Climate-related

Disclosure

Prepared in accordance with

the Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Standards

For the period:

1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024

PAGE 2 PAGE 3
Climate change is one of the most pressing

challenges of our time, demanding urgent

and concerted action from all sectors of society.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, the transport sector

alone accounts for approximately 17% of the

country‘s greenhouse gas emissions. As a key

provider to this sector, EROAD is firmly aware

of the critical importance of addressing these

challenges head-on.

At EROAD, we understand that our greatest

impact in the fight against climate change

comes through the innovative solutions we

provide to our customers. Our innovative suite

of products include the Sustainability Module

developed in collaboration with the Energy

Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA),

empowering fleet operators to monitor and

reduce their emissions, and promoting more

sustainable practices across the industry. We

also see future opportunities for EROAD to

contribute to decarbonising transport. For

example, we are well positioned to develop

solutions that will help governments with

decarbonisation and emission reduction efforts.

In this report we have also outlined some of

the physical and transition risks we face - from

the growing frequency of extreme weather

events to the evolving regulatory landscape.

Demonstrating our commitment to reducing

our own carbon footprint, we have set

ambitious targets for reducing our absolute

Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 54.6% by 2033,

relative to a 2023 baseline, and affirm our

commitment to reaching Net Zero emissions

by 2050.

Executive Summary

This report has been prepared and delivered

in accordances with the Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Standards. It marks another significant

milestone in EROAD’s sustainability journey.

The process undertaken to prepare this

statement has enhanced the depth of

understanding across our value chain about

the possible ways the future could evolve

for EROAD, our supplier and partnering

ecosystems and our customers. By continuing

to develop and share our evolving approach to

understanding and managing climate-related

risks and opportunities, we help ensure that

EROAD and those we connect with are better

prepared to navigate an increasingly complex

environmental landscape.

Aligned with our purpose of delivering

intelligence you can trust for a better world

tomorrow, EROAD is dedicated to integrating

sustainability throughout our business and

operations. As a technology company,

innovation, openness, and continuous

improvement are key to our culture and

factor heavily in our climate change journey.

Climate-related Disclosure

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

EROAD Limited (EROAD) is a climate-reporting entity

(CRE) under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This

report presents our first climate-related disclosures under

the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards issued by the

External Reporting Board (XRB) (Climate Standards) for

the full year ended 31 March 2024 (FY24).

This disclosure covers EROAD and its subsidiaries,

meaning the EROAD group of companies covered by our

consolidated financial statements, as listed in the already

issued FY24 EROAD Annual Report.

Releasing this report marks a milestone in EROAD’s

continuing sustainability journey, working with our

customers, business partners and suppliers in embracing

climate and sustainability considerations as part of

meaningful strategic and operational business planning.

It builds on EROAD’s previous voluntary Sustainability

Reports released in 2022 and 2023. Although climate

considerations are not new priorities for EROAD and

our operations, best practice and leading technologies

necessarily evolve over time. We look forward to continuing

to invest in developing our understanding and management

of climate-related risks and opportunities, including by

continuing to comply with the Climate Standards.

Taking into account the Adoption Provisions applied, EROAD is compliant with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.

OVERSIGHT OF CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS

AND OPPORTUNITIES

ROLE OF THE BOARD

EROAD’s Board is the governance body ultimately responsible

for setting and overseeing of EROAD’s strategy, including

consideration of the climate-related initiatives. Climate-related

risks and opportunities are integrated within the broader risk

management framework, which intersects with EROAD’s

strategy-setting process. Our Board also determines EROAD’s

overall risk appetite and monitors the company’s performance

against climate-related metrics and targets.

EROAD’s Board is supported by its Finance, Risk and Audit

Committee (FRAC). FRAC assists the Board with EROAD’s

risk management and internal control principles. It is

responsible for overseeing overall risk management, including

monitoring and assessing EROAD’s climate-related risks

and opportunities, progress against climate-related targets

and metrics, and compliance with climate-related disclosure

requirements. Further details about FRAC’s role, its members

and how it operates in overseeing risk management can be

found in EROAD’s FY24 Corporate Governance Statement on

page 114 of the FY24 EROAD Annual Report.

However, as 2024 marks the first year for reporting by CREs

under the Climate Standards, EROAD sought feedback and

approvals regarding its climate-related disclosures, including

risks and opportunities, scenario analysis, and metrics and

targets, from the full EROAD Board. During the year to

31 March 2024, the Board held seven meetings in which

they considered climate-related disclosure, with additional

emphasis in the months of December 2023 to March 2024

aligning with the climate-related risk and opportunities

and scenario analysis development. Moving forward, these

Disclosure objective: demonstrating the role

EROAD’s governance body plays in overseeing

climate-related risks and climate-related

opportunities, and the role management plays in

assessing and managing those climate-related risks

and opportunities.

matters will be circulated to and overseen by the FRAC, given

its Board-assigned authorities, duties and responsibilities for

monitoring and assessing EROAD’s climate-related risks and

opportunities.

In FY24 the FRAC did consider some sustainability matters

at each of the four FRAC meetings. This included updates on

EROAD’s progress with climate-related disclosures and its

emissions reduction efforts.

