1 P Australia and New Zealand Climate Change Report 23 On behalf of 722 investors representing US$87 trillion in assets December 23 Scoring Partner

2 The evolution of P With great pleasure, P announced an exciting change this year. Over ten years ago P pioneered the only global disclosure system for companies to report their environmental impacts and strategies to investors. In that time, and with your support, P has accelerated climate change and natural resource issues to the boardroom and has moved beyond the corporate world to engage with cities and governments. The P platform has evolved significantly, supporting multinational purchasers to build more sustainable supply chains. It enables cities around the world to exchange information, take best practice action and build climate resilience. We assess the climate performance of companies and drive improvements through shareholder engagement. Our offering to the global marketplace has expanded to cover a wider spectrum of the earth s natural capital, specifically water and forests, alongside carbon, energy and climate. For these reasons, we have outgrown our former name of the Carbon Disclosure Project and rebranded to P. Many of you already know and refer to us in this way. Our rebrand denotes our progress as we continue to catalyze action and respond to business, finance, investment and environmental needs globally. We now have a bolder, more dynamic look and logo that reflects the scale of the work we must undertake in the coming years to move the markets ahead of where they would otherwise be on these issues and realize truly sustainable economies. Over 5, companies from all over the world have been asked to report on climate change through P this year; 8% of the world s 5 largest public companies listed on the Global 5 engage with P to enable effective measurement of their carbon footprint and climate change action; P is a not-for-profit organization. If you would like to support our vital work through donations or sponsorship opportunities, please [email protected] or telephone +6 ()

4 4 CEO Foreword As countries around the world seek economic growth, strong employment and safe environments, corporations have a unique responsibility to deliver that growth in a way that uses natural resources wisely. The opportunity is enormous and it is the only growth worth having. New York State Hurricane Sandy Damage Assessment; Governor Andrew Cuomo; November 2, 22 governor.ny.gov/ press/2622- damageassessment 2 net/presults/3- percent-solution-report.pdf 3 Based on findings from the report Natural Capital at Risk: The Top Externalities of Business, published by TEEB for Business Coalition in April 23 This year we passed a significant landmark of 4ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and are rapidly heading towards 45ppm, accepted by many governments as the upper limit to avoid dangerous climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th assessment report (AR5) strengthens the scientific case for action. Fears are increasing over future climate change impacts as we see more extreme weather events, Hurricane Sandy the most noted with damages totalling some $42 billion. The unprecedented melting of the Arctic ice is a clear climate alarm bell, while the first years of this century have been the world s hottest since records began, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The result is a seismic shift in corporate awareness of the need to assess physical risk from climate change and to build resilience. For investors, the risk of stranded assets has been brought to the fore by the work of Carbon Tracker. They calculate around 8 % of coal, oil and gas reserves are unburnable, if governments are to meet global commitments to keep the temperature rise below 2 C. This has serious implications for institutional investors portfolios and valuations of companies with fossil fuel reserves. The economic case for action is strengthening. This year, we published the 3% Solution 2 with WWF showing that the US corporate sector could reduce emissions by 3% each year between 2 and 22 and deliver $78 billion in savings above costs as a result. 79% of US companies responding to P report higher ROI on emission reduction investments than on the average business investment. Meanwhile, governments are taking new action: The US Administration has launched its Climate Action Plan, with a new emphasis on reducing emissions from utilities; China is developing air pollution measures and moving toward pilot cap and trade schemes; the UK Government has mandated greenhouse gas emissions reporting for all large listed companies; the EU is looking at improving environmental and other reporting. The pressure on corporations, investors and governments to act continues. At P, we have broadened our work to add forests to climate and water so our programs now extend to an estimated 79% of natural capital, by value 3. To reflect this, we rebranded at the start of the year from the Carbon Disclosure Project to P and are increasing our focus on projects to accelerate action. One explores how corporations influence public policy on climate change both positively and negatively. Some corporations are still acting both directly and through trade associations to prevent the inevitable: nations need sensible climate regulation that protects the public interest over the long term. As countries around the world seek economic growth, strong employment and safe environments, corporations have a unique responsibility to deliver that growth in a way that uses natural resources wisely. The opportunity is enormous and it is the only growth worth having. Paul Simpson CEO P

