(1) Positioning and Interfaces with Nature

1. Identification of Business Activities

CMPort is a core enterprise of the transportation and logistics sector under China Merchants Group and an important implementation entity for the Group's goal of building a "world-leading enterprise". The Company currently operates and invests in 51 ports and 26 countries and regions globally. In accordance with the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter (WWF BRF) industry classification³, the Company identifies the industry distribution across the upstream, midstream and downstream segments of its value chain, thereby clarifying the business activities within its value chain.

Table 2 Industry Distribution and Business Activities of CMPort within the Value Chain

2. Ecologically Sensitive Sites⁵ Identification and Analysis

During the current year, CMPort conducted an identification of the distribution of key species and ecologically sensitive locations for its subsidiaries. Taking into account the actual circumstances of the subsidiaries and data availability, we defined the data assessment scope with the location of the subsidiary as the centre and radii of 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km, respectively. Due to limited availability of data on species distribution and ecologically sensitive areas overseas, the data assessment scope for overseas subsidiaries this year defined the potential impact area with a radius of 50 km. In the future, the Company plans to further narrow the assessment scope to improve data accuracy.

Table 3 CMPort's Subsidiaries

(1) Distribution of Key Species

(2) Assessment of Nature-related Dependencies and

Impacts

Based on the identification and analysis of the Company's value chain business footprint, we have selected 8 relevant sectors within the value chain and utilized the WWF BRF to assess nature-related dependencies and impacts.

Table 6 Assessment of Nature-Related Dependencies and Impacts Across Industries in the Value Chain of CMPort

1. Nature-related dependencies and impacts of upstream industry activities The various energy production activities covered within the upstream segment of the Company's value chain rely on ecosystem provisioning, regulating and maintenance services. At the same time, such activities have a significant impact on nature and may entail substantial reputational risks.

Hydropower generation relies heavily on the water supply provided by ecosystems to ensure sufficient water volume to drive power generation facilities. Hydropower generation results in a significant increase in the area of open freshwater bodies upstream within a river basin, while reducing the extent of freshwater habitats downstream. The construction of hydropower stations alters water flow and landforms. Reduced sediment supply to downstream river channels may increase the likelihood of soil erosion. As the construction of hydropower facilities involves large-scale alterations to landforms and hydrological conditions, it may have a significant impact on ecologically sensitive areas near the site and on the livelihoods and daily lives of local communities, thereby leading to a high reputational risk.

Solar and wind energy rely moderately on ecosystem provisioning, regulating and supporting services, and may have certain impact on ecosystems. The construction of solar and wind power facilities generates substantial quantities of solid waste, some of which (such as silicon trichloride and silicon tetrachloride discarded during polysilicon production) are classified as hazardous waste. The improper disposal of such waste causes severe environmental pollution. The construction of wind power facilities may result in the destruction of natural habitats.

The use of fossil fuels such as oil heavily depends on natural resource supply and regulation services, and has a significant impact on the ecological environment. Fossil fuel production relies on the water supply services provided by ecosystems to ensure sufficient water for cooling systems, industrial cleaning, daily operations and fire control. Fossil fuel production requires large extensive land for infrastructure development (such as oil wells, canals and roads, and waste storage and disposal facilities), which may lead to habitat loss, decreased vegetation and land degradation. The production and use of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) and non-greenhouse gases (such as volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, particulate matter and toluene) into the environment, contributing to global climate change and polluting local ecosystems. The production and use of fossil fuels are prone to causing habitat destruction. Combined with the health and safety risks arising from improper operations, this may trigger significant public and media concern regarding adverse environmental impacts and occupational health and safety.

Beyond energy utilization activities, a key component of the upstream value chain in which the Company operates is mechanical manufacturing. The installation of industrial machinery and equipment relies on water supply services provided by ecosystems to ensure adequate water quantity and quality for cleaning the installation sites. Mobile transport equipment (such as trailers) relies on natural rubber for tires, creating a dependency on limited plant resources. The production of industrial machinery and equipment generates significant solid waste, while the operation of such equipment releases air pollutants (such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds); if not managed properly, this may result in environmental pollution and damage.

2. Nature-related dependencies and impacts of midstream industry activities The Company's principal business consists of port operations, which are situated in the midstream of the value chain. Port operations rely on the regulatory services of ecosystems to maintain normal operations, mitigating damage to infrastructure caused by natural disasters (such as typhoons, floods, wildfires and strong winds) through the regulation of climate, rainfall, water flow and storms.