ROLE OF MANAGEMENT

EROAD’s Executive Team, is collectively responsible for the

day-to-day delivery and management of EROAD’s strategy

and operations, including sustainability initiatives and risk

management processes.

EROAD’s Co-CEOs and Chief Financial Officer, in collaboration

with our Chief Sustainability Officer and General Counsel,

are responsible for identifying, managing and reporting

climate-related risks and opportunities to the FRAC and the

Board. EROAD’s risk management framework supports the

identification, assessment and monitoring of climate-related

risks and opportunities.

Appointed in May 2023, EROAD’s Chief Sustainability Officer is

responsible for advancing EROAD’s sustainability initiatives.

This role includes chairing and guiding EROAD’s Sustainability

Committee, a multidisciplinary working group with

representatives from key areas across EROAD’s multinational

operations. The Committee’s membership during FY24,

included participants from the supply chain, product, legal,

finance, marketing, safety and technical teams.

The Sustainability Committee meets monthly, or as otherwise

required, with an agenda that includes considering climate-

related risks and opportunities, sustainability initiatives and

climate-related metrics and targets.

Our Sustainability Committee supports and advises EROAD’s

Executive Team by identifying, assessing and managing

climate-related risks and opportunities. It also collaborates

with external advisers for specialist support where necessary.

EROAD’s Executive Team reports directly to the FRAC and

Board on behalf of the Sustainability Committee regarding

any key sustainability and climate-related matters at least half-

yearly, and more frequently as required.

The diagram on page 7 illustrates EROAD’s organisational

structure for the oversight and management of climate-related

risks and opportunities.

GOVERNANCESTRATEGY

GOVERNANCE

EROAD CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE 2024

SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES

The Board regularly assesses whether its composition delivers

appropriate competencies and skills to effectively oversee

and govern EROAD. This assessment is supported by a

skills matrix, which is regularly reviewed, maintained, and

disclosed annually as part of EROAD’s Corporate Governance

Statement.

Board members are encouraged to engage in continuous

learning opportunities, including in relation to climate

reporting and environmental matters. The Board are members

of Chapter Zero and attend events related to climate-related

matters. EROAD engages external experts for specialist

independent advice where necessary, including to support

the Board’s knowledge development. During FY24, external

advisors from KPMG and PwC presented on climate-

related matters to EROAD’s Board. Additionally, EROAD

Management representatives also participated in externally

facilitated workshops on climate-related risk and opportunity

identification and climate change scenario analysis.

INTEGRATING CLIMATE CONSIDERATIONS

INTO STRATEGY

Sustainability and climate-related considerations are

deliberately tied to our purpose, which compels EROAD

to deliver trusted intelligence for a better world tomorrow.

EROAD believes that addressing climate considerations

is essential to successfully fulfilling this purpose. These

considerations guide our decisions about the technology

we launch and the partnerships we form. A tangible

example of EROAD integrating climate-related risks and

opportunities into our broader business strategy is the

launch of the Sustainability Module during FY24. This service

records emissions and provides actionable insights to our

New Zealand customers. The Sustainability Module at 31

March 2024 had been accessed by 969 unique accounts. It

demonstrates EROAD’s strategic commitment to supporting

decarbonisation efforts in the transport sector.

SETTING TARGETS AND MONITORING PROGRESS

EROAD sets targets based on our emissions profile and key

initiatives identified in connection with that profile. EROAD

collaborates with external organisations like Toitū Envirocare

and PwC to ensure the targets are appropriate for our

business profile and reporting maturity. Progress is monitored

by EROAD’s Sustainability Committee, which reports regularly

to the Board and the Executive Team through comprehensive

risk reporting across EROAD’s wider business.

Executive remuneration is not currently directly linked to

climate-related performance metrics. However, in approving

variable remuneration the Board considers how EROAD

has delivered against its strategic goals. The Board’s People

and Culture Committee sets and regularly reviews EROAD’s

remuneration policies to ensure they are consistent with

EROAD’s strategic goals and are incorporated into short-term

and long-term incentives. Once the company’s strategic

goals are set by the Board, EROAD prepares, and the Board

approves an annual business plan that reflects milestones to

support EROAD’s climate-related targets. Targets are linked

to key business objectives endorsed by the Board. You can

GOVERNANCESTRATEGY

Disclosure objective: understanding how climate

change is currently impacting EROAD and how it

may do so in the future.

EROAD is already working with our landlord to change the

trajectory of the driveway at our San Diego site, as its design

is believed to have played a part in the quantity of rainwater

flowing into our premises.

AUCKLAND FLOODS AND CYCLONE GABRIELLE

Auckland and other parts of New Zealand’s North Island

suffered severe flooding, as consequences of record rainfall in

Auckland in January 2023 and Cyclone Gabrielle during 13 and

14 February 2023. While this event occurred before the current

reporting period commenced, it is relevant to describe as an

example of a physical risk considered in identifying, assessing

and managing climate-related risks for the current reporting

period. Analysis of the impact of events that have already

occurred helps enable an informed assessment of potential

future risks and their categorization and priortisiation. Its

relevance was reinforced when during the reporting period

Auckland declared a state of emergency in response to the

threat of flooding and landslides caused by very heavy rainfall

in May 2023. EROAD’s offices did not suffer any damage.

