1st Quarter 2024 Report

Solid ESG path

Generating positive and lasting value for society and shareholders has always been part of our business strategy. If today, environmental, social, and governance aspects, so widely disseminated in the ESG acronym, are considered essential in conducting any activity, for TIM, the sustainable development agenda is part of an evolutionary and intentional journey.

Continuously, we challenge ourselves with goals and commitments that contribute to building a fairer, more inclusive, and diverse society, and reduce environmental impacts, in pursuit of a circular and low- carbon economy. At TIM, the ESG theme is at the core of the business, becoming an increasingly crosscutting principle in all planned and executed actions.

National and international recognition is the result of a trajectory that has been built up over more than two decades. We are the longest-serving telecommunications company - 16 years - in the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index Portfolio. Since 2011, the company has voluntarily been part of the Novo Mercado, the highest level of corporate governance on the Brazilian stock exchange, as well as being the first national operator to be classified as a Pro-Ethics company by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU).

As signatories of the UN Global Compact since 2008 and UN Women since 2021, we develop projects connect to the Sustainable Development Goals ("SDG") and recognizes the rights to data privacy, safe internet, access to information and freedom of expression as essential and unnegotiable.

Commitment to diversity and inclusion

We have adopted goals, commitments and implemented various initiatives on the themes of gender, race, LGBTI+ people, generations and people with disabilities, among others. In 2021, TIM became the 1st Brazilian operator to be included in the Refinitiv Diversity & Inclusion Index, occupying the 1st position in Telecom at a global level, a highlight it maintained in 2022 and 2023, also appearing as one of the four best companies in the world.

We were the first Brazilian operator to win the GSMA's Diversity in Tech international award, which recognizes worldwide organizations with practices in favor of equality, diversity and human rights in the technology sector. In 2023, we were once again included in Bloomberg's Gender Equality Index, which brings together companies from 45 countries, only 16 of which are Brazilian. We won the position of best company in Latin America in gender equity and 7th place globally. TIM was also the only operator to be included in IDIVERSA B3, the first Brazilian stock exchange index to consider gender and race criteria when selecting the companies that will make up its portfolio.

In the constant quest to build healthier, more inclusive and collaborative work environments, where people can be proud of themselves and achieve even better results, in 2024 we won the Top Employers Brasil seal for the third year running. TIM was also ranked 12th among the Best Companies to Work for in the country by Great Place to Work (GPTW) and has been a member of B3's GPTW Index.

ESG Committee

In 2020, TIM established its ESG Committee, linked to the Board of Directors, to guide the development and implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. The Committee has a crucial role in the definition and annual review of the ESG Plan. Its responsibilities include monitoring the reduction of climate emissions and the pursuit of carbon neutrality, in addition to monitoring the progress of the Company's environmental, climate, social and governance goals on a quarterly basis.

Focus on Transparency

Since 2004, we have been presenting our sustainability performance through sustainability indicators and for 17 years we have been publishing reports according to the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). As of 2021, we have renamed this publication as the ESG Reportand we continue with our commitment to transparency and accountability to our stakeholders, organizing the report into three pillars: Environmental, Social and Governance. Since 2009, TIM's reports have been assured by an independent third-party.

In addition, every quarter, together with the financial information, the ESG Quarterly Reportis released, with the main highlights of the performance of its environmental, social, and governance indicators. Since 2022, TIM has also been publishing Issue Briefs, to give more visibility to its actions in the areas of biodiversity, risks related to climate change, data center efficiency, emerging risks, among others.

We have been reporting to CDP - the largest database in the world on Greenhouse Gases related to Climate Change - since 2010 and have registered our emissions in the Public Emissions Register of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. In 2024, we became part of the CDP's select group of "A List 2023" companies. Through the TIM Group, we have also joined the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and aligned our approach to climate risks with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Our main policies- such as the Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Rights, Diversity, Environmental, Climate Change, Supplier Relations, Risk Management, Anti-corruption, Safety & Occupational Health and Privacy Policies - are publicly available to the consultation of our stakeholders.

Founded in 2013, Instituto TIMhas a mission to democratize access to science, technology and innovation, in order to promote human development in Brazil. More than 700,000 people from all Brazilian states and the Federal District have been benefited by the education and inclusion projects of Instituto TIM, some of which were internationally awarded (i.e. Governarte Awards - BID 2015).

Due to its solid performance in ESG, TIM is part of national and international indexes and ratings such as the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index, Carbon Efficient Index(ICO2-B3), Brazil ESG Index (S&P/B3), Great Place to Work Index (IGPTW-B3), Refinitiv Diversity & Inclusion, Gender Equality Index (GEI) of Bloomberg, FTSE4GOOD Emerging Markets, FTSE4GOOD Latin America, MSCI ACWI ESG Leaders, MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders, TEVA ESG Women on the Board Index, seal Women on Board, among others, in addition to being certified by ISO 14001 standard (since 2010), ISO 9001 (since 2000), ISO 37001 standard (since 2021) and ISO 27001 (since 2022).