5 Key Findings 5 ASX2 companies reported almost as many high impact risks associated with regulatory uncertainty as they did from carbon pricing Four ASX2 companies rated the risks associated with uncertainty surrounding new regulation as high in 23. This was only one less than the number of ASX2 companies which rated the risks associated with carbon pricing as high. Companies reported a range of risks associated with uncertainty surrounding new regulation, and many were related to the uncertainty surrounding the Coalition s plans to repeal the Clean Energy Future Act if they won government. Company responses to the P 23 climate change investor information request ( P 23 ) were submitted in May 23, well in advance of the 23 Australian federal election. Only 5% of ASX2 responding companies rated the risks associated with carbon pricing as high in 23 These five companies were: Ardent Leisure, Gindalbie Metals, Origin Energy, Qantas Airways and Transpacific Industries Group. The three ASX2 companies which rated the risks associated with carbon pricing as high in 22 Arrium, David Jones and Origin Energy rated them as medium, low and high respectively in 23. Companies reported a wide range of perspectives on carbon pricing through their P responses, which were submitted in response to P s reporting deadline of 3 May 23. The proportion of ASX2 companies reporting risks from carbon pricing continued to fall in 23 The number of ASX2 companies reporting risks from carbon pricing fell a further 9% to 65% in 23, from 74% in 22 and 86% in 2. As P is a global environmental reporting platform, it should be noted that a number of the risks reported related to carbon pricing schemes that are either being proposed or in operation in other countries and regions, e.g., EU, Canada, India and the western states of the USA. This reduction followed an increase in the proportion of ASX2 responding companies that reported that responsibility for climate change rests at Board and executive level to 77% in 23, up from 75% in 22. ASX2 company perspectives on climate change risks associated with regulatory uncertainty GPT Group The absence of an agreed scheme impacts investment decision making in areas such as alternative energy generation (such as renewables and low-carbon co/tri-generation). Santos The existing uncertainty surrounding new regulation in the international and national political environment makes it more difficult to make investment decisions and gives rise to the risk that actual returns will differ from expected. National Australia Uncertainty may defer business decisions in the short term and could result in increased cost over the longer term. Bank UGL As the Australian political climate changes, there is a level of uncertainly around the level of investment and regulation from government. Santos A repeal of the Clean Energy Act 2 and subsequent implementation of an alternative carbon policy could increase compliance costs, holdings of carbon units without value and an unrealised increase in the demand for gas. Westpac Banking Corporation Wesfarmers CFS Retail Trust The Australian Carbon Price Mechanism commenced Jul 22. The Federal Opposition has stated that it will repeal the scheme if they win election (scheduled for September 23). This will have compliance and revenue obligations for market participants. In the face of a change in Federal Government after the September election, the proposed amendments to climate change policy have not been made public and scale of impact to Wesfarmers is not completely understood. Uncertainty relates to the potential impact of the proposed retail mandatory disclosure on CFX shopping centre assets, which the Federal Government has indicated it intends to introduce post 24. It is proposed to be based on NABERS ratings for retail centres. ASX2 company perspectives on risks associated with carbon pricing Leighton Holdings Crown AMP David Jones Asciano Group Boral Woolworths Limited Duet Group There are carbon pricing policies operating in many countries and planned or piloted schemes in others both nationally and targeting specific sectors. As electricity and fuel costs are increasing, and with the introduction of carbon trading, there is a growing need to find ways to reduce energy use. Current or future regulatory interventions such as an ETS or carbon tax may have financial impacts upon some of the investments managed by AMP Capital. carbon pricing... impacts are now embedded in the Company s cost base and any future changes in policy settings are not likely to deliver material increase in costs above this base position. Possible increase in the cost of customer s products that may make them susceptible to competitor or substitute products, including reduced ability to compete with overseas competitors. Boral has been actively working to reduce emissions... through the participation in a number of voluntary energy and emissions reduction schemes over the last ten years. This will reduce the potential cost imposts and enhance Boral s competitiveness. Discretionary spending by consumers has stalled for a number of reasons and the unknown of carbon pricing has been a cause. While the actual carbon tax impost is able to be passed onto customers in the long term, the new legislation has increased the administrative burden on the asset company management teams.

6 6 Key Findings continued Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (27) 2 Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report (23), The Physical Science Basis 3 org/facts-and-figures/ international/by-sector 4 P (22) Carbon reductions generate positive ROI, cdp.net/presults/ P-Carbon-Action- Report-22.pdf 5 Energetics and P (23), Closing Australia s carbon chasm, SyWQ49 Carbon reduction targets set by most ASX2 and NZX5 companies are short term and do not yet adequately respond to the scale and long-term nature of the climate change challenge we face Scientific evidence shows that we need to cut global emissions by 8-95% below 99 levels by 25 in advanced economies like Australia and New Zealand if we are to avert dangerous climate change and continued disruption to our weather patterns. The latest IPCC report released in September 23 goes further and recommends that total post-industrial emissions of carbon should be limited to a global carbon budget of trillion tonnes. Over half of this carbon budget though has already been spent, i.e. emitted. 2 The role of business in helping achieve the required emissions reductions is crucial as some three quarters of total global emissions are generated by corporations globally. 3 Carbon reduction targets are significant as they indicate a conscious decision and public commitment by a company to focus on achieving emissions reductions. There are many benefits in setting public carbon reduction targets, especially for high emitting companies, including higher profitability and greater likelihood of achieving higher emissions reductions. P research in 22 found that high emitting companies that set absolute emission reduction targets achieved reductions double the rate of those without targets, with % higher profitability. 4 Research by Energetics and P analysing corporate climate change disclosures from P 22 and earlier found that voluntary carbon reduction targets set by over 3 companies operating and reporting emissions in Australia through P could reduce Australia s national emissions by.4% by 22 if these targets were all met and delivered. 5 Two notable examples of longer-term carbon reduction targets set by ASX2 and NZX5 companies are those set by Commonwealth Property Office Fund and Charter Hall for their Sydney CBD buildings to support the City of Sydney s 23 carbon reduction target. Both of these companies have committed to targets to reduce carbon emissions from their Sydney CBD buildings by 7% below 26 levels by 23. Most carbon reduction targets currently set by ASX2 and NZX5 companies though are short term at present. The average target (completion) year for all emission reduction targets reported by ASX2 and NZX5 companies this year through P is 24. Only four ASX2 (and no NZX5) companies - Charter Hall Group, Commonwealth Property Office Fund, Qantas Airways and Sims Metal Management - reported absolute emission reduction targets with a target year of 26 or beyond. Governments can play an important role in setting expectations and legislating requirements for reducing carbon emissions Many of the notable international examples of corporate carbon reduction targets reported through P 23 (see table on page 8) are from companies headquartered in countries with commitments to reduce their emissions by 8% or more by 25 such as the UK, Germany and Japan. 24 Average target (completion) year for all emission reduction targets reported by ASX2 and NZX5 companies Marshalls carbon target for 25 [8% reduction on 99 emission levels] is in line with the UK Government s carbon budget and current scientific thinking in order to meet the challenge of global climate change. Marshalls a UK construction materials company An MOU has been signed with the Sydney City Council to reduce greenhouse emissions by 7% for Sydney CBD buildings using a 26 base year. Commonwealth Property Office Fund Charter Hall is a founding member of the Better Buildings Partnership, established by the City of Sydney to support the reduction of emissions by 7% in Sydney CBD by 23. Charter Hall Group

