STRENGTHENING OUR
SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

This year marks an important milestone for Scott as

we release our first Sustainability Report. A significant

step three years into our Environmental, Social and

Governance (ESG) journey. This report reflects our

evolution as a company, our commitment to Climate-

related Disclosures (CRD) and updates several key

ESG initiatives, including setting our ambitious carbon

reduction target of 30% by 2030.

At Scott, we recognise our role in advancing a low-carbon,

climate-resilient future and our responsibility as a good

business. With industry-leading customers across multiple

sectors, we recognise the role we play in supporting their

decarbonisation journeys and the flow on effect this will have

on their industries and customers.

One example is our partnership with Caterpillar, where we

are contributing to improving the sustainability of mining

by developing the automated energy transfer solutions for

large battery-electric mining trucks. We take seriously the

responsibility to help facilitate this transition, understanding

the broader impact it will have on accelerating carbon

reductions across the sector.

This report also details our progress with our Double

Materiality Assessment, a comprehensive study that reflects

our commitment to ensuring our sustainability priorities

align with those of our stakeholders. Working with our

sustainability advisors Tadpole, we conducted an external

materiality assessment, building upon our initial assessment

from 2021. This updated analysis has been pivotal in refining

and guiding the focus areas of our ESG Framework.

By taking a deep, genuine look at how our ESG initiatives

align with our core purpose and the needs of our broader

stakeholders, we have built a robust framework centred

around our foundational pillars of People, Purpose and Place,

as detailed in this report (page 7).

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, product innovation and

storytelling and communication. Together, these focus areas

guide us in being a good business, ensuring we operate with

integrity, responsibility, and a commitment to positive impact.

They serve as both a roadmap and a measure of our progress.

In terms of GHG emissions, our climate statement within

this report, provides an in-depth look at our team’s work in

mapping Scope 1 and 2 emissions, a complex yet essential

endeavour across our global operations.

By sharing these disclosures, we demonstrate our

commitment to sustainability and accountability at every

level of our organisation.

While we are proud of what we’ve accomplished, we

recognise that achieving a sustainable future requires

continuous commitment, adaptability and ambition. Looking

ahead, we are committed to embedding ESG across Scott’s

operations, creating measurable improvements in our

environmental and social impact, and driving a sustainable

future for our customers, stakeholders and employees.

This framework now encompasses 10 key focus areas, which

include employee retention and engagement, safety and

wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, customer experience,

EMBRACING DOUBLE MATERIALITY
To ensure that Scott’s sustainability efforts align with

stakeholder priorities, the company conducted an external

materiality assessment, building on an initial assessment

completed in 2021. This original internal assessment laid the

groundwork for Scott’s ESG strategy, and the new assessment

represents a significant milestone in refining the company’s

focus areas.

Scott adopted a Double Materiality Assessment to gain

insights into both the financial and non-financial impacts of

its operations, giving each equal importance. The concept

of ‘Double Materiality’ reflects a dual-perspective approach

designed to achieve a comprehensive understanding:

The first perspective, Impact Materiality (Inside-Out)

analyses insights into the social and environmental impacts

that are directly linked to Scott’s operation and value chain

by evaluating the scale of its impact (health, environmental

and social factors), the scope (number of individuals

affected) and irremediability (the company’s ability to

address and resolve issues).

The second perspective, Financial Materiality (Outside-

In), focuses on assessing external factors that could affect

Scott's financial performance. This involves considering the

size of potential financial impacts,

such as the magnitude of risks or opportunities posed by

external events. It also assesses the likelihood of these

impacts occurring.

As Casey Jenkins, , Group GM – People, ESG,

Marketing & President Scott Mining, notes, “By integrating

these two perspectives, we can better understand and

manage our organisation’s overall impact and risks, leading to

more informed decision-making and sustainable practices.”

The FY24 assessment involved gathering valuable insights

through horizon scans, surveys, and interviews with

customers, suppliers, employees, directors, and industry

bodies. These efforts informed the continuous evolution of

the company’s Materiality Matrix, allowing Scott to refine

its ESG strategy by focusing on areas critical to its broader

ecosystem.

Reflecting on this process, Casey Jenkins explains, “After

three years of executing our ESG strategy, we recognised

the importance of working closely with our broader

ecosystem to ensure alignment with stakeholder priorities.

We engaged with our stakeholders, gathered their

perspectives, and were able to evolve our Materiality Matrix

to highlight the key areas of focus for our ESG initiatives".

Scott’s newly refined ESG Framework is designed to drive
sustainable growth by aligning with priorities identified

through insights from the Double Materiality Assessment.

This process has enabled the company to sharpen its focus on

the most impactful areas, ensuring that its initiatives remain

both effective and aligned with long-term objectives.

The refreshed framework centres on three key pillars: People,

Purpose and Place, which guide Scott’s ESG efforts.

