Letter from our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Stockholder:

Compounding is a concept that is familiar to investors, and the returns generated for shareholders by MercadoLibre are a good example of this concept at work. Compounding is also a good way to look at the investments we have been making in technology and product development over many years. These investments drive innovation and, over time, a significant number of these innovations compound into a fantastic and constantly improving user experience. This is reflected in the growth of the number of people that choose the MercadoLibre Marketplace as their platform to buy or sell goods, and Mercado Pago as the platform to manage their finances. In 2023, unique active buyers¹ reached 85 million, growing at their fastest rate (15% year over year) since 2020, whilst Fintech monthly active users² showed even more impressive growth of 32% year over year at the end of 2023. These are foundations that will support our future growth.

We operate in a region that has significant growth opportunities; Latin America has a combined population of more than 650 million and a GDP of more than $6 trillion. This leaves considerable room for growth as we continue to scale our user base. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on these growth opportunities as the region's leading e-commerce platform and one of its leading fintechs. Core to achieving this is building competitive advantages through investment in technology and this continues to be one of our guiding principles.

On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to express our appreciation for your continued interest in MercadoLibre. We look forward to your attendance at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or receiving your proxy vote.

Sincerely yours,

Marcos Galperin

Chairman of the Board, President

and Chief Executive Officer

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

We act today for sustainable development in Latin America

We are entrepreneurs who know that sustainability is a path of continuous improvement,

with many challenges ahead but with a clear focus: the time to act is now.

At MercadoLibre, we believe that sustainability involves every area of our business. It is a commitment that we renew every day, every time we take risks to innovate, achieve scale and generate a transformational impact.

We believe that fast pace growth enables us to foster and enhance the positive socioeconomic impacts of our business, driving commercial and financial inclusion, and contributing to the prosperity of our communities. It also requires us to be increasingly efficient and innovative to reduce the environmental impact throughout the value chain. We focus on the best we can do today to continue to grow responsibly. It is a path of continuous, collective improvement, and one with many challenges ahead in such a dynamic and exponential industry. But our focus remains clear: the time to act is now.

Under this premise, our strategy has three main focus areas of action:

Socioeconomic

development and

inclusion

Social Empowerment

Environmental

Strategy and

Innovation

We promote enterprises and triple-impact brands within our ecosystem, helping their commercial development and providing visibility, specifically in segments where geographical distance or digital, gender or racial factors make it harder to access our platforms. We also aim to drive female entrepreneurship through education and financial inclusion, addressing two of the major hurdles that persist for female entrepreneurs when scaling their businesses. Our solutions ecosystem is a key factor for the digital inclusion of social organizations, as well as boosting their ability to raise funds.

We want to broaden access not just to the solutions on our platform, but also to the science and technological industry in general, by providing individuals with thousands of opportunities to study, do business or work. We believe that the best way to democratize these opportunities is through education, and we therefore seek to bring a wide array of educational content to thousands of young people in the region, enabling them to develop skills and imagine possible futures in the broad universe of technology, in collaboration with their peers.

We recognize that our growth creates its own environmental challenges. We aim to own up to this tension, concentrating on the best we can do today in order to grow sustainably. Measuring our carbon footprint enables us to identify the key impacts of our operations and their value chain. Our environmental strategy to reduce our carbon footprint is based on sustainable mobility, energy management and material circularity, in addition to the regeneration and conservation of Latin America’s iconic biomes.

And only by attracting, engaging and developing the best talent can we uphold this purpose. We are a diverse team looking to make an impact following ethical values that define the way we act.

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

Socioeconomic development and inclusion

True to our origins, our mission is to democratize commerce and financial services in Latin America. We are committed to that mission by expanding our reach to include more and more people every day, creating development opportunities for entrepreneurs and organizations across the region, and contributing to the progress and prosperity of our communities.

