How to read this

This is a disclosure of sustainability performance and targets rather than a financial or corporate action. It reports reductions achieved in emissions and energy use, resource and circularity initiatives, workforce and governance metrics, and medium- and long-term environmental targets. Management commentary links sustainability to operational efficiency and the responsible use of resources, and refers to FY2026-27 targets for renewable energy and biofuel.