However, flooding did impact our employees personally,

including by disrupting capabilities for traveling to work safely

and in some cases significantly damaging the homes of some

of our employees.

During this time, our staff were not required to travel to offices

or sites that were unsafe and able to take time to deal with any

physical or personal impacts of flooding and cyclone damage,

as EROAD prioritises the safety and wellbeing of our people.

Ongoing support for mental well-being was also available

through EROAD’s existing Employee Assistance Programme

for anyone needing extra assistance or support with dealing

with the impacts from these events.

An EROAD customer responded to this emergency, by loaning

the New Zealand Police 20 four-wheel-drive vehicles to enable

better access to the worst affected areas. EROAD worked

with our customer and the New Zealand Police in providing

support, donating satellite enabled devices (EHUBO2 and

Where) so that for the vehicles and their drivers could be

located and monitored to help ensure their safety.

Transition impacts:

Technology: Climate-change related technology

developments present new opportunities for EROAD’s

solutions. The Sustainability Module offered in MyEROAD for

our New Zealand customers described on pages 34 and 35 of

the FY24 EROAD Annual Report offers an illustrative example.

CURRENT CLIMATE-RELATED IMPACTS

Climate change is already having an impact in all the regions

that we operate, presenting a serious issue for the global

economy. This section of our report identifies examples of

some of the key impacts realised within the current reporting

period. These examples are not exhaustive list and exclude

discussion about any impacts that EROAD considers to

be immaterial. These impacts will also be relevant to our

customer base. EROAD is uniquely positioned to offer support,

leveraging our extensive data and our experience being a

global business. Additionally, New Zealand’s leadership in

disclosure requirements, provides valuable insights for our

other markets.

Physical impacts:

SAN DIEGO FLOODS

In January 2024, San Diego experienced excessive and

intense rainfall causing widespread flooding, highlighting this

region’s vulnerability to extreme weather events. Flooding

occurred in our San Diego office and warehouse, when

drains at this site were unable to cope with unseasonal

and excessive rainwater. This required EROAD to vacate

this site for three and a half months while repair work was

undertaken. As rainwater mixed with sewer water the drains

overflowed and the remedial action required removal and

replacement of sections of internal walls and flooring. As a

business, EROAD experienced relatively minor disruption to

our operations, successfully supporting affected staff and

continuing to deliver our products and services to customers.

Yet the event did present exposure to unexpected business

disruption and some costs, despite our insurance cover. It is

likely that vulnerability to extreme weather events will mean

higher insurance premiums or changes in exclusions from

policies, as the incidence and impact of extreme weather

events risk becoming more likely or more intense, depending

how climates change.

STRATEGY

RISK MANAGEMENTMETRICS AND TARGETS

Political: We are already observing a shift in the policy

and legal landscape as a consequence of climate-related

considerations. These present both opportunities (e.g.

partnering with government agencies providing services

to meet commitments) and risks (e.g. regulations requiring

increased climate-related disclosures and increased climate-

related costs).

An increasing number of countries in which EROAD, our

suppliers and our customers operate have enacted or are

considering implementing mandatory climate-related

disclosures. By way of example, Australia is currently

anticipated as introducing mandatory climate-related financial

disclosures, as soon as January 2025. On 6 March 2024, the US

Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring

public companies to disclose extensive climate change-related

information in their annual reports and registration statements

starting for years ending 31 December 2025. EROAD is

supportive of the greater transparency that these regulations

and requirements provide. However acknowledging that

fulfilling these reporting requirements means further exposure

to compliance risk, increased costs and dedicated resourcing.

Social: Stakeholders are requiring greater disclosure and

expect companies to credibly demonstrate they are managing

their environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues

well. EROAD is trying to achieve this with the introduction of

science-aligned targets (refer to metrics and targets section

on pages 22 to 29 of this disclosure for further detail).

EROAD began measuring its own carbon footprint in 2022.

Following the acquisition of Coretex companies in December

2021, EROAD reset our base year for reduction measurement

to 2023 as the first year of operations as a combined Group.

Since 2023, EROAD has been looking at ways to improve

our sustainability practices and reduce carbon emissions,

establishing short-term goals for EROAD Scope 1 (fuel) and

Scope 2 (electricity) emissions and introducing science-

aligned longer-term targets.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS

SCENARIO ANALYSIS PROCESS

During FY24, EROAD completed climate change scenario

analysis to help identify and assess climate-related risks and

opportunities and better understand the resilience of our

business model and strategy. As part of this process, external

advisors from PwC NZ worked with representatives from

EROAD’s Sustainability Committee and across EROAD’s

value chain to plan and facilitate workshops and data insights

enabling analysis and then development of three climate-

related scenarios: coordinated decarbonisation; a world

divided and hot house.

