Listening and responding to employee feedback Each year, CSL invites employees to provide feedback about working at CSL through its Employee Engagement Survey. During the 2026 survey, employees shared their views on a variety of topics, including CSL’s vision, the ability to balance work and life, collaboration across the enterprise, demonstration of the CSL Values and support for employee growth and development. This year’s Employee Engagement Index was 67.2%*, 5.7% lower than last year’s survey. Consistent with prior years, each member of CSL’s Global Leadership Team analyses their respective results to identify a few key meaningful engagement objectives and related action plans for the new financial year. CSL also provides training to its people leaders, helping them interpret team results and develop plans to address improvement opportunities. In FY2026, CSL introduced a new Leadership Index in the Employee Engagement Survey. Based on five manager-employee relationship indicators, the index measures leadership effectiveness across the organization. Our inaugural global Leadership Index score was 75.5%, reflecting employees’ confidence in their leaders and the strength of leadership capabilities across CSL. Recognising and valuing employee contributions One of the ways CSL recognises employee efforts is through CSL’s global recognition program, Celebrate the Promise. Established in 2020, Celebrate the Promise is an online platform that enables employees and leaders to recognise colleagues with a simple thank you or acknowledgement of a major accomplishment. Each recognition is tied to one of CSL’s Values (Patient Focus, Innovation, Integrity, Collaboration and Superior Performance) or one of the three pillars of The CSL Way: Be Bold, Raise the Bar and Win Together. For significant achievements, employees may receive points, which can be used to purchase merchandise from an online catalogue. During the financial year, employees and leaders shared more than 81,950 global recognition moments. Inclusion and belonging At CSL, inclusion and belonging is at the core of our mission and who we are. It fuels our innovation day in and day out. With almost 29,000 employees around the world, CSL’s greatest strength is its people. The breadth of perspectives, ideas, capabilities and experiences across the Company’s workforce fuels innovation, enabling CSL to develop therapies that save lives, safeguard public health and make a meaningful difference for patients and communities globally.

Suppliers CSL seeks to partner with suppliers and third parties who share CSL’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility. By partnering with a diverse network of suppliers, CSL enhances supply chain resilience and promotes an inclusive value chain that is better equipped to respond to the evolving challenges faced by a global biotech company. By FY2030, CSL aims to have: • at least 50% of its supply base (by spend), with suppliers that have publicly available inclusion and belonging policies, that promote respect and diversity of thought or provide diverse teams for CSL’s accounts in line with CSL’s diversity agenda; and • 15% of total spend with small businesses. CSL believes that fostering diversity within its supply chain can generate shared value by enhancing access to innovative perspectives, specialised capabilities, and supply chain resilience, while advancing CSL’s commitment to equal opportunity and inclusion. * Limited assurance by Deloitte. 33 CSL Limited Annual Report 2025/26
