers is guaranteed by close monitoring and frequent preventive maintenance.
\ 2.3.4.3 Ambition for the future Principles of prevention at the source through innovation in materials, production methods and design
1. INNOVATION IN MATERIAL SOURCING AND APPLICATION TWH actively explores and evaluates more sustainable, less hazardous raw materials that can be safely integrated into the production process without compromising product quality. By replacing certain materials with environmentally preferable alternatives, the company directly reduces emissions generated during manufacturing. TWH only uses phthalate-free plasticizers and water-based inks in its gravure printing (with the exception of a very few special inks such as gold and silver inks).
2. PRODUCT AND PROCESS INNOVATION As the use of plasticizers and solvents in the production process of vinyl wallpaper is responsible for most of the air emissions (through the thermal oxidizers), TWH invests significant resources in the development and growth of PVC-free products, both in analogue and digital printing.
Clean air is a shared responsibility. By tackling emissions at the source and monitoring rigorously, we protect our people, our neighbours and our licence to operate.
TWH also attaches great importance to the indoor emissions of its products. All wallpaper collections have achieved the A+ indoor air emission label, demonstrating their contribution to improved indoor air quality.

Our sustainability strategy
\ 2.3.5 Pillar 5 - Sourcing & use of materials, circular economy, and waste \ 2.3.5.1 Why it matters
Association, providing transparent and independently verified information on environmental impacts across the product lifecycle.
The circular economy is a key strategic focus for The Wallfashion House, given its direct impact on our long-term resilience, cost structure and competitive positioning. Increasingly stringent regulations on raw materials such as chemicals, paper and PVC are contributing to rising operational costs and require us to continuously evaluate and implement more sustainable material alternatives.
At the same time, certain materials, particularly PVC, remain challenging to substitute without compromising key technical and performance characteristics. Addressing these constraints requires targeted innovation and ongoing technical adjustments within our production facilities in Tielt and Bramsche, while our facility in Poland already operates entirely without the use of PVC.
To support this transition, the environmental performance of our products is assessed using life cycle assessment methodologies. Where relevant, this is complemented by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) developed at industry level through IGI – The Global Wallcoverings
The development of more sustainable products, including solutions incorporating recycled content, creates additional opportunities in the market. At the same time, early signs of market pull are emerging: a growing number of retailers and project customers explicitly request recycled content or
We’re moving from ‘take, make, dispose’ to ‘design for circularity’: choosing recycled materials, cutting waste, and turning by-products into raw materials for others. 34
verified environmental credentials in their sourcing criteria. This demand remains concentrated in specific segments and is not yet sufficient to offset the price premium typically associated with more sustainable alternatives. However, broader adoption is dependent on customer willingness to accept higher price levels, which remains limited in mainstream segments.
\ 2.3.5.2 Our approach on responsible sourcing and use of materials The Wallfashion House pursues a responsible approach to sourcing and use of materials that supports its broader ambition to reduce environmental impact, strengthen supply chain integrity, and drive sustainable innovation across its product portfolio. This approach is guided by a clear vision: to source and manage materials in a way that preserves natural resources, enhances product circularity, and aligns with evolving regulatory requirements and market expectations. To achieve this, TWH applies three guiding principles which are embedded in procurement practices, product development, and supplier collaboration across the group:
Three guiding principles
01
RESPONSIBLE AND CERTIFIED SOURCING OF RAW MATERIALS
02
INNOVATION-DRIVEN PROGRESS TOWARDS MORE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
03
MAXIMISING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY (YIELD)
\ 2.3.5.3 Sourcing & efficient use of materials PRINCIPLE ON RESPONSIBLE AND CERTIFIED SOURCING OF RAW MATERIALS TWH aims to work closely with its suppliers to ensure that key raw materials increasingly meet recognised sustainability standards, comply with applicable regulations, and support the company’s environmental objectives. This includes a continued focus on sourcing certified and responsibly managed raw materials, such as FSC®-certified paper, FSC®-certified wood and woodbased materials, while improving traceability throughout the supply chain and exploring opportunities to increase the use of recycled and lower-impact materials where technically and aesthetically feasible. Depending on the product category, TWH also promotes the use of recycled wood-based materials and other sustainable substrates, supporting the efficient use of natural resources while maintaining high standards of quality, durability, and design. In addition, TWH recognises the importance of strengthening supplier engagement and transparency over time, including through clearer expectations, data exchange, and alignment with emerging due diligence and sustainability frameworks. This enables the company to progressively enhance the reliability, consistency, and impact of its responsible sourcing approach. TWH is actively preparing to ensure compliance with emerging European regulatory frameworks such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). In parallel, TWH is assessing implications on packaging materials, with a focus on reducing packaging volumes, increasing recyclability, and supporting the transition towards more circular packaging solutions. While implementation is ongoing, these regulatory frameworks

