GOVERNANCE
These climate-related disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Corporate Governance Statement contained
in the Annual Report.
The Board of Directors is the governance body responsible for oversight of FWL’s climate-related risks and
opportunities, as set out further below. The Board is supported by the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee (ARC),
which provides governance oversight for the monitoring of climate-related risks and related reporting in the annual
report as well as overarching risk management.
The following diagram shows FWL’s organisational structure as it relates to the oversight and management of climate-
related risks and opportunities:
Board Level
Executive
Level
Management
Level
Board oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities
The Board is responsible for setting the Company’s purpose and overall strategic direction and has oversight over the
risk management strategy, framework, policies and risk appetite, including related to climate change. The Board has
ultimate responsibility for oversight of climate-related reporting and the identification of climate-related risks and
opportunities. The Board meets approximately six times each year and is updated on a regular basis on the
management of climate-related issues alongside other business matters. The Board is supported in this function by
the Audit and Risk Committee, to perform a review of the Group’s primary business risks and its Risk Management
Framework (RMF). Although climate-related risks and opportunities are not considered on a standalone basis within
the Group’s strategy, they are taken into account within broader frameworks such as the Group’s RMF, which, in turn,
feed into the Group’s strategy setting processes. The Board is also responsible for approving the RMF, which is the
Group’s framework to assist with identifying, assessing and managing its risk (including climate-related risk).
Directors hold responsibility for their own continuous education to keep themselves up to date on relevant climate-
related issues. The Board accesses climate-related expertise from within the Group, and externally where required.
During the year the CFO presented a detailed education paper to the Board on the requirements of the new Climate-
Related Disclosures.
At this stage no remuneration has been aligned specifically to sustainability or climate-related metrics.
Board – Governance oversight of all climate matters including
endorsing ESG targets (including GHG emission reductions).
Audit and Risk Committee –
Oversight of climate risk.
CEO – Overall responsibility for
climate strategy, risks and
opportunities. Supported by CFO and
Sustainability Working Group.
CFO – Overall responsibility for the
measurement of GHG emissions and
financial reporting and Sustainability
Working Group.
Sustainability Working Group – Members: CFO, Group Chief Winemaker,
Operations Manager, Production Manager, Marlborough Viticulture
Manager, Financial Controller. Responsible for driving climate risk and opportunity
identification across the business.

GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED)
Role of Management in assessing and managing risks and opportunities
The Board assigns the day-to-day establishment and implementation of the company strategy including oversight of
climate-related risks and opportunities to the CEO and Executive team. This involves ensuring the business is
identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing climate-related risks alongside other risks. From the Executive team
this is embedded into business strategy and implementation, risk management, financial planning and capital
allocation processes. The CEO updates the Board at each Board Meeting on key aspects of the Company’s strategy.
The CEO and CFO meet at least annually to identify and assess the major risks including climate risks affecting the
business by maintaining a risk matrix which is used to develop strategies to monitor and mitigate these risks. The risk
matrix is provided to the Board via the Audit and Risk Committee. Risk mitigation strategies directed by the Board
are implemented and monitored by management.
The CFO leads the Company’s Sustainability function and is responsible for day-today management of the climate-
related disclosures (as a climate reporting entity under the NZCS) including the measurement of the greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, and for the Sustainability Working Group. The CFO updates the Board at each Board Meeting on
key aspects of compliance and risk management.
A Sustainability Working Group (SWG) was established during the year to assist in the identification, management
and controlling of climate-related risks and opportunities and to formulate and drive the implementation of
decarbonisation projects to assist the Group in minimising the risks where possible and in meeting future emissions
reduction targets. The SWG comprises of a diverse group of managers from business units across the Group. The
SWG will meet at least quarterly.
STRATEGY
Current business model and strategy
Everything that Foley Wines does is guided by its purpose to make great wine that people love to drink around the
world and ambition to be New Zealand’s most revered wine group satisfying the most discerning retailers and
restaurants at home and around the world with brands that are authentic, sustainable and of exceptional quality.
The Company focuses on high quality products that are authentic and have a sense of place – they are made by land
and hand. At the core of this is building a strong climate-resilient business that is sustainable and creates value for
shareholders.
As noted in the Director and CEO Report it is the view of the Company that acting sustainably is a matter of necessity,
not a ‘nice to have’. Environmental issues have become even more important in consumers’ decision making. The
practical, tangible sustainability practices that underpin our operations go beyond the Sustainable Winegrowing New
Zealand accreditation held by each of our wineries and vineyards. Our practices carry through from vineyards to
packaging and include using bottles with a high percentage of recycled glass that are manufactured locally, using
labels made from sugarcane on some products, irrigating vineyards and native plantings with winery wastewater to
conserve water, restoring local wetland habitats and solar energy generation at four of our five wineries. Our small
wineries are positioned amongst our vineyards, reducing the carbon footprint of incoming grapes during harvest, and
integrating into the landscape. The living roof at Mt Difficulty is designed to encourage biodiversity, evaporative
cooling, and heat retention.
As an agricultural business the Company considers climate risk within its risk management process and has been
assessing mitigations and confirming and implementing controls for priority business units (e.g. geographic spread
of vineyards and contract growers, varietal selection in vineyards, frost protection infrastructure). The Company
intends to expand this process by embedding the outcomes of our climate assessments into our strategic planning
framework. We intend to complete our strategic refresh before setting emissions reduction targets and we will release
our updated metrics and targets once we have established our assured base year. Progress against meeting the targets
set will then be reported upon annually.

