ESG reporting

Doing business in a clear, open way is a commitment we work hard to keep, and we promote transparency where possible throughout our industry. We have voluntarily reported on our environmental and social performance since 2007.

Our sustainability reporting focuses on the challenges that most affect our business performance and matter most to our key stakeholders.

  1. Number of lost time incidents x 100,000 divided by the number of hours worked. Lost time incidents are those resulting in absence from work for a minimum of one working day, excluding the day the incident incurred.
  2. A training day is a minimum of six hours of training.
  3. Scope 1 is direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the Group and Scope 2 is indirect emissions generated from purchased energy. The 2019 baseline was 20,903 tonnes CO2e. A 2019 baseline has been applied as 2020 performance was impacted by Covid.
  4. All indirect emissions not included in Scope 2 that occur in limited categories of our value chain as measured by the Toitū ‘carbonreduce’ scheme. The 2019 baseline was 6,339 tonnes CO2e.
  5. New KPI. Wider Scope 3 emissions are those outside our direct control, such as carbon embodied in materials or generated from buildings after we have handed them over.
  6. The 2019 baseline was 12,078 tonnes CO2e.

Reporting standards and frameworks

Framework
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) See our 2023 annual report for our latest TCFD disclosures.
Science-based targets Science-based targets provide a clearly-defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth.

Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

All our targets have been aligned to a 1.5°C scenario and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Global Reporting Initiative Our annual report and responsible business data sheet has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option. See our 2023 GRI Content Index.

The GRI was established in 1997 in partnership with the United Nations’ Environment Programme. It is an international, multi-stakeholder and independent institution whose mission is to develop and disseminate globally applicable Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. These guidelines are for voluntary use by organisations for reporting on the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of their activities, products and services. 

We recognise the value of the GRI in assisting the process of improving disclosure by identifying sustainability indicators, and in enhancing the comparability and standardisation of reporting. We began to work with the GRI in 1999 to test their guidelines and support their further development.
