Corporate Environmental Policy

NERV Corporation · Version 1.0

1. Policy Statement

NERV Corp is committed to conducting its operations in a manner that protects the environment, safeguards human health, and supports a sustainable future. We recognize that our activities have an impact on the natural world, and we accept responsibility for managing that impact responsibly across everything we do.

We will meet or exceed all applicable environmental laws and regulations, prevent pollution at its source, use natural resources efficiently, and continually improve our environmental performance. Environmental stewardship is not a peripheral obligation but a core business value, integrated into our strategy, decisions, and daily work at every level of the organization.

2. Purpose & Scope

This policy sets out NERV Corp's commitments and expectations for environmental management. Its purpose is to provide a clear, shared framework that guides how we reduce our environmental footprint, comply with legal requirements, and drive continual improvement.

This policy applies across the whole of NERV Corporation, including:

• All business units, divisions, subsidiaries, and operations under NERV's management control
• All facilities, sites, offices, laboratories, and other locations we own, lease, or operate
• All directors, officers, employees, and temporary or contract staff
• Suppliers, contractors, and partners acting on NERV's behalf, who are expected to uphold standards consistent with this policy

Where local laws or standards are more stringent than this policy, the more stringent requirement applies.

3. Guiding Principles

NERV Corporation's environmental management is built on the following commitments:

1. Legal and regulatory compliance — Comply with all applicable environmental legislation, regulations, permits, and other obligations we subscribe to, treating these as the minimum rather than the goal.
2. Pollution prevention — Prevent, minimize, and control pollution and emissions at the source wherever practicable, rather than relying on end-of-pipe controls.
3. Continual improvement — Set measurable objectives, monitor our performance, and continually improve our environmental management system and outcomes over time.
4. Lifecycle thinking — Consider environmental impact across the full lifecycle of our products, services, and facilities, from design and sourcing through use and end-of-life.
5. Resource efficiency — Use energy, water, materials, and land efficiently, and prioritize renewable and lower-impact alternatives.
6. Risk management — Identify, assess, and mitigate environmental risks, and prepare for and respond effectively to environmental incidents and emergencies.
7. Transparency and accountability — Communicate openly with stakeholders, report our performance honestly, and hold ourselves accountable for the commitments in this policy.

4. Key Focus Areas

NERV Corp concentrates its environmental effort on the areas where we have the greatest impact and the greatest opportunity to improve:

• Climate & energy — Reduce greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and value chain, improve energy efficiency, increase our use of renewable energy, and work toward credible decarbonization targets.
• Water — Use water efficiently, protect water quality, reduce discharge impacts, and manage water risk in areas of scarcity.
• Waste & circularity — Reduce waste generation, reuse and recycle materials, divert waste from landfill, and design products and processes around circular-economy principles.
• Materials & sustainable sourcing — Source responsibly, favor sustainable and lower-impact materials, and work with suppliers who share our environmental standards.
• Pollution prevention — Control emissions to air, land, and water, properly manage chemicals and hazardous substances, and prevent spills and contamination.
• Biodiversity & land — Protect ecosystems and biodiversity, minimize habitat disturbance, and restore and enhance natural environments where we operate.
• Products & services — Design and deliver products and services that help reduce environmental impact for our customers and for NERV.
