Climate Statements 2024
Fletcher Building Limited

Message from the Acting Chair and Managing Director
Fletcher Building is pleased to present our inaugural Climate Statements, prepared in accordance with the

Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.

These statements provide an overview of our approach to climate-related risks and opportunities, our

governance structures, and our strategic response to the evolving landscape shaped by climate change.

Our purpose of "improving the world around us through smart thinking, simply delivered" and our

values of "Protect", "Be Bold", "Customer Leading", and "Better Together" underpin our commitment to

sustainability and climate action. These values guide us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities

presented by climate change.

In looking to adapt our business to be more resilient to climate change, we have benefitted from ongoing

analysis of our physical climate-related risks and impacts, which we began in FY20. This analysis shows

that the current and expected future impact is relatively moderate, and the key exposure to manage

across the Group arises from flooding. We anticipate that transition risks and opportunities may be more

significant for our business. In regard to mitigation, we are actively working to reduce our emissions, with

a focus on our cement operations, electricity use in Australia, and process heat and transport in New

Zealand. Our '30 by 30' Science-Based Target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030

from a 2018 baseline underscores our commitment.

We have made progress against this target, and our combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for FY24 are

19% lower than the FY18 baseline. However, we recognise there is much more to do. We have also made

progress towards developing our Transition Plan which outlines key focus areas, including the emissions

reductions described above, developing lower carbon products and services, and enhancing our

resilience and adaptation to climate risks.

We continue to invest in sustainable, local manufacturing, with over $800 million invested in productive

assets and sustainable manufacturing in New Zealand, Australia, and across the Pacific over the past five

years. Key initiatives include:

• Laminex® New Zealand's $350 million Taupō plant expansion in progress, set to begin production in

late 2026 and expand our provision of wood-based products into the market.

• PlaceMakers® Frame & Truss's redevelopment of an Onehunga manufacturing site, enhancing

efficiency and increasing local production capacity for structural wood products.

• The completion of Winstone Wallboards® $400 million new GIB® plant, which is expected to deliver

a 13% reduction in CO2e emissions per square metre of board produced compared with the old

Auckland plant. This new plant includes onsite recycling and reuse of process wastewater, plus

innovative technology providing the capability for waste plasterboard recycling.

• The completion of LowCO™, our sustainable homes of the future project, which demonstrates how to

reduce lifetime carbon emissions in residential construction consistent with a 1.5 degree future.

• Our ongoing efforts to reduce process heat derived from coal with lower carbon biomass and waste

end-of-life tyres in our cement operations.

Transparency and collaboration are crucial as we navigate the complex challenges arising from climate

change. We are engaging with our suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders on climate-related

matters. We're also investing in innovation to develop more sustainable building solutions and contributing

to industry-wide efforts to decarbonise.

The construction and building materials sector has an important role to play in addressing climate

change. As we work towards our Net Zero by 2050 goal, we remain committed to balancing the needs

of our business, our customers, and the environment. We believe that by embracing the challenges and

opportunities presented by climate change, we can create long-term value for all our stakeholders while

contributing to a more sustainable future.

We invite you to review our Climate Statement and join us on this critical journey towards a low-carbon,

resilient future for our industry and for Aotearoa New Zealand.

Statement of compliance
These Climate Statements are the Company’s first climate-related disclosures under the Aotearoa New

Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS), comprising NZ CS 1: Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 1), NZ CS 2:

Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS 2) and NZ CS 3: General Requirements for

Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 3).

These Climate Statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the NZ CS. In these

Climate Statements, the Company has elected to apply the NZ CS 2 adoption provisions detailed below.

NZ CS 2 Adoption Provisions used in these Climate Statements

In recognition that it may take time to develop the capability to produce high-quality climate-related

disclosures, and that some disclosure requirements, by their nature, may require an exemption,

NZ CS 2 provides a limited number of adoption provisions from the disclosure requirements in Aotearoa

New Zealand Climate Standards.

The NZ CS 2 Adoption Provisions which have been used by Fletcher Building in the preparation of these

Climate Statements are:

Adoption provision 1: Current financial impacts

This adoption provision provides an exemption from disclosing the current financial impacts of the

physical and transition impacts identified and from disclosing an explanation of why the Company is

unable to disclose this information (if applicable). In these Climate Statements, we have not identified or

included the current financial impacts of transition risks.

We have provided an assessment of the current financial impacts of physical risks to assets under our

direct control. This assessment, however, excludes assets of construction projects, and assets held

by joint ventures or associates where the Group has joint control or significant influence. Additionally,

we have not assessed the current financial impacts of physical risks associated with critical external

infrastructure and transport networks that our operations depend on, such as power grids or supply

chains. These exclusions reflect the complexities involved in assessing indirect impacts and the evolving

nature of climate risk assessment methodologies.

Adoption provision 2: Anticipated financial impacts

This adoption provision provides an exemption from disclosing the anticipated financial impacts of

climate-related risks and opportunities reasonably expected by the entity and from disclosing an

explanation of why the Company is unable to disclose this information (if applicable). It also provides an

exemption from disclosing a description of the time horizons over which the anticipated financial impacts

of climate-related risks and opportunities could reasonably be expected to occur.

Consistent with adoption provision 1, we have provided an assessment of the anticipated financial impacts

of physical risks for assets under our direct control. This assessment, however, excludes assets held

by joint ventures or associates where the Group has joint control or significant influence. We have not

provided an assessment of anticipated financial impacts of transition risks.

Adoption provision 3 – Transition planning

This adoption provision provides an exemption from disclosing the Transition Plan aspects of an entity’s

strategy, including how its business model and strategy might change to address its climate-related risks

and opportunities. In these Climate Statements we describe the current work towards developing our

Transition Plan, and the aspects of the Transition Plan that require further work to be fully developed.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

This adoption provision also provides an exemption from disclosing the extent to which Transition Plan
aspects of its strategy are aligned with its internal capital deployment and funding decision-making

processes. In these Climate Statements, we note our general approach and progress to date on aligning

capital deployment with our Transition Plan, although further work is required to align such processes as

we continue to develop our Transition Plan.

Adoption Provision 4: Scope 3 GHG emissions

This adoption provision provides an exemption from disclosing Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions

in an entity’s first reporting period.

We have provided Scope 3 GHG emissions for all GHG Protocol Supply Chain Categories other than the

GHG Protocol Supply Chain Categories Use of sold products, Downstream leased assets, and Processing

of sold products.

Adoption provision 6: Comparatives for metrics

This adoption provision provides an exemption in an entity’s first reporting period from disclosing

comparative information for the immediately preceding two reporting periods. We have provided

comparative information for Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and emissions intensity

for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in these Climate Statements. We have not provided comparative

information for other metrics in these Climate Statements.

Adoption provision 7: Analysis of trends

This adoption provision provides an exemption in an entity’s first reporting period to provide an analysis

of the main trends evident from a comparison of each metric from previous reporting periods. We have

provided an analysis of the main trends from a comparison of our Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in these

Climate Statements. We have not provided an analysis of main trends for other metrics in these Climate

Statements.

Our governance of climate-related risks and opportunities
Overall Governance

The Fletcher Building board of directors (the Board) is committed to the long-term resilience of Fletcher

Building and is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the Group’s climate and sustainability

governance, including the oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities. The Board charter states

(inter alia) that the Board is responsible for overseeing Fletcher Building’s commitment to sustainable

development, the environment, and health and safety of its people. The Board approves the Sustainability

Policy and sustainability related targets, the Risk Management Policy, and the annual GHG emissions

reporting in the Group’s Annual Report.

The Board has specifically delegated responsibility for climate-related matters to the Audit and Risk

Committee (the ARC), and the Safety, Health, Environment and Sustainability Committee (the SHES

Committee). This facilitates the regular monitoring of financial and non-financial risks associated with

climate-related matters. Both committees are guided by their respective charters (available in the

Corporate Governance section of on the Fletcher Building website).

Oversight Committees

Both the ARC and the SHES Committee meet no fewer than four times per year.

The ARC oversees that risks (including climate-related risks) are managed in accordance with Fletcher

Building’s Risk Management Policy. It also maintains oversight of Fletcher Building’s Risk Register and

reviews it regularly with management to track existing risks and the emergence of new risks twice a year,

and additionally as required by the Board. Emissions performance and review of the Group’s progress

against its carbon reduction roadmap, which is a key component of Fletcher Building’s Transition Plan, are

reported at least twice per year to the SHES Committee. Climate-related risks are reported as an output of

physical analysis approximately every two years.

The Climate Statements will be reviewed annually by the Board, the ARC, and the SHES Committee.

Risk summaries and the updates relating to the New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (the ETS) are

typically reported to the ARC at least annually. In addition, climate-related risks with a business unit level

impact are assessed as part of the business resilience key risk categories approximately every two years.

The SHES Committee is responsible for Fletcher Building’s sustainability strategy and is also responsible

for assessing, actioning and driving environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, reviewing

performance and considering the long-term sustainability strategy. The SHES Committee reviews Fletcher

Building’s annual GHG Emissions Inventory and reviews the Group’s environment, health and safety (EHS)

policy biennially.

The Chairs of each committee provide report back sessions with the full Board on matters discussed in

each committee meeting.

