European Sustainability Reporting Standards Reference
The Company operates this 2025 report as an ESRS Reference Year. To enable global stakeholders to use this report as an ESRS-aligned report, both disclosed items and reasons for non-disclosure are clearly indicated against the 12 ESRS topical standards (ESRS 1 and 2 + E1–E5 + S1–S4 + G1). This index, together with the GRI Index, forms a dual index.
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) applies to large companies from Fiscal Year 2024 and to listed small and medium-sized enterprises from 2026. While i-SENS, Inc. is not directly subject to the CSRD, demand from global customers, EU partners, and EU investors for double-materiality-based disclosure is rapidly increasing, so the Company aligns this report as an ESRS Reference. This index consists of four tables.
· Table 1 — Mapping of 12 ESRS topical standards (which chapter of this report addresses each)
· Table 2 — Cross-mapping of GRI 2021 ↔ ESRS (linking last year's GRI Index to this year's ESRS)
· Table 3 — Non-material ESRS items and rationale (ESRS 2 BP-2 reasons for non-disclosure)
· Table 4 — Mapping of EU product regulations (IVDR · AI Act · PPWR) ↔ this report

ESRS does not require uniform disclosure of all items; items judged non-material in the Double Materiality Assessment may be specified together with the reason for non-disclosure (ESRS 2 BP-2). In the Company's 2025 DMA, the following items were judged non-material.
ESRS Code | Item | Reason for Non-Disclosure | Future |
ESRS E4 | Biodiversity and ecosystems | E-08 Impact 5.97 / Financial 6.51, placing it in the monitoring zone. Sites (Wonju, Songdo) are located in urban and industrial areas with limited direct impact. Nonetheless, a Biodiversity Policy was proactively established in 2025 and TNFD-aligned monitoring is in operation. | Re-assessment in next year's DMA |
ESRS E2-3 | Soil pollution | Soil pollution risk is limited given the nature of medical device manufacturing processes | Monitoring |
ESRS S2-3 (partial) | Child and forced labor in the value chain | Direct risk is low given a medical device supply chain centered on electronic components and plastics | To be re-examined in CSDDD response |
ESRS S3-2 (partial) | Impact on indigenous peoples | No direct exposure to impacts on indigenous peoples given the location of sites in Korea and major markets | To be re-assessed upon new overseas entry |