These scenarios were created to support EROAD’s

identification of climate-related physical and transition risks

and opportunities that might plausibly emerge between 2024

and 2050. The scenarios that emerged from this process

and its analysis do not present an ideal transition. Instead,

each presents unique and difficult challenges for multiple

plausible futures, supporting EROAD and its Board in better

understanding how EROAD might perform should any of

these different future states occur. By actively participating in

this process, EROAD and its staff have been equipped with a

tool for assessing our strategic resilience.

The scenarios selected emerged from the analysis process

undertaken as relevant and appropriate to test and challenge

EROAD’s business as usual assumptions, informed by

EROAD contributors and a range of publicly available

climate data. The scenarios that emerged from our analysis

explore a range of warming scenarios that present varying

risks and opportunities. Each scenario has been tailored

to and informed by assumptions about EROAD’s driving

forces. The scenarios are not intended to be probabilistic

predictions about how the future might unfold, nor are they

representations of inevitable outcomes of any given trajectory.

As such, they should not, and are not intended to, be used as a

lens to determine the most likely future conditions.

The scenario analysis informing this report was standalone.

However, EROAD is working towards integrating the scenario

analysis within EROAD’s overall strategy, risk management

and business planning processes as our overarching

sustainability strategy continues to evolve and mature. Even

at this stage, the climate-related risks and opportunities

identified as an outcome from this report’s scenario

analysis have been assessed as part of EROAD overall risk

management framework and reporting, and the opportunities

identified considered as part of our FY25 business planning

processes and integrated within the wider capital deployment

and funding decision-making processes. An example of this

integration was the Sustainability Module developed for our

New Zealand customers on page 19 of this report.

As at the date of preparing this report, relevant sector-level

scenarios and analysis were not complete for EROAD to align

EROAD CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE 2024

with or draw from. To explain, although EROAD supplies

products and services to a range of customers including the

transport sector, as a telematics solution provider delivering

data insights, our business and its value chain is more aligned

with the telecommunications sector. For this reason, our

scenario development and analysis was undertaken without

relying on any sector-level scenarios. This activity was

undertaken following XRB guidance and using an established

process, facilitated and supported by subject matter experts

in sustainability and climate-related governance and

disclosures from PwC NZ and using publicly available climate

science and data .

During October 2023 to March 2024 EROAD’s climate risk

and scenario analysis activities included a series of workshops

with and continuous feedback from key stakeholders and

representatives from across EROAD’s value chain and its

business segments.

Initial activities focused on identifying key climate risk and

opportunities over multiple time horizons, synthesizing those

findings and then and prioritising them. Having identified

material risks and opportunities, our process progressed

to developing the scenarios and defining and agreeing on

the organisational and operational boundaries for scenario

analysis, then identifying and ranking driving forces, the

external factors influencing pathways and outcomes of the

scenarios.

The output from this process was then synthesised and

provided to members of EROAD’s Executive Team to endorse

prior to presenting to the EROAD Board at various stages, for

feedback and approval, prior to finalising the scenarios and

using them to deliver narratives and models about anticipated

impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities. As 2024

marks the first year for reporting by CREs under the Climate

Standards, feedback and approvals about EROAD’s climate-

related disclosures and the risks and opportunities, scenarios

and their analysis and metrics and targets proposals and

assessments were sought from the full EROAD Board at Board

meetings and, where feedback was required in advance of

a Board meeting, out of cycle papers. Going forward, these

matters will be circulated to and overseen by the FRAC given

its Board-assigned authorities, duties and responsibilities for

monitoring and assessing EROAD’s climate-related risks and

opportunities.

From 2025 onwards EROAD will conduct an annual review

process including updating scenarios if required to manage

our scenario analysis.

Description

COORDINATED DECARBONISATION

A world with coordinated action in public policy and

technology towards a low-emissions world. Net-zero emissions

are achieved globally by 2050, and temperature increase is

limited to below 1.5°C, with limited overshoot. This is driven

by collective buy-in from the public, investors, businesses,

and governments. These changes are accompanied by an

increasing carbon price that incentivises low-carbon behaviour

change. Physical weather event impacts and transition risks

occur, but not as severely as in the other scenarios.

A WORLD DIVIDED

Efforts to decarbonise are highly differentiated across the

world. Different countries and even states within countries

have wildly varying levels of ambition to decarbonise and

enact emissions-reducing regulations. This misalignment

creates particular challenges for organisations that operate

across borders. Globally, emissions peak around 2030, but net

zero is not reached until the 2080s. The world is on track for

over 2°C of warming by 2100. Physical climate impacts are

pronounced, particularly in vulnerable regions.

HOT-HOUSE

A world where global cooperation is low and regulations

are not enacted to reduce emissions. Unabated fossil fuel

use continues, and temperature continues to rise at an

unprecedented rate, on track for over 4°C of warming by the

end of the century. Any adaptation to climate change is driven

by short-term economic interests. Weather events and chronic

impacts are severe, coupled with the destabilisation of social

and economic structures. Climate tipping points are crossed

and ecosystems are devastated.