7 Key Findings continued 7 The UK and Germany have both legislated to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions by 8% below 99 emission levels by 25, while Japan also has a national target to reduce its emissions by 8% below 99 levels by Many of the notable Australian and international examples of corporate carbon reduction targets suggest that governments city, state, national and regional - can and are playing an important role in setting expectations for companies to reduce their carbon emissions, which in turn should reduce the level of climate change risks that investors are exposed to through their investments. The Australian Government s Climate Change Authority recent draft Targets and Progress Review Report 7 presented two sets of draft options for Australia s 22 carbon reduction target and 23 trajectory range: 5% reduction compared with 2 level emissions by 22, and a trajectory range of 35-5% by 23; 25% reduction by 22 and a trajectory range of 4 to 5% by 23. The Climate Change Authority s final report and recommendations for Australia s national emission reduction targets are due to be presented to the Australian Parliament in February Climate Change Authority (23), Global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, climatechangeauthority. gov.au/content/ appendix-b-globalaction-reducegreenhouse-gasemissions 7 Climate Change Authority (23), Reducing Australia s Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Targets and Progress Review Draft Report, climatechangeauthority. gov.au/content/targetsand-progress-reviewexecutive-summary Examples of ASX2 and NZX5 carbon reduction targets reported through P in 23 Company Carbon reduction target Target Year Scope/s and description of target* Commonwealth Property Office Fund Charter Hall Sims Metal Management Metcash Insurance Australia Group BHP Billiton AGL Energy 7% reduction from 26 emission levels 7% reduction from 26 emission levels 5% reduction on 29 emission levels 2% reduction from 29 emission levels 5% year on year reduction target 6% reduction on 26 emission levels 3.5% reduction from 22 emission levels 23 Scope +2+3: An MOU has been signed with the Sydney City Council to reduce greenhouse emissions by 7% for Sydney CBD buildings using a 26 base year. 23 Scope +2: Charter Hall is a founding member of the Better Buildings Partnership, established by the City of Sydney to support the reduction of emissions by 7% in Sydney CBD by Scope +2: SimsMM originally chose absolute targets, but as the company continues to expand significantly through acquisition, it is increasingly clear that such an absolute target is not a meaningful measure of our global activities. Accordingly, the company is now leaning towards relative targets that measure our energy use and carbon emissions against the operational metric of sales tonnes. We have however chosen to report both numbers in this submission. 25 Scope +2: An absolute target was selected as an easily understandable, internal, first carbon target. However Metcash is an extremely fluid business, for example 4 major businesses have been purchased since 29, with many of our operations moving to new premises and some parts of our business divesting sites. This makes target setting difficult to show meaningful information over time. For example, in the 2/2 year, we purchased Franklins which temporarily added 88 supermarket retail stores to our operational control. Our business strategy is to on-sell these store to new independent retailers. Therefore we have particularly high emissions for the /2 financial year. 22 Scope +2+3: IAG has a rolling year on year (5%) reduction target for our Australian, New Zealand, Thai and UK businesses. For the first time in FY2, IAG also included the CO2e emissions from our head-office operations in Singapore. IAG has also achieved its carbon neutrality goal for FY2. 22 Scope +2: The target is calculated as the difference in percentage between actual emissions in the assessment year versus the emissions that would have occurred if the same unit rate of emissions for each product from the base year was applied in the assessment year. 23 Scope 3: Investments: The new Macarthur [wind farm] project will produce approximately,47 GWh (based upon an average capacity factor of 4%). Assuming these GWh displace average grid based electricity in Australia (at.9 tonnes per MWh), the completion of this project will displace.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. With the electricity supply footprint (35.6 million tonnes) making up 77% of the total supply footprint, this represents a reduction in supply footprint emissions of 3.5%. Scope is a core concept of corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting standards of which the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard 8 is the most widely adopted standard. Three scopes are defined in the GHG Protocol for GHG emissions accounting. Scope refers to direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company. Scope 2 refers to indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the company. Scope 3 refers to indirect value chain emissions that are a consequence of the activities of the company, but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the company. 8 GHG Protocol, GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, files/ghgp/public/ghgprotocol-revised.pdf

