09 10 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report Topic Topic Innovation Development Topic: Digital Transition for High-Quality Development The rapid growth of information technology is driving the development of digital finance. As a Technology-as-a-Service provider for financial institutions, OneConnect focuses on financial innovation and vigorously promotes information technology application innovation. OneConnect serves the real economy by using the power of finance, helps local governments support small and medium-sized enterprises, and provides digital transition and inclusive financing services, consequently providing strong support for the realization of high-quality development. In the past, China’s IT underlying standards, architecture, products, ecology, etc. are heavily reliant on imported IT products. In the circumstance where technologies, information security, and data storage may be restricted, the development of Information Technology Application Innovation (ITAI) Industry has been accelerated. The core of ITAI is the establishment of independent and controllable information technology underlying architecture and standards, and the domestic substitution in the fields of chips, sensors, basic software, application software, etc. As a national strategy in China, the ITAI development could inject new vitality and momentum into economic development in the current situation. With the unique competitiveness of “technology + business”, OneConnect can support financial institutions to reinforce their digital foundation and accelerate the development of financial ITAI. The company has established a management mechanism of open source software, including introduction of open source software, license management, auditing, testing, daily scanning, and risk remediation. It guarantees the security of the open source software supply chain and saves the company’s system and business from potential interruption caused by open source software licensing, supply interruption, or major security risks, all of which may result in significant losses. Aiming to provide strong support for ITAI development, in terms of R&D, the company has established a company-level R&D effectiveness metric system, covering three major dimensions and a total of thirty-five R&D process indicators. The company has been continuously promoting the construction of organizational level Devops capabilities from the perspectives of product demand management and the construction of automation tools for the entire development and operation process, and has successfully obtained a CMMI5 level (the highest level of research and development capability certification) certificate. Supporting the Information Technology Application Innovation Industry Serving the Real Economy In order to fully support the resumption of work and production in the pandemic period and to meet the capital needs of small and micro enterprises (SMEs) as well as individual entrepreneurs, OneConnect and Qujing City Commercial Bank launched the inclusive financial property mortgage credit product called “Good Housing, Quick Loaning” that was well received by the market. In this product, OneConnect introduces AI outbound calls, machine learning algorithms, map POI analysis, and other technologies into the whole processes of pre-lending, landing, and post-lending. Such techniques not only provide robust support in the field of marketing and risk control management, but also remarkably simplifies application procedures, offering convenient digital financial services for micro and small business owners and individual entrepreneurs, consequently improving their application experience. Based on OneConnect’s industry-leading technology and marketing tools, OneConnect’s digital credit solutions provide financial institutions with the ability to quickly launch credit businesses for various scenarios, which greatly enhances business promotion efficiency and risk control and decision-making capabilities. “Good Housing, Quick Loaning” is one of the useful solutions that OneConnect provides to market participants. This year, OneConnect cooperated with a commercial bank to build a to-business risk platform, integrating 80+ internal and external tags to construct a portrait of 80,000 public and small/micro clients. The platform facilitates accurate risk alert and mobile management. In the cooperation with a province-level city commercial bank in central China, OneConnect created an online only credit granting platform, with corporate cash flow as its core data. The partner bank has granted a total of nearly 600 million yuan in credit to SMEs in less than six months. The 14th Five-Year Plan of China explicitly states that the financial support innovation system should be improved and financial products and services directly targeting the real economy should be innovated. In the background of the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, OneConnect unlocks the power of financial technology to promote the digital credit transition of the bank and support the high-quality development of the real economy by financial vitality. Innovation Development In this year, the company and two subsidiaries joined the Information Technology Application Innovation Working Committee and six working groups and created appropriate environment for business line transformation. In a project for a financial platform and an insurance company (one of the first financial ITAI contracted projects), OneConnect completed a total of 43 products (a total of 128 subsystems) for ITAI transformation, all of which have been added to the national ITAI product catalog.

