A message from our CEO
Said Darwazah, Chief Executive Officer
I’m pleased to present Hikma’s Sustainability Report for 2025. Over the past year, we have continued to make meaningful progress on our sustainability agenda, guided by our purpose of putting better health within reach, every day. By operating within our sustainability framework and focusing on our four pillars, we are supporting the long-term success of our business while delivering on our responsibilities to patients, colleagues, communities and other stakeholders. We maintain our firm commitment to upholding the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
Access to medicine remains at the heart of our sustainability strategy. Across our global operations, teams work collaboratively to ensure high‑quality medicines are consistently available to those who need them, while continuing to introduce new treatments that address evolving patient needs. In 2025, our investments in manufacturing capacity, product development and partnerships strengthened our ability to improve access and provide reliable supply in the markets we serve.
Strengthening our foundations
During the year, we continued the evolution of our sustainability framework following input from our Double Materiality Assessment, ensuring that our priorities remain aligned with both our business strategy and stakeholder expectations. Advancing health and wellbeing continues to be our most material area, encompassing access to medicines, product quality and patient safety, and our wider social responsibility initiatives.
Our commitment to operating responsibly is further reinforced by our recently issued Human Rights Statement, which affirms our endorsement of the right to health and outlines our approach to safeguarding fundamental human rights across our value chain. Acting with integrity and transparency remains central to how we do business.
Empowering our people
Our people are our most valuable asset. Early in 2026, we completed our latest People Voice Survey, which highlighted strong levels of engagement and provided clear insight into how we can continue to enhance the employee experience. This feedback helps shape our approach to wellbeing, development and inclusion, and supports our ambition to foster a culture of progress and belonging across the Group.
Protecting the environment
Environmental sustainability remains an important focus area. Water is a critical resource for Hikma, both because of its importance in pharmaceutical manufacturing and because we operate in several water‑scarce regions. During the year, we took further steps to improve water efficiency and established a long‑term target focused on the efficient use of water at our MENA sites.
We also continue to pursue energy efficiency initiatives and clean energy alternatives where feasible. Progress towards our 2030 Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction target remains on track, and we are actively evaluating options for our carbon reduction strategy beyond 2030.
Looking ahead
As expectations, regulations and stakeholder priorities continue to evolve, we remain focused on strengthening our sustainability performance and enhancing transparency. We will continue to develop meaningful KPIs that allow us to track progress across our most material topics and support long‑term value creation.
I would like to thank our colleagues for their continued dedication and our stakeholders for their ongoing support as we work together to act responsibly and shape a healthier world.

Determining what is material
In 2025, we conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and EFRAG’s ESRS guidance. The insights gained from the DMA shape our approach to sustainability and ensure its full alignment with our Company purpose and the priorities of our stakeholders.
Through the assessment, we identified and prioritised sustainability topics that are significant to our financial performance (financial materiality) and those that have a material impact on stakeholders, including our people, the environment and society (impact materiality).
The DMA process has helped us refine and prioritise our sustainability framework and strategy; putting access to health and wellbeing at the centre of our approach and increasing our focus on delivering these through the introduction of new metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
In 2025, revisions to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) were considered, which amended disclosure requirements, guidance and timelines for adoption. Hikma is actively monitoring these revisions and assessing changes to ensure alignment with all current and future reporting requirements. We expect reporting in alignment with CSRD to become mandatory for the Group in 2028, given the revised Omnibus directive that altered timelines and requirements for companies reporting on the framework.
The DMA was led by our Sustainability Team, with significant input from leaders and teams across all functions and geographies and was overseen by the Board through the CREC.
The assessment considered our business model, Company purpose, upstream and downstream value chain, and key stakeholder insights. The DMA also considered regional and sector-specific factors, the key sustainability priorities of our peers, as well as current and anticipated regulatory requirements. The methodology used for conducting this DMA is aligned with the ESRS standards for the application of the EU CSRD. Topics that are identified as material through the DMA process are defined internally as Hikma Sustainability Topics (HSTs).

