The committee is guided by the board-approved Sustainability Committee Charter and environmental policy and management system. The committee comprises members from various business areas to ensure all sustainability aspects are considered. Key executives and managers are responsible for implementing Truworths' policies and the board's strategies. The Sustainability Committee reports to the Truworths board and provides feedback to the Social and Ethics Committee quarterly. [...] The Social and Ethics Committee's strategy to ensure ESG risks and opportunities are integrated with overarching strategies and action plans includes: - Assessing material issues - Making recommendations towards developing ESG strategies - Reviewing and agreeing on management's action plans - Considering risk management policies - Proposing performance objectives - Monitoring implementation and performance of objectives - Overseeing progress against goals and targets

Guided by our Sustainability Committee and supported by our Joint Deputy CEOs and Social and Ethics Committee, Truworths is well-equipped to navigate the challenging sustainability landscape and develop emerging opportunities that enhance our ability to deliver significant positive impacts over time. [...] In addition to its responsibility for maintaining a sound corporate governance framework, the board is ultimately responsible for the Group's environmental and social practices, and accordingly has oversight responsibility for the environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy and performance. The board has delegated its responsibility for monitoring the Group's ESG performance, particularly in relation to environmental and social matters, to the Social and Ethics Committee. Details of the Social and Ethics Committee's activities during the year and how it assisted the board to monitor the Group's ESG performance is contained in the Social and Ethics Committee Report 2024 available on the website www.truworths.co.za/reports. Alongside the Social and Ethics Committee, the Truworths International Risk Committee, the Truworths Ltd Transformation Committee and the Truworths Ltd Sustainability Committee contribute to effective sustainability governance in the Group.

The Sustainability Committee secretary works within the Project Office and is well versed in project management and execution. The Sustainability Committee is responsible for assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities and strategic climate decisions. Through extensive and ongoing analysis of current operating practices – including interviews with relevant staff, consultation with external experts and review of leading organisation initiatives – the Sustainability Committee identifies shortcomings and opportunities for conducting business more sustainably. We prioritise these and set short and long-term goals and targets. We regularly review adherence to goals and set targets with modifications made as and when needed. Membership of the Sustainability Committee was recently expanded to include representation from our Office operations in the UK, and broader representation within Truworths Limited, including in relation to employee relations and human rights matters.