9 Key Findings continued 9 Big emitters in the ASX2 are responding to market demands for verified climate data 86% of total Scope and Scope 2 GHG emissions reported by ASX2 and NZX5 companies through P 23 had their verification/assurance approved in line with P criteria, a large increase from 53% in 22. This includes over 8% of emissions reported by three of the four most carbon intensive sectors (Energy, Materials and Utilities), and over 9% of emissions in the Consumer Staples, Health Care, Materials, Telecommunications and Utilities sectors. Most of this increase is due to changes in three companies since 22: Rio Tinto, AGL Energy and Origin Energy. Rio Tinto provided higher quality climate change disclosure in P 23 which included 43 million tco 2 -e of their total Scope and 2 emissions being verified and approved in line with P criteria in 23, and their P disclosure score increasing from 82 in 22 to 88 in 23. AGL Energy s verified and approved emissions increased to 22 million tco 2 -e in P 23 from.6m tonnes CO 2 -e in P 22 following its full takeover of Loy Yang A power station. Origin Energy s total Scope emissions of 2.75 million tco 2 -e were also verified and approved in line with P criteria this year. This positive trend will increase trust in climate data and therefore its use. It reflects both the greater emphasis that P has placed on encouraging independent verification and assurance of emissions over the past 2-3 years, as well as changes in mandatory carbon reporting schemes such as NGERS which are increasingly requiring independent, thirdparty verification of carbon emissions. Investors have always demanded accuracy and independent assurance of a company s financial information. Increasingly, they are demanding accuracy and independent assurance of non-financial information as well. However, only 47% of all ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies reported that they had completed verification/ assurance or that it is underway, which was a slight fall from 53% in 22. The sectors which had the lowest levels of emissions verified/assured in line with P criteria were: Information Technology (%), Consumer Discretionary (62%) and Industrials (7%). Furthermore, only 24% of total Scope emissions reported by NZX5 companies had their verification/ assurance approved in line with P criteria, due mostly to the limited disclosure, as well as the low levels of emissions verification achieved by NZX5 companies that are not dual-listed on the ASX. Further work on verification is required by both companies and P to build greater confidence in corporate climate change reporting. Percentage of responding companies Percentage of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies and GHG emissions with approved verification/assurance by sector % of responding companies with verification approved/underway % of total Scope and 2 emissions from sector whose verification/assurance is approved Mechanisms used by ASX 2 and NZX 5 responding companies to directly or indirectly influence policymakers on climate change policy Percentage of responding companies % 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% % % ASX2 and NZX5 companies are providing greater transparency around their engagement with policy makers on climate change P asked a more detailed series of questions around climate change policy engagement in the P 23 climate change questionnaire than it had in previous years. ASX2 and NZX5 company responses to these questions provide greater transparency around what these companies are doing and disclosing on climate change policy engagement. How companies are engaging on climate change policies 56% of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies stated that they engaged with policymakers on climate change legislation through their trade associations, and 47% directly engaged with policymakers. 25% of responding companies stated that they had no influence on climate change policy through their engagement with policy makers. By comparison, 7% of responding companies in P s Global 5 sample (the 5 largest listed companies in the world) stated that they engaged with policymakers on climate change legislation through their trade associations, while 6% directly engaged with policymakers. 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% % % Trade associations 95 4 CS EGY 47 Direct engagement 8 5 FIN 9 7 HC 9 2 Funding research organisations 7 35 IND Other IT 25 No influence MAT 97 5 TC 9 25 UTIL

