Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) ESG Report

Our goal is to be Carbon Neutral by 2025 by investing in the most efficient farming technology where possible, controlling our power grid, and offsetting our emissions with hemp production. We are on track to meet this goal. We are currently designing a 3 MW solar photovoltaic system and 6.0 MW storage system that would cover all our current energy needs and will be scaled to meet our future energy needs. Our objective is to install it within the next 24 to 36 months. CARBON NEUTRAL REGENERATIVE FARMING AND NOVEL TECHNOLOGY SYNERGY The cultivation of hemp delivers excellent carbon sequestration. One hectare of industrial hemp can absorb between 8 and 15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare. Hemp's rapid growth makes it one of the fastest CO2- to-biomass conversion tools available, more efficient than agro-forestry. Industrial hemp has been scientifically proven to absorb more CO2 per hectare than any forest or commercial crop and is therefore the ideal carbon sink. As a cover crop, hemp enhances soil health by shading out weeds reducing the need for synthetic herbicides and adding diversity to crop rotations, improving soil health. During this reporting year we cultivated 77 acres of land, sequestering 467.4 tonnes of CO2. Currently, 120 acres are in full production, and we are on track to produce 480 acres in 2024, sequestering 2,913.74 tonnes of CO2. Green Hygienics’ hemp cultivation process is based on coupling the hemp plant's natural biology and ecology with aligned, non-polluting USDA Certified Organic farming practices that include nurturing the soil, minimizing water use, and continuously controlling and monitoring the quality of our plants. Hemp is a naturally regenerative agriculture crop, meaning it organically replenishes nutrients in the soil throughout its lifecycle. We have and maintain the ideal soil conditions for hemp. Our Sol Valley Ranch property is an ancient alpine lakebed, boasting 12 to 16 feet of nutrient-rich soil. We are also enrolled in the Healthy Soils program through the California Department of Food and Agriculture, a voluntary program that promotes sustainable farming practices and helps the resiliency of our operation and safeguard the basis of our cultivation for the indefinite future. Although there is a year-round lake on the property, as part of the Company’s risk reduction strategy, we recently installed a water monitoring and control system to evaluating how much water we consume annually and have planned accordingly to both reduce those needs and exceed our water needs with storage capabilities. To minimize our water use, we currently use a drip irrigation that directly waters the plant root. Drip irrigation systems lose 25 % less water to evaporation and runoff than rain or sprinkler systems. We are in the process of installing hard PVC with spray heads, which is the most efficient method available. We are also engaged in a pilot project with technology that monitors many soil and weather analytics, allowing us to know when and in what part of the field nutrients and/or hydration is needed. We own our water rights and have 13 wells on site that supply all our irrigation, fire and domestic water. We have a deep well that fills two 1000 cubic liter reservoirs with bladder systems to prevent evaporation and are in the process of building two one- acre rubber lined 10 to 15 feet deep ponds to capture rain run-off. The property is designated by the San Diego County as a fire safety zone because of its unique geological structure. As a result of exceptional growing conditions, our 824-acre farm produces the highest quality plants. We use non- GMO seeds, zero pesticides, and have programs in place to ensure no degradation or erosion of the soil occurs. An independent third-party lab also conducts semi-annual testing to monitor changes in nutrients, pH and potential contaminants. Our sustainable farming practices adhere to all guidelines set out under the National Organic Program governed by the USDA. We are also discussing strategies to reduce the environmental impact of packaging throughout its lifecycle. For example, we are exploring compostable and hemp plastic packaging, and working towards manufacturing our packaging from our own hemp.
