NEXTDC prioritises transparency and accountability in its governance practices. Our Corporate Governance Statement outlines our commitment to ethical decision-making and compliance with regulatory standards. Our ESG activities and goals are directly linked to our overall corporate governance framework, furthering transparency in our sustainability efforts. [...] To further enhance our governance framework, the ESG Council was established in October 2023 to provide strategic oversight and drive our sustainability agenda. The Council meets bi-monthly, is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and comprises team members from diverse business functions that play a pivotal role in executing our ESG strategy. [...] The NEXTDC Board oversees climate-related risks and opportunities as part of its corporate governance responsibility. With regular updates from the Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC), the Board also executes its responsibility for the implementation of our risk management framework and ESG strategy, including our net zero roadmap. The ESG Council, through the CRO, keeps the ARMC and the Board updated on our initiatives and progress. [...] Responsibility for climate change-related decisions at NEXTDC cascades from the CEO to the Executive Leadership Team, whose strategic direction and implementation are guided primarily by the Head of Sustainability and Head of Energy, the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Operating Officer. The CEO holds the Executive Leadership Team accountable for various measures, including initiatives related to climate change. [...] Issues related to sustainability inform our strategy and are embedded in our capital allocation decisions, overseen by the Investment Committee. This Committee evaluates factors such as customer experience, environmental impacts, reputational risks, strategic alignment, and operational safety. [...] NEXTDC engages with stakeholders, including proxy advisors and shareholders, to discuss climate change and ESG matters. Our commitment to ethical practices and corporate social responsibility is reflected in our compliance with regulations and our efforts to continuously improve working conditions and safety standards. [...] Due to the nature of NEXTDC's business and the variety of climate-related risks and opportunities, these are managed through multiple functions. Market risks, such as increasing energy prices and renewable energy opportunities, are managed by our Head of Energy and commercial teams. Policy and legal risks are managed through our Risk and Legal teams. Physical risks are managed by risk owners throughout the Company in consultation with our Head of Risk and Compliance and Head of Sustainability. Our Management is responsible for managing risk through our Enterprise Risk Management process, with oversight by our Board of Directors.