Positive-Impact consumption (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay) In 2019, we created the “Sustainable Products” section on our Mercado Libre Marketplace platform to promote brands and entrepreneurs that contribute to reducing environmental impact and generating positive social impacts, democratizing access to products that benefit people and the environment and promote a new economy. We seek to be a one-stop shop for the most positive-impact products in the market, promoting responsible and conscious consumption. To boost the offer of positive-impact products, we provide sales training courses for triple impact and socio-biodiversity enterprises and hold visibility campaigns for their products. And, to maximize demand, we inform users of the existing research relating to online positive-impact consumption trends and are transparent in our communication of product selection criteria. ■ Over 930k unique publications of positive-impact products. ■ +67,000 positive-impact brands and entrepreneurs.			+5.8M Users purchased products (+27% over 2022) +10.4M Products sold, 57%+ vs 2022

Biomas: products in support of socio-biodiversity ( (Mexico, Brazil and Argentina) The “Biomas in a Click” program was created to help communities that contribute to biodiversity preservation through the sustainable production of items gain access to new markets to improve income generation, and to distribute their products and knowledge across the region. In this way, we promote fair commerce and income generation for thousands of families who support biome preservation where they live. The program offers entrepreneurs from the biomes training in sales, business strategy, logistics, and digital marketing, individual and group mentorship by MercadoLibre specialists and allied foundations, and highlighted visibility in the Sustainable Products section and their own landing page to promote their products. Our contributions were recognized by Reuters Events Sustainable Business in the “Biodiversity Champion Award” category, for promoting entrepreneurial actions that integrate biome conservation with regional development and the promotion of the bioeconomy. ■ +34,000 local producers indirectly benefited. ■ +47,600 products sold. ■ 8 iconic Latin American biomes represented.			128 Supported Organizations

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

Afro-lab Program (Brazil) Since 2018, we have been partnering with Preta Hub to support businesses led by Black entrepreneurs in Brazil, contributing to their digital inclusion and income generation, and the promotion of Black entrepreneurship, culture and creativity. To this end, we place our tools and know-how about online sales strategies at the disposal of participants of Afrolab, an initiative for the acceleration of black entrepreneurs led by Preta Hub. We showcase their stories and products on our platform through an official, exclusive Feira Preta store and promotion and cultural appreciation campaigns.			192 Black entrepreneurs received training in Brazil 1,250 products sold by the official Feira Preta store on MercadoLibre

Empowering women entrepreneurs

In spite of being promoters of the economy and generators of employment, women entrepreneurs in Latin America face the most barriers to financial management services and tools, which are key to the formalization and growth of their businesses.

We know that education is a key factor enabling other dimensions of financial inclusion, such as financial wellbeing and productive development. Mercado Pago has partnered with Pro Mujer, in Spanish speaking Latin America, and with Aliança Empreendedora and Barkus, in Brazil, to improve the financial education of women entrepreneurs in the region. The initiative is focused on boosting their income-generation capacity and helping them plan a sustainable future for their business. In this way, participants gain access to educational content at each stage of their enterprise, acquire digital skills for leadership, personal development, finance and sales, connect with other women entrepreneurs in the region, and receive advice and personalized support. The program accompanies them throughout the development cycle of their business, and through it we seek to create a network of women entrepreneurs in Latin America.

■ 64% improved their financial skills.

■ 86% adopted the use of budgeting in their businesses.

■ 85% report to have incorporated digital channels and/or online payment solutions into their businesses.

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

Social empowerment: Education for digital inclusion

Education to democratize knowledge and opportunities

We want people to be able to take advantage of the thousands of possibilities for studying, starting businesses or working offered by the science and technology industry, and we know that education is the best way to democratize these opportunities.

We are acting today to promote more inclusive development in Latin America.

Beta Hub (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico)

In 2023, we launched Beta Hub, a learning community aimed at encouraging teenagers in Latin America to use technology to change their world.

Beta Hub offers free training and content to young people ages 16 to 18, and an interactive space where teenagers are challenged to progress from being users to becoming creators of technology-based solutions. The community provides a connection with specialists, leaders in the area and peers with similar interests, providing them with tools and inspiring them to make their ideas a reality.

We support this community by partnering with education and technology organizations in Latin America that share our views on diversity and inclusion.

Growing in a sustainable way

Carbon footprint

Our environmental strategy is based on a continuous improvement process that supports our sustainable growth. A central part of this strategy is measuring our carbon footprint, allowing us to identify and implement reduction actions with agility.

Since 2016, we believe we have been measuring our footprint with increasingly accurate indicators. This enables us to monitor our impact, allowing us to anticipate specific actions targeting our operations and value chain.

We measure emissions using internationally recognized methods such as the Greenhouses Gas (GHG) Protocol, the Global Logistics Emissions Counsel (GLEC) Framework, and others by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Each year we seek to improve the calculation, making it more accurate and compatible with the reality of our business.

