- 76% increase in Group’s 12-month rolling Accident Incident Rate (AIR) compared to the prior year (155 vs 88)
- 13.5% increase in Group’s 12-month rolling All Accident Incident Rate (AAIR) compared to the prior year (363 vs 320)
- Increased Significant Environmental Incident Rate (SEIR) from 21 in FY23 (80% related to extreme rainfall)
- Achieving Scope 3 climate targets relies in part on technological improvements and innovation within the supply chain which, in the short and medium term, may be prohibitively expensive where contract budgets do not allow for this cost.
- Emerging disclosure requirements, e.g. ISSB, creates additional reporting burden and associated auditing and administrative costs.
- Various acute physical events related to climate change (storms, floods, wildfires, etc.) could disrupt supply chains and operations
- Long-term climate impacts on productivity
