Paws for thought

When we first embarked on the rigorous certification process that brought us into the B Corp family, we understood that this independent, in-depth review of every aspect of our business would allow us to remain true to our purpose and continue to evolve alongside our partners and stakeholders. Now, having successfully recertified, we are proud to demonstrate the tangible progress we’ve made while remaining committed to continuous improvement. Over the past three years, we have worked diligently to build upon our initial certification, striving to enhance our impact across all areas of our business. This year (2024), our recertification process has reinforced our focus on accountability, transparency, and responsibility – values that remain at the heart of both our mission and our B Corp journey. In 2024, like many businesses, we have continued to navigate complex global supply chain challenges and shifting market conditions. However, our resilience has enabled us to not only overcome these obstacles but also achieve significant milestones: • Successfully completing our first B Corp recertification, reaffirming our commitment to ongoing improvement. • Maintaining double-digit year-on-year growth, demonstrating our ability to thrive in a dynamic landscape.

As we move forward, we remain deeply aware that being a B Corp is not just a certification – it is a commitment to pushing ourselves further every day. The challenges of an ever-changing world provide us with even greater opportunities to lead with purpose. It is an honour to lead a B Corp business, and with that comes the responsibility to uphold the high standards that certification represents. The entire MPM team remains dedicated to that journey, ensuring that we continue to make a meaningful impact on our people, our communities, and our planet.

A proud B Corp We know that a B Corp has to be committed to continuous improvement. Since receiving our accreditation in 2021, we’ve worked hard to embed the B Corp Impact Assessment into our business, evaluating our practices in relation to governance, our people, our community, the environment and our customers. It may sound dry, but what that means in practice is amazing. In short we’re committed to earning the trust of all of our partners – suppliers, customers, and our own people – because we know using business as a force for good has the power to change the world for the better. Not just for us, but for the pets we love too.

B Corps are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers community, and the environment.

B Corps have a framework to measure progress against. The standards are reviewed every three years.

Meet our senior team...

Meet our investors... Being transparent about our investors is important to us and we’re proud to be backed by 3i. Founded in 1945, 3i’s original purpose was to contribute to rebuilding post-war Britain by providing growth capital to small businesses. The responsibility that came with that original purpose still guides their behaviour today. 3i itself is a small organisation with a limited direct impact on the environment and sustainability. But their impact on the environment and society is amplified through 3i’s portfolio of investee companies. 3i invests selectively in a few businesses each year, carefully considering the environmental and social impact of investee companies’ activities, and the consequences of its actions on stakeholders. 3i has built a strong reputation by investing responsibly, and by operating according to high standards of conduct and behaviour. This has been achieved through a focus on strong governance both at 3i and its investee companies, and through the implementation of 3i’s approach to Responsible Investment. Sustainability - 3i Group - 3i Group plc Investing in our people In 2022 we introduced a Long-Term Investment Plan (LTIP) scheme across the business for our people. All full or part time employees who’ve been with the business for at least 12 months can benefit from the equity value of MPM, helping us attract, reward and motivate our people.

Innovation at the core...

Our recipe for success

We are proud to continue the legacy of our co-founders, who believed pet food should be free from artificial additives and fillers. They knew there had to be a better way - and we do too. In 2024, we continued our strong track record of bringing exciting innovation to market. Our incredible teams, who work cross-functionally in bringing new products to pet parents all over the world, made it a record year for ensuring their beloved pets could enjoy MPM’s signature high quality, natural products in a variety of new ways. The expansion of our range included not just new flavours, but also entry into new categories, expanding our appeal by including new offerings across life-stages, cat hydration (broths) and a variety of treat formats. 2024 also marked a major milestone with the successful execution of the Applaws rebrand across all our markets, reinforcing our leadership in the natural premium cat food

segment. Our new look delighted both our loyal shopper base and continues to attract new shoppers into the brand. As a proud B Corp, sustainability remains a top priority for our team and this year’s recertification reaffirmed our commitment to responsible business practices. We consider everything from design to potential supply chain efficiencies across all our projects so that we can continue our efforts to reduce packaging and further minimise our impact on the environment.

Responsible packaging continued...

While recyclability for these materials remains a global challenge, we’re committed to finding sustainable alternatives.

Retortable packaging Introduced lightweight & generic pouches. Testing phase of 100% mono substrate retort pouches.

Puréed sachets Introduced foil sachets. Gathering samples on mono substrate solutions.

Pots/cups Pot & sleeve 100% recyclable. Peelable lid in testing phase.

We’ve been working with top packaging manufacturers since August 2023 and initiated our first testing phase in January 2024. If successful, we aim to introduce new recyclable retort solutions during 2026. We will continue to monitor packaging innovations, regulations, and shopper requirements - innovating responsibly to reduce waste while maintaining product quality and safety for pets.

