52-532025 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTwww.omnescapital.comto make responsible site selection a core feature of Lithosquare%u2019s value proposition, rather than an add-on.On the environmental side, near-term priorities center on establishing a baseline measurement framework for Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, with initial milestones targeted for the current year and a more comprehensive framework, encompassing Scope3, expected to be operational by 2027. Scope 3 will also be incorporated into the company's partner and supplier selection criteria, reflecting a commitment to extending its environmental accountability across the value chain. Operational measures already in place include the procurement of refurbished IT equipment and the adoption of basic but scalable internal sustainability guidelines. Social and Governance Commitments Lithosquare has placed a strong emphasis on equity, diversity, and value-sharing as foundational social principles. In line with ORT 2%u2019s commitments to align with SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), the company has implemented a BSPCE (employee share option) scheme designed to ensure broad participation in value creation across the team; this policy is actively encouraged by Omnes. Compensation grids have been constructed with explicit reference to equal pay and diversity objectives, and recruitment efforts have targeted groups that are underrepresented in the mining and geoscience sectors. The team of 22 already includes more than five nationalities, reflecting the company%u2019s ambition to build an internationally diverse organization from its earliest stages. On governance, Lithosquare operates with a strong culture of transparency, and diversity of professional experience is treated as a strategic priority in team composition; this focus has been reinforced through its partnership with Omnes. Omnes' Role and Impact Omnes has played a structuring role in the development of Lithosquare%u2019s Social and Governance approach, bringing both frameworks and active engagement to bear on key operational priorities. Drawing on a strong impact investment thesis, Omnes has provided some of the primary-source reference material that has informed Lithosquare%u2019s internal ESG structuring and has engaged directly on topics including diversity, governance, compensation policy, and value-sharing. The partnership has had tangible outcomes. Several key hires were made; they were the result of the ambitions and positioning that Omnes helped shape, particularly around compensation equity and employee ownership. More broadly, Omnes has served as a trusted sounding board for a founding team navigating a high volume of simultaneous decisions, providing the external perspective and institutional rigor that early-stage companies often require to develop sustainably. For Lithosquare%u2019s management, having an investor that brings not only capital but the right advisory framework has been instrumental in enabling the company to scale rapidly while maintaining alignment with its values. Over the next 24 months, a series of foundational operational decisions on emissions measurement, partner selection, product capability, and team development are expected to have a disproportionately positive impact on the company%u2019s ESG maturity and long-term trajectory.