Spotlight on: Establishing long-term commitments to invest in local manufacturing capabilities in the US
For more than three decades, we have invested deeply in the United States to help meet America’s growing need for high quality, domestically manufactured medicines. Since beginning US operations in 1991, we have committed over $4 billion; building, expanding, and strengthening our American manufacturing and R&D base.
These sustained investments have enabled us to develop, produce, and deliver a broad range of essential and complex generic medicines that are critical to patients, hospitals, and healthcare providers nationwide.
In 2025, we highlighted our commitment to invest $1 billion through 2030 in the US, specifically by investing in our local manufacturing and R&D capabilities. The initiative, ‘America Leans on Hikma: Quality Medicines Manufactured in the USA,’ builds on our long-standing foundation in Ohio and New Jersey, where we continue to increase production capacity, enhance technical capabilities, and reinforce supply reliability at a time when resilience and affordability are national priorities.
Through these investments, we now have annual domestic capacity to produce more than 12 billion finished doses of essential medicines and a US-based portfolio of more than 800 products, including over 180 sterile injectable medicines. Over the years, this scale and technical depth have allowed us to provide patients with reliable access to high-quality generic medicines at significantly lower cost than branded alternatives, helping to ease financial pressure across the healthcare system.
Onshoring production and strengthening our domestic R&D capabilities directly reduces dependence on foreign supply chains and mitigates the risk of shortages that can disrupt patient care. We have a strong track record of working collaboratively with the US FDA to maintain high quality standards and to help address critical drug shortages when they arise.
By investing at scale in American facilities, technology, and people, we are improving the reliability of supply for essential medicines while keeping them affordable for those who depend on them.
Generic medicines account for around 90% of prescriptions in the United States, yet persistent shortages and import dependencies continue to threaten access and affordability. Our continued investment in US manufacturing is how we confront those challenges head-on. Expanding capacity in Ohio and New Jersey allows us to produce large volumes of complex and essential medicines domestically, strengthening national health security and supporting patients when they need these medicines most.
At the heart of these investments is our purpose: to make high-quality medicines accessible and affordable for everyone who relies on them. By committing billions of dollars to US manufacturing and R&D – past, present, and future – we are translating that purpose into action. We are working alongside healthcare professionals, payers, and policymakers to ensure a steady, reliable supply of essential medicines, improve resilience across the healthcare system, and ultimately help patients live healthier lives.
$4bn+ invested in our US manufacturing and R&D base over the past 15 years
Spotlight on: Addressing the opioid overdose epidemic in the US and Canada
At Hikma, we have long been committed to helping address the opioid overdoes epidemic by expanding access to life saving medicines. Naloxone plays a critical role in reversing opioid overdoses and saving lives, and we continue to invest in its manufacturing and availability to support patients, families, first responders, and communities. By producing naloxone domestically and working closely with partners, we aim to improve access to this essential medicine where and when it is needed most.
Partnership to expand reach in North America
A commercial partnership with Emergent BioSolutions supports broader distribution of our naloxone nasal spray across the US and Canada. Emergent leads sales and outreach efforts, while Hikma continues to manufacture the product at our Columbus, Ohio facility. This collaboration helps strengthen access by combining US-based production with established public health and emergency response networks, supporting timely availability in community and frontline settings.
Expanding access in Canada
The approval of naloxone nasal spray in Canada expands treatment options for patients and communities affected by opioid overdose. The availability of this product supports healthcare providers, first responders, and families with an additional tool to respond to urgent overdose situations, helping improve access across different care settings and regions.
Improving readiness through longer shelf life
Our success in extending the shelf life of naloxone nasal spray from 24 to 36 months improves practicality and access for those who rely on it in emergencies. The longer shelf life reduces waste, lowers replacement costs, and helps ensure that naloxone remains available and ready for use by community organisations, first responders, and individuals who may need to act quickly to save a life.
36 month shelf life for naloxone nasal spray
Spotlight on: Using traceability to strengthen product safety and security
We continuously strengthen the safety and reliability of our medicines by using technology to improve traceability, verification, and transparency across the supply chain. Through serialisation and electronic tracking, we ensure our products can be identified, traced, and verified as they move from manufacturing to the point of care, helping protect patients from unsafe medicines.