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

Carbon Footprint Management – Our Environmental Impact Strategy

Energy Efficiency Renewable Energies

■ Smart metering strategy that allows us to remotely monitor our consumption through the use of smart sensors and real-time dashboards.

■ As of the end of 2023, more than 100 distribution centers with smart metering in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.

■ Continuing the process of migrating 100% of our operations to renewable energy sources.

■ In 2023, 13 MercadoLibre distribution centers migrated to 100% renewable energy, reaching a total of 29 sites between centers and offices.

■ Launched our first onsite solar photovoltaic plant in Colombia with more than 1,000 panels, reaching 3 sites with onsite generation in the region.

■ Approximately 44% of our total energy consumption was of renewable energy sources, which represent a total of 63,375 MWh.

Sustainable Mobility

We engage the entire logistics chain in the challenge of achieving sustainable mobility based on low-emission fuels.

In 2023, 2,321 electric vehicles were used for deliveries through our partner carriers in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. This type of transport lets us cut up to 90% of carbon emissions for deliveries compared to similar diesel vehicles, depending on the country of operation. As added value, electric vehicles are less noisy, which improves the quality of life in cities.

Another effective way of cutting emissions from our logistics is to use low-emission or renewably-sourced fuels. We have therefore encouraged our partner carriers to invest in developing a fleet of 169 trucks running on natural gas (a fuel that emits around 18% less carbon than diesel) and biomethane, a fuel made from organic waste, that has the potential to significantly reduce emissions in comparison with diesel.

Innovation to speed up low-carbon logistics

We have partnered with Newlab, a US-based innovation laboratory, that encourages collaboration between entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers to develop cutting-edge technologies. We carried out a collaborative study with this organization to explore and integrate emerging logistics technologies with low carbon emissions sourced from worldwide enterprises and new companies.

In 2023, we issued an invitation to startups around the world working on sustainable mobility, and received replies from 128 organizations, 62% of them in Latin America.

Sustainable Packaging & Materials

The entire logistics, technological and support operation for buying and selling on our e-commerce platform, and transporting items generates waste. This waste represents 1.11% of our carbon footprint. We seek solutions for minimizing the volume of materials sent to landfills and for reinserting it in the productive cycle, thus encouraging the circularity of materials. We are working on three fronts: reduce, substitute and recycle, as well as making people in our value chain aware of the issue.

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

We ensure that every shipment has the optimum packaging to protect both the product and the environment. In connection with that, we analyze size, materials and recyclability. We also use technology and creativity to find solutions to give users a better experience while reducing the environmental impact.

Our distribution centers have a smart solution that measures the volume of each item to define the ideal package size and ensure safety without wasting material. 100% of the packaging of the products leaving our distribution centers is recyclable, reusable or compostable. We ensure the circularity of materials by encouraging the use of recycled content in our packaging.

At the same time, since 2020, we have promoted the shipping of certain products in their primary packaging, without further packaging. In this way, we contribute to the reduction of packaging materials, optimize space and, in turn, reduce the fuel used for transport. In 2023, this form of shipment continued to grow, reaching 15% of products.

IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

Regeneration

In March 2021, we launched “Regenera America” a program that seeks to contribute to the regeneration and conservation of the region's emblematic natural ecosystems. We believe that by doing so, we contribute to capturing carbon, essential to mitigating the progression of the climate crisis, and to preserving biodiversity.

To develop the program, we have already invested $23.7 million. These funds were allocated among nine projects in Brazil and México, to restore and conserve a total of 14,587 hectares.

We focused on Latin America because it is home to around 40% of the planet’s biodiversity. We started with the Atlantic Forest because it is one of the most threatened ecosystems in the region, known for its important watersheds, and because Brazil is home to our largest operation.

A team in constant beta mode

Only by attracting, engaging and developing the best talent can we lead in every market where we operate and uphold our purpose. Each year we evolve to stay ahead and respond to challenges more quickly. This is why we say that being constantly in beta mode is part of our culture. We are continually assessing our practices and our value proposition to design the best experience and enable our employees to fulfill their potential.

Although we operate in a challenging context, at Mercado Libre, we have continued with our plans for growth. In 2023, we have grown into a team exceeding 58,000 people.

In 2023, we focused on strengthening our technology and logistics talent to promote growth; designing work dynamics that respond to our training and adapt to any context; developing leaders and broadening our work practices to become a more diverse company. All of these efforts are aimed at gaining efficiency and continuing to grow sustainably.