STRATEGY (CONTINUED)
Scenario Analysis
The purpose of scenario analysis is to identify, from a set of plausible climate futures, a range of possible climate-
related risks and opportunities which can then feed into our strategic planning process. This then allows us to test
whether our corporate and business strategies are resilient to a much broader set of drivers and risks.
The Company has undertaken a qualitative analysis to develop its climate scenarios and help identify climate-related
risks and opportunities over the short, medium and long term.
The Executive team and key management were involved in the selection process of our three climate scenarios, which
were selected from The Aotearoa Circle Agriculture Sector Climate Change Scenarios and Adaptation Roadmap
(“Agri-Sector Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap”, “Agri-Adaptation Roadmap”). In 2023, the New Zealand
agricultural sector collaborated to produce an Agri-Adaptation Roadmap to guide the sector’s adaptation to climate
change. This roadmap utilised three climate-related scenarios to describe plausible futures for agriculture in New
Zealand when impacted by different physical and transition factors. In developing its sector scenarios, The Aotearoa
Circle brought together the diversity of the agriculture sector to collaborate, share knowledge, science and insights,
and inform the outcome.
We have used the Agri-Adaptation Roadmap to provide consistency and comparability in disclosures, adopting the
most widely accepted set of scenarios for the agriculture sector supported by robust and tested assumptions. Under
each scenario we used the same key metrics for both physical and transitional changes as the Agri-Adaptation
Roadmap. We also aligned our timeframes (short 2023-2025, medium 2026-2035 and long 2036-2050) and
processes, including assessing scenario impacts out to 2050.
The climate scenarios adopted are summarised as follows:
1. Orderly: a smooth and orderly transition to a low-carbon future will be achieved; Net zero by 2050 achieved.
Major climate change and subsequent physical impacts have been avoided. This scenario effectively considers RCP**
of 2.6 and SSP1, where there were ‘low challenges to mitigation and adaptation’. Warming is limited to a 1.5°C
temperature increase. In this scenario both physical and transitions risks are relatively subdued.
2. Disorderly: the world will successfully prevent major climate change and its associated impacts but will fail to do
so in an orderly or stable fashion. Transition to a low-carbon future was highly disruptive on society and local
economies. As the worst climate physical changes were avoided, this scenario considers RCP 4.5, with an increase in
1-2°C in global temperatures. It uses SSP2, which considers ‘medium challenges to mitigation and adaptation’, with
rapid change after 2030.
3. Hothouse: a ‘business as usual’ world on track to increase global warming by 3°C or greater by 2080. Very limited
attempts were made to transition to a low carbon economy and climate policies were not implemented since the
2020s. The physical impacts of climate change are severe, with some irreversible changes. The world now must focus
on adapting to climate change. This scenario considers RCP of 8.5 and follows SSP5, which has ‘high challenges to
mitigation and low challenges to adaptation’.
No further scenarios have been undertaken.
** Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) describe emissions of greenhouse gases into the future and associated climate
impacts. Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) were developed to examine how global society, demographics and economics
might change over the next century, and influence the various emissions scenarios.

Climate risks and opportunities
In defining physical and transitional risks and opportunities, the Group has used the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standard 1 Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 1) definition, which is:
Physical risks – Risks related to the physical impacts of climate change. Physical risks emanating from climate change
can be event-driven (acute) such as increased severity of extreme weather events. They can also relate to longer term
shifts (chronic) in precipitation and temperature and increased variability in weather patterns, such as sea level rise.
Transitions risks – Risks 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.
Opportunities - The potentially positive climate-related outcomes for an entity. Efforts to mitigate and adapt to
climate change can produce opportunities for entities, such as through resource efficiency and cost savings, the
adoption and utilisation of low-emissions energy sources, the development of new products and services, and building
resilience along the value chain.
The most significant climate-related risks for the Company, operating in the viticulture and wine industry are outlined
below.