EVOLVING OUR ESG FRAMEWORK

For this report, the focus is on the ‘Place’ pillar, as it directly

supports the company’s objectives of reducing greenhouse

gas (GHG) emissions and advancing climate adaptation

initiatives. By prioritising the ‘Place’ pillar, Scott aims to

accelerate progress in its GHG emissions reduction strategy

and strengthen its climate adaptation plan, demonstrating

a clear commitment to environmental stewardship and

sustainable impact.

30 BY 30: REDUCING
OUR CARBON EMISSIONS

Scott is committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions

by 30% by 2030 as part of its sustainability efforts. The

“30 by 30” target underscores Scott’s dedication to

minimising its environmental footprint and supporting

global climate goals.

Over the past year, Scott has strengthened its carbon

management strategy, collecting and analysing emissions data

for FY23 and FY24. In FY22, which serves as the baseline year,

Scott reported 1,811 tonnes of CO₂e from its Scope 1 and 2

emissions.

FY22 was particularly significant, as Scott expanded its

emissions reporting to include sites across China and the

United States, achieving full coverage of its global operations

– and reported on this data in its 2023 Annual Report.

This comprehensive baseline serves as the foundation for

achieving the 30% reduction by 2030.

The focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions is strategic, as these

are areas where Scott has direct control and visibility. Scope 1

emissions arise from the company’s own operations, while

Scope 2 includes emissions from purchased electricity.


"30 by 30” target underscores Scott’s

dedication to minimising its environmental

footprint and supporting global climate goals."

– Casey Jenkins, Group GM – People, ESG,

Marketing & President Scott Mining

“By concentrating on these, we can ensure measurable and

impactful progress. In contrast, Scope 3 emissions—covering

indirect impacts like suppliers, product usage, and waste

management—are significantly more complex to measure

accurately due to reliance on third-party data, which can often

be inconsistent or incomplete,” adds Casey Jenkins.

SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS REPORTING

Scott recognises the importance of addressing its wider

value chain impact and while the company has been

assessing Scope 3 emissions for several years, not all

sources have been comprehensively measured.

This is due to challenges with incomplete source data or

the lack of robust measurement methodologies and levels

of supplier maturity. Given these gaps, we have opted not to

disclose Scope 3 emissions in this Carbon-related Disclosure.

This approach ensures that when we do disclose our

Scope 3 emissions, the data will be accurate, reliable, and

aligned with best practices. Addressing the existing gaps in

Scope 3 measurement is a priority for FY26.

As Casey Jenkins, notes: “Our focus on Scope 1 and 2

emissions reflects our commitment to taking immediate,

actionable steps. However, we recognise the importance

of tackling Scope 3 and are working diligently to close

these gaps to achieve a truly comprehensive carbon

management strategy.”

Scott will continue refining its carbon management

strategy, exploring further opportunities to reduce its

overall impact while ensuring alignment with its long-term

sustainability objectives.

FOR GREATER DIVERSITY


"New solutions demand new ways of thinking,

and a diverse team is essential to reflect our

global customer base and drive innovation."

– Casey Jenkins, Group GM – People, ESG,

Marketing & President Scott Mining

As a global business, Scott embraces cultural diversity and

recognises the backgrounds within its organisation. Scott’s

core belief is that 'diverse minds create diverse solutions.'

Through targeted recruitment initiatives and programmes

that encourage more women to enter engineering, Scott

is striving to achieve a more gender-diverse workforce,

particularly in technical roles and leadership positions.

“When it comes to gender diversity, we are proud of our

progress to date, however, our journey is only just beginning,”

says Casey Jenkins Group GM and President of Minerals.

“New solutions demand new ways of thinking, and a diverse

team is essential to reflect our global customer base and

drive innovation.”

student s to solve real-world problems through robotics, ranging

from football games to rescue missions and performing arts.

"Over the years of sponsoring this event, we’ve noticed an

encouraging trend of increased female participation," says

Jenkins. "We believe this involvement will lead to more young

women pursuing careers in STEM and contributing to the future

of innovation."

In the tertiary education sector, Scott has strengthened

its commitment to gender diversity by partnering with

the University of Canterbury, renowned for producing top

engineering graduates. Together, they launched the Scott

Technology Women in Engineering Scholarship, aimed at

supporting female engineering students. The scholarship covers

up to $5,000 in fees, provides a $1,000 stipend and offers a

paid internship at Scott. Now in its second year, the initiative is

helping pave the way for more women to enter the engineering

profession, fostering a more inclusive future in the industry.

In August, the Scott Technology Women in Engineering

Scholarship was awarded to Molly Newman. Studying a

Bachelor of Engineering specialising in Mechatronics, Molly

engineering. Molly's leadership and passion for women in

engineering impressed the panel and we not only look forward

to supporting her over the next few years but also seeing the

impact she will make,” says Jenkins.