Port operations may have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. The construction of ports requires the use of large tracts of land, altering the existing land conditions, which may destroy habitats and reduce vegetation cover, thereby significantly impacting the local environment. Heavy machinery used in port operations may release toxic air pollutants, causing air pollution, while the transport and handling processes generate large quantities of solid waste, which may also significantly impact on the environment. Port site selection, construction and dredging activities may lead to coastal erosion, seabed alterations and habitat destruction, while the continuous low-frequency noise and light pollution generated by port operations may affect the quality of life of local residents. The aforementioned activities may impact wildlife habitats or local residential areas, thereby giving rise to certain reputational risks. The Company's business activities also involve land development and construction projects in the vicinity of port areas. Construction projects in the vicinity of port areas rely on the ecosystem's timber supply services, whilst also requiring the ecosystem to provide regulating and supporting services to reduce the likelihood of extreme heat events and mitigate the impact of dust and noise generated by construction works. Construction activities result in land surface alterations and vegetation loss, placing significant pressure on ecosystems within construction zones and potentially impacting the normal business operations of local communities.

3. Nature-related dependencies and impacts of downstream industry activities The downstream industry activities within the Company's value chain primarily consist of maritime transport services and logistics and supply chain services.

Maritime transport activities depend on ecosystem water supply services to ensure the water required for maritime transport operations, as well as for the cleaning and maintenance of vessels and related infrastructure. Maritime transport activities also depend on ecosystem regulating services that regulate the global and local climate, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of major extreme weather events that could damage vessels and disrupt shipping operations. In respect of logistics and supply chain services, warehousing and land transport activities rely on the ecosystem's soil and water conservation functions to provide stable foundations, control soil erosion, and ensure the structural integrity of warehouse buildings and transport infrastructure. Land transport activities rely on the ecosystem's regulation of global climate and rainfall patterns to prevent transport disruptions caused by extreme weather and to safeguard transport continuity.

Maritime transport activities may place significant pressure on ecosystems. They can alter hydrodynamic characteristics through ship wakes, thereby affecting the movement patterns of marine life and habitats in the affected waters. Given the current energy sources used by most vessels, maritime transport releases substantial quantities of greenhouse gases and non-greenhouse gases (such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and other air pollutants), and the continued use of fossil fuels when docking exacerbates these emissions. Maritime transport activities may generate toxic pollutants through the use of chemicals for ship cleaning, as well as fuel or oil spills from engines and cargo, and leaching from anti-fouling paint. Ballast water from ships may serve as a conduit for the unintentional introduction of species into estuaries or nearshore marine systems, potentially leading to the invasion of non-native species.

In respect of logistics and supply chain services, both warehousing and road transport activities generate greenhouse gas emissions, as well as noise and dust pollution. Road transport, in particular, contributes to air pollution due to fuel combustion and the use of chemicals, emitting gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Furthermore, asphalt road surfaces may emit volatile organic compounds when exposed to intense sunlight and high temperatures. The infrastructure required to support warehousing and road transport activities may alter natural habitats, creating barriers to animal movement and migration or causing wildlife collisions, thereby impacting local biodiversity.

(3) Management of Nature-Related Risks and

Opportunities

To further quantify the nature-related risks associated with our operations, we conducted a nature-related dependency and impact analysis on 17 subsidiaries using the WWF BRF, and then established a corresponding risk indicator hierarchy based on the WWF BRF to derive the quantified assessment results of nature-related risks for each subsidiary.

1. Physical Risk Assessment

Overall, more than half of CMPort's subsidiaries are classified as high-risk with respect to physical risks. Collectively, the subsidiaries exhibit relatively low dependence on ecosystem provisioning, regulating and supporting services (enabling services) and cultural services, while showing higher dependence on ecosystem regulating services (mitigation services), reflecting that the Company's overall operations are significantly affected by climate change. The subsidiaries generally exhibit a high-risk level of impact on ecosystems, indicating that the Company's operations require particular attention to avoid and mitigate disturbances and impacts on the ecological environment in terms of changes in land, freshwater and marine use, forest and vegetation cover, and pollution.