AGL Energy The Qantas Group directly participated in consultations regarding the design and operation of the Australian Government s carbon pricing mechanism. This resulted in the inclusion of an Opt-in Scheme for liquid transport users that enables large users of liquid fuels to directly manage their carbon liability instead of paying for it through an effective carbon price applied to fuel excise Qantas Airways Types of climate change policies the ASX2 and the NZX5 are engaging on Companies reported that they engaged directly or indirectly with policymakers on a wide range of policies. Approximately a quarter of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies engaged with policy makers on energy efficiency and 9% engaged on mandatory carbon reporting. 25% of responding companies disclosed that they engaged directly or indirectly with policy makers on carbon pricing and only 4% of companies reported that they were opposed to these types of legislation. These levels of policy engagement on carbon taxes and cap and trade schemes are surprisingly low given the prominence of the carbon tax debate in Australia in recent years. Compared to their peers in the Global 5, reported levels of policy engagement are relatively low. For instance, over half of the responding Global 5 companies reported through P 23 that they engaged with policymakers on energy efficiency, while over a third reported engaging on clean energy generation, mandatory carbon reporting and cap and trade. Perspectives on direct engagement around carbon pricing policies Only 4% of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies reported through P 23 that they were opposed to various carbon pricing (carbon tax and cap & trade) policies in their direct engagement with policy makers. 7% reported that they supported some policies with major exceptions, 7% reported that they supported some carbon pricing policies, and a further 5% supported some with minor exceptions. It should be noted that, as P operates a global reporting platform, a number of these direct engagements around carbon pricing policies reported were outside Australia and NZ, for example in Europe. Support with exceptions News Corporation is supportive of sensible climate change legislation and has lobbied the Australian government on the matter through the Australian Sustainable Industry Business Group. The company has also been vocal on the AU carbon tax/emissions trading scheme. News Corporation Rio Tinto supports the use of market based mechanisms that recognise the vulnerability of the trade exposed sector to international competition and warrant transition assistance until the vast majority of global emissions are covered by comparable policies. Rio Tinto Opposed I think the unilateral imposition of a tax as has occurred in the EU is not the right path forward.

11 Key Findings continued Companies are yet to report emissions from the most relevant parts of their value chains The majority (85%) of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies disclosed scope and 2 emissions from their operations, and 54% of companies disclosed scope 3 emissions from their value chain activities. While companies were able to identify the most carbon intensive activities from their value chains, the emissions of nearly half (47%) of these activities are yet to be quantified. The Bank has begun to determine thresholds for reporting of emissions associated with projects. This includes all projects that meet the Australian Government definition of emissions intensive (used for determining emissions intensive trade exposed industries) but limited reporting to deals closed within the reporting year. This year only one refinancing project met this criteria however in future the Bank will limit reporting to financing of new projects closed within the reporting year. The Bank undertakes responsible lending assessments for all project financing. Before deciding whether to fund a project, the Institutional Banking and Markets team undertakes due diligence on all projects and uses a dedicated Risk Appetite Statement that includes environment, social and governance (ESG) risk mitigation and the impact of carbon on the project. Instead of measuring carbon-intensive activities in their value chain, companies often focus on relatively insignificant opportunities for carbon reductions in their value chains. The disparity in the proportion of companies reporting the different types of scope 3 activities and the actual scope 3 emissions reported for each of these activities. While use of sold products is reported by only 4.5% of companies, it accounts for 76% of reported scope 3 emissions. Meanwhile, 38% of companies report emissions from business travel, which accounts for only.6% of total reported scope 3 emissions. The importance of different scope 3 categories varies between sectors. However, companies do not always report their primary sources of scope 3 emissions. For example, while 67% of responding companies from the Financials sector report emissions associated with business travel, only three (%) Financials sector companies report emissions from their investments, where the significant majority of their scope 3 emissions originate. Similarly, % of Industrials, % of Materials and 22% of Energy sector companies from the ASX2 and NZX5 report emissions from the use of sold products, which is where the majority of their scope 3 emissions are likely to come from. Overall, this suggests that the scope 3 reporting practices of many companies may not reflect the full carbon impact of their activities. In 22 the Bank also developed sector specific policies guiding the assessment of environmental and social risk, for use when financing in the natural resources (mining and oil and gas extraction) and utilities (including renewables) sectors.

12 2 Response Analysis Breakdown of the ASX2 companies by GICS sector as at 3 December 22 Breakdown of the NZX5 companies by GICS sector as at 3 December 22 Consumer Discretionary Energy Health Care Information Technology Telecommunication Services Consumer Staples Financials Industrials Materials Utilities Consumer Discretionary Energy Health Care Information Technology Telecommunication Services Consumer Staples Financials Industrials Materials Utilities The Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) 2 and New Zealand Exchange ( NZX ) 5 are samples representing the 2 and the 5 largest listed companies, by market capitalisation, of the ASX and NZX respectively. Throughout this report, subsets of the ASX2 and NZX5 samples of companies are separately analysed for comparison including the ASX5, the ASX, the ASX2 and the NZX5. Consistent with reports of previous years, the Global Industry Classification Standard ( GICS ) is used to classify companies into sectors. The ASX2 continues to be dominated by the Materials and Financials sectors, which represent approximately 25% and 8% of companies respectively. In comparison, only 8% of the NZX5 companies are from the Materials sector. The Financials (26%) and Consumer Discretionary (22%) are the largest two sectors of the NZX5. The overall response rate for ASX2 and NZX5 companies is 47%. The response rates for the ASX2 and the NZX5 remained unchanged from 22 at 5% and 42% respectively. While the ASX response rate is slightly lower at 69% (down from 7% in 22), this is mainly due to changes in the relative market capitalisation of responding companies such as Aquila Resources, Atlas Iron and David Jones which moved from the ASX into the ASX2 from P The ASX5 response rate increased to 9% in 23 from 84% in 22. As the P provides a valuable medium for companies to disclose their management response to climate change risks and opportunities, there was an expectation that the commencement of the carbon price in Australia would be a driver of a higher ASX2 response rate this year, however this is not the case. Responding companies represent 89% of the ASX2 total market capitalisation (up from 85% in 22), 97% of the ASX5 market capitalisation and 92% (up slightly from 9% in 22) of the NZX5 total market capitalisation. Transparency of responding companies is generally high. The vast majority of responding companies choose to make their responses public (ASX2: 85% (virtually unchanged from 84% in 22), NZX5: 8% (up from 76% in 22)). Fluctuating market capitalisations resulted in a significant change in the companies included in the ASX2 and NZX5 this year. 24 companies invited to respond this year had not been invited to respond to P 22. P welcomes the participation of new responding companies. 8 ASX 2 and NZX 5 companies responded to the P 23 climate change information request after not responding to P 22. Four of these are Financials companies (ASX, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Challenger and Platinum Asset Management), three are Industrials companies (Aurizon Holdings, Freightways and Transpacific Industries), three are retailers (Pumpkin Patch, The Reject Shop and Trade Me), two are Health Care companies (Acrux and ResMed) and two are Telecommunications Services companies (SingTel and Telecom Corporation of New Zealand). 3 companies that responded to P 22 did not do so this year three of these are Industrials companies (ALS, Transurban Group and Virgin Australia Holdings) and three are media companies (Fairfax Media, Sky Network Television and Ten Network Holdings). Response rates within the ASX2 were highest in the Financials (76%), Consumer Staples (7%) and Utilities (57%) sectors.