are increasingly integrated into supplier expectations and sourcing decisions, reinforcing the company’s commitment to compliant and future-proof procurement practices. To reinforce responsible practices across the value chain, TWH has rolled out a structured Supplier Code of Conduct across its supplier base. The Code is communicated to all suppliers, while a formal acknowledgement and signed commitment is prioritised for key suppliers based on spend and risk considerations. This approach supports a progressive alignment with TWH’s ethical, environmental and social standards, while enabling a focused and riskbased engagement strategy across the supplier base. See Pillar 6.
PRINCIPLE ON INNOVATION-DRIVEN PROGRESS TOWARDS MORE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS TWH actively engages in research and development initiatives aimed at identifying and implementing new, more sustainable alternatives. These innovation efforts focus on reducing the environmental footprint of material inputs. Raw material selection is therefore closely linked to long-term product development strategies, positioning sustainability as a driver for both quality and market differentiation. One of the biggest challenges in this area is the substitution of PVC within the production process of wallpaper.
PRINCIPLE ON MAXIMISING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY (YIELD) Yield is an important KPI in TWH’s three factories; this KPI is deployed on the different levels in the organisation and closely monitored in the respective performance review meetings. TWH is continuously improving the processes and

activities in different areas to increase yield: \ Incoming quality control \ Prototyping and first production runs to minimise the risk of quality issues during the launch of new products \ Accurate dosing of raw materials going to the production lines to minimise leftovers \ Quick change-overs on the analogue production lines to minimise change-over waste \ Process control and well-trained operators to avoid poor quality and rejects \ Well-established S&OP processes to avoid obsolete stock of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods
\ 2.3.5.4 Our approach on circular economy RINCIPLE ON CIRCULAR PRODUCT P DEVELOPMENT, AND SOURCING OF RECYCLED MATERIALS TWH is shifting away from the “take, make, dispose” model and attaches very high importance to the principle of circular product development. During the product design phase, TWH maximises the use of recycled materials and the recyclability of the product by making conscious design and material choices. Some excellent examples of almost completely circular products are: \ Murafelt 3D acoustic wall panels: made from recycled PET \ Teak wood panels, made from scrap wood from the furniture industry \ Roomblush Recycled, printed on 100% recycled non-woven These principles of circularity also apply to the choice of

packaging materials; we maximise the use of packaging materials with a high percentage of recycled content (e.g. cardboard boxes have a recycled content >97% (which is above the European average), shrink and stretch foils 30%).
PRINCIPLE ON RECYCLING INTERNAL LEFTOVERS Although TWH always aims to prepare the exact quantities of raw materials and producing the exact quantities of semifinished products in its production processes, leftovers are often unavoidable. To minimise waste, these leftovers are, however, internally recycled. A good example is the investment at Rasch Polska in a new
ink dosing station to maximise the internal recycling of ink leftovers. This has contributed to a significant reduction of ink waste.
DEVELOPING PRODUCTS TO ENABLE CIRCULAR PRINCIPLES AND EXTEND END-OF-LIFE OF INTERIOR OBJECTS TWH also develops and commercialises products that extend the lifetime of other interior objects. The most recent development is the result of a co-development with a strategic partner: a self-adhesive peel-and-stick décor product that can not only be used as wallpaper, but also as a means to upcycle old, worn interior objects.
For all new products, a prototype is made of the colour recipes,

