CSL Ltd Annual Report 2020

Ethical conduct CSL operates in a diverse and complex marketplace where bribery and corruption are risks that could expose the organisation and employees to possible prosecution, fines and imprisonment. CSL has a number of commercial arrangements with governments and related agencies across various geographies, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Market practices are governed by company-specific policies and procedures. Internal compliance mechanisms and control systems are directly supported by the Global Business Integrity team and subject to additional oversight by CSL’s Global Compliance Committee (GCC), regional committees, and CSL’s Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board. Based on these controls, we consider our overall risk relating to corruption to be low and are committed to ensuring full compliance in how we conduct our operations across all regions in which we operate and those we are seeking to enter. CSL’s Code of Responsible Business Practice (CRBP) underpins our commitment to operating with the highest integrity in the marketplace. From 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, 136 reports were identified for the attention of management through our global hotline. For substantiated allegations, corrective actions were taken to the extent warranted. For matters closed during the reporting period, no allegations resulted in any regulatory action or action by law enforcement authorities indicating an increase in CSL’s overall risk profile. 136 hotline reports received with no allegations resulting in any regulatory action or action by law enforcement authorities. In addition, over the reporting period, our operations conducted an annual assessment of bribery and corruption risk within their businesses. This is achieved by means of a standardised questionnaire that is completed and the responses reviewed with the GCC. During the reporting period, these assessments did not identify any material corruption risks. CSL’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance has been recognised by the FTSE4Good Index Series, a leading sustainability index, for the last 9 years. Living with haemophilia A hasn’t stopped Sydneysider SamDuffield from living life to the fullest. The bleeding disorder typically has a family history; however, Sam is the first in his family with haemophilia A and was diagnosed when he was one year old. Sam has not let his condition hold him back. He loves to travel and has explored Japan, Europe, the United States, Panama and Myanmar. Haemophilia hasn’t deterred Sam from trying new experiences, such as night scuba diving, rockclimbing, surfing and, once, jumping out of a helicopter. Sam says he won’t let haemophilia get in the way of “living a regular life”. His advice to others living with the condition is, “Never let your bleeding disorder hold you back.” Sam Duffield CSL Limited Annual Report 2020 42 A Trusted Health Partner 9