Serialisation enables products to be securely verified within the supply chain or at the point of dispensing. These capabilities are supported by information management systems designed to help hospitals, pharmacies, and other stakeholders reduce the risk of adverse events and improve the quality and reliability of patient care.
Strengthening patient safety in the US through digital traceability
As part of our ongoing alignment with the US Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), we continue to work closely with technology and supply chain partners to strengthen compliance and supply chain resilience. In partnership with IndX and SAP, we implemented an integrated serialisation and traceability framework that provides end‑to‑end visibility across manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.
By leveraging SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals and SAP Information Collaboration Hub, we enable secure, real‑time exchange of product data with external trading partners. This approach simplifies partner onboarding, improves data quality, and allows faster response to regulatory and supply chain events. A centralised data architecture enhances visibility into product movement and compliance status, reducing the risk of disruption and supporting continued availability of medicines for patients who depend on them.

Product quality and patient safety
Patient safety is central to how we operate. We closely monitor the safety of our medicines to identify potential risks as early as possible and take appropriate action to protect patients. Through continuous safety monitoring, clear reporting processes, and strong governance, we work to ensure our medicines continue to be used safely across all markets.
4.5% Percent of revenue invested in R&D
Governance of patient safety
Clear governance ensures accountability for patient safety across the organisation. Our pharmacovigilance (PV) activities are conducted on a global scale, encompassing all our approved compounds (over 700).
Our PV Department operates globally and is coordinated through a Global PV Operations team and a PV Quality Assurance team, supported by five regional hubs:
Europe and United Kingdom.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
Levant (Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria), Libya, Sudan and Yemen
North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco)
North America (Canada and United States)
The global PV system is reinforced by a PV Quality Management System (QMS) that ensures effective governance, oversight, and continuous improvement.
The QMS is supported by an up-to-date pharmacovigilance system master files (PSMFs) and national PV sub system files, a controlled Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) framework
aligned with regulatory requirements, and compliance monitoring via deviation and Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA) management in Veeva QMS. Regular audits and continuous regulatory intelligence ensure sustained quality and compliance.
A Pharmacovigilance-Quality Committee meets quarterly to review and discuss PV compliance metrics, findings from compliance monitoring, audits, and inspections, along with the status of CAPAs. This regular review ensures continuous oversight and improvement of our PV practices.
Our multidisciplinary Drug Safety Committee (DSC) reviews safety concerns to ensure that relevant health authorities are promptly notified about any new risks that may have an impact on the benefit-risk balance of our products. This structured approach shows our commitment to keeping our products safe and effective.
In addition, to ensure strong oversight, we present our PV compliance metrics including audits and findings and relevant CAPA status to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors twice a year.
Patient safety monitoring and reporting
We maintain robust safety data collection mechanisms that integrate insights from healthcare professionals, patients and consumers, regulatory authorities, and clinical studies to support strong patient safety oversight.
Employees receive ongoing training to recognise potential safety situations and report them without delay to the pharmacovigilance team, supporting timely action and reporting to regulatory authorities within specified timelines.
Safety data are proactively reviewed to identify emerging risks and assess any changes to the benefit–risk balance of our products, enabling timely actions to notify regulatory authorities and protect patient wellbeing.
Audits and oversight of patient safety activities
Hikma maintains a PV audit programme that:
strengthens oversight of PV activities
supports regulatory compliance
reinforces our commitment to patient safety
enables proactive risk identification and management
The programme covers PV activities across:
affiliates
critical PV processes
third parties, including service providers and distributors
This approach ensures consistent global oversight and alignment with evolving regulatory expectations. In 2025, nine internal PV audits were conducted per plan following a risk-based approach. No critical findings were identified or reported. In addition, the tracking of audits, findings and related CAPAs was enhanced by utilising a validated quality management system. Moving into 2026, eight internal PV audits are planned.

The wellbeing and development of our people are at the heart of our culture. In 2025, we strengthened and expanded programmes that support the mental, physical, and emotional health of our colleagues, while also fostering their personal growth.
73% People voice survey engagement (2025)
68% People voice survey enablement (2025)
To achieve this, we introduced a more structured and integrated approach to wellbeing, ensuring it remains responsive to local needs and preferences, as identified through ongoing engagement and feedback.