The three climate-related scenarios selected for EROAD and used for this reporting period and their key characteristics and

assumptions comprise:

IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

SSP - Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

NGFS - Network for Greening the Financial System

IEA - International Energy Agency

NIWA - National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research

RCP - Representative Concentration Pathways

CCC - Climate Change Commission

Boundaries

TIME HORIZONS

Short term: 1-3 years (up to 2027); Medium term: 3-10 years

(up to 2035); Long term: 10-30 years (2050 end point).

Time horizons refer to EROAD’s financial year and align with

XRB requirements for analysis at three points in time: short,

medium and long-term. 2050 as an end date is long enough

to capture a range of potential transition and physical risks

and aligns with 2050 Net Zero targets set by New Zealand and

internationally.

GEOGRAPHY

The boundary for EROAD’s scenario analysis was the whole

EROAD group organisation, including our subsidiaries,

focusing on our core markets in New Zealand, North America

and Australia as well as manufacturing sites and change to:

geographies. These geography boundaries were agreed

with input from stakeholders as most applicable to EROAD‘s

operational and market footprint.

Climate-related risks and opportunities

EROAD risks and opportunities have been assessed against

our climate risk scenarios, considering short term (1-3 years),

medium term (3-10 years) and long term (10-30 years) time

horizons. These time periods link closely to EROAD business

planning processes focus (1-3 years), medium-term strategic

focus (3-10 years), GHG emission targets for 2033, and

long-term out to a 30-year horizon aligns with international

emission reduction targets (Paris Agreement, 2050). A

materiality test was also applied to focus on the key physical

and transition risks and opportunities for EROAD.

PHYSICAL

RISKS

(P1) Damage to third-

party infrastructure and

services relied upon

An increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather

events may cause to damage to third party technology

infrastructure and services that EROAD relies on, such as cloud

computing and local network providers leading to outages,

decreased data retention, inability to meet key supply agreements,

and decreasing consumer satisfaction.

(P2)Disruption to key

infrastructure (i.e. roads

and ports)

An increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather

events, especially in key distribution and manufacturing

locations, could lead to long-term damage and disruption to

key infrastructure essential to move product to market both

nationally and internationally, resulting in increased operating

costs to manage contingencies and inability to meet key supply

agreements etc.

(P3) Supply chain

disruption

An increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather

events, specifically flooding, could lead to increased damage

to stored hardware and warehousing resulting in increased

operational and capital expenditure, inability to meet key supply

agreements, and increased cost of insurance etc.

GOVERNANCESTRATEGY

Physical risks are those relating to the physical impacts of

climate change, including via temperature, rainfall, storms,

extreme weather events, and sea-level rise. Transition risks

are those related to the transition to a low-emissions, climate-

resilient global and domestic economy, such as policy, legal,

technology, market and reputation changes associated with

the mitigation and adaptation requirements relating to climate

change.

TRANSITION

RISKS

(T1) EROAD holds onto

current products and fails

to develop new products

to meet changing needs

of customers

Limited clarity on how fuel taxes will evolve and future

requirements of customers could lead to EROAD holding on to

current products e.g. Electronic RUC and failing to develop

new products to meet changing consumer preferences

resulting in loss of market share, reduction in obtainable

market, loss of revenue.

(T2) Inability to keep

up with rate of global

technological change

Increased global competition, limited access to emerging

sustainability data collection methods, and uncertainty around

how technology will evolve may lead to EROAD being unable to

keep up with the rate of global technological change, resulting

in EROAD losing consumer favour in the market, decreased

competitive advantage, reduction in market share, reduced ability

to achieve strategy.

(T3) Increased

competition and barriers

to markets

Increased demand for the fleet sustainability performance data

and carbon emissions data that EROAD reports on, in addition

with difficulty protecting EROAD‘s intellectual property may create

increased competition and barriers to certain markets, resulting

in a loss of competitive advantage, decrease in revenue, and

decreased market share/access to market.

(T4) Increased climate-

related costs

Tightening environmental regulation and increased demand for

sustainability skill sets could lead to significant direct and indirect

compliance costs for EROAD and external suppliers, resulting in

increased operational expenditure as EROAD transitions towards

costly, more sustainable practices, reduced revenue and customer

base if clients cannot afford to meet rising costs, or financial

penalties if compliance cannot be met.

OPPORTUNITIES(01) EROAD as a

preferred supplier

There is an opportunity for EROAD to partner at the OEM

level, and position itself as a low-emissions wholesaler and

distributor of in-vehicle hardware, enabling EROAD to be

a preferred supplier due to consumer preference for low-

carbon products.

(02) Form valuable

partnerships

There is an opportunity for EROAD to leverage their leading

NZ market position to form valuable partnerships across the

sustainability ecosystem.

(03) Leverage data

analytics to provide

insights to customers

With increased customer data and intelligence, there is the

opportunity for EROAD to leverage data analytics to provide

insights to aid customers in their (customer) strategic planning

and become a trusted source of information as extreme weather

events increase.

(04) Develop features for

emissions reporting

As a result of the transition towards a lower carbon economy

there is the opportunity for EROAD to bring added value

to customers by developing features that can monitor and

report on emissions throughout the customer supply chain,

for example adding electric vehicle RUC collection capabilities

to the product suite as RUC for electric vehicles has been

introduced.