14 4 Climate disclosure scores and climate performance bands Climate performance elements Performance band (A is highest) Each year, company responses to P s climate change information request are analysed and scored against two parallel scoring schemes: disclosure and performance. What does a climate disclosure score represent? The climate disclosure score assesses the completeness and quality of a company s response. A high disclosure score signals that a company provided comprehensive information about the measurement and management Climate disclosure score Low Midrange High (<5) (5-7) (>7) Limited or restricted ability to measure and disclose climate related risks, opportunities and overall carbon emissions Increased understanding and measurement of companyspecific risks and opportunities related to climate change Disclosure score (MAX. ) The journey to leadership Compliance Managing for value Senior management understand the business issues related to climate change and are building climate related risks and opportunities into core business Strategic advantage Band A/A- Fully integrated climate change strategy driving significant maturity in climate change initiatives Band B Integration of climate change recognized as priority for strategy, not all initiatives fully established Band C Some activity on climate change with varied levels of integration of those initiatives into strategy Band D Limited evidence of mitigation or adaptation initiatives and no/limited strategy on climate change Band E Little evidence of initiatives on carbon management potentially due to companies just beginning to take action on climate change No performance band allocated below a disclosure score of 5 of its carbon footprint, its climate change strategy and risk management processes and outcomes. What does a climate performance band represent? Where a company s disclosure score is 5 or more, its performance in contributing to climate change mitigation, adaptation and transparency is assessed and ranked in a climate performance band. Its intent is to highlight positive climate action as demonstrated by a company s P response. Disclosure scores of less than 5 do not necessarily indicate poor performance; rather, they indicate insufficient information to evaluate performance. Performance scores are grouped into six bands: A, A-, B, C, D and E (see boxed text: Climate performance elements). A high performance band signals that a company is measuring, verifying and managing its carbon footprint, for example by setting and meeting carbon reduction targets and implementing programs to reduce emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain. What a climate performance band does NOT represent It is important for investors to keep in mind that the climate performance band is not: A measure of how low carbon a company is An assessment of the extent to which a company s actions have reduced carbon intensity relative to other companies in its sector An assessment of how material a company s actions are relative to the business; the score simply recognises evidence of action Reporting of climate disclosure and performance scores Disclosure and performance scores were combined into one P score in 22, e.g., a company that scored 7 for disclosure and a C band for performance would achieve a P score of 7 C. The scores of all ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies are made publicly available, including companies whose response is non-public and only available to P s investor signatories. A listing of ASX2 and NZX5 companies and their P 23 scores is included in the Responding companies section. Public scores are available in P reports, through the P website, Bloomberg Terminals, Google Finance and Deutsche Boerse s website. P s Climate Leadership Indices The highest scoring companies for disclosure and/or performance in each sample (e.g., ASX2) enter the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (LI) and/or the Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI). P: the most credible corporate sustainability ranking in the world P s Climate Leadership Indices were recognised as the most credible corporate sustainability ranking in the world in a global survey of 85 sustainability experts in over 7 countries (GlobeScan/Sustainability, Rate the Raters, Phase Five: Polling the Experts 22).