Employee engagement and enablement
We maintain multiple engagement channels with employees to remain responsive to employee sentiments and improve aspectsof their wellbeing.
The latest People Voice Survey, conducted at the Group level and covering all employees, measures the sentiments and priorities of our people on issues related to wellbeing, development, inclusivity and culture.
Compared to our previous survey, engagement remained consistent, reflecting pride and commitment to our purpose. Employee enablement decreased by one percentage point, reflecting steady performance in promoting employee growth and development.
Wellbeing programmes
Our wellbeing framework is built on a holistic approach that supports every aspect of our colleagues’ lives – mental, physical, emotional, social, and financial. We recognise that true wellbeing extends beyond the workplace, which is why many of our initiatives also include support for employees’ families. This commitment goes hand in hand with our focus on inclusion and creating a psychologically safe work environment. Our initiatives focus on various aspects of wellbeing, including physical, mental, and financial health, ensuring a holistic approach to support our workforce.
Among these efforts, wellbeing days and wellbeing seminars of various topics were conducted with high participation rates across all regions. These events fostered a sense of community and brought employees together from different locations, reinforcing our dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive work environment.
Spotlight on: Supporting mental health
Across our sites, we offer employees with targeted sessions addressing topics such as stress management, work-life balance, and children’s mental health, including the impact of bullying and screen time. In Portugal, we introduced short workplace stretching routines at the People Gym to support physical wellbeing, particularly for operational teams. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering a healthier, more supportive work environment – both mentally and physically – for all employees.
Spotlight on: Hikma Honours Programme
Hikma Honours is our global peer-to-peer recognition programme that enables employees to celebrate one another by awarding digital badges aligned with our core values: Caring, Innovative, and Collaborative. Since its launch, thousands of badges have been exchanged across regions, creating a vibrant culture of appreciation and reinforcing the behaviours that make Hikma a great place to work. The programme has strengthened team morale, encouraged cross-functional recognition, and deepened the sense of connection across locations.
Spotlight on: Wellness days
In 2025, we continued to organise Wellness days for employees across multiple sites. These days provided employees with opportunities to engage in physical activities, mental health workshops, and nutrition sessions tailored to local needs. They also offered health screenings and educational resources related to key wellbeing topics, alongside activities designed to encourage participation and healthy habits. Wellness days engaged more than 600 employees across our sites.
“Our wellbeing programme focuses on providing mental, physical, social and financial support for our people.”
600+ Employees engaged in wellness days

Inclusivity
Fostering an inclusive culture among our employees contributes to our organisational effectiveness and helps to drive innovation and creativity.
Our aim is to treat everyone fairly, regardless of ethnicity, gender or other non-merit-based characteristics. We emphasise the economic empowerment of our people and have established several employee resource groups (ERGs), such as the Women’s Empowerment ERG and Black Employees ERG, that support our employees in achieving their full potential.
Spotlight on: Providing employees with pregnancy and parenting support
We support new mothers globally through maternity leave policies, nursery allowances, and dedicated wellness spaces. In 2024, we launched our first pregnancy wellness room at one of our sites, providing a calm and supportive space for expectant and new mothers.
Spotlight on: Empowering women in science
We established the Women in Science (WIS) group in 2023, with the aim of supporting women that work in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM)-related fields and providing them with opportunities to engage meaningfully with their communities. In 2025, the group focused on practical impact – supporting early talent through university partnerships, participating in external scientific forums, and contributing to community initiatives that promote careers in science. These efforts help build capability, encourage knowledge sharing, and strengthen engagement across our scientific community.
“Our Women in Science group supports women that work in STEMM-related through learning and knowledge-sharing.”

Health and safety
We prioritise the health and safety of our people and aim to exceed industry standards to ensure a safe and secure working environment.
Our Group Environmental Health and Safety policy statement describes our approach to ensuring the welfare of our people and other workers across our locations. Updated in 2024, the policy statement strengthens and standardises our approach to ensuring the wellbeing of our employees and other workers at our locations globally.
