ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23

About the Cover

The way molecular bonds lay the groundwork for complex structures; sustainable practices serve as the foundation for our resilience, success and positive impact. This concept is reflected on the cover of this year's Annual Report, where blue symbolises Hikal, and green represents our commitment to sustainability. The overlapping bond signifies the symbiotic relationship between Hikal and Sustainability - wherein lies the potential for growth.

HIKAL LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23

For over three decades, our commitment has been to drive growth through scale, efficiency, and quality. This year, we strengthened our commitment to sustainability, going above and beyond to extend the value we create beyond our products. Embracing sustainability aligns our Company's operations with environmental responsibilities and yields significant benefits in multiple aspects.

We firmly believe that sustainability and growth are intertwined. With sustainability as our north star, we have made significant investments in technology to ensure clean energy, reduce our carbon footprint, conserve natural

resources, and minimise waste generation across all our sites. This, in turn, enhances our reputation and fosters stronger relationships with stakeholders, including colleagues, partners,

and the communities in which we operate.

Our sustainability roadmap focuses on reducing our carbon footprint across the entire value chain. Prioritising sustainability leads to cost savings through optimised use of resources and energy efficiency. Furthermore,

by adopting a 'molecular thinking' approach, we aspire to become the preferred partner for our global customers - passionate, future-ready, and committed to sustainability.
