###### Governance | Accountability & collaboration

We believe the best way to drive an effective sustainability program is to work as one Atlassian team. That's why we've integrated our sustainability initiatives into the business.

Starting at the top, our founders/co-CEOs Mike and Scott meet with the head of sustainability quarterly to provide input and track progress against goals. We are exploring our approach to board engagement in fiscal year 2022.

Our Head of Sustainability, Jessica Hyman, reports to Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel, Erika Fisher. Erika sits on our executive team and manages the relationship with our Board of Directors. The Head of Foundation, Mark Reading, reports to the founders." [...] "###### Governance | Working groups

The Sustainability team is responsible for separating the signals from the noise and uniting teams across our business. This team is lean by design, focusing on collaboration

with groups driving operational change within Atlassian.

To achieve this, we've organized issue-specific working groups:

###### Planet

Our climate working group includes team members from Sustainability, Treasury, Procurement, Risk, Policy, Foundation, Workplace Experience, and Real Estate. Group members are pulled into climate projects and consult with each other as needed on data collection, sustainable building, supplier engagement, climate-related risk, employee engagement, and policy advocacy.

##### Reporting lines
###### Starting at the top, our Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Mike and Scott meet with the Chief Sustainability Officer quarterly to provide input and track progress against goals. We update the Board of Directors at least annually on our strategy, progress, and challenges. While our work crosses all of Atlassian, there are three teams with full-time responsibility for driving progress on the items in this report: Sustainability, DEI, and Foundation. During this reporting year, the Sustainability team moved to the Legal department, while DEI remained within People, which better reflects the type of work and most frequent collaborators for each team. The Chief Sustainability Officer maintained dual reporting into the Legal and People teams through the reporting year, as we evolved to the next phase of our org structure in fiscal year 2024. We remain confident that in building these two teams together we've set foundations that ensure we progress the E, S, and G together. For example, we have upheld rhythms and practices to maintain cross-functional collaboration and strongly believe that Sustainability and DEI should not be siloed from each other, as each area of expertise informs, strengthens, and complements the other. Team data are as of June 30, 2023. [...] ##### Sustainability

#### Public policy efforts
###### The Sustainability and Public Policy teams work together on a variety of initiatives to advocate for our values before governments and public agencies. That included joining corporate leaders and Ceres to urge the U.S. Congress to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. We celebrated the passage of this bill, which is ushering in significant investments in clean energy and climate equity, at the White House in September 2022. We also signed the Human Rights Campaign Count Us In pledge, reaffirming our commitment to LGBTQ+ equality in and outside of our workplaces. Atlassian made corporate donations to support the people of Ukraine, including over US$3 million to Future Ukraine Limited (established by the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations and covering both humanitarian support in Ukraine and support for Ukrainian refugees in Australia) and over US$1.5 million to the United Ukraine Appeal (supporting food aid and civilian bomb shelters).
