Clients We support our clients in their sustainable transition through individual conversations, conferences and awareness sessions and regular sharing of research and market expertise. Ultimately, client dialogue is the most material part of our business. Beyond offering tailored solutions that integrate sustainability, it is the quality of the conversation with clients that matters most. It allows us to objectively and transparently explain how sustainability considerations may affect their wealth, but also how their investments impact the environment. Over the past two years, Degroof Petercam has invested heavily in developing sustainability-related competencies within its client-facing teams. This approach is now being adopted across the Indosuez entities to further strengthen ownership of this theme. In 2025, significant efforts were deployed to provide sustainability training (mostly mandatory), including for our Board members. Companies in which we invest Through our asset management activities, particularly at Degroof Petercam Asset Management (DPAM), we strive to act as responsible and active shareholders. This reinforces our ability to influence companies’ long-term strategies, support their transition and maintain a constructive, forward-looking dialogue. Active ownership includes both exercising voting rights at annual general meetings and engaging directly with companies’ management teams to promote sustainable development and encourage more ambitious transition pathways. 1. Voting: Ensuring the consistency of our voting strategy is essential to upholding our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments. Our approach is based on active voting, based on the expertise of our teams and external partners, to support the climate transition and to demand a high level of responsibility from decision-making bodies regarding ESG issues. Present across major global markets (America, Europe and Asia), our policy stands out for its independent positions, guided by our convictions. We maintain a direct and ongoing dialogue with companies to promote best governance practices, fully embracing our role as a sustainable financial player. During the 2025 financial year, we participated in 1257 shareholders' meetings, voting on 19953 resolutions. 2. Engagement: Engagement is the cornerstone of our responsible investor approach, aiming to support companies and countries in their transition and to address ESG challenges effectively, rather than excluding them. Despite a political environment that is at times less conducive to publicly expressing support for collaborative engagement, we remain fully involved in the main market wide initiatives. Our engagement is global and consistent, with the objective of reducing negative impacts associated with certain activities in our investments while acting on our priority themes: climate, biodiversity, human rights and good governance. In 2025, we carried out active engagement actions with 220 companies, fostering constructive and long term dialogue to encourage the adoption of best practices. This ongoing engagement reflects our fiduciary responsibility and our determination to generate a positive and measurable impact across all our investments. Society at large The adherence of our main asset management company, DPAM, to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) underscores our broader commitment to promoting ESG principles in the financial sector and beyond. In June 2025, CFM Indosuez was an active sponsor of the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco, part of the United Nations Oceans Conference. This commitment naturally complements our long-standing partnership with the Oceanographic Institute, launched in 2020, aimed at exploring how financial actors can contribute to the development of a sustainable blue economy. In 2025, significant efforts were deployed to provide sustainability training (mostly mandatory), including for our Board members. Annual Report 2025 29