RISK MANAGEMENT
As outlined in the Governance section of this CRDs report, the Group has a Risk Management Framework (RMF),
which sets out policies and procedures for the effective identification, assessment, management and reporting of the
Group’s risks. The Group’s processes for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks are integrated
within the RMF via the risk hierarchy which allows the mapping of all business unit level risks including those related
to climate to one of the enterprise level risks categories, with all those identified to date including those identified via
scenario analysis as outlined in the Strategy section of this CRDs report mapping to one of the existing enterprise
level risk categories. The Group maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet insurable risks taking
into consideration the size and nature of the Company’s business and risk profile.
Foley Wines Limited - 12 - Climate-Related Disclosures Report 2024
CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURES REORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 (CONTINUED)
RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Risk Identification
The Group utilises a range of resources and approaches to identify and consider the impact of risks across our business
including those related to climate, on an ongoing basis. Our risk assessments engage the executive and senior
management and consider the risks that may impact the Group while in pursuit of strategic objectives. Risk
assessments are refreshed annually with regular risk reporting provided by the CEO and CFO to the Board and the
Audit and Risk Committee. The Group’s climate risk identification has included scenario analysis incorporating short,
medium and long term time horizons as outlined in the Strategy section of this CRDs report.
Risk Assessment
In accordance with the RMF, upon a risk being identified the Group maintains a risk matrix which is used to monitor
and mitigate these risks. A risk matrix measures the impact of the risk and likelihood (probability) of occurrence and
outlines the practices and processes in place to address the identified risk. This is provided to the Audit and Risk
Committee and Board annually.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Framework (RMF) objectives are to:
• Ensure that significant risks are identified and properly understood.
• Assess vulnerability to significant risk threats and their potential severity of loss.
• Develop management strategies and plans to manage risks and reduce the severity of loss.
• Prioritise risk reduction measures to prevent significant risk events being triggered.
• Establish if any day-to-day risks will be accepted as an operational cost of doing business.
• Manage risk exposure to minimise the impact and create added value for Shareholders.
As outlined climate-related risks are identified, assessed and managed alongside other enterprise level business risks.
METRICS AND TARGETS
Greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventory and emissions reduction progress
GHG Emissions Targets Plan
The Group intends to set emissions reduction targets in 2025, once we have established our assured base year (year
ended 30 June 2025). This will allow us to have a more representative base year for our emissions reduction targets
as our investments become fully operational and more emissions sources are included.
GHG Emissions
The table on the following page summarises the Group’s GHG emissions data for Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1 –
emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company) and Indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2 –
emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity) emissions for the year ended 30 June 2024, measured in
tonnes of CO
2
equivalent (tCO
2
e).
In measuring GHG emissions the Group employs an operational control consolidation approach. The emissions of
the Group includes FWL and all wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Emissions factors used in the GHG Inventory calculations for JYE2024 were sourced from New Zealand
Government’s Ministry for the Environment (MfE) emission factors data released in July 2023 (MfE 2023).
The Group intends to restate its base year where there has been a change in emissions factors, where we have gained
operational control (purchased a business) or lost operational control (sold a business) or where there has been a
change greater than 10% in our Emissions Inventory.

carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs),
sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).
Emissions Intensity
The Group’s Total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity per $1M of revenue (tCO2e/revenue) JYE2024 was 12.76.
Exposure to Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities
As the Group is adopting the first-time provisions it has not established metrics for climate-related risks and
opportunities nor determined the financial impact. Therefore, the amount or percentage of assets or business
activities vulnerable to climate-related risks and opportunities cannot be quantified. The methodology and metrics
for quantifying the Group's exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities is currently under development. This
disclosure will be made in our 2025 Climate-related Disclosure.
Capital Deployment
The Group currently does not have an internal carbon emission price. As FWL matures in this space this is something
that may be considered in the future.
Capital expenditure invested in relation to climate-related initiatives in JYE2024 was $1.7M upgrading the
refrigeration equipment plant at the Vavasour Winery.
Industry Based Metrics
The Group does not use any industry-based metrics in addition to the emissions intensity metrics outlined above.
Targets
The Group does not currently have any emissions targets in place. As noted above the Group intends to set emissions
reduction targets in 2025, once we have established our assured base year (year ended 30 June 2025). Progress
against meeting the targets set will then be reported upon annually.
As outlined in the Governance section, the Group is not yet in the position to link remuneration through to
sustainability or climate-related metrics and targets.
