We are committed to enhancing disclosure and accessibility of information relating to our impacts on the economy, environment and society that indicate our contribution to sustainable development.

In December 2019, our Company established an ESG Committee that was endorsed by the Board and Executive Leadership Team. The Committee is taking a step-wise approach to ensure consistent, quality and relevant information is provided, however, its key objective is preparing a Sustainability Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative within three years.

We will also consider our Company’s climate risk against the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. In FY20 we engaged Umwelt – environmental and social consultants – to undertake a TCFD gap analysis. This analysis, together with a materiality study, will be used to establish the ESG Committee’s objectives and initiatives for FY21.