For more information on EROAD’s current business model

and strategy, please see the Our Strategy section of the FY24

EROAD Annual Report on pages 14 to 19.

EROAD has not developed a transition plan to an extent

that would fully meet the requirements of NZ CS 1 and has

therefore applied Adoption Provision 3 (paragraph 15), which

provides an exemption in the first reporting period from

the requirements to disclose the transition plan aspects of

an entity’s strategy. This includes exempting EROAD from

disclosing for this first reporting period how our business

model and strategy might change to address its climate-

related risks and opportunities, and how the transition plan

aspects of our strategy are aligned with our internal capital

deployment and funding decision-making processes.

EROAD has already taken a number of actions that

demonstrate our progress towards developing the

transition plan aspects of our strategy, including by

applying a governance and risk management framework

that considers climate-related metrics and climate-related

risks as part of EROAD’s overall risk management processes

and business planning.

EROAD has set science-aligned targets for reduction of our

absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 54.6% by 2033 relative

to a 2023 baseline year and confirms for the purposes of this

report our ongoing commitment to Net Zero 2050. These

targets are in line with limiting our impact to a 1.5º warming

scenario. Where we are unable to reduce emissions, we will

look to utilise appropriate offsets.

For FY24, EROAD’s strategy focuses sustainability

initiatives investment on our customers and their emissions,

demonstrable by our development and provision of

a sustainability tool to the New Zealand market. This

Sustainability Module equips fleet operators with critical

emissions data and empowers them with the tools to

implement effective and measurable sustainability strategies.

By developing and delivering for customers these types of

tools, EROAD can have a real impact on wider emissions in

delivering value to the customers we serve. In FY25, our

goals are to continue to deliver sustainability-focused tools

capable of contributing to monitoring and consequentially

assisting with the reduction of emissions for our Australian

and North American customers and overall national Net

Zero targets. We will also continue to focus on our internal

emissions measurement and imploring initiatives to reduce

these, continuing to work with Toitū Envirocare and other

organisations enabling science-based tools, actions and

evidence supporting meaningful emissions measurement

and reduction.

IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING

CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS

In FY24, EROAD completed its first formal climate-related

risk assessment as a standalone exercise, as part of our

scenario analysis and narratives, which have been developed

in consultation with PwC from climate-related risks,

opportunities, driving forces and publicly available climate

science.

This climate-related risk assessment looked at our three core

markets (New Zealand, Australia and North America) and

our entire value chain including inbound logistics, product

development, operations and manufacturing (including

suppliers), sales and marketing and the supply of hardware

and services to customers.

The time horizons considered are short term (1-3 years),

medium term (3-10 years) and long term (10-30 years).

These time periods link closely to EROAD business planning

processes focus (1-3 years), medium-term strategic focus (3-

10 years), and long-term out to a 30-year horizon aligns with

international emission reduction targets (Paris Agreement,

2050).

The identified climate-related risks and opportunities

were reviewed by EROAD’s Sustainability Committee and

approved by our Chief Sustainability Officer, Chief Financial

Officer and Co-Chief Executive Officers for presentation to

the Board for their oversight and approval.

MANAGING AND INTEGRATING CLIMATE-

RELATED RISKS INTO EROAD’S OVERALL

RISK MANAGEMENT

EROAD’s overall risk framework is designed to identify

material financial, operational and strategic risks that may

impact EROAD’s ability to deliver. Risks identified are

included in our risk register.

EROAD’s risk register describes risks, their anticipated

impact, mitigations and monitoring. Risks are then assessed

by reference to Board-defined tolerances, established by

EROAD’s Board-approved risk appetite statement.

Overall responsibility of the risk register lies with EROAD’s

General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer and Co-Chief

Executive Officers, with input from business leaders as

appropriate. Risk management is the responsibility of line

managers with General Managers responsible for assessing

and managing risks in their respective divisions and ensuring

appropriate controls are in place to mitigate the risk from

occurring or its potential impact. Operational risks are

reviewed regularly and reported to the Board at each Board

meeting. Key enterprise risks are reviewed by management

at least half-yearly with reporting on any material changes

to key enterprise risks on the same frequency to the Finance,

Risk and Audit Committee or the Board.

EROAD’s existing risk framework was considered and applied

when determining risk prioritisation for our climate-related

risks and opportunities. Adopting this existing framework

has helped ensure compatibility with and visibility of

RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENTMETRICS AND TARGETS

climate-related risks as part of EROAD’s overall risk

management approach, integrating climate-related risks into

our enterprise-wide overarching risk register, supporting risk

management and monitoring in accordance with existing

processes. Our existing risk framework assesses a risk’s

likelihood and severity. Likelihood refers to the probability

of a risk eventuating and is determined by considering

vulnerability, speed of onset, persistence, complexity

and other similar factors. Severity relates to the impact

or consequences of the risk. For climate-related risks, a

three-dimensional approach was taken to assess each risk

for the consequence of the threat (severity), persistence

(duration of the risk effect) and preparedness (to respond

to the risk). The material climate-related risks identified have

been consolidated and integrated into EROAD’s main risk

register and existing processes to ensure they are considered

together with all types of risks across EROAD’s entire value

chain.