Responsible packaging continued... Scoping projects As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and waste reduction, we recognise the need for innovative packaging solutions. While we transition towards more recyclable materials, our initial commitment to high-volume packaging requires us to responsibly deplete existing stocks. This ensures minimal waste and prevents unnecessary landfill disposal.

Dry packaging Not currently recyclable - mixed plastic materials.

Puree variety pack Not currently recyclable - mixed plastic materials.

Corporate responsibility focus areas (ESG)

Challenges we faced • Supply chain issues: increased global shipping complexities, leading to higher air freight usage in 2024. • Tariff increases: potential cost impacts for both our company and consumers. Our key focus areas • Ingredient traceability: ensuring transparency in sourcing and country of origin for all 161 tier-one ingredients. • Data optimisation: investing in an in-house data team to improve data accuracy and support STBi aligned target setting. • Climate risk analysis: partnered with our investors and PwC to assess and mitigate risks. • Human rights review: conducting deep-dive assessment based on our manufacturing locations with 3rd party consultants.

As a global company, we prioritise fostering in-person connections while also addressing climate change and protecting biodiversity. Despite business growth challenges, we remain committed to minimising emissions. We continue to enhance our measurement and monitoring capabilities, setting carbon goals aligned with science-based targets and collaborating with suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint.

This analysis helps MPM safeguard ingredient availability and respond to growing shopper expectations around sustainability.

MPM’s climate risk assessment found low transitional risk , with only minor changes expected from evolving regulations and growing demand for sustainable products. We’re already acting - reducing waste and improving ingredient sustainability. Some supply sites - particularly in South East Asia - face higher physical risks , including heat, drought, and heavy rainfall. In response, we’re strengthening supplier partnerships, increasing oversight, revising business continuity plans, and using dual sourcing to reduce disruption. A medium opportunity has been identified to improve resilience by advancing our near-sourcing strategy - projects to increase local and regional sourcing are already underway.

GHG emissions (CO2e) overview A decarbonised society

In 2024, MPM Products began collecting GHG Emissions (CO2e) under Scope 1, 2 & 3, relative to their operational model. Mobile combustion Data is based on MPM Products Ltd HQ location (UK). The data that falls under our Scope 1 Emissions is that of “leased vehicles”. Using our base line year 2022 a reduction of 15% can be seen. However, once we incorporate our Scope 3 emissions within our SBTi we expect to see an increase. Offsetting 100% of Scope 1 emissions have been fully offset through a range of verified carbon credit programs.

GHG emissions (CO2e) overview Business travel (off site)

Scope 3 - Business Travel (Off Site)

This data reflects any travel (air, rail, car) and hotel bookings made by MPM Products Ltd employees through our UK travel partner. As a global business, face-to-face meetings with suppliers and regional offices are essential to fostering our culture and building brand trust. In 2024, these visits increased, resulting in a 53% rise in air travel emissions compared to the base line year 2022. Offsetting 100% of Scope 3 emissions have been offset through our travel partner’s portfolio of verified carbon credit programs. We specifically selected the Duich Moss project - an initiative that protects local peatlands near our HQ - enabling us to visit and verify the impact of the program firsthand.

Our commitment to sustainability includes continuously measuring and monitoring our emissions. We recognise that Business Travel currently accounts for all our Scope 3 emissions, which is why we support Duich Moss as part of our carbon offset strategy. Since 2018, we have worked with our long-term global travel partner to enhance travel data and promote more sustainable choices. For emissions we cannot eliminate, we carefully selected the Duich Moss carbon credit program in 2023, accredited by the IUCN Peatland Code. This initiative allows us to offset our impact while contributing to cleaner water, flood prevention, and a healthier ecosystem within our region.

Offsetting emissions

Duich Moss is a significant peatland restoration project on Islay, situated between the River Laggan and north of the Duich River. Restoration efforts here are crucial to rewetting the area, reversing erosion, and safeguarding its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The final word Sustainable growth is essential for any business, but as a proud B Corp, we know that true progress goes beyond financial performance. In 2024, MPM achieved remarkable milestones, including a 10% increase on our first B Corp recertification, multiple brand refreshes, and the successful global launch of numerous NPD lines - all while navigating the complexities of evolving market regulations, from on-pack claims to EPR packaging and pet food compliance. Our commitment to B Corp principles remains central to our strategy. Each improvement we make strengthens our ability to balance business success with positive impact - on pets, people, and the planet. This recertification is more than a score; it’s a reflection of our ongoing efforts to raise the bar across all areas of our business. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our MPM team. Their hard work, passion, and relentless drive continue to shape us into the business we aspire to be, one that leads with purpose and acts as a force for good.