Skills and Competence

Climate change considerations are integrated into the Board's skills assessment process.

The Board continues to expand its climate-related expertise through targeted education sessions. In

April 2024, the Board participated in an externally facilitated in-depth exploration of regulatory, legal

and practical aspects of current and forecast climate-related risks and opportunities. The Board actively

seeks and receives internal and external expertise and advice related to climate-related risks as required.

Ongoing education, along with regulatory and market updates, is regularly provided to the ARC and the

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

8

SHES Committee members during committee meetings. Additionally, the Board’s climate capability is
strengthened through individual directors’ experiences on boards of other climate reporting entities.

The Board has adopted a skills matrix which takes account of the breadth of the Group’s business interests

and the nature of the Group’s strategic focus. For FY23 and FY24, the Board's functional expertise skills

matrix has been expanded to include the category of “environmental, social and governance”, which

includes climate-related matters. An assessment of the Board against this skills matrix is included on page

53 of the Group’s FY24 Annual Report and in in the Group’s other Annual Reports, which are available at

https://fletcherbuilding.com.

The People and Remuneration Committee (the PRC) supports the Board in setting climate-related matters

within short term incentive (STI) frameworks for relevant members of the executive team (which are then

incorporated in other management STIs as appropriate). Achievement of executive STI performance is

reviewed by the PRC annually for those executives with climate-related STI objectives. The Board assigns

climate-related goals and targets to management annually via agreed strategic objectives, and climate-

related STI objectives for relevant executives.

How climate-based targets are set, and how risks and opportunities are

considered

Fletcher Building’s emissions reduction target was set and verified in December 2019 in accordance with

the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) process for setting targets in line with a ‘well-below 2 degrees’

future. SBTi looked at the impact across the Group’s sectors of operation as part of setting the target,

which is to achieve a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2018 baseline.

In FY22, Fletcher Building reviewed the Sustainability Strategy for the business and assessed sustainability

goals and targets. This review of the strategy was informed by the physical and transition risk and

opportunity analysis undertaken in FY22, and the refreshed strategy included goals to increase the

provision of sustainably certified and lower carbon products and services as a strategic goal, and to set a

long-term goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

Progress against climate-related goals is reported to the SHES Committee.

Climate-related physical risks and transition risks and opportunities are reported to the ARC.

Physical risks are considered as part of long-term asset management plans and investment strategies for

the business.

Transition risks, such as the impact of carbon pricing on operational costs, and transition opportunities,

such as market demand for more sustainable products and services, are also considered within asset

management and investment strategies and other capital deployment decisions, as further described

in the ‘Integration of our Transition Plan into capital deployment and decision-making’ section of these

Climate Statements.

No physical climate-related opportunities have been identified to date, and no formal review of these has

been undertaken by the Board.

Fletcher Building continues to embed climate considerations into its strategy and operations, as

illustrated below:

• Fletcher Building’s GHG emissions have been published since 2008, and from 2018 these have been

audited, which has covered the basis of calculation, methodology applied, exclusions, targets, and

re-baselining.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

• In 2020, through Aon New Zealand, Fletcher Building completed a physical risk assessment of its
assets to impacts from climate change, which was repeated in 2022. Both assessments were based

on a Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 worst-case scenario and pointed to modest

risk exposure from climate stressors.

• In 2022, Fletcher Building undertook a high-level internal assessment of transition risks and

opportunities expected to arise over the three to ten year horizon, from which key risks and

opportunities were publicly disclosed.

• In 2023, the Group’s Risk Framework was externally reviewed by a third-party consultant, including

a review of the governance and processes for assessing climate-related risks and opportunities. The

framework was noted as fundamentally sound. The Group is currently progressing and implementing

the proposed amendments from that review.

• Also in 2023, Fletcher Building participated in a New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) work

stream to develop climate scenarios for the construction and property sectors in New Zealand. This

work stream also included a broad assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities for the

sector.

• These scenarios were discussed and agreed with the ARC as the basis for assessing physical and

transition risks and opportunities.

• In 2023 and 2024, building on this foundation, through Aon New Zealand, Fletcher Building

conducted further scenario analysis, leveraging the developed scenarios specific to its operations.

This analysis focused on identifying both physical and transition risks and opportunities relevant to

the Group. This entailed educating and engaging various divisions to understand and provide input

on the impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate change.

• With these scenarios as the basis, subject matter experts across our New Zealand divisions and

relevant Group functions attended workshop sessions on transition risks and opportunities to inform

consideration of impacts in their business unit, and form the prioritised list of transition risks and

opportunities in these Climate Statements.

• A summary of this detailed analysis was presented to the Board to consider and inform future

decision making. Subsequent sections of these Climate Statements provide an overview of the

scenario analysis methodologies employed and the specific risks and opportunities identified for

Fletcher Building.

• In May 2024, the ARC approved a Carbon Pricing Framework which introduces an ‘internal cost of

carbon’ to be considered and incorporated within the Group’s capital investment decision-making

process. The purpose of this is to support the effective evaluation and prioritisation of investments

that also materially impact the carbon footprint of the Group or any of its business units, and support

the alignment of the Group’s capital investment strategy with its sustainability goals and strategy.

• The Group continues to innovate its operational processes to deliver value to its customers and

reduce the unfavourable impact these may have on climate change, including presenting divisional

updates on climate reduction progress and future initiatives to the SHES Committee. Innovation

can be seen in the Board’s support of several carbon reduction initiatives, with the most significant

examples being support of coal reduction projects for our cement operations, rooftop solar

initiatives and the purchase of renewable electricity in Australia; transitioning our Construction diesel

fleet to hybrid vehicles; and continued investment and work in water management and recirculation

across select sites.

Management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and

opportunities

The executive team has the highest management-level responsibility for identifying, assessing and

managing climate-related risks and opportunities. Supported by the Climate Reporting Working Group

(CRWG), the executive team report to the Board on the climate-related impacts on the business and are

responsible for implementing the sustainability strategy within their teams and respective business units.

This includes the integration of climate transition, mitigation plans and initiatives into 5-year divisional

plans, and capital allocation reviews, which are then considered and discussed through the Group’s annual

budget planning processes and monthly operational reviews.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

10

The executive team are also responsible for confirming that business units are appropriately identifying,
assessing and monitoring climate-related risks and opportunities in accordance with our Risk Management

Policy and Sustainability Policy, including assessing and reporting the asset value or percentage

exposed to physical climate-related risks. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Chief People and

Communications Officer (CPO), as functional management leads for the ARC and the SHES Committee

respectively, have management co-accountability for the Fletcher Building’s annual Climate Statements.

The Group’s Climate Statements are prepared by the CRWG, and assessed and reviewed by the members

of the ARC and SHES Committees prior to being endorsed for approval by the Board. The CRWG

comprises representatives from Fletcher Building’s Communications, Risk, Governance, Sustainability,

Investor Relations, and Finance teams.

Reporting to peers/market

Fletcher Building provides disclosures on climate-related matters throughout the year to the market, its

customers, insurers and shareholders. Formal reporting on these matters occurs through the Group’s

financial filings, financial results presentations, investor days, insurance presentations, and at Fletcher

Building’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (ASM). Climate-related matters are discussed directly as part of

investor and insurer meetings through the year. Regular dialogue with peers, policymakers, and external

advisors is undertaken in order for our practices, processes, and frameworks to remain current.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

Strategy
Current climate-related physical impacts and financial impacts

Climate-related physical impacts have been assessed for our business. The assessment included analysis

across all ~780 Fletcher Building sites, with an insured asset value of $9.1 billion (expressed on the basis of

material damage, and excluding business interruption).

Climate-related physical exposure

The assessment showed that the key exposure identified for Fletcher Building assets across the portfolio is

from flooding which is primarily rainfall driven, but there are also exposures to river and coastal flooding.

The exposure from direct sea level rise is limited.

The assessment shows the flood exposure (current day) is expected to be relatively modest. There are 69

sites across the Group showing High or Very High flood exposure, for at least some proportion of the site

including non-critical areas. 45 of the 69 sites are in New Zealand with an asset value of $274 million and

the remaining 24 are Australian sites with an asset value of $773 million. We note that the values given

here are asset values for flood exposure, and should not be interpreted as an assessment of potential

flood impact.

Climate-related physical impact

We have completed a granular analysis of potential flood impact for our New Zealand asset base in FY24,

and intend to complete a granular level analysis for Australian assets in FY25.

Material physical impacts were not experienced in FY24, but were experienced in FY23.

During FY23, the impact from Cyclone Gabrielle and North Island Floods in New Zealand experienced by

our operations was consistent with the levels of exposure and loss indicated by the modelling described

above. The assets impacted were those identified above as being exposed to high or very high flood

exposure. The impact amounted to $21 million for property damages and direct remedial works. This

includes impairment of property and plant, rectification of damage and remediation of leased assets, and

write-down of inventory.

The impacts assessed above for our New Zealand asset base are expressed as impacts without mitigation,

and as part of our Transition Plan we will review and assess appropriate mitigation for New Zealand and

Australian assets based on this analysis of exposure and impact.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

12

Current transition impacts
We consider the most material current drivers of transition impacts to be changes in current regulations,

as well as customer, supplier, shareholder and competitor behaviour. These changes are informing our

current business planning processes and strategic reviews.