Our climate-related risk assessment will continue to be

completed on at least an annual basis as part of existing risk

management processes. Embracing regularly identifying,

assessing and managing climate-related risks within our

existing risk processes helps ensure that these remain

visible and relevant. This supports building and embedding

resilience and climate change considerations into our

strategy, business planning and operations.

We will continue to integrate climate-related risks into

existing EROAD risk management processes in FY25.

GHG EMISSIONS

EROAD has been measuring carbon emissions since 2022.

After acquiring Coretex Limited and its subsidiaries on

1 December 2021, EROAD commenced measuring and

reporting on carbon emissions for EROAD’s overall group

from 2023.

EROAD measures its Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3

emission sources. The main exclusion from EROAD’s Scope

3 measurement is Category 11: Use of sold products. Further

work is required to report on this emission area.

During 2024 we disaggregated our Scope 3 emissions

into discrete categories and restated our 2023 base year

emissions to align with this new disaggregation. Our

disaggregation process identified that certain Scope 3

emissions in our boundary had been double-counted in our

base year, which was necessarily adjusted with restated

figures also undergoing audit and re-certification. The impact

of the restatement of our GHG emissions was a reduction of

4,364 tCO2e, with our restated base year emissions for 2023

being 24,247 tonnes of carbon.

METRICS AND TARGETS

GHG EMISSIONS MEASUREMENT

EROAD measures and manages our Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

emissions in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14064-

1 Greenhouse Gases – Part 1: Specification with guidance at

the organisational level for the quantification and reporting

of greenhouse gas emissions and removals (ISO 14064-

1:2018) and aligned with GHG Protocol.

EROAD uses Toitū’s emanage tool to calculate our emissions

with emission factors. Global Warming Potential rates

are provided within the software and accompanying

guidance documents. The emanage tool in 2023 and 2024

included emission factors determined by the Ministry for

the Environment’s 2023 “Measuring Emissions: A guide for

organisations”, Department for Business, Energy & Industrial

Strategy and unique emission factors approved by the

Environmental Protection Authority.

BOUNDARIES

EROAD applies the operational control and consolidation

approach to its emissions. Organisational boundaries were

set with reference to the methodology described in the GHG

Protocol and ISO 14064-1:2018 standards. This consolidation

approach allows us to focus on emissions we can control and

for which we can implement management actions. The scope

of our emissions inventory includes all activities within the

operational boundaries of EROAD Limited, including head

offices and EROAD operated warehouses.

ASSURANCE OF GHG EMISSIONS

External verification has been obtained on EROAD’s

operational GHG emissions calculations through our

certification under the Toitū carbonreduce programme.

Through this programme our operational GHG emissions

were measured and certified in accordance with ISO 14064-

1:2018. For 2024 a reasonable assurance level was obtained

for all mandatory categories of the programme and limited

assurance for staff commuting and certain Scope 3 emissions

that are reported using the dollar spend method.

Scope 3 emissions from our supply chain are calculated in

accordance with the GHG Protocol and where specific data

on quantities of supply chain goods and services was not

available, we have estimated emissions using spend-based

factors. Given most of our emissions are in Scope 3 obtaining

emissions data from our suppliers will be a focus of EROAD

going forward to help enhance the quality of our data.

RISK MANAGEMENTMETRICS AND TARGETS

In 2024, EROAD’s total emissions were 26,150 tonnes of

carbon, representing an 8% (1,903 tCO2e) increase on our

2023 base year total emissions on an absolute basis. As

EROAD continues to grow, with more and more connected

units, our absolute emissions are also likely to grow. Our

aim is to implement improvements in design, technology,

operations management and behavioural change, so that

the increase in absolute emissions is less than the increase in

business growth.

EMISSIONS REDUCTION TARGETS

As part of our base year, EROAD set two initial reduction

targets of a 4% in Scope 1 (fuel) emissions and 15% in Scope

2 (electricity) emissions by 31 March 2025.

For our re-certification of 2024 additional targets were set

to reduce absolute net Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 54.6% by

the year 2033 relative to our 2023 base year, and an intensity

measure to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions per million dollar

of revenue by 61% by 2033 relative to a 2023 baseline. These

targets have been set in line with the requirements of the

Toitū carbonreduce certification and developed utilising the

Science Based Targets Initiative target setting tool aligned

with the 1.5 degree Celsius pathway. This target has not been

validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative.

EROAD confirms its commitment to reduce net Scope 1, 2

and 3 GHG emissions to zero by 2050. In the future we will

look to further expand our Scope 3 boundary to measure the

current exclusions and consider adding appropriate Scope

3 interim emission targets as our understanding of these

emissions improves and to support the overall 2050 net

zero goal.

It is also our intention to include customer targets in the

future, focusing on seeking to provide data insights that

can assist our customers to reduce their own Scope 1 (fuel)

emissions per distance travelled. Target reduction and base

year to be determined during FY25. These emissions are

not part of EROAD’s scope boundary. However, given the

nature of our business and the industries we serve, we know

our largest opportunity for impact on reducing emissions is

working with our customers.

