Environmental
Building Carbon Neutrality and Environmental Governance
Classys operates a structured governance framework to effectively establish and implement its environmental management strategy. The Board of Directors reviews environmental management issues at least twice a year to assess strategies and performance, evaluate climate- and environment-related opportunities and risks affecting the business, and reflect such considerations in management activities while overseeing the appropriateness of implementation processes. The Representative Executive Officer oversees the overall direction and key initiatives of company-wide environmental management and ensures that sustainable management practices are integrated throughout business operations.
The dedicated EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) Team drives environmental management strategies and carries out activities to reduce environmental impacts across business operations. The team is also responsible for establishing environmental management systems, obtaining certifications, identifying risks, and developing response strategies. In addition, Classys promotes environmental management initiatives through organization-wide participation and collaboration while strengthening employees’ environmental management capabilities through environmental education programs.

- Strengthening Board-linked environmental and safety governance
- Advancing integrated environmental management led by the dedicated EHS Team
- Continuously monitoring domestic and international environmental and safety laws and regulatory changes
- Enhancing data-driven management systems for energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
- Expanding a participation-based environmental management culture across employees

- Enhancing ESG management systems based on key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Strengthening the linkage between ESG performance and evaluation and compensation systems
- Embedding an ESG execution culture throughout the organization
- Operating systems to monitor ESG target implementation and performance outcomes
- Advancing continuous improvement and management systems based on performance analysis
Environmental Compliance
Classys regularly identifies EHS risks at business sites and within production processes, deriving key tasks for improvement. We monitor task implementation through indicator reviews and regular assessment. A regional environmental regulations database tracks legislative trends in real time, allowing us to proactively assess and address compliance risks. We help employees cultivate environmental compliance capabilities through regular training and awareness campaigns, while EHS personnel receive specialized training and benchmark best practices from leading environmental businesses. These accomplishments in our environmental management practices are then published in our annual sustainability reports, ensuring transparent communication with stakeholders.

Through this proactive framework, Classys has not experienced any violations of environmental regulations, incidents, or related lawsuits to date. We remain committed to ongoing compliance and risk management in adherence to environmental laws.

Appointment and Composition of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors determines the Company’s management objectives and strategies and performs the role of effectively supervising management in order to support the Company’s growth and enhance stakeholder rights and interests. To effectively fulfill these responsibilities, the Board is composed and operated transparently in accordance with applicable laws and procedures.
The Board consists of directors appointed at the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the Korean Commercial Act and the Articles of Incorporation. As of the end of March 2026, the Board is composed of seven members, including four non-executive directors and three independent directors.
When appointing directors, detailed information regarding the candidates is provided through the notice of the General Meeting of Shareholders and the electronic voting system, and the final appointment is determined upon approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders. In accordance with Article 363 of the Korean Commercial Act and Article 21 of the Classys Articles of Incorporation, notice of the General Meeting of Shareholders, including the date, venue, and agenda items, is provided to shareholders in writing or electronically at least two weeks prior to the meeting. In particular, when the appointment of directors is included as an agenda item, information regarding the candidates, including their names and professional backgrounds, is also disclosed.
Director candidates are recommended through various channels, including shareholders and stakeholders. The evaluation and selection criteria for candidates comprehensively consider the diversity and expertise of the Board, as well as the Company’s strategic direction. Specific factors such as race, nationality, gender, region of origin, and religion are not predetermined, while particular emphasis is placed on whether candidates can exercise independent judgment. Based on the evaluation process, candidates who share the Company’s vision and management philosophy and who can contribute constructive direction for future growth are selected and recommended.
In particular, for the appointment of independent directors, the Director Nomination Committee reviews and recommends candidates to ensure a more objective evaluation process. The criteria for selecting independent director candidates are reviewed annually by the Director Nomination Committee to ensure appropriateness and continuous improvement.

Independent Directors Council
Introduction
To strengthen the independence of independent directors in supervising and supporting executive management, Classys operates an Independent Directors Council consisting of all independent directors. Its composition, made up solely of independent directors and excluding management, ensures free and objective discussions within the council and promotes the company’s growth and shareholder rights.
As decided by the independent directors, Park, Jun Hong, an independent director who had previously served as the head of a global pharmaceutical and healthcare subsidiary, was appointed to lead the Independent Directors Council in 2023. The council collects opinions from independent directors and communicates them to the Board and/or management. Additionally, Classys supports the operation of the council by providing all necessary resources and, if needed, covering the costs of external consulting experts.

Compensation Committee
Introduction
Classys operates a Compensation Committee under the Board of Directors to ensure objectivity and fairness in executive compensation. The committee is chaired by an independent director and is primarily composed of non-executive directors, thereby maintaining independence from executive management.
Compensation packages for executive officers are determined through prior review and deliberation by the Compensation Committee. The committee focuses on assessing whether the compensation structure is effectively aligned with the Company’s mid- to long-term strategies and management objectives, while appropriately reflecting the interests of stakeholders, including shareholders. In addition, the committee seeks to maintain external competitiveness in compensation levels while ensuring transparency in its operations.

Nomination Committee
Introduction
Classys operates a Director Nomination Committee to ensure fairness in the recommendation and appointment process for independent directors. Independent directors are appointed from among candidates recommended following the committee’s review and evaluation process.
Candidates for independent director positions must not only satisfy all qualification requirements under applicable laws and the Articles of Incorporation, but also maintain no material interests with Classys and be capable of carrying out management decision-making and oversight functions from an independent position. Among candidates who meet these requirements, the Director Nomination Committee selects individuals with extensive expertise and experience in areas such as the medical device industry, healthcare and beauty, accounting and finance, sales and marketing, diversity, and M&A. In particular, the committee gives priority to candidates who can exercise independent judgment from diverse perspectives without limitation based on race, nationality, gender, region of origin, religion, or professional background.
In addition, to allow shareholders sufficient time for prior review, information regarding candidates — including their key professional experience, relationship with the Company, and reasons for recommendation — is provided at least two weeks prior to the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Introduction
Audit Committee members are ultimately appointed at the General Meeting of Shareholders, taking into consideration factors such as legal requirements and independence. The Audit Committee is composed of professionals with expertise in accounting, finance, and industry-related fields, and members who are free from conflicts of interest with the Company and management so that they can oversee management from an independent position.
The Audit Committee reviews matters including audits of key management activities such as accounting and finance, evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting system, assessment of internal monitoring systems, deliberation on agenda items for the General Meeting of Shareholders, and other matters prescribed in the Articles of Incorporation. The committee also audits the execution of duties by directors and management to support reasonable decision-making. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings to review matters related to internal accounting management and internal audit results, and maintains periodic communication with the external auditor.
Classys provides the Audit Committee with management data and materials necessary for the performance of its duties and shares information on major internal issues on an ongoing basis to ensure sufficient review. In addition, the Company conducts regular training programs to enhance the committee’s understanding of management activities and strengthen its audit expertise.
