26 26 MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING Centaurus reinforced its commitment to mental health in 2025 by continuing to promote initiatives that encourage connection and meaningful conversations in the workplace. These actions aim to support individuals going through challenging times, fostering a culture of empathy and proactive care. By integrating mental health awareness into our daily work environment, we strengthen employees’ interpersonal skills such as motivation, confidence, and emotional intelligence. These initiatives also contribute to suicide prevention by encouraging stronger personal relationships and informal support networks, including friends, family, and work colleagues, to recognise signs of distress early, initiate supportive conversations, and guide individuals to appropriate resources before they’re in crisis. Our OHS and Human Resources teams play an active role in this effort, regularly organising presentations and lectures covering a wide range of mental health topics. The list of presentations delivered to our workers and the broader community in 2025 can be seen on page 23. Centaurus also offers a free health plan to all our employees in Brazil, which includes professional and confidential mental health and counselling services, as well as employee gym discounts to encourage regular exercise. The health plan covers all medical specialties, including psychiatrists and psychologists, and focuses on areas such as stress, workplace bullying and depression. Our goal is to promote long-term health and well-being. Centaurus aims to encourage worker health and well-being by providing optimal working conditions for our employees and third-party workers by nurturing an environment that is both friendly and safe. All workers are provided tools that are appropriate for their tasks and are given all necessary PPE so they can perform their duties safely. Every worker is encouraged to make suggestions and has the freedom to speak their mind in relation to work. All workers can formally refuse to carry out an activity if they consider it unsafe. This right is explained to all Centaurus employees and contractors during the OHS introductory training and induction on their first day. Centaurus’ remuneration packages are in strict compliance with applicable Brazilian labour legislation, with all employees and contractors paid above the corresponding minimum wage. In addition, all our Brazilian employees are provided with a meal card and food card. All employees and contractors are engaged based on the applicable labour regulations that ensure they have adequate time off between their daily shifts, only work up to the maximum number of hours per week, receive overtime payment whenever applicable, and have the best working conditions possible.