The key transition impacts we are experiencing from these drivers, along with Fletcher Building’s current

strategic response, are included in the table below.

Due to the complexity of assessing the transition component of broader business impacts that also

encompass transition impacts, we have not quantified these impacts at this time.

Our anticipated transition risks and opportunities are included in Appendix B and Appendix C.

Currently, under NZ CS Adoption Provisions 1 and 2 we have not provided the current or anticipated

financial impact of transition risks or opportunities. We will provide this in future Climate Statements.

Transition impactsStrategic response

Policy and regulatory changes, including

carbon pricing policies that disincentivise

local manufacture or incentivise imports

of more carbon-intensive products

by competitors. Policy and regulatory

changes including carbon pricing that limit

investment in reducing carbon emissions

due to increased operational costs up the

value chain.

Fletcher Building regularly engages with regulators and ministers on

climate-related matters. The Group is monitoring regulatory changes to

the ETS and other carbon pricing mechanisms on an ongoing basis, and

engages with industry groups and central government on these changes.

Regular financial projections are undertaken to understand cost

implications of potential regulatory changes to the business.

Potential loss of market share to lower

carbon competitor products, if consumer,

client and investor expectations on

sustainable innovation are not met.

Fletcher Building has committed to achieving our ‘30 by 30’ Science

Based Target (SBT). The Group also has targets to increase the revenue

from sustainable products year-on-year.

Market risks are assessed both at operational and corporate levels with

significant risks addressed in the business strategy. The risks of not

providing low carbon products or building solutions are included in the

Group business strategy processes.

Early introduction of products or services

by competitors that have (or are perceived

to have) better environmental performance

or credentials

Fletcher Building regularly scans for comparable disruptive products

globally and plans to introduce appropriate products into the market

as an early mover. Fletcher Building has a central Innovation Team that

supports business units to identify low carbon products and sustainability

innovations.

Greater financial costs to the business

and ultimately to end users if alternative

renewable energy sources for processing

are difficult to access.

Alternative processing technology is being developed with a focus on

manufacturing and processing, particularly in the cement business,

where initiatives include the use of end-of-life tyres as a source of fuel in

place of coal.

Changes in pricing policies for energy sources happens incrementally

over time, allowing Fletcher Building to prepare and plan for cost

implications and reduce end costs to customers.

In Australia, Fletcher Building regularly reviews energy costs and market

trends, and forward purchases electricity, including renewable electricity,

to insulate the business from cost/ supply shocks. A proportion of supply

is for renewable energy.

In New Zealand, this risk is reduced through hedging and other risk

mitigation strategies.

Reduction of attractiveness to stakeholders

including investors, shareholders, and

insurers resulting in reduced capital

availability impacting on value, if perceived

as a high carbon emitter.

Fletcher Building has public carbon reduction commitments and has

initiatives in place to address the major sources of emission, which are

publicly reported.

The Group engages with key sustainability networks and is increasing

its communication to investors and customers about the various

sustainability initiatives and programmes it has available to the market.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

Risk Management
Fletcher Building's Risk Management Framework is aligned with ISO31000: 2018 Risk Management –

Principles and Guidelines standard. The purpose of the risk management framework is to identify, assess,

control, monitor and report the key risks we face so that the Group can achieve its objectives and protect

its staff, customers and reputation. The framework provides a consistent structure for risk management

and is aligned with Group strategy.

Responsibility for operational risk management sits with the managers in the individual business units and

the divisional chief executives.

Our risk management and assurance processes support this through our Group functions and are

ultimately overseen by the Board and the Executive Leadership Team. A dedicated internal audit team

takes a risk-based approach to auditing key business activities and reports directly to the Audit and Risk

Committee (ARC).

Climate-related risks are assessed as part of our overall risk management process, with detailed scenario

analysis of physical climate impacts

1

and risks conducted as a stand-alone assessment in FY20, FY22 and

FY24, and a series of workshops and reviews to assess transition risks using the same scenarios carried out

in FY24.

The scenario analysis process and outcomes were overseen by the Group’s CRWG, which includes the

Group’s Risk team, to facilitate the integration of outcomes of the scenario analysis into the overall risk

management process, including providing high level information to insurers on climate-related risks at

least annually as part of our insurance renewal process.

Risks relevant at Business Unit or site level are discussed as part of the business unit and divisional

assessment of risks, which is facilitated by the Group’s Risk team. All operational business units have

General Managers (GM) and Senior Leadership Teams (SLT) who are accountable for implementing risk

management processes to manage key risks for that business. GMs and the SLT of each business unit are

responsible for maintaining a business unit level register for key risks.

Climate-related physical risks with a significant site impact for a business unit will generally be included

under the Business Resilience risk category and will also inform our business continuity planning.

Where relevant at business unit level, transition risks will form part of the risk assessment under the Legal

and Stakeholder key risks.

This process allows us to prioritise climate-related risks alongside the prioritisation of other risks within

business unit risk registers.

A total of 27 risk workshops were held with the individual business unit leadership teams in FY24. These

workshops are a key component of Fletcher Building’s risk management approach and assist in developing

a bottom-up reporting process. Additionally, the risk workshops process supports the individual business

units’ leadership teams in considering whether appropriate risk management strategies are being

pursued.

At an enterprise level, we assess both physical and transition risks across Fletcher Building and report on

the asset values impacted by climate-related physical risks.

1

Scenario analysis conducted to date focuses on risks and impacts to our direct operations in New Zealand and Australia. The

scenario analysis did not include the full value chain, and therefore there are likely to be some supply chain dependencies that have

not been assessed. The analysis did not include detailed analysis of New Zealand or Australian based joint ventures or associates

where Fletcher Building has joint control or significant influence. These will be included in future scenario analysis based on an

assessment of their materiality to our business operations.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

Scenario analysis
Fletcher Building engaged Aon to assess the physical risk posed by climate change, with assessments

conducted in FY20, FY22 and FY24.

These three scenario assessments were stand-alone assessments, with key risks identified from the

scenario analysis integrated into the overall strategy for the business through including them in Group

level, business unit and divisional risk reviews. The scenarios were used for the assessment of both

physical and transition risks and opportunities.

For FY24, three scenarios were assessed for Fletcher Building. The scenarios were based on the New

Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) ‘Climate Scenarios for the Construction and Property Sector’.

The NZGBC scenarios were developed with participation from a range of industry and other stakeholders,

including building portfolio owners and managers, property developers, construction companies, building

product manufacturers, building design consultancies, representatives from the insurance and banking

sectors, and public sector entities. Fletcher Building participated in the development of the NZGBC

scenarios, with representatives on both the Leadership Group and Technical Working Group during

development of the scenarios.

The NZGBC scenarios were then discussed with the ARC, and by agreement downscaled for Fletcher

Building using Aon’s Combined Hazard Information Platform (CHIP) model for the Group’s assets and

regions of operation. The three scenarios were:

• ‘Orderly’ scenario (1.5°C) where decarbonisation policies are enacted immediately and smoothly.

Whole of life carbon emission reductions requirements for buildings is at 90% by 2050. The data for

this scenario is sourced from downscaled NIWA projections from IPCC AR5 and is aligned to RCP2.6.

Once downscaled data for IPCC AR6 is available, this scenario will align to Shared Socioeconomic

Pathways (SSP) 1-1.9.

• ‘Disorderly’ scenario (<2°C) where significant decarbonisation is delayed until 2030, leading to

global warming being limited by 2100. The sector faces high transition risks and costs after 2030 as

entities rush to decarbonise. The data for this scenario is sourced from downscaled NIWA projections

from IPCC AR5 and is aligned to RCP2.6. Once downscaled data for IPCC AR6 is available, this

scenario will align to SSP1-2.6.

• ‘Hot House World’ scenario (>3°C) where global warming reaches more than 3 degrees above

pre-industrial levels by 2100. No further decarbonisation policies are enacted. Emissions continue

to rise, and the sector faces limited transition risk, but extreme physical risk. This scenario, and the

assessments in FY20 and FY22, align to RCP 8.5 and SSP3.

Physical risk modelling specific to Fletcher Buildings assets and key infrastructure links was conducted by

Aon using the three scenarios outlined here, and data from global Ambiental flood layers, Aon’s bespoke

CHIP model (which provides specific exposure and vulnerability data), NIWA rainfall intensity projections,

NIWA climate projections, and Australian Bureau of Meteorology sea-level rise and rainfall projections.

Limitations of the scenario analysis

For this initial scenario analysis, we focused on risks and impacts to our direct operations in New Zealand

and Australia. The scenarios analysis included Fletcher Building assets and a limited number of key

infrastructure links. The scenario analysis did not include the full value chain, and therefore there are likely

to be some supply chain dependencies that have not been assessed. These will be included in future

scenario analysis based on an assessment of their materiality to our business operations. The analysis

did not include analysis of New Zealand or Australian based joint ventures or associates where Fletcher

Building has joint control or significant influence. These will be included in future scenario analysis based

on an assessment of their materiality to our business operations.

