Green Economy Mark Awarded

M.P. Evans, a producer of sustainable Indonesian palm oil, is pleased to announce it has been awarded the Green Economy Mark from the London Stock Exchange, in recognition of the Company's sustainable practices and positive contribution to the global green economy.

The Green Economy Mark is awarded to organisations that derive at least half of their revenue from activities that support environmental objectives. It endorses organisations whose products and services are not only actively contributing to the growth of the global green economy, but who demonstrate that the transition to a more sustainable economy is an increasingly investable opportunity.

Sustainability is paramount to M.P. Evans. It operates to the highest standards across all its oil palm estates and mills, which is supported by independent audits. During 2025, 80% of the output from M.P. Evans' mills was certified as sustainable, and the Company is committed to increasing its certified volumes.

As well as producing an increasingly sustainable output, the Company continually seeks new innovations to enhance its activities. It generates renewable electricity from its zero-waste mills, and has reduced total carbon emissions by 45% over the last five years. M.P. Evans has also added to its conservation land, currently 8,000 hectares, and has an established biodiversity team researching new ways to improve biodiversity standards across the Company's estates.

Commenting on the award, Matthew Coulson, chief executive officer of M.P. Evans, said: "In an industry which can be shrouded with outdated perceptions, this award recognises that there are responsible and sustainable production methods; and M.P. Evans is committed to this, operating to high standards across all its oil palm estates and mills.

Importantly, global vegetable oil demand is growing, and of the major oils, palm oil is the most land-efficient, accounting for almost 40% of the world's requirement but using less than 10% of the land cultivated for vegetable oil production globally. At M.P. Evans we are focused on increasing not only our yield to meet demand but increasing the sustainability of our output and the positive contributions we have on our local community."