\ 2.3.5.5 Our approach on waste management & disposal The Wallfashion House (TWH) pursues a waste management approach that supports its broader ambition to minimise environmental impact, preserve natural resources, and operate in line with circular economy principles. Its vision is to reduce waste generation at the source, maximise reuse and recycling opportunities, and ensure that all remaining waste streams are managed responsibly and in accordance with regulatory requirements. To achieve this vision,
TWH follows three guiding principles: waste prevention first, responsible handling of all waste types, and water stewardship.
PRINCIPLE ON WASTE PREVENTION: FOCUSES ON ELIMINATING OR REDUCING WASTE VOLUMES WHEREVER POSSIBLE As explained in previous chapters, TWH aims to limit waste generation throughout its production processes by optimising resource and material efficiency and improving process control, while lowering its environmental impact. TWH actively seeks opportunities to reuse materials internally before they become waste, which reduces the need for virgin materials and minimises waste output. Monitoring and recording all waste streams enables the company to detect trends, evaluate performance, and continuously refine its waste reduction practices.

TWH sorts and recycles waste in accordance with legal requirements and works to optimise disposal routes to reduce environmental impact and cost. The company actively explores and implements new recycling routes. Hazardous waste is strictly controlled: TWH regularly monitors hazardous waste streams and evaluates alternative resources that generate less hazardous output. Hazardous waste is safely stored in dedicated containers at each production facility and managed through certified
specialist partners, ensuring full legal compliance and safe treatment. TWH’s waste amounts to 2,762 tonnes, of which 2,661.1 tonnes (96.3%) is non-hazardous waste. Of this nonhazardous waste, 82% is recycled by waste processing companies. TWH’s production processes also generate by-products that are used as raw materials by other industries (e.g. for manufacturing of shoes, doors, carpets,…). We continuously look for new opportunities to upcycle byproducts or waste into raw materials for other industries.
PRINCIPLE ON WATER STEWARDSHIP The company is committed to responsible water stewardship, focusing on the continuous improvement of water efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact associated with water use. Water withdrawals, consumption, and discharges are systematically monitored, and best available techniques are applied across operations.
\ 2.3.5.6 Ambition for the future TWH is committed to the continuous improvement of its waste management practices, with the objective of reducing hazardous waste streams and increasing the recyclability and reusability of materials, in alignment with circular economy principles.