We continue to establish and refine programmes to maintain and exceed industry standards when safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our people. We are also improving how we measure and report on health and safety-related metrics, maintaining transparency and ensuring our alignment with relevant reporting frameworks. The year-on-year increase in reported cases appears to reflect the maturation of our reporting systems rather than a decline in safety or health performance. As our processes have become more structured and comprehensive, they have begun to capture a more accurate picture of actual injury rates.
For example, Portugal reported only nine and twelve lost time injuries (LTIs) in 2022 and 2023, respectively; however, as our reporting framework became more formalised, these figures increased to 22 in 2024 and 38 in 2025, indicating improved transparency and data completeness rather than a worsening safety trend. Data related to employee health and safety can be found on page 41.
In 2025, we began developing systems to capture injury and illness data from our office environments more effectively. We also implemented a centralised process to source hours worked data for both full-time and contingent workers. This improvement ensures that our metrics are accurate, consistent, and fully auditable, strengthening the reliability of our reporting and compliance efforts. These efforts will continue through 2026 to ensure we are compliant with CSRD Reporting requirement.
“We continue to establish and refine programmes to maintain and exceed industry standards when safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our people.”

Greenhouse gas emissions
We consider energy efficiency and climate change mitigation to be material topics. We continue to pursue various programmes and initiatives to reduce emissions and consume energy more efficiently. These efforts are in line with our 2030 emissions reduction target.
Our emissions reduction target
In 2021, we put in place a target to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. The target was developed using the absolute contraction approach using the Paris Climate Agreement scenario at that time.
Our performance
In 2025, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) measured 130,742 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). Compared to our base year of 2020, we have reduced our emissions by 18%. See more details about our annual emissions in the Data Summary.
To accurately track progress towards our carbon reduction targets, we adjusted our base year emissions inventory and the most recent reporting year to account for significant structural changes that took place through our acquisition of two sites in the US and Croatia. More details about our emissions restatement and reporting methodology can be found in the Annual Report 2025, page 59.
Climate change mitigation
We are continuously evaluating opportunities to transition to renewable energy in each of our three regions (North America, Europe, MENA). In our European facilities, we source 100% of our electricity from green sources. In Jordan, we have established onsite renewable energy generation that constitutes 15% of our electricity consumption in the country. We completed a 1MWp solar installation in Qasta ahead of schedule.
In addition, we have onsite renewable energy generation in Morocco, Portugal and Saudi Arabia, with our onsite renewable energy capacity increasing 354% between 2021 and 2025. We are considering further solar installations in Jordan and Cherry Hill, US, and intend to continue expanding onsite capacity in future years, in line with achieving our 2030 emissions reduction target.
Climate change adaptation
We align our internal processes and our public disclosures with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations and the mandatory reporting requirements set out in the Companies Act relating to Climate-related Financial Disclosures (CFD). We are fully aligned to nine and partially aligned to two recommendations. More about our assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities as well as our alignment with the TCFD and CFD is available in our Annual Report 2025, page 66.
Scope 3 emissions
In 2021, we started tracking our indirect Scope 3 emissions, prioritising key areas relevant to our operations. Since then, we have enhanced our calculation methodologies and the accuracy of our activity data and emission factors. Collaborating closely with suppliers, we have also gained insights into their efforts to reduce emissions.
By 2024, our efforts to improve the accuracy of our Scope 3 calculations and reporting led to significant reductions in the Purchased goods and services category. By implementing supplier-specific emission factors, we were able to use actual emissions data instead of relying on external databases, thus improving the accuracy of our reporting and better reflecting the impact of our suppliers’ decarbonisation initiatives. We have also further improved the quality of our data by transitioning more categories from a monetary-based to a quantity-based calculation approach. The overall reduction in emissions in Purchased goods and services was influenced by decreased spend and a shift towards markets with lower emission coefficients. We improved the accuracy as well of our employee commuting calculations and reporting by more precisely identifying employees using private cars versus those using Company-provided transportation (reported under Scope 2).
We also introduced emissions measurements for Categories 11: Use of sold products and 12: End of life treatment of sold products, which account for the change in total Scope 3 emissions between the 2025 Annual Report and Sustainability Report. Category 11 emissions primarily come from our inhaler products that use propellants and, to a lesser extent, from our cold-chain products that require refrigeration during storage. Category 12 emissions are mostly from packaging waste treatment.