15 P 23 ASX2 and NZX5 Climate Performance Leadership Indices 5 The Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) includes the companies in the highest performance band (A) and provides a valuable perspective on the range and quality of activities being performed by the ASX2 and NZX5 companies in response to climate change. Eligibility for the CPLI To enter the CPLI (i.e., Performance Band A), a company must: Make its response public and submit via P s Online Response System Attain a disclosure score greater than 5 Attain a performance score greater than 85 Disclose gross global scope and scope 2 figures Score maximum performance points for verification of scope and scope 2 emissions Score maximum performance points on question 2.a for greenhouse gas emissions reductions due to emission reduction actions over the past year (i.e., a minimum of 4% or more in emission reductions achieved due to emission reduction actions) Notes Band A- (A minus) companies are not in the CPLI. They are strong performers, with a performance score high enough to warrant inclusion in the CPLI but they do not meet all other CPLI requirements. There are 4 A- organisations in the ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies in 23. P reserves the right to exclude any company from the CPLI if there is anything in its response or other publicly available information that calls into question its suitability for inclusion.

Two companies are included on the P 23 NZX5 CPLI, an increase of one company from P 22. Of the 243 ASX2 and NZX5 companies that were requested to respond to P 23, seven companies were included in both the ASX2 and NZX5 CPLIs, an increase from six companies in 22. Compared to their peers globally, this is a commendable achievement as: Five companies were included on the P Nordic 26 CPLI in 23 (a sample of 26 companies) Two companies were included on the P Canada 2 CPLI in 23

16 6 Commentary on performance scores by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) The ASX2 and NZX5 had an average performance band of C in 23, which was an increase from a D band average in 22. Companies in P s Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) distinguish themselves by providing transparency to the activities and results from integrating climate mitigation into corporate planning and demonstrating the achievement of emissions reductions. In 23, the ASX2 and NZX5 indices welcome 7 out of 2 (6%) companies to the leadership index, an increase from 6 in 22. Three companies (Commonwealth Property Office Fund, National Australia Bank and Westpac Banking Corporation) were named to the index for the fourth consecutive year and demonstrated a continuing corporate commitment to effective climate management and reducing carbon emissions from their internal operations. Commonwealth Bank of Australia returned to the CPLI in 23, and 3 companies (David Jones, Dexus Property Group, and Kiwi Income Property Trust) are new to the index in 23. What defines a performance leader? From FCS experience in scoring over 5 companies since 2, FCS has noted that a number companies would have achieved inclusion in the CPLI had they strengthened a few key areas in their P response. In 23, the areas that are the most notable in distinguishing leaders from the highest scoring non-cpli companies are: Establishing board-level oversight on climate planning along with monetary incentives for emission reductions Providing substantive detail on how climate change is integrated into risk management and corporate strategic planning Setting Scope and Scope 2 reduction targets Disclosing evidence of Scope & Scope 2 emission reduction activities that delivered significant results (>4% reductions year over year) Providing independent 3rd party assurance of Scope, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions Scoring observations Three companies (Mirvac Group, CFS Retail Property Trust, and Insurance Australia Group) fell out of the CPLI in performance band distribution of ASX2 and NZX5 responding companies ASX2 Dual-listed: ASX2 and NZX5 NZX5 (No Band) (Low Band) (Mid Band) (High Band) Number of companies No E D C B A- Band Performance Band No band, Low, Mid and High band group percentage values are rounded to the nearest percentage 3 5 A An additional 8% of responding companies would have reached a performance band A or A- had they achieved deeper emission reductions in the reporting year due to emission reduction initiatives. A further 4% of responding companies would have received a B for performance if they demonstrated additional strength in one or more of the following areas: providing financial incentives, risk management procedures, additional detail on how climate change was integrated into business strategies, or details surrounding intensity targets.

17 Commentary on performance scores by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) continued 7 The combined ASX2 and NZX5 performance leaders outperformed the regional average across all performance categories, but most notably in Emissions Performance and Verification / Stakeholder Engagement. This is largely due to corporate carbon reduction initiatives that achieved significant reductions in carbon emissions, and the independent third-party verification of carbon emissions inventories (Scope, 2, and 3). Areas where ASX2 and NZX5 climate performance leaders excel ASX2 Average Band CPLI Average Band NZX5 Average Band CPLI Average Band Governance Overall the top achieving sectors for Performance in 23 were Financials and Consumer Discretionary, with all of the performance leader index companies coming from these two sectors. The sector with the lowest performance is Information Technology, which had only 2 participating companies. The average performance band for carbon intensive sectors (Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Utilities) was a C with no sector standing out from the others. Amcor is the only company within these sectors that stood out by receiving an A- band. Other companies achieving high performance bands from these carbon intensive sectors included: Qantas Airways, Leighton Holdings, Downer EDI and Brambles, illustrating strong performance scoring in the B band. Eleven () of 5 (22%) high emitting companies failed to achieve a disclosure score above 5, and therefore are ineligible for a performance band.

Three Financials companies - Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac Banking Corporation and Kiwi Income Property Trust - scored very highly in emissions performance. Overall, 29% of ASX2 and NZX5 companies received a D or E band for Emissions Performance, with another 23% failing to receive a band.