Among the subsidiaries, CICT and NPH are classified as low-risk, while other subsidiaries are at a medium-to-high risk level. Specifically, China Merchants Port (South China) Management Center, China Merchants Port (South China) Bulk Cargo Management Center, Zhangzhou Port, Xia Men Bay Terminals, CMBL and CMCS all have the same physical risk score. These 6 subsidiaries have a high degree of reliance on ecosystem regulation services (particularly regarding the moderating effects of tropical cyclones) and exert significant pressure on ecosystems (particularly through their impact on forest vegetation), all of which indicate that their physical risk is at a high level.

2. Reputational Risk Assessment

Overall, more than half of CMPort's subsidiaries are classified as high-risk in terms of reputational risk. Collectively, the subsidiaries face high reputational risk levels arising from both environmental and socio-economic factors, with risk drivers centering on potential reputational risks arising from development and construction in ecologically sensitive areas, relations with local residents, and labor/human rights issues. This indicates that the Company should proactively strengthen ecosystem compensation and restoration within port areas, maintain close ties with local communities, actively address community concerns, and ensure effective labor compliance management to avoid negative public sentiment.

Table 7 Risk Assessment of CMPort's Subsidiaries

Table 7 Risk Assessment of CMPort's Subsidiaries (Continued)

To effectively manage nature-related risks and opportunities, CMPort has combined the assessment results of the WWF BRF to identify potential nature-related dependencies and impacts, evaluate their effects on the Company's business operations and financial position, and formulate and implement proactive response measures.

Table 9 Identification and Response to Nature-related Opportunities

(4) Ecosystem and Biodiversity Conservation Strategy

In alignment with the United Nations Convention on Biolo_gical Diversit_y, the from the high-level meetings of the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15), the Glas_gow Leaders ^' Declaration on Forests and Land Use from the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), and the O_pinions on Further jointly issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, CMPort is committed to building green ports and eco-friendly ports, engaging in responsible business practices and ecological protection activities, and striving to become a benchmark for ecosystem and biodiversity protection in the port industry.

The Company revised its Biodivers it and Zero Deforestation Statement in 2025 and made the following commitments:

1. The Company shall comply with the laws and regulations on biodiversity and zero deforestation in the countries and regions where it operates, ensuring lawful and compliant operations;

2. The Company shall not conduct production or business operations within ecologically sensitive areas, such as nature reserves, key marine ecological functional zones, and ecological protection red lines, as designated by international organizations or the countries and regions in which it operates; 3. The Company shall avoid business activities that damage the ecological environment or have a negative impact on local biodiversity;

3. The Company shall avoid business activities that damage the ecological environment or have a negative impact on local biodiversity;

4. The Company protects and restores environmental areas affected by port activities, and takes all necessary measures to minimize the negative impact of port and logistics park operations on the ecological environment;

5. The Company's business operations do not involve deforestation. We prohibit illegal development within designated forest conservation areas in the countries and regions where we operate, and we actively participate in tree-planting and afforestation initiatives and support forest restoration activities.

To fulfil the above commitments, the Company has formulated ecosystem and biodiversity conservation strategies tailored to its actual operations and is actively promoting their implementation. The main strategies and measures are as follows:

1. We apply the principles of avoidance, mitigation, compensation and conservation to protect rare wild flora and fauna and their natural habitats. Specifically, this includes:

(1) Conducting comprehensive assessments of potential impacts on the ecosystem and local communities during the site selection and planning stages of new, refurbishment and expansion projects; prioritizing design and construction solutions that minimize local environmental disturbance, particularly avoiding adverse impacts on key biodiversity conservation areas;

(2) Conducting biodiversity baseline surveys and assessments prior to the implementation of new, refurbishment, expansion and acquisition projects; stipulating reasonable working hours; ensuring the proper management of waste generated from terminal operations, maintenance, development and construction; and establishing and implementing strict waste disposal procedures and systems at all operational sites to monitor the surrounding

environment, ensuring that construction and operational processes meet ecological conservation requirements;

(3) Scientifically implement ecological compensation measures, such as habitat restoration and restocking, in operational areas affected by disturbance to restore ecosystem functions; continuously survey, monitor and assess the ecological status of areas surrounding operational zones; and formulate targeted management plans based on the findings.

(4) Support local public welfare activities for ecological and environmental protection; collaborate with environmental organizations and communities to resolve local environmental conflicts; enhance ecosystem service levels; and focus on the survival of local endangered species and the protection of forest vegetation.

