Aurubis : Report on Equality and Equal Pay for FY 2022/23

Measures for promoting gender equality and their effectiveness

A diverse workforce is of central importance to Aurubis. Our comprehensive Code of Conduct, Human Rights Commitment, and Diversity Commitment, along with the corporate values set out therein, serve as the foundation for respectful cooperation.

Increasing the proportion of female managers is an important goal at Aurubis. The legal target of at least

30 % women on supervisory boards has been fulfilled since 2017 and remains constant at 33 %. In the past fiscal year, the proportion of women on the Executive Board was increased to 25 % with the appointment of the first woman. For the Group as a whole, a target of

30 % and 25 % respectively has been set for the first and second management levels by the end of the 2025/26 fiscal year. Neither target has yet been met, with 26 % in the first management level and 18 % in the second management level. Concrete measures were launched to help meet these targets and continually improve Aurubis as a diverse company.

Female Aurubis employees founded the Women4Metals initiative (W4M) back in 2019. The network consists of two branches with an internal and an external focus. The internal branch targets systematically fostering women at Aurubis and increasing the attractiveness of Aurubis as an employer for women. In the external branch, the network was opened up to other companies and organizations in the industry in October 2022, as an opportunity for collaboration on making the metal industry more attractive for women. As network members, all employees, regardless of gender, benefit from mutual exchange. Trainings, motivational talks, and special events are offered, as is an internal peer mentoring program. Men also have an opportunity to gain new perspectives, better understand the needs of women in the workplace, and thus improve cooperation in everyday work.

Respecting human rights, resolutely rejecting discrimination, and respecting diversity - these are central principles at Aurubis that are reflected in our corporate values and set out in our Diversity

oriented-employer. A Group-wide training concept entitled "Together with respect: Together for human rights and against discrimination at Aurubis" was launched more deeply entrench these principles and convey them in a practical way.

The "Unconscious Bias" e-learning unit was developed based on the "Together with respect" tutorial. Once the unit has been rolled out to all employees worldwide, it will become part of the onboarding process in the future to ensure that all new employees understand the clear stance Aurubis takes against discrimination and for diversity and align their conduct accordingly.

Aurubis also offers flexible worktime models with flex- time, part-time and remote work options. Employees with an office job can work remotely for up to 60 % of their monthly working hours. When employees near retirement, they can take early retirement, work part- time temporarily, and maintain a lifetime working-hour account.

Measures to achieve equal pay for women and men Our employees are hired and promoted on the basis of their qualifications and skills as a matter of principle.

Equal pay is ensured by a collective bargaining pay structure as well as internal processes.

The collective bargaining agreements for the chemical industry concluded between the BAVC (German Federation of Chemical Employers' Associations) and IG BCE (Mining, Chemistry and Energy Industrial Union) apply to Aurubis AG. The German Collective Wage Agreement with a pay structure of 13 pay groups stipulates that employees are to be classified solely
