Lecta, aligned with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and working to ensure its full implementation

Lecta is fully aware that wood —the raw material used to manufacture our products— is a renewable resource sourced from forests and forest plantations. Protecting these natural areas is essential for the global CO2 cycle and for our planet. The responsible sourcing of wood and wood-derived products, within the framework of a Chain of Custody system that ensures the traceability of these raw materials, is the foundation of our operations.In keeping with these principles, Lecta is fully aligned with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) goals to combat deforestation and forest degradation in supply chains. At Lecta, we have been actively working for some time to comply with the strict requirements of the EUDR across the entire Group as of December 30, 2025.The EUDR is a crucial step by the European Union in its efforts to fight deforestation and poses a significant challenge for all stakeholders involved. To better understand this new regulation, its implications, and how Lecta is preparing for its implementation, we have provided our customers with a document outlining <a href="https://cmspro.lecta.com/Certificates/LectaEUDR_en.pdf" target="_blank">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the EUDR</a>, available on Lecta's website.At Lecta, we remain committed to constant improvement to help create a more sustainable world.For more information about Lecta's commitment to sustainability, please visit <a href="/en">www.lecta.com</a>

Lecta publishes its 2024 Sustainability Report

With sustainability as a core aspect of our business strategy, Lecta's <a href="https://_cmssite/DownloadAreaDocuments/Lecta2024SustainabilityReport.pdf" target="_blank"> 2024 Sustainability Report</a> again underscores the company's progress in meeting targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) defined for 2030 in its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) roadmap.As part of its firm commitment to sustainability, Lecta details its contribution to 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) to promote more sustainable and responsible growth."Lecta has made significant progress in sustainability this year, earning external recognition from organizations like EcoVadis and SBTi. As we continue working toward the environmental, social and governance targets set out in our roadmap for 2030, Lecta remains focused on generating a positive impact. Our efforts are driven by a clear vision: creating a more sustainable future for the next generations", states Lecta CEO Gilles Van Nieuwenhuyzen. At the environmental level, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validation of our targets to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, represents a key step forward in Lecta's decarbonization strategy and actions to fight climate change. Meanwhile, the platinum medal obtained in EcoVadis' rigorous sustainability rating, puts Lecta in the top 1% of the best-performing companies assessed on the platform, and is an important recognition of our efforts to meet ESG criteria.The report also provides detailed information about the areas of social and governance, highlighting the absolute priority the company places on employee health and safety across the entire Group.In addition, Lecta's close collaboration with its suppliers and their commitment to sustainability are vital for advancing together on this journey. Last year saw the implementation of a Code of Conduct for suppliers which, combined with the Code of Ethics and our new Sustainability Policy, is the cornerstone of Lecta's business ethics principles."Creating harmony" is the theme of Lecta's 2024 Sustainability Report. This concept, and the analogy with music, as a unique expression of talent, expertise, coordination, precision, and creativity, help convey the message that every team member is important, regardless of the task they perform. Just as in a large orchestra all the notes come together in perfect harmony to create the precision of a piece of music.We invite all our customers, employees, suppliers and stakeholders to find out more about our achievements in the <a href="https://_cmssite/DownloadAreaDocuments/Lecta2024SustainabilityReport.pdf" target="_blank"> 2024 Sustainability Report</a> at <a href="/en">www.lecta.com</a>, and we thank them for their commitment and cooperation in helping us create a more sustainable world.