The New Zealand joint ventures and associates that were not included in this initial assessment represent

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

15

<1.5% of the total assets of Fletcher Building, and the majority are Tier 2 or Tier 3 assets.
Detailed analysis of Australian joint venture assets was not conducted because, while downscaled data for

our regions of operation in New Zealand was available for FY24, downscaled data for all of our regions of

operation in Australia was not available. Australian joint ventures represent circa 1% of the total assets of

Fletcher Building.

The scenarios used are limited by the information available at the time, and the assumptions made about

future states. They are not intended to be probabilistic or predictive. Their intended use is as a tool to

support strategic planning by providing a view of multiple plausible future states.

The data sources used in preparing Fletcher Building’s three scenarios are set out in Appendix E.

Time Horizons

Physical risk assessment

Time horizons for the physical risk assessment were:

• Short-Term: Present–2030

• Medium-Term: 2030–2050

• Long Term: 2050–2100

These time horizons were selected because the business, and the construction and property sectors in

general, are associated with long lived assets that will still be subject to the long-term impacts of

climate change.

These horizons are aligned with the Group’s business planning processes. The short-term horizon aligns

with Fletcher Buildings 2030 SBT for GHG emissions reduction and is broadly aligned with the 5-year

business planning cycle, which includes proposed capital deployment for decarbonisation initiatives.

The medium-term horizon aligns with Fletcher Buildings ‘Net Zero by 2050’ strategic goal. The long-term

horizon broadly aligns to a 50-year asset lifetime for significant physical assets.

Transition risk assessment

For the transition risk assessment, the same three scenarios were used, with time horizons adjusted to be

shorter than the physical risk assessment. The time horizons used were:

• Short-Term: 0–5 years

• Medium-term: 5–10 years

• Long term: 10 or more years

Fletcher Building opted for these shorter time horizons because the nature of transition risks, which are

policy, regulatory, market, technology and reputational risks, means that there is limited value and very

high uncertainty in assessments with time horizons beyond one to two business planning cycles. The

short-term time horizon is aligned to the Group’s 5-year planning cycle, and captures most of the period

aligned to Fletcher Building’s 2030 SBT for GHG emissions reduction.

The medium-term horizon aligns with two business planning cycles. We have noted any risks beyond two

business planning cycles as being in the long-term horizon.

Based on the further work undertaken with the assistance of Aon, we believe that the scenarios used are

suitable for our organisation’s size, product types, operations and asset locations.

The scenarios at a glance
Scenario One

An 'Orderly' scenario where the world succeeds in limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-

industrial temperatures. Global emissions decline steadily to achieve net zero CO2 emissions globally by

2050. New Zealand climate policies are ambitious and in line with the rest of the world’s, with the building

and construction sector adopting and prioritising decarbonisation policies. The energy grid shifts rapidly

away from fossil fuel use, with the New Zealand grid reaching 100% renewable by 2050. Alternative fuels

are used as a backup, and renewables are utilised onsite instead of fossil fuels.

The shadow price of carbon increases dramatically to align with a 1.5°C trajectory, steadily rising up to

$250/tCO2e by 2050 (an increase) of ~614% from a 2023 baseline of $35/tCO2e). As a result, the cost

and lead-times for low carbon materials and products increase through the 2020s and 2030s, but they

become more cost and time effective than traditional materials by 2040. The construction sector grows

significantly as carbon-supporting infrastructure is replaced with greener, low carbon infrastructure.

Regulatory changes for the property and construction sector include government procurement policies

targeting recycled materials and circular economy principles. Stringent energy and carbon caps for new

buildings are phased in rapidly. Existing buildings must disclose energy and carbon performance, take

steps to remove all reliance on fossil fuels for operation, and scale up energy efficiency.

Pressures on centralised infrastructure increase with the demand for electrification, closing of fossil fuel

power stations and direct climate impacts on storm and wastewater networks. Modular, circular designs

will take precedence, with existing building re-use and adaptive re-use being in demand rather than new

builds. Rapid densification puts pressure on horizontal infrastructure, necessitating significant upgrades.

Significant behavioural change results in an increased demand for energy efficient buildings, increased

pressures on public transport, the rise of circular business models and a higher consumer awareness

regarding low carbon buildings.

Scenario Two

A ‘Delayed Transition’ where policy, technology and behaviour changes remain slow up until 2030. As

global emissions continue to rise during the 2020s, concerns about meeting Paris Agreement Goals drives

a sudden shift in global policy around 2030. Abrupt and stringent decarbonisation policies are enacted in

the 2030s, succeeding in limiting global warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

New Zealand follows suit with the rest of the world, leading to abrupt policy and market changes for the

property and construction sector post-2030. There is no initial increase in carbon price up to 2030, at

which point price rapidly increases to reach $250/tCO2e by 2050.

During the 2020s there is a slow increase in demand for electricity, followed by a surge in demand in the

2030s as New Zealand rushes to electrify our transport networks. The electricity sector is unprepared

for the sudden shift in demand at 2030, which causes a delay in adequate expansion of the grid during

the 2030s and leads to supply constraints. These constraints result in more frequent blackouts and

fluctuations in electricity prices.

During the 2020s, increased regulation within the sector attempts to address the need to decarbonise,

but regulation is uneven across local entities and conflicting regulations lead to uncertainty. At 2030

more stringent regulatory changes are introduced. During the 2020s there is less investment signalling for

both new and retrofit low carbon buildings, which causes further uncertainty and lack of momentum until

2030. At 2030, significant regulatory changes demand an immediate step change in building energy and

carbon requirements.

Limited investment during the 2020s means the spike in demand for low carbon materials, low energy

technology and onsite generation in 2030 causes significant disruption for the sector. Competition for

availability of products, materials, professional advice and competent installers impacts significantly on

both new building and retrofit projects resulting in escalation in development costs.

Pressures on centralised infrastructure are compounded after 2030 due to increasing densification

and the increasing impacts of physical climate risks. Spatial planning to prioritise decarbonisation and

densification versus climate resilience and managed retreat is inconsistent across the country. This

inconsistency leads to increasing uncertainty for the construction and property sector regarding which

assets are most likely to become stranded.

Initially the construction and property sector is slow to decarbonise, but ‘fast movers’ get the opportunity

to utilise materials, capital, and knowledge while late movers are disadvantaged when demands peak

post-2030.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

18

Scenario Three
A ‘Hot House World’ where global emissions continue to grow. Global average temperature rises to greater

than 3°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

New Zealand’s climate change policy remains in keeping with the rest of the world. No further policies

are introduced to curb emissions, with the building and construction sector following suit. Regulatory

changes are slow and focus on adaptation and managing climate driven immigration/refugees. The price

of carbon remains at the current ETS floor price through to 2050. Mandates are introduced to conserve

energy for critical functions, as asset and infrastructure damages due to climate change are realised.

New Zealand’s electricity grid is gradually decarbonised further in line with current policies. Emission grid

factors remain at 0.06 kgCO2/kWh by 2050 which means buildings wishing to achieve net zero carbon

emissions must invest in their own zero carbon generation.

Existing low carbon materials are readily available due to low demand but there is little innovation

beyond technologies and materials currently available. Investment is prioritised towards adaptation and

climate resilience. Some assets become stranded as building codes increasingly become more stringent

regarding the need for buildings to withstand climate impacts (such as storm events, extreme rainfall,

heatwaves, and floods).

Centralised infrastructure will show failures and stresses, with some assets becoming stranded due to

physical impacts of climate change. Consequently, local councils increase rates to invest in protection and

restoration of certain assets.

There are no incentives for meaningful behavioural change. A significant breakdown of social cohesion

occurs, with heat stress and mental health impacts from climate change at record levels. Food insecurity

and growing populations drive retreat from cities. Spikes in demand for housing occur due to climate-

driven immigration from other parts of the world and increasing numbers of climate refugees.

Physical risks and opportunities
General Approach to applying the scenarios

The risk assessment methodology framework was designed to allow assessment at a site level and at an

organisation level.

This approach accommodates a broader (high level) review of hazard and exposure at a site level as well

as a more detailed assessment for high value or high criticality sites.

The high-level screening of potential physical risks to the Group’s sites (and its operations) was guided by

the answers to the following questions:

• What are the relevant climate-related hazards and their extent of change over the timeframes

of interest?

• Which key sites are exposed to the identified climate-related hazards?

• Are the exposed sites vulnerable to damage/failure because of exposure to the identified hazards?

This assessment has been conducted in FY20, FY22 and FY24 and will be repeated at least every three

years. Key findings from the physical risk assessment are incorporated into our Group-level risk reviews,

and material risks specific to business unit sites should be captured in our risk registers.

Fletcher Building did not identify any physical climate-related opportunities in the FY24 assessment.

Physical risks and impacts

The assessment included analysis across all ~780 Fletcher Building sites, including

• Tier 1 sites, the 59 sites that make up 79% and 69% of the Group’s Material Damage and Business

Interruption values respectively;

• Tier 2 sites, being 11% and 16% of the Group’s Material Damage and Business Interruption values

respectively; and

• Tier 3 sites, being 10% and 15% of the Group’s Material Damage and Business Interruption values

respectively.

Hazards identified for the sites were those material to our operations, and aligned to hazards in the list

that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommend assessing:

• Rainfall

• Temperature rises

• Sea level rises

• Extreme storm events

• Other events, such as bush fires

The FY24 review confirmed that the Group’s overall exposure to climate-related hazards is moderate with

flooding being the key exposure.

