production and storage logistics or recycling by third-party companies it helps reduce environmental pollution.In 2024 the company has recycled 3000 tons of waste cardboard boxes.Circular Logistics Vehicles
The company recycles logistics carriers such as pallets and turnover boxes to reduce the resource consumption
required for producing new carriers extend the lifespan of carriers and avoid waste caused by idle self-
purchased carriers.Rainwater Reuse
In some of the company's parks a rainwater and wastewater separation system is adopted where rainwater is collected via the rainwater pipeline network or rainwater recycling equipment and then discharged into the regional
rainwater pipeline network. During project construction we incorporate various Low Impact Development (LID) facilities in sponge city designs such as ecological retention facilities (including rain gardens) and retention-type grass
swales. Rain gardens collect rainwater by adjusting the relationship between pavement greenways and rainwater elevation using sandy soil with geosynthetic materials to ensure water retention capacity and installing permeable
blind pipes in impermeable facility layers. Retention-type grass swales collect convey and treat rainwater by planting vegetation in surface ditches. During the reporting period approximately 3500 tons of rainwater were reused at the
company's headquarters park.

Climate Change Tackling
Currently addressing climate change has become a common task for all mankind. LBX Pharmacy continues to closely monitor changes in climate-related policies laws and regulations initially identifying "addressing climate change"
as a key topic while focusing on the risks and opportunities associated with this issue. The company formulates reasonable response plans by combining external environmental changes with its internal development status.Climate Risk Management
In 2024 the company proactively responded to climate change by selecting scenarios from the "AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023" (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
of the United Nations. These scenarios include a low emission scenario (SSP 1-2.6 where temperature increase does not exceed 2.0℃ ) and a high emission scenario (SSP 5-8.5 where temperature rises
close to or exceeds 4.4℃ ) to assess physical risks. Additionally the company evaluates transition risks and climate-related opportunities based on "Net Zero Emissions by 2050" (NZE temperature increase
not exceeding 1.5℃ ) and "Established Policies Scenario" (STEPS temperature increase exceeding 3℃ ).Risk and Impact Financial Impact Analysis under Different Climate Scenarios