We will continue to explore measures to reduce our downstream emissions footprint, and we plan to introduce Category 9: Downstream transportation and distribution in future reports. We continue to engage with our procurement community and key suppliers to raise awareness about our Scope 3 emissions. Our efforts include targeted outreach of suppliers, who represent just over 55% of our Scope 3 emissions footprint. These engagements provide insights into their carbon reduction and energy efficiency goals and highlight opportunities for collaboration projects to reduce our carbon footprint.
=== PAGE 30 ===
Water and waste management
The management of our water consumption is central to our sustainability strategy, and all of our sites have waste management programmes in place that ensure full alignment with relevant laws and regulations.
We continue to pursue initiatives that improve how we manage waste and water, and to refine how we collect and report on relevant data. We are exploring opportunities to reduce environmental impacts related to waste incineration and other treatment methods.
Water
Water use is essential to the manufacturing process for pharmaceuticals, particularly injectable products. Moreover, many of the locations where we operate, primarily those in MENA, have water scarcity issues. These considerations were reflected in our DMA and in water screening exercises conducted in previous years. In order to manage these risks and dependencies, we are prioritising water management and efficiency, particularly in locations where water scarcity and water security issues are highest.
We have in place formal ambitions to identify gaps and opportunities for efficient water use in the region, and an ambition to set water-related targets for sites in MENA that impact water consumption, reuse, and alignment with best practices.
Our ambitions
By 2028, deliver key aspects of the ISO 46001 Water Efficiency Management System in the MENA region.
Notable achievements
Established water-related company targets to drive water efficiency at the site level Developed a water stewardship policy statement to guide how we consume water and to standardise best practices at all sites

Responsible value chain
Engaging our suppliers and stakeholders
We work closely with our suppliers and downstream stakeholders to ensure that our sustainability strategy is deeply integrated across every part of our value chain.
Our approach involves actively engaging with suppliers to enhance their social and environmental sustainability practices, fostering greater awareness and action on key issues throughout the supply chain. Simultaneously, we focus on reducing the negative impacts of our downstream activities, ensuring that the products and services we deliver contribute positively to the environment and society.
This commitment extends beyond traditional sustainability concerns to address critical issues such as anti-microbial resistance (AMR) and promoting patient awareness, as well as environmental impacts such as the emissions impacts of packaging disposal. Through these actions, we aim to drive a holistic, long-term approach to sustainability that extends far beyond our direct operations.
Upholding the principles of human rights and safeguarding against modern slavery practices
We uphold and defend human rights and take decisive action to prevent modern slavery – including forced labour, compulsory work, and human trafficking – across our global operations and value chain.
To strengthen our oversight and risk management efforts, we have established a dedicated Modern Slavery Task Force, bringing together experts from our Legal, Procurement, and Compliance teams.
This cross-functional team works collaboratively to refine our risk assessment and due diligence processes, ensure these are implemented effectively, and develop clear, proactive strategies to identify and respond to any potential modern slavery risks within our supply chain.
The MS Task Force collaborates to review and enhance our risk assessment and due diligence process, ensure their effective implementation, and develop clear strategies for addressing potential instances of Modern Slavery, should they arise.
Key measures to uphold human rights principles:
A global Supplier Code of Conduct that requires our suppliers and third parties who represent or conduct business on behalf of Hikma to comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ethical standards, including with respect to forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking
Enhanced third-party due diligence processes with updated risk criteria to identify and address modern slavery risks within our supply chain

GHG emissions (tCO2e)
Pinnacle metric
GHG emissions (tCO2e)
1. The base year 2020 emissions and energy footprint was adjusted in 2025 to account for the Xellia acquisition of sites in the US and Croatia. Emissions restatements that are conducted to account for site acquisitions are applied when the acquired emissions makes up more than 5% of the total emissions footprint. This is in line with our reporting criteria and the GHG Protocol. The amount of 10,243 tCO2e and 21,737 MWh was therefore added to the 2020 baseline year when calculating emissions reductions (not reflected in table above). No restatements were made for other comparative years (2023 and 2024)

We follow a structured methodology aligned with the GHG Protocol, leveraging three calculation methods that are prioritised hierarchically based on data availability and quality:
Supplier-specific method for highest precision, using emissions data directly provided by suppliers.