Hazards include coastal, river and rain-induced (pluvial) flooding.

The level of exposure to flood risk does not materially change over the three time horizons under any of

the climate scenarios.

The FY24 assessment also confirmed that the proportion of assets exposed to flooding risk has not

materially changed compared to the previous analysis completed in 2022.

The number of sites and site values that are exposed, show limited change over time under each of the

three scenarios and timeframes. When we look at those sites that are highly exposed to flood risk, there is

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

20

an increase in rainfall intensity and flood frequency and/or severity. However, for the majority of sites, this
does not result in a corresponding increase in the impact of floods under most scenarios and timeframes.

Due to more granular flood data becoming available in FY24, we have assessed both the exposure of our

New Zealand assets to flood risk and the potential impact on our New Zealand assets of physical damage

due to flooding. For New Zealand, this is relatively moderate. As an example, the material damage cost of

a 1 in 200-year pluvial flood event if experienced simultaneously at all New Zealand sites is calculated to

be c. $54 million

2

.

We will undertake the same detailed impact analysis for our assets in Australia when the methodology and

more granular data becomes available. While the key exposure across the portfolio is from flooding, other

impacts are relevant for our operations in certain regions.

Bushfire exposure is significant at a relatively small number of locations where we have operations,

including the region where our Laminex Toolara site is located. In FY25 we will conduct a detailed analysis

of the exposure and potential impact of bushfire at Toolara, taking into account existing mitigations.

Laminex Toolara is ~11% of the insured asset value for the Group.

While cyclone exposure is generally considered to be significant for the Queensland region, exposure is

modest for our assets, which are less exposed because they are mostly located in the south of the region.

High or extreme cyclone exposure for our assets in Queensland is potentially up to 4.7% of insured values,

which is less than 1% of the Group’s insured asset values.

Transition risks

General approach to applying the scenarios

In assessing Transition risks and opportunities for Fletcher Building, we reviewed global and regional

risk frameworks for our sector in FY22 and FY23 as part of publishing our voluntary Climate-related

Disclosures. In FY23 we were part of the NZGBC Leadership Group and Technical Working Group that

developed the property and construction scenarios and narratives described in the Scenario Analysis

section.

Following completion of the sector scenarios, we engaged a consultancy with climate risk expertise to

provide us with a comprehensive list of potential transition risks and opportunities, relevant to

our operations.

We reviewed these risks and opportunities with subject matter experts within our business, and with

our Executive team, to identify the most material risks, opportunities and impacts, and the time horizon

when we expect these might occur. Risks and opportunities were identified as material if they would be

expected to have an impact at Group level on financial or operational performance. These material risks

and opportunities were then prioritised based on those expected to be more likely to occur, and to have a

high impact if they did occur.

An assessment of our transition risks and opportunities will be repeated at least every three years. Key

findings will be used to inform our business strategy, by including the response to material transition risks

and opportunities into divisional or Group plans, as relevant.

Transition Risks, Opportunities and Impacts

The material transition risks and anticipated impacts for Fletcher Building are included in Appendix B

of these Climate Statements. Material transition opportunities and anticipated impacts are included in

Appendix C of these Climate Statements.

Our Transition Plan
Our current business model and strategy

Fletcher Building is a significant manufacturer, retailer, home builder and partner on major construction

and infrastructure projects.

Fletcher Building is dual listed on the NZX and ASX, and operates through six divisions – Building

Products, Distribution, Concrete, Australia, Residential and Development and Construction.

Fletcher Building operates in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific, and has approximately 780

operating sites. In FY24 we employed over 12,500 people across our operations.

We operate diversified businesses, from resource extraction, product manufacturing and distribution

through to property development and infrastructure construction. We have a focus on innovation and

growth, including investing in sustainable business and the next generation of building products and

services for our local markets.

The long-term growth outlook for the regions where we operate is robust, with demand for high quality

housing and infrastructure to support growing populations, the subject of enduring macro tailwinds.

Climate change may affect Fletcher Building through physical impacts in our regions of operation, and

transition risks in the regulatory and market environments where we operate. These potential impacts are

described in the Risk Management sections of these Climate Statements and in Appendices A, B, and C.

Reducing our operational emissions is one of the focus areas that supports our current business model

and strategy, together with sustainable innovation and growth in our sectors.

Two of the goals that support our business model are:

• our ’30 by 30’ target for Greenhouse Gas emissions reduction, which is a Science-based Target to

achieve 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2018 baseline; and

• our Revenue from Sustainably Certified Products target is to have >75% of product revenue from our

manufacturing businesses from products that hold a third-party sustainability certification that is

based on whole-of-life analysis.

Transition Plan

Our business model, strategy and Transition Plan will evolve as we continue to assess our climate related

risks and opportunities, and for this disclosure we are exercising Adoption Provision 3 in relation to

transition planning.

The components that our Transition Plan will focus on are reducing our emissions, providing further lower

carbon products and services to the market, and managing our resilience and adaption to climate risks.

Aspects of our Transition Plan that are already underway within the business are outlined below.

Emissions reduction

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions

The key business tool we use for emissions reduction is our Carbon Reduction Roadmap. This maps

technically feasible carbon reduction options for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions for each of our

divisions through to 2030.

The roadmap is reviewed and revised by each division as part of annual budget reviews and as part of the

annual 5-year plan reviews. Performance against the roadmap is reported to the SHES Committee at least

twice per year and is included in the incentives for the Chief Executive of the Concrete division, which is

the division with the highest contribution to emissions.

The highest sources of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for our business, collectively contributing over

90%, are:

• The coal used for process heat in our cement operations at Golden Bay plant in Portland;

• The carbon dioxide produced from the cement manufacturing process itself;

• Electricity used in the manufacture of products in our Australian businesses;

• Process heat from our manufacturing operations in New Zealand; and

• Fuel used for transport in New Zealand.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions for our ongoing operations were 969 thousand metric tonnes of

CO2e (kt CO2e) in FY24.

Coal use and cement operations

To date we have successfully implemented initiatives to reduce the use of coal in our cement operations,

with substitution of biomass and waste end-of-life tyres able to achieve circa 60% substitution for coal. As

part of developing our Transition Plan we will continue to investigate options to reduce coal usage further.

In our cement operations, we have looked at options to reduce the direct emissions from the cement

manufacturing process, and already use a proportion of alternative cementitious materials in our product.

A key part of our Transition Plan is our work with Concrete New Zealand and our support of the concrete

industry roadmap to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The roadmap charts a clear path to

substantial carbon reduction across the industry and it is our collective goal to reduce emissions by 44

per cent from 2020 levels, by 2030.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

23

Electricity in our Australian businesses
Our Transition Plan for these emissions is a combination of rooftop solar energy and renewable energy

purchase, in addition to reductions that are achieved by ongoing decarbonization of the Australian

electricity grid.

We are underway with the first phase of rooftop solar installations for three of our largest sites in Australia.

We have also purchased renewable energy for the 2027 to 2030 period for our operations in Victoria, and

have identified other options for renewable energy purchases.

If we are able to execute our energy Transition Plan for Australia this has the potential to reduce emissions

from this source by up to 60% by 2030 in comparison with our 2018 baseline year, with a 20% reduction

already achieved.

Process heat

To date we have reduced process heat emissions, from natural gas, in our New Zealand steel coating and

wallboards operations through upgrading to more efficient plant or processes.

To reduce process heat emissions further will require cost effective alternatives to natural gas, including

biomass and other sources. As part of developing our Transition Plan in this area, we will focus on

researching alternative lower carbon options identifying options for our largest users of process heat in

New Zealand. A key limitation is the lack of viable solutions to replace natural gas as a high temperature

process heat source.

Transport fuel – our fleet

The main contribution is from our Construction transport fleet. We are transitioning light vehicles to hybrid

options as leases turn over, while we actively track fit-for-purpose options for electric vehicles.

For our heavy fleet and equipment, we are actively looking for cost effective options for lower emission

heavy fleet and have partnered with transport suppliers who are looking for hydrogen and heavy

EV options.

The development and implementation of our Transition Plan for transport fuel is dependent on the

availability of electric or other non-ICE options entering the New Zealand market that are appropriate for

our business.

Scope 3 GHG emissions

The highest sources of Scope 3

3

GHG emissions for our business, collectively contributing circa 85% of

Scope 3 GHG emissions, are:

• Purchased steel and purchased cement;

• Construction operations and materials; and

• Road transport

There are a number of smaller sources that make up our Scope 3 GHG emissions, including transmission

and distribution losses from the electricity and natural gas grids, which are circa 3% of Scope 3 GHG

emissions, business travel and employee commuting, which is circa 2% of Scope 3 GHG emissions, and

3

We assess Scope 3 GHG emissions for all upstream value chain categories and all downstream categories other than processing,

use and end-of-life treatment of sold products, and downstream leased assets. Details of the Scope 3 categories assessed, and

the assurance of Scope 3 GHG emissions, are provided in the Assurance Statements for FY18 to FY24 that are available in the

‘Sustainability reports, publications and policies’ section of our Sustainability web page (fletcherbuilding.com/sustainability).

other sources individually contributing less than 2% each of overall Scope 3 GHG emissions.

