CSL conducts a detailed sustainability materiality assessment every two years, with our most recent assessment undertaken in early 2022. The prioritised results of our assessment are available within this report and on CSL.com. In addition, this year, we compared CSL’s materiality assessment with that of Vifor Pharma, and while there were minor variations, an enterprise-wide assessment will be conducted in financial year 2024. In addition to an independent audit of our consolidated financial accounts, limited assurance on a selection of corporate responsibility (CR) metrics has been provided by Ernst & Young, and an assurance statement for non-financial indicators can be found on page 81. Further, more detailed Group and sustainability information, including CSL’s materiality assessment, can be found on CSL.com (Sustainability). Legal notice: This report is intended for global use.

Forward-looking statements This report contains forward-looking statements including statements with respect to future company compliance and performance. This report also includes forward-looking statements regarding climate change and other environmental and energy transition scenarios. While these forward-looking statements reflect CSL’s expectations at the date of this report, they are not guarantees or predictions of future performance or statements of fact. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause the Group’s actual results, performances or achievements to differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include changes in government and policy; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities such as changes in taxation or regulation (or approvals under regulation); the effect of economic conditions; technological developments in the healthcare field; advances in environmental protection processes; and geopolitical developments. There are also limitations with respect to scenario analysis, and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenario analysis is not an indication of probable outcomes and relies on assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct or eventuate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable laws or regulations, CSL does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.
