CSL Ltd Annual Report 2021

9. Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability Performance CSL has an Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System that its facilities operate to industry and regulatory standards. This system includes compliance with government regulations and commitments for continuous improvement of health and safety in the workplace, as well as minimising the impact of operations on the environment. To drive this system, CSL implemented an EHS Management System (EHSMS) Standard. Internal audits at three sites demonstrated compliance with the EHSMS in 2020/21. Completion of the remaining internal audits are planned over the next year. Development, implementation and improvement of employee health and safety processes and programs continue to focus on enhancement of a strong safety culture. Our Australian operations continue classification as an established licensee in respect to CSL’s self-insurance licence as granted by the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission. Australian and foreign laws regulate environmental and safety obligations and waste discharge quotas. Government agency audits and site inspections monitor CSL environmental and safety performance. The following is a summary of findings identified or with continued action over the reporting period. In 2021, CSL, Parkville (Australia) submitted a remediation feasibility study and clean-up plan for identified groundwater contamination to the environmental authority which was assessed by an EPA appointed auditor who confirmed the site has complied with the EPA clean up notice. CSL will continue to monitor the matter as part of its ongoing environmental monitoring plan. In 2021, CSL signed a consent agreement for our site in Kankakee and paid a US$527,144 civil penalty to the federal environmental authority for breaches of the Clean Air Act identified during a 2018 inspection. The inspection identified a number of deficiencies in the site’s risk management practices related to the Act. CSL has taken steps to comply with the regulator’s requirements, including additional resources to support ongoing risk management activities. In 2021, CSL Plasma, Oak Park (US) received a citation from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for not having a plumbed eyewash station in place. The incident was categorised ‘Other Than Serious’ with no fine. In 2021, Seqirus, Holly Springs (US) received a Notice of Violation from the local water authority for a wastewater discharge of chlorine in exceedance of the local limit. No fine was issued. As part of compliance and continuous improvement in regulatory and voluntary environmental performance, CSL continues to report on key environmental aspects, including energy consumption, emissions, water use and management of waste as part of CSL’s annual reporting on CSL.com (see Corporate Responsibility) and submission to the CDP (previously known as Carbon Disclosure Project). CSL has met its reporting obligations under the Australian Government’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act (2007) and Victorian Government’s Industrial Waste Management Policy (National Pollutant Inventory). Monitoring environment, climate change risks, and control measures means that CSL is ready for new and emerging regulatory requirements. CSL’s environmental performance is particularly important and relevant to select stakeholders and CSL reaffirms its commitment to continue to participate in initiatives such as CDP’s (climate change and water disclosures) to help inform investors of its environmental management approach and performance. Additional EHS performance details, including workplace safety, can be found in Our Future Prospects, in the Global Reach and Impact section of the 2021 Annual Report and on CSL.com . 10.