Our Transition Plan currently focuses on addressing the most significant components of our Scope 3 GHG

emissions.

Notwithstanding the above comment, our business units and divisions focus on efficiency and

management of operating costs, and this is expected to flow on to Scope 3 GHG emissions reductions in

many areas, including transport.

Scope 3 GHG emissions were assessed as 1,326 kt CO2e in FY24.

Purchased steel and cement

Together these two materials contribute circa 60% of our Scope 3 GHG emissions, and are the area we are

most focused on to reduce our Scope 3 GHG emissions.

Our main action is to continue discussions with key suppliers on their alignment with global steel and

cement sector decarbonisation pathways. Our two most significant steel and cement suppliers are already

aligned to the Science-based Target sector decarbonization pathways, and a key part of our Transition

Planis to look at increasing the proportion of suppliers we use who have these reduction goals.

Construction operations and materials

Initially, our Transition Plan for construction materials other than steel and cement requires a greater

understanding of materials with high embodied carbon and the supply chain for these materials. Our key

action to reduce this category of Scope 3 GHG emissions is to understand the high carbon components in

this category.

Road Transport – supply chain

We are engaging with our current suppliers to understand their decarbonization strategies, and the impact

of these strategies over the next ten years and through to 2050. Decarbonizing the supply chain for heavy

freight would have the most significant impact in this emissions category.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

25

Low carbon products and services
Providing lower carbon products and services is a core part of our business strategy, supported by the

goal of at least 75% of product revenue from our manufacturing divisions from products that have had a

life-cycle analysis assessment.

To date, we have also completed construction of the LowCO™, house and three terraces in FY24. These are

residential dwellings designed to have lifetime emissions consistent with a 1.5-degree future. The LowCO

TM


designs are an exemplar of sustainable residential construction. To support our and others transition to a

lower- emitting built environment, we have made the designs freely available for anyone to use.

Our Transition Plan is to continue to offer lower carbon products to market, and to move into offering

lower carbon services within our operations.

Adaptation and resilience

The physical risk assessments carried out in FY20, FY22 and FY24 are the foundation for our approach to

adaption and resilience. As part of the development and implementation of our Transition Plan we will

continue the assessment of physical risk exposure and impact, and identify potential mitigation options.

The key next actions for this aspect of our Transition Plan are to:

• complete the granular assessment of potential impacts of physical risks on our Australian operations

and, where material, our joint venture entities;

• continue to review and identify potential mitigations for assets with potential high impact; and

• begin assessment of key supply chain and transport impacts.

Integration of our Transition Plan into capital deployment and decision-making

Our Transition Plan has been increasingly integrated into our internal capital deployment and funding

decision-making processes. Central to this alignment is our annual five-year deep dive process, where

business units that have the most impact on the Group's Transition Plan, and based on our analysis are

most exposed to climate-related risks and opportunities, are required to highlight and present initiatives,

including capital investments, to meet the Group's sustainability goals and targets, and also identify those

opportunities and risks where performance and investment requires particular focus.

Supporting this, in May 2024, the ARC approved a Carbon Pricing Framework which introduces an 'internal

cost of carbon' metric for capital investment decisions. This framework aims to effectively evaluate

and prioritise investments that materially impact the carbon footprint of the Group and its operations

against other investments. While not yet fully embedded, this framework is expected to provide improved

guidance and a more rigorous basis for the allocation of capital to be deployed in key areas identified in

the Group’s Transition Plan.

Where it makes the most sense to do so, we continue to allocate capital to projects that we believe will

enhance our resilience to risks that impact our businesses, including physical climate risks, such as

potential modifications to facilities or supply chain adjustments.

On an ongoing basis, resources in our innovation team and in our various business units are directed

towards identifying, developing and bringing to market lower carbon products and solutions. This aligns

with our Transition Plan's focus on seeking to provide more sustainable options to our customers.

As noted in the Risk sections of these Climate Statements we are integrating physical and other climate-

related risks within our risk framework for the business.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

By integrating these elements into our operational processes, we bring a more balanced view to
improving the operational excellence of our business units, which is becoming increasingly aligned

with our climate transition goals. As we continue to refine our Transition Plan, we anticipate further

enhancements to our capital deployment strategies and the resources required to support and execute

these. These strategies are expected to evolve with our understanding and identification of climate-

related risks and opportunities.

Barriers to implementing the Transition Plan

Several barriers to implementing the Transition Plan are included in other sections of these Climate

Statements, principally within the Transition Risks section. Three potentially significant barriers to

implementation of the Group’s Transition Plan are:

• Regulatory uncertainty, particularly in relation to the ETS and its treatment of industrial emitters, may

pose a significant barrier to implementing the Transition Plan should it make operational costs or

capital to decarbonize uneconomic in the local market.

• The potential impact of high energy costs, or availability of lower carbon intensive energy sources.

• The Group’s ability, including the ability of our supply chain, to implement the transition for goods

and services where proven technical solutions do not yet exist.

Metrics and Targets
Greenhouse gas emissions

Fletcher Building has a near-term Science-based Target for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, verified by

the Science-based Targets Institute (SBTi) in December 2019.

The target for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions is aligned to a ‘well-below two degrees’ future, but is

not aligned to a 1.5 degree future. The target is a 30% absolute reduction in combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG

emissions by 2030 from a FY18 base year. The target does not rely on offsets.

In addition to this near-term Scope 1 and Scope 2 target, Fletcher Building’s long-term target is Net Zero

by 2050 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions. This is consistent with New Zealand and Australian

regulatory goals that are aligned to a 1.5 degree future, and therefore we consider our Net Zero target to

be aligned to a 1.5 degree future. The Net Zero target is an internal target but is aligned to the Science-

based Targets approach. This target is likely to rely on offsetting for residual emissions, which would be for

no more than 10% of emissions.

Fletcher Building has made progress toward our 2030 and 2050 targets. Comparative Scope 1 and Scope

2 GHG emissions are provided in the chart below. Combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for FY24 were

19% lower than for the baseline year of FY18.

Appendix D provides the methodology used to calculate emissions, and details of the assurance for Scope

1 and 2 GHG emissions, which is to a ‘reasonable’ assurance standard.

As well as tracking progress against our absolute emissions reduction target, we track our emissions

intensity, using the basis of tonnes of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per million dollars of revenue.

Fletcher Building is a diversified business, operating across multiple sectors, therefore emissions intensity

is the industry based metric we use for comparison with other entities. Emissions intensity decreased 22%

from 162 t CO2e/$m in FY18 to 126 t CO2e/$m in FY24.

Fletcher Building’s Scope 3 science-based target is for 67% of suppliers, based on emissions, to have set
their own science-based target by the end of 2024. Currently, the percentage of Scope 3 GHG emissions

from suppliers with a Science-based Target or an aligned pathway is circa 35%, and we are therefore

unlikely to achieve this component of our Science-based Target.

Scope 3 GHG emissions were assessed as 1,326 kt CO2e in FY24

4

. FY23 Scope 3 GHG emissions were

assessed as 1,450 kt CO2e, an increase from FY22 Scope 3 GHG emissions of 730 kt CO2e

5

. This increase

reflects improved information about the embodied emissions in the goods we procure from the most

significant sources of Scope 3 GHG emissions in our supply chain, gained by engaging directly with these

suppliers. The decrease in Scope 3 GHG emissions from FY23 to FY24 is at least partially due to reduced

market activity.

Appendix D provides the methodology used to calculate emissions, and details of the assurance for Scope

3 GHG emissions, which is to a ‘limited’ assurance standard. The assurance statements for GHG emissions

are available at: https://fletcherbuilding.com/assets/1-about-us/documents/Fletcher-Building-Assurance-

Statement-FY24-Emissions-Inventory.pdf

Physical risks

The metric we currently apply for physical risk exposure is potential impact as a value or percentage of

asset value. For example, as noted previously we calculate a potential material damage cost of $54 million

for 1 in 200-year pluvial flood event if experienced simultaneously at all New Zealand sites, and we will

undertake the same assessment for our assets in Australia when the methodology and more granular data

becomes available.

More detail on physical risk exposure and impact is included in Appendix A.

Other metrics and KPIs

The metrics and targets mentioned above, related to GHG emissions and asset risk, are the set of key

performance indicators used by Fletcher Building to measure and manage climate-related risks and

opportunities.

Capital deployment

In FY24, Fletcher Building invested $179 million toward capital projects aimed at carbon reduction, energy

efficiency, and the provision of lower carbon building products, responding to climate-related risks and

opportunities. This amount reflects the total capital invested in each project during the year, and therefore

the figure does not separate out the capital specifically addressing climate related risks and opportunities.

Key investments include:

• Laminex® New Zealand's Taupō plant expansion ($98 million): Set to begin production in late 2026,

expanding our provision of wood-based products into the New Zealand market.

• The completion of Winstone Wallboards® new GIB® plant ($38 million): Expected to deliver a 13%

reduction in CO2e emissions per square metre of board produced compared to the old Auckland

plant, featuring onsite recycling and innovative waste plasterboard recycling technology.

• The completion of LowCO™: Our sustainable homes of the future project, demonstrating how to

reduce lifetime carbon emissions in residential construction consistent with a 1.5 degree future.

