CEO's message

ESG report for IHC

Dear stakeholders,

I am delighted to present our first sustainability report, which highlights our

commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

Our company was founded in the year 2005

with the vision of providing high-quality

logistics services to our customers. Over the

years, we have grown to become a leading provider of heavy lift crane rental and transportation service provider in the MENA region. We attribute our success to the dedication, commitment, hard work of our employees, and support extended by our customers and the stakeholders. We have always believed in attaining sustainable growth

and while delivering a continually improved

services and innovative value addition to our

customers.

We have increased our focus on continuous improvement, innovation and

sustainability in all the key areas of our corporate functioning including,

activities such as safety of our workforce, hiring local manpower, providing

intensive training to local graduates, safety and equipment maintenance to the international standards.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the importance of health of our staff to be able to achieve sustainability in growth and other social and business parameters. In 2023, we began the sustainability journey by stakeholder engagement process, materiality assessment and reporting of our current impacts. As we go ahead in 2024, we will develop a new ESG strategy framework that will guide our efforts to create a more sustainable future.

CEO's message Contd.

ESG report for IHC

We first initiated the stakeholder engagement process to understand our stakeholder concerns. This report is our first

attempt to show our stakeholders our commitment to integrate ESG principles into our strategy.

We hope to reach out to our government regulators and initiate a dialogue about IHC's capabilities to support environmental projects in Kuwait. We are committed to working for a sustainable future for Kuwait and would request the government to develop regulations that support the adoption of

sustainable practices by businesses.

Our commitment to improving our customers' experience has

made our brand synonymous with trust, quality and reliability.

We are well-poised to capitalize on the emerging opportunities.

We welcome the ESG disclosure guide provided by Boursa Kuwait, and used this guide as our first step into the sustainability reporting process for IHC and its subsidiary companies in Kuwait, We are proud of the government's initiatives to encourage sustainability reporting for all listed companies in Kuwait, and hope to work together to build a sustainable future for Kuwait.

Backed by our robust business model, we are looking to

expand our operations and increase our value proposition

significantly in the coming years. As a continuously evolving heavy lift and logistics industry, we are committed to meeting the needs of our customers, contractors, and business partners.

We are committed to continuous improvement and working

with our stakeholders to create a robust sustainable future.

Thank you for your support.