\ 2.3.6 Pillar 6 - Business conduct Strong business conduct is essential for The Wallfashion House (TWH) as it safeguards the company’s financial stability, integrity, and long-term resilience. Operating across international markets requires strict ethical standards, careful oversight, and transparent decision-making. At the same time, growing cybersecurity threats pose additional risks to commercial transactions and business continuity. By upholding strong business conduct and robust cybersecurity practices, TWH strengthens stakeholder trust, and ensures responsible and sustainable business performance.
The Code applies to all employees, management, and business partners, and guides responsible behaviour in daily operations. It covers key areas such as human rights and fair working conditions, health and safety, fair competition and anti-corruption, environmental responsibility, product integrity, data protection, confidentiality, and responsible communication. Mechanisms for reporting concerns ensure transparency and reinforce a culture of integrity. The TWH Whistleblower Policy outlines the procedure for reporting unethical or improper behaviour, ensures protection from retaliation for good-faith reports, and guarantees confidential reporting and investigation.
\ 2.3.6.2 Our approach on business ethics and corporate governance
RINCIPLE ON DIGITAL RESPONSIBILITY AND P SECURE BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The Wallfashion House is committed to conducting its business with integrity, transparency, and respect for people, society, and the environment. For TWH, strong business conduct is essential to safeguarding the company’s long-term resilience, nurturing trusted relationships, and enabling excellence across all activities, ranging from design through procurement and production to partnerships, sales, and customer service. This commitment is anchored in a clear vision: to ensure that ethical behaviour, responsible leadership, and robust governance practices guide every decision and interaction within the organisation. TWH’s business conduct approach is built on four core principles: ethical behaviour, digital responsibility, compliant data management and ethical sourcing, supported by concrete policies and daily operational practices that reinforce accountability, trust.
The safeguarding of TWH’s digital infrastructure is a critical element of responsible business conduct. The company’s Cybersecurity Policy protects essential assets such as digital design tools, customer information, and proprietary collections. By proactively addressing cybersecurity risks, TWH prevents business interruptions, secures intellectual property, and ensures the continuity of safe and reliable operations. TWH’s AI Policy ensures responsible use of AI tools within the organisation.
\ 2.3.6.1 Why it matters
RINCIPLE ON ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR AND P RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING The foundation of TWH’s business conduct is its Code of Conduct, which reflects the company’s values.
40
RINCIPLE ON ETHICAL AND COMPLIANT DATA P MANAGEMENT TWH is committed to managing all personal and business data in full compliance with applicable regulations. The company’s GDPR Policy ensures that data is collected, processed, and stored lawfully, transparently, and for legitimate purposes. It promotes strict data minimisation, secure storage practices, access controls, and defined retention procedures. Regular reviews strengthen accountability and help maintain a high level of privacy awareness across all entities and departments.
RINCIPLE ON ETHICAL SOURCING AND SUPPLIER P RELATIONSHIPS TWH sources predominantly within the European Union, prioritising supply chain reliability, regulatory compliance and alignment with European labour and social standards. This regional sourcing approach contributes to operational resilience while mitigating legal, environmental and social risks across the value chain. This regional sourcing approach also supports more efficient inventory management and transport optimisation. Shorter and more predictable supply chains enable improved lead time reliability, reduced safety stock requirements and greater flexibility in responding to demand fluctuations. In addition, proximity to suppliers contributes to lower transport distances and associated emissions, while reducing exposure to logistical disruptions. As such, TWH’s sourcing strategy not only mitigates regulatory and sustainability risks, but also strengthens operational efficiency and supply chain resilience. In this context, TWH recognises the importance of ethical sourcing and responsible supplier relationships to safeguard human rights, fair working conditions, health and safety, environmental responsibility and product integrity. At present, supplier expectations in these areas are embedded through a combination of supplier selection criteria, customer driven audit requirements and existing governance and compliance processes. In addition, TWH applies sanctions screening and trade compliance checks, particularly for higher-risk regions, to ensure that business partners and transactions comply with applicable EU and international regulations. Reporting channels are in place to report concerns or misconduct, supported by a whistleblower framework that ensures the confidential and secure handling of good faith reports. To further formalise and strengthen its approach, TWH has established a Group wide Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets out clear expectations for suppliers in relation to ethical business conduct, human rights, environmental responsibility, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Code provides a structured and consistent framework for supplier relationships across the Group and is embedded within procurement practices, supplier onboarding, and ongoing supplier engagement. It supports a more harmonised approach across entities while building on existing governance and compliance processes already in place. In practice, the Code is applied through a risk-based approach, with particular focus on key suppliers and higher-risk categories. It is complemented by existing measures such as supplier assessments, compliance
checks, and customer-driven audit requirements, thereby reinforcing transparency, accountability, and alignment with recognised sustainability and due diligence standards throughout the value chain. In parallel, TWH is increasingly embedding sustainability considerations into procurement decisions. For example, the transition towards sourcing materials produced using renewable energy demonstrates how procurement can contribute directly to reducing product level emissions and improving environmental performance. Furthermore, TWH actively engages with selected suppliers to enhance transparency on environmental impact, explore more sustainable material alternatives and support suppliers in their own sustainability transition. This approach reflects a broader ambition to move from compliance-driven sourcing towards a more impact-driven model of supplier engagement.
\ 2.3.6.3 Ambition for the future TWH aims to further strengthen and operationalise its responsible sourcing framework by deepening supplier engagement and enhancing the consistency of its approach across all entities. This includes the continued development of a structured, risk-based due diligence approach, with particular focus on higher risk regions, critical suppliers and key raw materials. In parallel, TWH seeks to further reinforce its monitoring and follow up mechanisms, including supplier assessments, audit practices and the management of corrective actions, where relevant. Through these efforts, TWH continues to embed ESG criteria more structurally into procurement decision making and to improve transparency, traceability and accountability across its supply chain, supporting a gradual transition towards a more impact-driven model of supplier collaboration.
Integrity is not a policy. It is the way we work, every day, with every partner, across every border. From the contracts we sign to the data we protect, from the suppliers we choose to the way we handle a complaint. Good conduct is not the baseline. It is the standard we hold ourselves to, always. 41
