Moreover, as part of the enhancements made on our governance framework and Board charter, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (now called Remuneration, Nomination and Sustainability Committee) has been assigned responsibility for ESG matters, reflecting Ooredoo's strong focus on sustainability and its commitment to corporate social responsibility. [...] ESG working groups have been established across all OpCOs, ensuring a structured approach to sustainability management. The following examples illustrate some of the initiatives undertaken by different OpCOs: [...] Oman: The Board of Directors oversees the sustainability strategy, while a dedicated Sustainability Committee sets targets and tracks progress. ESG performance is measured through KPIs, with regular reporting to the board to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, executive compensation and employee incentives are linked to sustainability performance, reinforcing alignment between financial rewards and ESG achievements. This integrated approach strengthens risk management and drives long‑term sustainability impact. [...] Furthermore, in 2024, we ensured that, starting in 2025, four key Chief Officers–Chief HR and Sustainability, Chief Legal, Regulatory & Governance Officer, Chief Technology, and Chief Finance– in the Group and across all OpCOs have sustainability‑linked KPIs tied to performance and pay. This initiative strengthens accountability and reinforces the commitment to integrating ESG considerations at the executive level.

Sustainability Governance
With regards to Board oversight on sustainability issues, the Ooredoo Group is putting more emphasis on environmental, social and governance issues by making sure that all Board members are aware of related strategies and risks. All Group Boards have an Audit and Risk Committee that reviews all sustainability issues facing the company. Moreover, our Enterprise Risk Management function is expanding the consideration of those risks posed by environmental and societal trends as well as changing stakeholder expectations, and directly reporting those to the Board Audit and Risk Committees. A dedicated ESG Team is currently working on a process to integrate sustainability into regular Board level reviews.