11 12 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report Topic Accelerating the Digital Transition of Finance Relying on the strategic combination of effective data and services and AI-powered mid-end platform, OneConnect has successfully built the comprehensive “Smart Banker” solution which covers extensive scenarios of bank retail business and is well received by collaborative partners. “The Smart Banker” is designed based on the successful practice of Ping An Bank’s retail transformation and real business scenarios of over 30,000 employees. It focuses on six major application scenarios and core business, including deposit management, customer acquisition, target management, process management, team management, and mobile business. “The Smart Banker” drives the productivity improvement of the entire bank team (including wealth management/credit operation staff /credit card account managers, branch managers, and headquarter and branch management staff) with a digital sales management system. Taking one of the top 5 city commercial banks as an example, in the process of building the Smart Banker App, OneConnect helped the bank to reconstruct its retail mid-end platform. In addition to developing the data warehouse architecture, mid-end platform engine, and operation dashboard system, OneConnect continued to help the bank explore advanced data products such as retail metrics platform and free-combination data analysis platform based on operation analysis scenarios, empowering the bank’s 7,900 retail account managers in 12 operation scenarios. Relief for SMEs SMEs are the backbones of economy and play an indispensable role in promoting growth and stabilizing employment. At the beginning of 2022, many local governments have formulated a series of policy measures to provide relief and support for SMEs that meet relevant requirements. Guided by the provincial government, OneConnect collaborated with a local financial supervisory authority to explore the “digital government + financial technology” mode and built a local SME financing platform that integrates the notable regional and industrial characteristics of SMEs. Since its launch in January 2020, the Guangdong SME Financing Platform, which is guided by Guangdong Financial Supervisory Authority and technically supported by OneConnect, has utilized the characteristics of blockchain, such as the unmodifiable feature and the cross-verification in encryption, to solve the problem of information asymmetry between SMEs and commercial banks. As of December 31, 2022, the Guangdong SME Financing Platform has successfully included more than 1,200 financial institutions, released nearly 1,600 financial products, served more than 1.3 million SMEs in total, and supported SMEs to obtain a total financing amount of 130 billion yuan. At present, digitalization and the real economy are in a critical period of systematic and comprehensive integration. With the continuous innovation of digital technologies such as AI, 5G and blockchain, technology-driven innovation will be a major trend in the financial industry. Moreover, the digital technology enterprises are becoming an important force in promoting financial institutions’ cost reduction and efficiency improvement, innovative transition, service efficiency, and service quality. As a leading Technology-as-a-Service provider in China’s financial services industry, OneConnect upholds the core concept of “Expertise and technology create value”. Through vigorous and determined endeavors, we upgrade our products in the “2+1” segment of digital banking, digital insurance, and Gamma platform, and explore a valuable digital financial service ecology in the new strategy of “One Body and Two Wings”. We are working hand in hand with all partners to be the most solid, reliable and trustworthy long-term partner in the journey of achieving high-quality development. In the cooperation with one of the top 10 city commercial banks who had its weak points in retail businesses, OneConnect took the digital transition consulting project as an entry point and helped the bank build a Smart Banker App to empower frontline marketing staff. OneConnect further achieved in-depth cooperation with the bank in various areas such as business mid-end platform, big data marketing, and gift points portal upgrade, successfully expanded the bank’s customer base by 140,000 in 6 months, and helped the bank achieve its best operation record. With the digital transition, the bank’s retail asset management volume and retail loan volume increased by 4.6 billion and 6.2 billion yuan, respectively, within six months, and the ratio of retail loans to overall loans increased significantly. empowering the bank’s 7,900 retail account managers in 12 operation scenarios successfully expanded the bank’s customer base by 140,000 in 6 months the Guangdong SME Financing Platform has successfully included more than 1,200 financial institutions, released nearly 1,600 financial products, served more than 1.3 million SMEs in total, and supported SMEs to obtain a total financing amount of 130 billion yuan.

Once a whistleblowing report is received, the internal audit department will take prompt action to investigate and handle the reported case. OneConnect strictly prohibits any discrimination or retaliation against the whistleblowers, prohibiting the personnel who are in charge of investigation and other personnel from revealing the whistleblowers’ identity and the content of the whistleblowing case to the person being accused of and other irrelevant persons, so as to protect the whistleblowers to the greatest extent possible. The internal audit department will handle the reported matters according to the investigation outcome and the company’s internal policies.

43 44 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report Marching Towards a Low-Carbon Future OneConnect focuses on environmental protection in its operation process, and takes environmental protection as one of the core elements of business operation and incorporates it into the long-term development strategy of the company. In business operations, OneConnect actively reduces the impact of business operations on environment through energy-saving renovation, guiding employees to save energy and reduce emission, and strengthening waste management. In order to regulate operational management of OneConnect’s workplace, clarify the daily management requirements of the workplace and employees’ daily behavior, and at the same time enhance the effectiveness of energy saving and cost reduction, the company has formulated the Workplace Operation and Management Standards and carried out environmental improvement in workplaces across the country to create a civilized, harmonious, clean, and tidy office environment that consequently nurtures appropriate employee habit as well as achieves goals of energy saving and emission reduction. The company’s water mainly comes from municipal water supply which is relatively stable. The company’s annual water consumption is only about 16,000 tons which is relatively low in comparison with production-oriented enterprises. In order to further advocate the policy of energy saving and emission reduction as well as minimize waste, we set the target of reducing the operation and maintenance cost by 5% in 2022 considering the company’s operation and characteristic, while regularly analyze the energy consumption data according to the monthly