Publication of Sustainability Report

Horsham, UK: Ceres Power Holdings plc ("Ceres", the "Company"), a global leader in fuel cell and electrochemical technology, is pleased to announce the publication of its second annual Sustainability Report, a copy of which can be found at www.ceres.tech/sustainability/ and includes:

·    Full disclosure of Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting ("SECR") framework;

·    First scenario analysis of climate-related opportunities and risks against the Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosure ("TCFD") framework;

·    Refreshed materiality matrix to compare the material topics for Ceres across our stakeholder groups;

·    Using Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") guidance on the disclosure of financially material sustainability measures, refining and adapting the metrics to align with Ceres' business.

Operating sustainably is not simply about preserving and improving the environment in which we live, but it is also about ensuring that we make a positive societal contribution and maintain strong governance. Through widely used ESG frameworks and standards, Ceres aims to be transparent in the risks and opportunities it faces and to communicate the current management of impacts for the benefit of all its stakeholders.

Professor Dame Julia King, Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Senior Independent Director and Chair of the ESG Committee of Ceres said: "A year on from our last report and world average temperatures continue to hit new highs, reinforcing the growing urgency for action to tackle climate change. Ceres' technology sits right at the heart of the global energy transition, and we also recognise the importance of building sustainability and resilience into how we do business. This report sets out how - with consideration for all our stakeholders - we continue to evolve our thinking and processes to be robust in an uncertain future."