2. Integrating Nature-based Solutions (NbS)¹⁰ into biodiversity conservation, supporting ecological restoration, addressing climate change risks, and achieving triple benefits for the economy, environment and society.

When carrying out biodiversity work, the Company comprehensively considers, through systematic solutions, the positive benefits of projects for climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as for the development of local communities.

3. We optimize land use to minimize land disturbance.

The Company promotes multi-dimensional spatial utilization, increases green space at operational sites, minimizes the impact on natural land as far as possible, and carries out land restoration work in accordance with local conditions to create the basic conditions for local biodiversity conservation.

4. Land reclamation activities are prohibited within ecological red line zones clearly defined by national laws and regulations unless the necessary filing and approval procedures have been completed in accordance with these laws and regulations.

Port development and construction must complete the relevant filing and approval procedures in accordance with the law. Where port development and construction involve the occupation of natural shorelines, corresponding ecological restoration and compensation measures must be implemented in accordance with the law.

5. We actively promote the concepts of biodiversity conservation and zero deforestation, and organize training activities on ecosystem and biodiversity conservation for both internal and external stakeholders.

The Company is committed to enhancing the awareness and professional understanding of biodiversity conservation among all staff, and encourages labor subcontractors, suppliers and other relevant parties to assess and manage the biodiversity risks associated with their business activities and to implement mitigation measures.

6. Strengthening international exchange and cooperation on biodiversity conservation.

The Company will strengthen cooperation with environmental regulatory authorities, international organizations, non-profit organizations and third-party professional research institutions in the regions where it operates, to jointly carry out ecological conservation work.

Case: Zhanjiang Port Carries out 6 Rounds of Proliferation and Release Activity

To further strengthen the conservation of aquatic biological resources and restore the marine ecological environment, in accordance with the requirements of Notice of the General Office of the Ministr_y of A_gr iculture and Rural Affairs on Further Clarifying Matters Related to the Protection and Compensation of Aguatic Biological Resources for Fishery-Related Construction Projects (N. B. Y. [2018]No. 50) and Reply Letter Providing Opinions of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the Implementation Plan for Stock Enhancement and Release for Phase I Expansion Project of the Container Terminal Baoman Port Area, Zhanjiang Port, the Phase I expansion project of the Container Terminal at Baoman Port Area, Zhanjiang Port carried out 6 batches of proliferation and release activity in the sea area near Zhanjiang Port. Under the guidance of the Zhanjiang Ocean and Fishery Bureau, Zhanjiang Port implemented proliferation and release activities in the sea area of Zhanjiang Port on 6 occasions on 23 May, 30 May, 18 June, 30 June, 11 July and 18 July of 2025, for the Phase I expansion project of the Container Terminal at Baoman Port Area, Zhanjiang Port. A total of 33.40 million black seabream, 84.67 million kuruma prawns, 49.11 million blood cockles, 80.96 million Paphia undulata, and 0.26 million Chinese horseshoe crabs were released, effectively improving the marine ecological environment of Zhanjiang Port and protecting aquatic biodiversity.

Case: New Construction Project of Shantou Port Plans Ecological Restoration Compensation Scheme in Advance

Prior to the implementation of the Phase III project in the Guang'ao Port Area of Shantou Port, a survey of the current status of the marine ecosystem and ecological monitoring were conducted. A comprehensive assessment was conducted to evaluate the nature-related impacts of the project on the marine ecosystem during both the construction and operational phases. Based on the assessment results, the " Im_plementation Plan for Mar ine Ecolo_gical Protection and Restoration for the Phase Ill Project in the Guang'ao Port Area of Shantou Port" was formulated, with plans to invest over RMB 20 million to support ecological restoration and compensation measures in 3 areas, namely shoreline restoration, stock enhancement and release, and the deployment of artificial reefs.

HIPG Ecological Management Facilitates the Formation of Microecosystems in Artificial Reefs

baseline study conducted in collaboration with the University of Maritime Sciences and Technology, Sri Lanka. The study found that the artificial reefs formed beneath the port's breakwaters have now become one of the most biodiverse coral reefs in southern Sri Lanka, with a live coral coverage of 35%, far exceeding the local average of less than 20% and are home to more than eight species of fish endemic to the region. The study indicates that, compared to nearby natural reef areas, this site exhibits a higher diversity of reef-dwelling fish, and demonstrates that appropriate ecological management during port construction can foster the thriving development of "artificial habitats". These findings not only enhance public awareness of the port's underwater ecology but also provide a scientific basis for developing future biodiversity conservation and ecotourism plans for the port.