consumption data to find out the consumption hotspots and propose improvement measures, so as to reduce water and electricity costs of the top ten offices by more than 10% in 2022 compared with 2021. Meanwhile, the company also launched the initiative of Saving “Every Drop of Water, Every Degree of Electricity, Every Sheet of Paper, and Every Piece of Food” targeting all employees, calling on all employees to develop a good habit of saving water, electricity, paper, and food, reducing equipment wastage, avoiding lavish consumption, and becoming the implementors of energy conservation and emission reduction. As a non-production company, OneConnect does not possess any vehicles, thus there is no direct emission of pollutants into the air, water, or land. The waste generated by the company is mainly electronic wastes and office wastes. In respect of waste management, we strictly comply with the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environment Pollution Caused by Solid Wastes and categorize solid waste. For discarded electronic products, we will draft an asset list, select a third party organization that meets the requirements through tendering, and transfer the waste to the organization for recycling; for office waste, the common approach is to guide employees to carry out waste categorization so that the waste could be properly handled by the property management company. Carrying Out Green Operation Collection of used batteries and draft paper in the workplace launched the initiative of Saving “Every Drop of Water, Every Degree of Electricity, Every Sheet of Paper, and Every Piece of Food” OneConnect views ESG as an essential element to achieve sustainable development. While implementing our ESG, we also utilize technologies to help clients actualize their ESG goals. As a business technology service provider for financial institutions, OneConnect has strong cutting-edge technology strengths in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain, and has been listed on the Forbes Global 50 Blockchain for two consecutive years. As the “double carbon” goal becomes the national strategy, companies will be facing a number of business opportunities and challenges. Taking account of the company’s operating model, climate change will affect the company’s operating costs mainly through potential changes in energy prices, and since the company’s overall energy consumption is not quite high, the financial impact of climate change on the company will be relatively low. However, through the analysis of climate change impacts , the company’s business model, and technological advantages, the company realizes that there will be considerable opportunities in integrating blockchain and the climate change. Blockchain technology can effectively help improve the reliability, fairness, and accuracy of data flow, expand the application scope of the data, enable the capitalization of carbon market transaction data, which would ultimately enhance the liquidity of carbon assets. Considering this, on March 22, 2022, OneConnect joined hands with China Mobile Research Institute, China Quality Certification Center, and Sinochem Environmental Holdings Co., Ltd. to hold the “Blockchain + Energy” National Blockchain Application Innovation Pilot Seminar. In this seminar, the “Digitalization and Intelligentization of Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality & Blockchain plus Energy” Innovation Lab (“Double Carbon” Innovation Lab) was officially inaugurated. The white paper Blockchain Enables “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality” compiled by OneConnect, was officially released. With the establishment of the “Double Carbon” Innovation Lab, OneConnect will utilize its technical advantages in the blockchain field and collaborate with the members to complete the joint application of the national pilot projects, aiming to form a standard product of “Blockchain + Energy/Double Carbon” to boost the “Double Carbon” goals and ESG practices with technological power. In the future, the “Double Carbon” Innovation Lab will leverage the advantages of each member and the national pilot projects and continue to make efforts in the fields of digitalization of “double carbon”, development of blockchain technology standards, and the construction of “double carbon” management platform at national/ local/industry level, etc. It will also accelerate the deployment of joint labs with verification capabilities among enterprises, verification agencies, and regulatory departments and empower the society to improve the credibility and intelligentization of carbon emission, carbon reduction, and carbon neutrality.

Given the company has headquarters in both Shenzhen and Shanghai, OneConnect quickly appointed the communist party committee as the core coordinator and organized employees to actively participate in volunteer services such as code checking and pandemic guidance in the workplace. Our employees also served as volunteers in their local communities, assisting with nucleic acid testing(NAT), resources allocation and helping disadvantaged groups. In addition, OneConnect also donated 100,000 yuan to the Shanghai Xuhui District People’s Government to support the prevention and control of the pandemic. We firmly believe that love and technology shall be intertwined and growing together. Through our efforts, we also raise the public’s awareness and understating of financial technology. OneConnect has been making contribution to support education and poverty alleviation. In May 2021, OneConnect announced the charitable program of “Grow Together with Love and Technology”, which is dedicated to donating technology resources to schools in rural areas and empowering the healthy growth of young children. In June 2021, the public welfare program was introduced to the Ping An Hope Primary School in Duiziqian Town, Suichuan County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province. A technology caravan brought a number of technological equipments and teaching materials such as Gamma glasses, AI micro-expression recognition, AI painting, etc., to the school and pass love and care in a scientific and technological manner. In 2022, the program of “Grow Together with Love and Technology” was still in progress. OneConnect sticks to its original intention, takes the mission of serving the people’s livelihood, and grasps the two directions of “cultivation of financial technology talent” and “rural revitalization and poverty alleviation through education”. OneConnect utilizes the power of “finance + technology” to fulfill social responsibilities and promote digital charity activities. April 23 is the World Book and Copyright Day. In 2022, OneConnect firstly organized a parenting book recommendation activity for employees in order to collect a list of book recommendation. Then, with the recommendations from employees, the company purchased a number of technology-related book sets and customized notebooks and sent them to five Ping An Hope Primary Schools. We hope to bring the joy of reading and technology to more rural children on the World Book and Copyright Day. In 2022, OneConnect actively participated in the project of “Shenzhen Stands with Kashgar Prefecture · Benevolence Makes Brighter Future” initiated by One Foundation, donating more than 50,000 yuan of resources to the Kashgar region and aiming to help local people in need to relieve their living difficulties.