GOVERNANCESTRATEGY

PERFORMANCE AGAINST TARGETS

On an absolute basis, in 2024, EROAD has seen a decrease

of 16% in our fuel emissions and an increase of 9% in

our electricity emissions. The decrease in fuel emissions

reflect our choice to reduce our own fleet vehicle size, as

well as adopting a strategy of gradually migrating from

Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles to Electric Vehicles.

Our increase in electricity emissions is largely due to staff

returning to our offices and our sites being redeveloped

for improved space utilisation. During 2023, our San Diego

office was unoccupied for a few months while renovation

works were undertaken. During FY 2024, we saw this space

reoccupied and more fully utilised. The electricity emissions

result is gross emissions and does not account for any

offsets obtained through supplier and product choice. When

measuring our progress at 31 March 2025 we will consider

any offsets. Work is continuing in both these areas to support

continuing to meet our established targets for fuel emissions

and our initially set targets for 2025 for electricity emissions..

METRICCOMMENTARY

Capital deployment

EROAD has invested $1.6 million (NZD) to 31 March 2024, to develop sustainability reporting for

our New Zealand based customers. This expenditure includes the capitalisable costs of the project

(predominantly engineering time) and additional time spent on research and administration by

those teams. It does not include time spent by Management and other departments that are

not costed to the project. We aim to improve our data capture in these areas going forward. This

investment will extend during our next financial year to provide appropriate data to our Australian

and North American based customers.

Going forward as we learn more about or climate-related risks and opportunities we will allocate

appropriate time and resource in this space.

Internal emissions price

EROAD does not currently use an internal emissions price. As initiatives for reduction are

weighed up the current cost of carbon credits against the cost and impact of the initiatives will be

considered.

Remuneration

Management remuneration has not yet been linked directly to climate-related risks and

opportunities. However, EROAD prepares an annual business plan that reflects milestones that

support EROAD’s climate-related targets.

Industry standards

The industry standards for EROAD’s sector (software and information technology services) are

not yet widely adopted. EROAD will continue to monitor this position and intend to adopt any

metrics emerging as relevant for our operations in the future.

METRICCOMMENTARY

Transition risks

EROAD’s key transition risks include technology changes, increased competition or barriers to

markets and increased climate costs. A more detailed description of EROAD’s transition risks are

included in the climate-related risks and opportunities table in the Strategy section of this report.

Collectively these risks may impact EROAD’s business as a whole. Given the speed of technology

change, market changes and regulatory policy change, trying to quantify EROAD’s exposure

or identify a meaningful and material outcome is not currently possible. 100% of the EROAD

business could be exposed to the transition risks identified. Yet the severity of the risks may vary.

Although the potential exposure could be up to 100%, these risks are being actively managed

and monitored. Consequently, if the risk were to materialise, the current impact to the business is

considered to be low.

Physical risks

EROAD’s key physical risks from climate change scenarios include damage to third-party

infrastructure (network towers, roads or ports) and other supply chain disruption.

Damage to network infrastructure is likely to be region specific. Depending on how localised

damage could be, from zero to 100% of connected units in a region could be impacted while

awaiting resolution of alternative coverage.

Damage to roads and ports would slow-down how quickly products could be moved, relying on

development of alternative shipment routes and methods. This risk is likely to be region specific

and unlikely to impact EROAD’s business in its entirety.

Supply chain disruption impact would be limited in the short term, as EROAD maintain

certain stock on hand (at least three months worth depending on production times required

for individual products). Over the medium and longer term the impact to EROAD business is

expected to be region and product specific. EROAD is equipped to mitigate this risk given our use

of different manufacturers in different localities If supply disruption occurs, impact would likely be

limited to a specific region or product type, enabling EROAD to set-up alternative manufacturing

options or offer to supply different products from our overall portfolio.

Climate-related

opportunities

EROAD is mindful of climate-related opportunities across our business, including the potential

for our development of products and services for customers to contribute to a lower emissions

economy.

EROAD’s main contributing asset to climate-related opportunities is our people and their time.

Outside of capital projects this time is not currently measured. We will look to develop measures

to monitor efforts spent on developing climate-related opportunities going forward. EROAD’s

maturity in this space is ongoing. Over time the percentage of our people, systems and processes

deployed on these opportunities is expected to increase.

Additional metrics required under the Climate Standards include disclosure on the amount or percentage of business activities

vulnerable to transition and physical risks and amount aligned with climate-related opportunities, the capital deployed towards

climate-related risks and opportunities, internal emissions pricing and remuneration linking.

As EROAD’s climate response journey continues and we gain a deeper understanding of our climate-related risks and opportunities

this will drive further development of metrics and targets used to measure and monitor climate-related risks across our business.

LOOKING AHEAD

EROAD remains committed to advancing sustainability across

all areas of our value chain and with and for our customers.

Our climate strategy, driven by innovation and continuous

improvement, reflects EROAD’s established dedication to

pursuing a more sustainable future. While we recognise that we

are on a journey, we remain committed to making meaningful

progress, working with our customers, partners, and

stakeholders in continuing to take thoughtful steps towards a

low-emissions, climate-resilient future.