• Our other ongoing process and plant upgrades: With a focus on energy and material efficiency,

including enabling the use of lower carbon biomass and waste end-of-life tyres as sources of process

heat for our cement operations, and reduce the use of coal.

Scope 3 GHG emissions reported here are all upstream value chain categories and all downstream categories other than processing,

use and end-of-life treatment of sold products, and downstream leased assets. Details of the Scope 3 categories assessed, and

the assurance of Scope 3 GHG emissions, are provided in the Assurance Statements for FY18 to FY24 that are available in the

‘Sustainability reports, publications and policies’ section of our Sustainability web page (fletcherbuilding.com/sustainability).

Remuneration
ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) goals are incorporated into the STI scorecards of our senior

leaders to drive focus and outcomes beyond the financial year. Where appropriate, and aligned to Fletcher

Building’s sustainability strategy, this includes goals that work towards our target of a 30% reduction in

carbon emissions by FY30 and achieving net zero by FY50.

At an Executive level for FY24, this has been incorporated into the individual goals with a 5% contribution

to STI for the Chief Executive of our Concrete division. This division is the focus because it is the largest

contributor to Fletcher Building’s Scope 1 GHG emissions and contributes circa 55% of the Group’s

combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions.

Internal emissions price

Fletcher Building’s Internal Cost of Carbon Framework (the cost of carbon framework) was approved by

the ARC in May 2024 to guide the Group’s capital investment decisions in a manner that aligns with its

environmental goals and meets regulatory expectations, both present and future. By incorporating carbon

pricing into the decision-making process, the aim is to support the effective evaluation and prioritisation

of investments that also materially impact the carbon footprint of the Group and any of its business units.

Methodology for Carbon Pricing: Our shadow price for carbon is determined using multiple external

reference points:

• NZ ETS market price: current & forward prices

• NZ ETS Market Floor: current & future published prices

• NZ ETS Cost Containment Reserve: current & future published reserves

• NZ Carbon offset price: current & forward prices

• Renewable electricity price (AU): current & forward prices

Different weightings are assigned to these reference points based on relevance, currency, and availability.

The market price has the highest weighting due to its currency. The market floor provides a minimum

value. Carbon offset credits, limited to 10% of the Group’s carbon reduction, are weighted accordingly,

with the cost containment reserve weighted based on relevance.

The approved internal carbon pricing mechanism is evolutionary, and assumes the Group’s 'carbon

prices' will change with time. As countries, and indeed the Group, gets closer to their carbon reduction

deadlines, urgency becomes a factor. Therefore, updates to the Group’s internal 'carbon prices' will need

to be considered regularly (at least annually), to remain current.

The Group’s carbon pricing also considers the cost of implementing initiatives in different jurisdictions

and initiatives with different time horizons, where a blend of current and forward/future pricing is used

to inform an appropriate carbon price for projects in different countries and with different horizons. The

following carbon prices were approved for internal use:

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

30

In addition to the inclusion of STI for the Chief Executive of the Concrete division, all divisional Chief
Executives are required to provide a long-term carbon reduction plan that supports Fletcher Building’s

30% reduction by 2030 target, and which identifies and costs specific GHG reduction initiatives.

Transition risks and climate-related opportunities

We estimate that 80% of our business activities, as a proportion of FY24 gross revenue, are vulnerable to

Transition Risks. These were assessed on the basis of those divisions that are exposed to at least one of

the material transition risks identified in Appendix B.

We estimate that 100% of our business activities are able to take advantage of climate-related transition

opportunities, on the basis of those divisions that can align with at least one of the transition opportunities

identified in Appendix C.

Appendices
Appendix A: Detailed physical risk findings

The key findings from the extended analysis, are summarised below. All values are expressed as FY24

values for material damage.

• The climate is projected to change for New Zealand and Australia in the next 100 years. Both

countries are expected to experience an increase in temperatures and communities on the coast

are expected to be faced with increased sea levels. Additionally, analysis indicates that there will

be variation in the frequency and intensity of rain events that will affect river flooding, storm and

cyclones and changes to susceptibility to bush fire for Australia which currently has a higher risk

level than New Zealand. This increased hazard level will change the exposure of each site, potentially

damaging assets which is reflected in the site risk.

• The assessment included analysis across all ~780 Fletcher Building sites. The key exposure identified

to FBL assets across the portfolio is of flooding. This is primarily pluvial flood risk (rainfall driven), but

there is also exposure for fluvial (river) flooding and coastal flooding. Direct sea level rise exposure

has been assessed as limited but it does impact coastal flooding exposure. Bushfire exposure

is significant at a relatively small number of locations (notably Toolara) and cyclone exposure is

significant for assets in Queensland. FBL’s exposure to all of these is increasing and the severity of

this exposure increases over time with general modest shifts in exposure in the short to medium

term but more significant changes over the longer term and more pessimistic projections of climate

change action.

• Flood exposure (current day) is expected to be relatively modest with only a minority of sites even

potentially exposed to high or very high flood exposure levels in New Zealand (45 sites with a

combined value of $274 million) and Australia (24 sites with a combined value of $773 million).

• Increases in risk due to climate change have been assessed to be modest. Across the whole portfolio

for NZ sites there are only 12 sites which indicate an increase in risk grading from current day when

climate change is considered. This increase only occurs for RCP 8.5 (SSP3). There are 23 sites, which

based on current day flood exposure have no flood risk, but which are indicated as having a flood

exposure (generally very low but some low) in the future. This only occurs for the RCP 8.5 (SSP3)

scenario and this increase in flood risk emerges by 2060 for this scenario.

• Financial risk analysis was undertaken across the New Zealand portfolio this indicates a potential

material damage loss of approximately $53 million for pluvial impacts and $47 million for fluvial

impacts for a 1 in a 100 year event (this increases to approximately $54 million/$48 million

respectively for a 1 in 200 year event). While events of this magnitude do not commonly occur within

a short time frame across the whole country, this assessment provides a benchmark of value at risk

of flood. The increase in the value of flood related loss for climate change projections is relatively

modest with increases by 2100 of around 5% for SSP1/SSP2 and around 10% for SSP3.

• Further analysis including the annualised loss across all flood events (range of return periods) for NZ

assets has been carried out. This indicates an annualised loss of approximately $11 million/year for

flood. This value reduces if the analysis excludes a small number of specifically vulnerable sites. The

annualised loss with climate change impacts increases by approximately 5% for SSP1/SSP2 and 12%

for SSP3 by 2100.

• From the analysis three sites have been identified as the priority for more detailed assessments

(which includes Toolara for bushfire hazard) and a number of sites with experienced or indicated

flood exposure where the action is to review the analysis including supplementing site information

during insurance surveys (where applicable) or by direct communication with the site/business unit.

• In summary the portfolio exposure for FBL to climate hazards is moderate. The key exposure is to

flood with some more localised exposure to storm/cyclone and bushfire. The % of values at risk

from flood is relatively modest (in terms of the overall value of Fletcher Building) in part because

of the large number and geographical spread of sites. The change in the risk profile due to climate

change is also relatively modest with a modest increase in risk with this being most significant for

longer time horizons (2100) and more severe climate change (SSP3 scenario). It should also be noted

the analysis does not include any allowance for adaptation, mitigation or change in the portfolio to

reduce its risk exposure.

Risk area

Policy and regulatory changes for EITE businesses, including re-baselining

of industrial allocation, that make local cement manufacturing financially

unsustainable.

Key impacts:

• The discretionary review of industrial allocation discourages private

investment into decarbonisation due to the uncertainty it creates as a

result of potential 5-yearly reviews.

• Cost increases to domestic operators shifts production overseas to

jurisdictions with lower, or no, carbon pricing.

• Lack of local production makes New Zealand reliant on imported

cement, which results in heightened supply chain risk for the

construction sector, and less economic resilience.

• Global emissions increase due to the higher intensity of overseas

producers.

Policy and Legal

Policy and regulatory changes including carbon pricing policies that make

local manufacturing less cost competitive.

Key impacts:

• Importers are not captured by the NZ ETS, which puts local

manufacturers within the ETS at risk of a loss of market share.

This has a direct impact on potential viability of domestic cement

production.

• Reduced revenue generation ability of existing assets.

• Competition in both quality (lower carbon, high quality imports) and

cost (cheap, higher carbon overseas imports).

• The ETS impacts energy prices broadly, which will impact costs

across the business.

• Carbon capture, uptake and storage options are currently

prohibitively expensive, and in our view will remain so for the

medium to long term.

S M L

High priority

Policy and Legal

Inability to make use of alternative renewable energy sources, or Unstable

supply and pricing of low carbon material feedstocks and fuels.

Key impacts:

• Downstream reputational and financial impacts.

• Failing to switch from energy sources that are subject to future

pricing policies may increase costs for Fletcher Building and end

users.

• Risk of locking in fossil fuel combustion technology for

manufacturing if comparable cost solutions are not available soon.

Inability to lock in long term supplies of material feedstocks and fuels

may impact ability to transition certain processing activities, leading

to a risk of failing to meet emissions reduction milestones.

Appendix D: Methodology used for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol:

A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and

Reporting Standard: Supplement to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard

(together referred to as the GHG Protocol) and ISO 14064-1:2018 International Standard for GHG

Emissions Inventories and Verification.

