Letter from CEO

Dear

Stakeholders

and Friends

of Siegfried

Dr. Wolfgang Wienand

Chief Executive Officer

In 2022, Siegfried reinforced its commitment to sustainability across all three dimensions: social, environmental and econo- mic. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, we prioritize people, the environment and our business. We support the UN Global Compact Initiative with a mission to better the world and care for our customers, patients, and society.

"Sustainability" and "Integrity" represent two of our five corporate values and build the basis for our daily work and our entrepreneurial activity. We are thus expressly committed to sustainable corporate management. In 2022 despite a challenging macroeconomic climate with more stringent energy requirements, we established an energy crisis team that initiated various initiatives at different sites, such as reducing water usage, saving energy or gas, or introducing new safety measures.

Our expertise in process optimization helps customers to develop more efficient and greener production processes for their products and reach ambitious sustainability goals. We employ second-generation processes and green chemistry, while researching various sustainable technologies to reduce energy consumption and waste production whilst ensuring the maximum safety of our products.

All these numerous efforts and initiatives resulted in progress and successes in the area of sustainability. This has been recognized by external parties and independent institutions. In 2022, we were again rated positively in the ISS ESG and the MSCI ESG Ratings, and were, for the second time in a row, included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Europe. All our sites also scored well on EcoVadis Rating with GOLD or SILVER ratings.

Letter from CEO

Organizationally, we make sure that the topic of sustainability gets the required attention through the Strategy and Sustainability Board at the highest management level (Board of Directors). In addition, dedicated positions, such as the one of Global Head SHE, were created.

In 2023, Siegfried will be celebrating its 150th anniversary, and we want our company to be active for at least another 150 years. With this in mind, we are determined to keep our focus on sustainability with the goal of reducing our carbon footprint by 50% by 2023. We recognize our responsibility and are aware of the expectations from our stakeholders. Thus, we are pleased to confirm that Sieg- fried continues to support the aims of the UN Global Compact as set out by the United Nations in 2000, namely environmental protec- tion, human rights promotion, compliance with labor standards and fighting bribery and corruption. As of 2022, Siegfried's Communication on Progress qualifies as "GC Advanced".

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, while we acknowledge that there is still a long way to go.

With kind regards

Dr. Wolfgang Wienand

Chief Executive Officer