Quantity-based method using the Ecoinvent database for materials with welldefined units of measure.
Spend-based method using Exiobase for categories where quantitative data is not available.
Since 2021, our Scope 3 emissions have been tracked through the Sievo CO2 tool. This robust platform automates data extraction from our ERP systems on a monthly basis, cleansing and categorising supplier spend data (covering upstream supply chain activities). It applies standardised mapping to emissions factors from verified databases or supplier-specific data, enabling precise and consistent calculations. This integration ensures monthly classification and consolidation of activity data, supporting consistent, audit-ready reporting and deep analysis by emissions source and category.
Methodology and assurance
We quantify and report our organisational GHG emissions in alignment with the World Resources Institute’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, and in alignment with the Scope 2 guidance.
We consolidate our organisational boundary according to the operational control approach, as described in the GHG Protocol Reporting Standard. This includes all our facilities and locations where we have operational control.
The GHG sources that constituted our operational boundary for Scope 1 and 2 are:
Scope 1:
Natural gas combustion
Diesel combustion
Petrol combustion
LPG/propane combustion
Vehicle emissions
Refrigerants
Scope 2:
Purchased electricity – standard
Purchased electricity – renewable
For reporting in this Sustainability Report, we have updated the data published in our Annual Report 2025 to include actual data for October to December 2025. This replaces the estimates that were included for those months.
We have internal sustainability reporting criteria for key metrics which guide our sustainability reporting. The criteria define our reporting boundary and conditions for restatements, and establish a unified hierarchy for estimating consumption where actual data are not available. Our emissions calculation contains no material omissions, as determined by the reasonable level of assurance received on this data. In some cases, where any month’s data is missing, it has been estimated using the following methodology: using data from one year prior to the month to be estimated or previous year as proxy, calculate an average daily consumption over that period and apply that to the number of days within the month to be estimated.
Scheider Electric Advisory Services (SEAS) was engaged by Hikma to provide independent third-party reasonable verification of its direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and selected Scope 3) GHG emissions, as detailed in this report. Based on the data and information provided by Hikma and the processes and procedures followed, it is EcoAct’s verification opinion that the following GHG emissions totals are fairly stated and free from material error for 2024.
Verified emissions by SEAS include:
Scope 1 emissions – Combustion of gaseous fuels (natural gas, diesel, petrol and LPG) Fugitive refrigerant gases
Scope 2 emissions – Purchased electricity consumption (location and marketbased)
Scope 3 emissions – Emissions including Scope 3 Category 3: fuel and energy related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 (FERA), Category 5: Waste generated in operations (including water), Category 7: Employee commuting, Category 11: Use of sold products and Category 12: End of life treatment of sold products.
For Scope 3 categories (Category 1: Purchase of goods and services, Category 2: Capital goods, Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution, and Category 6: Business Travel), we worked with an external third party, Sievo Oy, to assess our carbon footprint for these categories. Sievo has contracted Ernst & Young (EY) under a ‘limited assurance engagement’, as defined by International Standards on Assurance Engagements 3000 (ISAE 3000) to report on the methodology and the emission factors used behind ‘CO2 Analytics’ tool (the Tool) as of 21 January 2022.

Percentage spend on local suppliers
Local suppliers represent the majority of our spend.
We assessed markets representing more than 90% of our total spend and maintained an average of 59%-60% spend on local suppliers between 2021 and 2025. We recognise that supporting local suppliers drives socio-economic development for our markets, and we aim to maintain a strong local presence and supplier base.
Sustainable screening for social and environmental compliance
All of our new suppliers undergo social criteria screening, including compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and anti-corruption and bribery protocols.
Our aim is to build a more sustainable value chain through active engagement and collaboration with our key suppliers. By understanding their levels of sustainability maturity, we aim to identify opportunities and develop strategies for enhancing the sustainability of our value chain.