Case: TCP Organizes "Environmental Kayaking" Event

In May 2025, TCP organized the Remada Ambiental "Environmental Kayaking" event. The event took place on the Itiberê River, with 73 volunteers (including staff and local residents) using kayaks, canoes and boats to clean up litter along the river, ultimately collecting 988 kg of waste, of which 188 kg of recyclables were sorted and handed over to a local recycling cooperative for processing. The event also featured specially designed environmental education activities for parents and children, including waste sorting games, storytelling and face painting, aimed at fostering early awareness of environmental protection among children. This initiative is part of TCP's "Internal Environment Week" (SIMA), which aims to raise awareness among staff and the community regarding the ecological value of rivers. Through regular river clean-ups and the promotion of environmental education, the project contributes to the protection of the aquatic ecosystems of the Itiberê River and its downstream area, Paranaguá Bay.

Case: CICT Announces Marine Environmental Protection Initiative

On World Maritime Day 2025 (observed on the last Thursday of September), CICT issued an official statement emphasizing that "the ocean is not merely a trade route, but a lifeline for humanity, the economy and the planet", and called on employees and partners to protect the marine environment through responsible port operations, emissions reduction, equipment electrification and innovative measures. This public announcement reaffirms the company's commitment to aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (particularly SDG 14: Life Below Water), encouraging all sectors of society to prioritize the blue economy, clean oceans and ESG management.

Case: LCT Carries out a Mangrove Double-compensation Planting and Sea Turtle Protection Program

To minimise the nature-related impact of the dock construction project, LCT committed to a double-compensation planting plan for mangrove areas removed during the project, meaning "remove one, replant two." For this purpose, LCT partnered with local environmental organizations to jointly cultivate mangrove seedlings and continue planting in suitable areas along multiple lakeshores. In actively fulfilling ecological environmental responsibilities, LCT, starting from October 2012, has partnered with professional partners, annual funding special funds for sea turtle protection and rescue efforts along the Togo coastline. The project includes nurturing and releasing juvenile turtles, regularly monitoring changes in the state of nature in sea turtle habitats, and conducting rescue operations for adult sea turtles.

III. Risk and Impact Management

(1) Management of nature-related dependencies,

impacts, risks and opportunities

As an active participant in the development of the marine economy, CMPort adopts the LEAP approach to manage nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities in accordance with the four stages of Locate, Evaluate, Assess and Prepare.

Regarding direct operational activities, the Company clearly defines its industry sector, core business and geographical scope of operations. It utilizes domestic and international biodiversity and nature reserve databases to identify key species and ecologically sensitive areas in the vicinity of the Company's headquarters and subsidiaries. It employs tools developed by international organizations to assess the Company's nature-related dependencies and impacts, and identifies nature-related risks and opportunities based on the Company's actual operational circumstances, and actively implements responsive measures. Regarding upstream and downstream value chain activities, the Company has mapped the industries and activity types within its core value chains. Based on the characteristics of these, we analyze their nature-related dependencies and impacts. By considering the Company's cooperation with key participants in the upstream and downstream value chains, the Company identifies nature-related risks and opportunities within value chain activities and actively implements collaborative response measures.

(2) Integration of nature-related risks into corporate

risk management

CMPort regularly conducts risk assessment activities, with the scope covering departments at the Company's headquarters and its subsidiaries. Based on the actual circumstances of the annual operational context and adhering to the fundamental principles of truthfulness and objectivity, the Company focuses on assessing risk factors that affect annual operational objectives. We identify major risks faced by the Company, including strategic, market, financial, legal and compliance, operational, and ESG risks, thereby informing decision-making references for the Company's risk management decision-making. CMPort has incorporated nature-related risks into the Company's annual top ten risk assessment process and established a routine risk monitoring mechanism.

Table 10 CMPort's Nature-related Risk Management Process

IV. Metrics and Targets

Based on the aforementioned analysis of dependencies and impacts, the Company faces significant nature-related risks associated with climate change, environmental pollution, and the use of land, freshwater and marine resources. Consequently, the Company has established sustainability-related indicators and targets for areas with concentrated risks, with a view to strengthening risk management, adopting environmentally friendly business practices, and diligently fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities.
