Before Restoration (for illustration purpose) Restored Land (for illustration purpose) BIODIVERSITY GRI 3-3, 304-1, 413-1 Policies, Procedures, and Practices Biodiversity is identified as a material sustainability issue for Geo Energy, given the potential impacts of mining activities on surrounding ecosystems. The Group is committed to minimising its environmental footprint and managing biodiversity-related risks through robust environmental management practices, and with reference to ISO 14001:2015 as the guidance. To mitigate biodiversity impacts, the Group has implemented a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with ISO 14001:2015, complemented by an integrated Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). Together, these systems support the identification, assessment and management of biodiversity risks, while contributing to improved ecosystem outcomes, reduced operational risks and enhanced overall business performance. The Group’s mining operations in Indonesia, including those undertaken by contractors, are strategically located to avoid protected areas and regions of high biodiversity value. By prioritising site selection outside environmentally sensitive areas, the Group seeks to minimise ecological disruption. Where environmental impacts are unavoidable, appropriate mitigation and remediation measures are applied to protect biodiversity to the greatest extent practicable. Post-mining land rehabilitation forms a key component of the Group’s biodiversity management strategy. The Group enters into agreements with landowners to temporarily use land for mining purposes and to return the land upon completion of operations. During mining activities, topsoil is carefully excavated and stored for subsequent rehabilitation, preserving soil quality and fertility. The Group works closely with contractors to implement industry standard reclamation practices, with the objective of restoring landscapes and revitalising a!ected ecosystems. Performance and Initiatives In 2025, no revegetation activities were carried out as none of the Group’s projects had entered the post-mining or rehabilitation phase. Continuous Improvements Geo Energy remains dedicated to managing and minimising the ecological impacts associated with its operations. The Group will continue to implement responsible land rehabilitation practices following mining activities and to enhance stakeholder engagement through adherence to sound environmental stewardship principles. These initiatives support the Group’s objective of achieving sustainable business outcomes while contributing to the protection of biodiversity for future generations. 22 GEO ENERGY | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025