Scope 1 (ISO 14064 category 1, direct emissions), Scope 2 (ISO 14064 category 2, indirect emissions

from imported energy) and Scope 3 GHG emissions (ISO 14064 categories 3-6, indirect emissions from

the supply chain) have been externally assured by Toitū Envirocare in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions have Reasonable assurance, and Scope 3 GHG emissions have Limited

assurance. Assurance statements for FY18 to FY24 are available in the ‘Sustainability Reports’ section of

our website.

GHG emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol location-based methodology. All

Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions from our businesses are calculated on the equity share basis. This means

that emissions from our businesses and from joint ventures we have an ownership interest in have been

included. For joint ventures, the percentage of emissions included is based on our percentage ownership

of the joint venture.

The activity data used to calculate the main Scope 1 GHG emission sources is summarised below:

• Process emissions from limestone, soda ash, dolomite and clinker - Measured data obtained from

process weighing equipment, Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) system and stock surveys.

• Solid fuels (coal, waste end-of-life tyres) – Measured data obtained from process weighing

equipment and stock surveys.

• Solid biomass fuels (air dry wood, oven dry wood, biosolids) – Measured data obtained from process

weighing equipment, and for internal sources of solid biomass such as offcuts and sander dust,

calculations from product counts, or average product weights.

• Liquid fuels (diesel, petrol, fuel oil, biofuel) – Invoices and bulk data reports from suppliers.

• Gaseous fuels (natural gas, LPG, acetylene) – Invoices and bulk data reports from suppliers.

Scope 2 activity data (purchased electricity) was obtained from invoices and bulk data reports from

suppliers.

Scope 3 GHG emissions, those from our supply chain, were calculated in accordance with the GHG

Protocol. Scope 3 GHG emissions were assessed for all upstream supply chain categories and all

downstream categories other than processing, use and end-of-life treatment of sold products, and

downstream leased assets. Our reported Scope 3 GHG emissions for FY24 include data sourced directly

from our largest steel and cement suppliers. Supplier-specific data was used for c. 54% of reported Scope

3 GHG emissions.

The following GHG Protocol Supply Chain Categories are excluded from our reporting:

Use of sold products: The building products that we manufacture would be expected to be largely inert if

disposed of at the end of life. We have not assessed these impacts as yet, but have a project to do so as

part of a project associated with our LowCO

TM

residential building design.

Downstream leased assets: We do not lease any significant downstream assets.

Processing of sold products: The significant majority of our sold products are building supplies sold for

direct use in building and construction, and not reprocessed for final use. Therefore, processing of sold

For the balance of emissions, we have used emission factors from goods and services published by

the New Zealand

or Australian

7

Governments to convert the mass, volume or other units for goods

and services into tonnes of CO2 equivalents (t CO2e). Both the New Zealand and Australian government

emission factors use the 100-year time-horizon GWP (GWP100) values, as listed in table 8.A.1 of the Fifth

Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC. Where data on quantities of supply chain goods and services

was not available, we have estimated emissions using spend based factors, using the internationally

recognised DEFRA factor set

8

, corrected for exchange rates and inflation. The DEFRA factors use 100-year

time-horizon GWP (GWP100) values, as listed in table 2.14 of the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of

the IPCC.

As required periodically by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol accounting standard, we re-baselined our

emissions in FY23 to account for acquisitions, divestments, methodology changes and improved

availability of historic data. Re-baselining means that the GHG emissions and emission reductions are

based on what our real-world emissions would have been for all years from, and including, FY18 if the

boundary of our operations for those years had been the same as for FY23.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions are calculated for our continuing operations and exclude emissions from

our Tradelink® business for FY24 and for all comparative years, including the FY18 baseline year. Tradelink®

contributed c. 2% of total Group emissions in FY24.

Uncertainties for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emission factors are disclosed in the relevant MfE and DCCEEW

publications referenced here. Uncertainties for Scope 1 and 2 activity data used in the GHG protocol have

an assumed qualitative uncertainty of 5%.

Activity data for > 99% of our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions has a qualitative uncertainty of ≤ 2%, with the

remaining < 1% having qualitative uncertainties ranging between 5-20%.

Activity data for 52% of our Scope 3 GHG emissions activity data has a qualitative uncertainty of ≤ 5%, with

the remaining 48% having qualitative uncertainties ranging between 20-50%.

Appendix E: Data sources used for the three scenarios
1. Increase in average global mean air temperature taken from: IPCC 2021. Summary for Policy Makers.

In: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Sixth Assessment Report of

the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Data for Scenario One aligns with SSP1-1.9, data for

Scenario Two aligns with SSP1-2.6, and data for Scenario Three aligns with SSP3-7.0.

2. Percentage increase in average number of hot days per year has been taken from the Climate

Change Projections for New Zealand: Atmosphere Projections Based on Simulations from the IPCC

Fifth Assessment, 2nd Edition. Data for Scenarios One and Two align with RCP2.6 downscaling and

Scenario Three aligns with RCP 8.5 downscaling. Note there is significant variability between regions

for baseline (1986-2005) number of hot days per year, however, percentage changes are similar

across different locations.

3. Increase in rainfall intensity data has been taken from the Climate Change Projections for New

Zealand: Atmosphere Projections Based on Simulations from the IPCC Fifth Assessment, 2nd Edition.

Data for increase in rainfall intensity was calculated using projected increase in rainfall depth for a 12

hour, ARI 100yr ('1 in 100 year') rainfall event (as a proxy). Calculations for Scenarios One and Two are

based on the projected degree of warming for RCP2.6 and Scenario Three is based on the projected

degree of warming for RCP8.5.

4. Rainfall data for Australia provided by Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

5. Increase in extreme wind speeds data has been taken from the Climate Change Projections for New

Zealand: Atmosphere Projections Based on Simulations from the IPCC Fifth Assessment, 2nd Edition.

An approximate estimate for increased in wind speed at different timeframes was taken from tables

presented on page 106 of the MfE 2018 report referenced. The data for Scenarios One and Two was

taken from RCP2.6 projections and Scenario Three was taken from RCP8.5 projections.

6. Emissions trajectory data has been sourced from NGFS emissions modelling available on the NGFS

IIASA Scenario Explorer. The emissions trajectories for the scenarios presented in this report have

been aligned with the NGFS global emissions trajectories as follows: Scenario One aligns with NGFS

Net-Zero 2050, Scenario Two with NGFS Disorderly and Scenario Three with NGFS Hot-House World.

7. New Zealand population and age distribution projections taken from: Tatauranga Aotearoa / Stats

NZ 2020. National population projections: 2020 (base) - 2073. Data for scenarios one and two taken

as the 50th percentile for selected timeframes and data for Scenario Three was taken from the ‘High

Migration’ projections as a proxy for increased climate-driven migration under this scenario.

8. Average sea level rise (NZ) data taken from: Te Tai Pari o Aotearoa / NZ Sea Rise 2022. Maps: For

Public. Data for average NZ sea level rise was derived from a random data point with the vertical land

movement correction removed (this derives the same number across all data points). The data for

Scenarios One, Two and Three align with NZSeaRise projections for SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6 and SSP3-7.0

respectively. Timeframes for sea level rise data have been provided out to 2130, given that significant

variation in average sea level rise between scenarios will not be realised until beyond 2100.

9. Sea level rise data for Australia provided by Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

10. Projected changes in carbon, fossil fuel use, and energy efficiency for buildings have been estimated

under each scenario using MBIE’s Building for Climate Change programme intentions as a benchmark.

11. Carbon price and oil price projections taken from: He Pou a Rangi / Climate Change Commission

2021. Scenarios dataset for the Commission's 2021 Draft Advice for Consultation (output from

ENZ model). Carbon price and oil price data for Scenario One is aligned with the Climate Change

Commission’s ‘Tailwinds’ scenario. Scenario Two utilises a combination of the ‘Headwinds’ and

‘Tailwinds’ scenarios and Scenario Three aligns with ‘Current Policy Reference Case’.

12. Electricity grid emissions have been assigned a sensible estimate for each scenario at different

timeframes based on the Climate Change Commission’s Electricity Market Modelling Datasets 2021.

13. Relative change in labour productivity due to heat stress in NZ has been determined using the NGFS

Climate Impact Explorer. The projections use average annual temperatures and are displayed with

spatial aggregation method using a population-weighted average. The data for Scenarios One,

Two and Three align with NGFS Net-Zero 2050, Delayed Transition, and Current Policies scenarios

respectively.

Fletcher Building Limited Climate Statements 2024

14. Global GDP data is taken from NGFS projections in the NGFS IIASA Scenario Explorer. The data for
Scenario One aligns with NGFS Net-Zero 2050 and assumes a medium chronic physical risk damage

estimate. Scenario Two aligns with NGFS Disorderly and assumes a medium chronic physical risk

damage estimate. The data for Scenario Three aligns with NGFS Current Policies and assumes a high

chronic physical risk damage estimate. See Appendix G for limitations.

15. Net carbon emissions forestry data has been sourced from modelling completed by the Climate

Change Commission. Scenario One aligns with the ‘Tailwinds’ scenario, Scenario Two with

‘Headwinds’ and Scenario Three aligns with ‘Current Policy Reference Case’.
