LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS
As we reflect on the journey of 2023, I am delighted to introduce our annual Sustainability Report, an insightful testament to the challenges and actions that shaped our year.
2023 has been extraordinary in terms of growth
(+19.5% in constant currency, exceeding the milestone of EUR 500 million), and we have never lost sight of our commitment to sustainable innovation and the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters.
In accordance with this approach, we have worked to further reinforce our sustainability key areas throughout the year: Caring for patients, Caring for people, Caring for the environment, and Caring for the community. These four pillars represent the facets that sustainability has in Medacta's specific context,
unveiling how the improvement of the care and well- being of patients and all other stakeholders around the world has been carved into our company culture since the beginning.
I would like to highlight an important enhancement that characterizes this year's Report in considering our material topics, which represent Medacta's most relevant impact themes. As a matter of fact, this document has been compiled around the concept of double materiality, which encompasses both the impacts on our stakeholders and those on our financial performance, as further illustrated. This holistic approach to reporting provides a deeper understanding of how sustainability factors can drive value creation and risk mitigation for our company. Following this materiality analysis, we established a set of key performance indicators to monitor and target the most pertinent topics until 2025, embracing a three-year perspective.
As we strive for sustainable growth, we added 193 new roles to accommodate our ongoing market

penetration, each contributing to the diverse tapestry of our organization, reaching a total of 1'730 employees. Furthermore, we have made strategic investments in our infrastructure while maintaining a keen focus on environmental and social considerations. In November, we announced the expansion of our site in Rancate, Ticino, to meet the high demand for our products. The new facilities are designed to reduce energy use and GHG emissions, with an environmentally sustainable approach.
Recognizing the critical role of a resilient supply chain, we have invested to fortify its strength. These endeavors demonstrate our proactive approach, ensuring that our operations remain robust, responsive, and sustainable in the face of evolving challenges.
In the spirit of unity, we celebrated our first Medacta Family Open Day in April, with our Headquarters' employees and their families. This event emphasized our belief that maintaining a harmonious work-life
balance is vital for the overall well-being of our team. It was also an excellent opportunity to showcase our commitment to the "What we do matters" campaign, which aims to inspire our employees and raise awareness about the significance of their work. The Medacta Family Open Day was held in Ticino with the support of local entities, demonstrating our strong relationship with the community.
As we look towards the future, we are filled with enthusiasm about what 2024 has in store for us. Our primary goal is to continue our growth journey in a responsible and sustainable way. Our focus remains on improving patient outcomes and satisfaction while promoting healthcare sustainability and creating value for our stakeholders.
