CSL views environmental stewardship as its responsibility and an opportunity to build healthier and more sustainable communities. CSL is committed to conducting all its operations in a way that minimises negative impact on the environment, and aims to protect biodiversity and conserve natural resources. CSL has an established Environment, Health, Safety (EHS) function and an EHS management system that enable CSL facilities to operate to industry and regulatory standards. In line with CSL’s commitment to promoting environmental protection, there were no significant environmental breaches1 at CSL sites during the reporting period. In FY2025, CSL continued to execute on its Healthier Environment initiatives with the inclusion of Biodiversity as a focus area. 1. A significant environmental breach is defined as a non-compliance with environmental legislation in the jurisdiction in which the event occurs, that has an impact rating of major or critical for environmental or regulatory dimensions as per CSL’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework 2. In 2022, CSL announced its initial target to reduce emissions associated with its own operations by 40%. This target has since been updated to 42% to align with the SBTi’s reporting period for calendar years. CSL’s Scope 3-related target, approved by the SBTi (as outlined above), is part of CSL’s broader intention to engage suppliers who account for 67% of all CSL’s total Scope 3 emissions. CSL aims for these suppliers to have Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets aligned* with the SBTi. This broader intention applies to suppliers across all Scope 3 categories. The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. * Either the supplier has SBTi-validated targets, or CSL has conducted due diligence to confirm that the supplier’s targets meet SBTi criteria. Earth Day photo competition winner Cataratas do Iguaçu The Cataratas do Iguaçu (or Iguazu Falls) are the world’s largest waterfall system, dividing the upper and lower Iguazu River at the border of Argentina and Brazil. Both countries created national parks in the 1930s to protect and preserve the falls for future generations, and the falls were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the 1980s.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved CSL’s near-term science based emissions reduction targets. These are: • CSL commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by FY 2030 (from a FY 2021 base year)2. • CSL commits that 73.1% of CSL’s suppliers by emissions – covering Scope 3 categories: purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and downstream transportation and distribution – will have science-based targets by FY 2030. CSL’s strategic sustainability focus areas include: Energy – undertake initiatives that reduce emissions internally and across CSL’s supply chain Waste – divert waste from landfill through reducing, reusing, recycling and composting Water – identify, prioritise and implement water reduction initiatives Biodiversity – mitigate the impact on nature from CSL direct operations & increase the resiliency of the supply chain via sustainable sourcing.