The highest ASX2 score in P 23 is up 3 points from the top score of 97 in P 22. As the P questionnaire and scoring methodology has largely remained unchanged between P 22 and P 23, scores can be compared year on year. The highest NZX5 responding company disclosure score in P 23 is 97, achieved by Kiwi Income Property Trust (KIPT). This is a ten point increase on the highest NZX5 score of 87 in P 22, as well as a significant increase of 28 points on KIPT s P 22 score. The minimum score for inclusion in the ASX2 LI in P 23 is 85, a point lower than is the minimum score for inclusion in the NZX5 LI this year, which is eight points higher than P 22. The ASX2 LI has an average score of 9, which is unchanged from P 22. The NZX5 LI has an average score of 89, which is 8 points higher than P 22.

20 2 Commentary on disclosure scores by FirstCarbon Solutions Number of companies ASX2 and NZX5 companies demonstrated high quality and completeness in their P 23 climate change disclosures, particularly in the categories of Governance and Emissions Reporting. 5 companies that achieved membership of the P 23 ASX2 and NZX5 Climate Disclosure Leadership Indices repeated their achievement for a third consecutive year, demonstrating a consistent commitment to providing high quality climate disclosure. Five companies (Mirvac Group, Spotless Group, Stockland, Transurban Group, and Virgin Australia Holdings) fell out of the LI, two (Rio Tinto and Westfield Group) returned following an absence in 22, and CSL and David Jones returned followed an absence in 2-2. Investa Office Fund is a new addition to the P ASX2 LI in Disclosure Score Distribution of ASX2 and NZX5 Responding Companies ASX2 NZX5 Dual-listed: ASX2 and NZX5 4 6 (Low Score) 24% (Mid Score) 29% (High Score) 47% Disclosure Score Note: Low, Mid and High score group percentage values are rounded 9 The chart above illustrates the distribution of scores by participating ASX2 and NZX5 companies in 23. Two companies achieved perfect disclosure scores of while 24% of responding companies failed to achieve a disclosure score above customers, these companies establish themselves as trusted and responsible organizations. Every year, the minimum disclosure score to achieve LI differs based on the whole group of participating companies. In general, the required disclosure scores increase year over year. This means that companies usually need to continue to maintain and improve their disclosures even at the highest levels to ensure inclusion in the LI. From FCS experience in scoring over 5 companies since 2, FCS has noted that a number companies would have achieved inclusion in the LI had they strengthened a few key areas in their P response. In 23, the areas that were most notable in distinguishing LI members from the highest scoring non-li companies are: Setting and achieving Scope and Scope 2 emission reduction targets Establishing mitigation strategies for the risks and opportunities associated with climate change Demonstrating how climate change is integrated into risk planning and corporate strategy Obtaining independent, third party assurance of Scope, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions according to a standard that complies with P s verification standards In 23: 24% of responding companies that did not achieve LI level scores would have reached LI equivalent disclosure scores had they demonstrated an increased understanding and measurement of company specific exposures to climate-related risks and opportunities. 7% of responding companies that did not achieve LI fell short by failing to provide third party verification of emissions data. 2% of non-li companies missed the LI by failing to clearly define how climate was integrated into corporate planning or providing a specific climate risk management process. 4% of non-li companies failed to achieve LI due to insufficiency in reported Scope 3 emissions or achievement of Scope, 2 or 3 emission reduction targets. What defines a climate disclosure leader? Companies in P s Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (LI) demonstrate the highest level of quality and thoroughness in climate disclosure within their geographic region. To start, LI companies have a strong foundation of internal data management practices that facilitate accurate and complete reporting. Additionally, LI companies demonstrate integrated climate change management in terms of business strategy, risk management, and emission reductions. With established board-level oversight, as well as transparency and outreach with both suppliers and

Climate Change Reporting Framework The Climate Disclosure Standards Board (SB), a special project of P, is an international organization committed to the integration of climate change-related information into mainstream corporate reporting. SB s internationally accepted Climate Change Reporting Framework is designed for use by companies in making disclosures in, or linked to, their mainstream financial reports about the risks and opportunities that climate change presents to their strategy, financial performance and condition. Designed in-line with the objectives of financial reporting and rules on non-financial reporting, the Climate Change Reporting Framework offers a leading example of how to apply the principles of integrated reporting with respect to reporting on climate change.

23 Key emission statistics Scope emissions 23 Total Scope emissions for the ASX2 increased from 7 million tco 2 -e in P 22 to 26 million tco 2 -e in P 23. This is largely due to AGL Energy s reported emissions increasing from.6m tonnes CO 2 -e in P 22 to 2.7 million tco 2 -e in P 23 following its full takeover of Loy Yang A power station. It is also partly due to changes in the reporting sample Virgin Australia Holdings reported almost 3 million tco 2 -e in P 22, but did not respond to P 23. This drop in ASX2 Scope emissions was partly compensated for by two new responding companies in P 23 Aurizon Holdings and Transpacific Industries which reported a combined.6 million tco 2 -e in Scope emissions. Total NZX5 Scope emissions were unchanged from P 22 at 3.9 million tco 2 -e. KS5.

Total Scope 2 emissions reported by ASX2 responding companies declined from 63 million tco 2 -e in P 22 to 6 million tco 2 -e in P 23.
