("Directa Plus" or the "Company")

Award of London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark

Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, announces that the Company has received London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark. This means that Directa Plus is recognised by London Stock Exchange as contributing to the global green economy.

This classification, first introduced in 2019, was created to highlight companies and investment funds listed on all segments of London Stock Exchange's Main Market and AIM that are driving the global green economy. To qualify for the Green Economy Mark, companies and funds must generate 50% or more of their total annual revenues from products and services that contribute to the global green economy. The underlying methodology incorporates the Green Revenues data model developed by FTSE Russell. It provides a detailed taxonomy of environmental goods, products and services, and is designed to recognise both 'pure-play' green technology companies, as well as those across all industries that make significant contributions to the transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy.

Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus said: "We are pleased that our contribution to the global green economy has been recognised by London Stock Exchange with our qualification for the Green Economy Mark. Directa Plus since inception has structured itself as a sustainable business and takes account at all times of its impact on the world around us. The Company, and its investors, are proud to have qualified for the Mark."