"This scholarship's acknowledgement of the role that

diversity and inclusion can play in the success of engineering

is incredibly motivating." shares Molly Newman, 2024

Scholarship recipient.

In addition to scholarships, Scott offers alternative pathways

into technology through our apprenticeship programme,

which plays a crucial role in developing technical talent.

“At Scott, we understand that people have different learning

styles, and our apprenticeship programme provides a

valuable, hands-on pathway for individuals to develop their

technical skills. These apprentices not only stay with the

company but also grow and thrive, achieving remarkable

career milestones. It’s important to us to create opportunities

for success, recognising the diverse talents and potential that

exist outside traditional academic routes," notes Jenkins.

APPRENTICESHIP PATHWAY:

FROM ROBOCUP TO SCOTT

Heather Robertson’s career in engineering began with a

passion for robotics, sparked by her participation in RoboCup,

a school-based robotics competition sponsored by Scott. This

early exposure, coupled with a personal connection, led her

to pursue an apprenticeship at Scott in 2018.

"I didn’t know much about robotics at first but I loved it from

the start and never looked back," she says.

Competing in RoboCup throughout high school, Heather

excelled in categories like theatre, soccer and rescue,

winning multiple events. She first learned about Scott’s

apprenticeship programme from Donald, a Scott employee

who judged RoboCup. Encouraged by Donald, she applied and

was accepted. "I didn’t fully understand what an electrical

apprenticeship involved but I knew I wanted to work at Scott

because of their robotics work," Heather explains.

Her apprenticeship provided valuable hands-on experience,

including building machines like the lamb primal (a machine for

processing lamb) and maintaining older equipment. Mentored

by electricians Tom and Donald, she gained a solid foundation

in practical skills. "An apprenticeship teaches you far more

practical skills than you can learn in a classroom," Heather says.

Heather’s role expanded as she worked with the service

team, which deepened her interest in service work. In 2022,

she moved from New Zealand to Brisbane to take on a service

engineer role. "Moving to Brisbane was a big adventure. The

apprenticeship gave me a head start, while many of my peers

were still in university," she shares.

ACHIEVING ZERO LOST TIME INJURIES
At Scott, people are at the core of its business and One Scott

continues to be a fundamental part of our overall strategy and

ESG framework. Central to this is an unwavering commitment

to employee health and safety. Given the nature of the

manufacturing sector in which Scott operates, it developed a

comprehensive health and safety strategy that is continually

evolving to safeguard its people.

In FY24, Scott health and safety performance has hit a notable

milestone, particularly in reducing injuries and fostering

proactive engagement, with a 100% reduction in lost time

injuries (LTIs), marking a significant step in the company’s drive

towards building a work environment free from harm.

“Through evolving preventative measures, Scott is creating a

safer and more secure work environment,” says Casey Jenkins,

Group GM & President of Minerals. “Scott continues to focus

on driving a high-performing safety culture. We are fostering an

environment where every team member feels safe, cared for

and empowered to look after one another.”

INNOVATING SAFETY ENGAGEMENT

This year marked the third Stop for Safety event, a global

initiative that pauses operations to recognise outstanding

achievements in, and facilitating a wider discussion around,

health and safety – with Auckland’s Rocklabs site taking out

2023 Outstanding Performance winner, followed closely by the

Qingdao, Podivin and Dunedin sites.

In parallel, Scott’s use of the BeScott Health & Safety App

across the global Group has allowed the company to further

digitise its safety efforts. Through the app, 948 hazards were

reported in FY24 reflecting an 8% reduction. The app has also

played a critical role in improving near-miss reporting, which

has improved by 14%, underscoring the proactive safety culture

within the organisation.

Leadership engagement has increased, with senior leaders

initiating 475 safety conversations this year, a 12% increase on

last year, further embedding safety into everyday operations.

The Safe Mate programme, which encourages peer recognition

for positive safety behaviours, has also seen increased

participation, demonstrating that employees across the

organisation are actively contributing to creating safer working

environments.

ADVANCING GLOBAL SAFETY

STANDARDS

Another key achievement for Scott this year is the continued

success of our ISO45001 certification programme. This

internationally recognised standard for occupational health and

safety management systems was achieved at several of our sites,

including Auckland, China and the Czech Republic, with Belgium

also gaining certification in March.

“This certification not only validates our internal efforts but

also enhances our organisation's credibility and commitment

to safety excellence, positioning us strongly with external

stakeholders and customers,” adds Jenkins.

“These results reflect the strength of our safety initiatives and

our unwavering commitment to continuous improvement across

all areas of health and safety and building an environment that is

free from harm,” concludes Jenkins.

CRITICAL RISK

FRAMEWORK

Managing critical risks remains a fundamental part of

our health and safety strategy. Scott has identified eight

critical risks that could potentially cause serious harm to

our employees: Mobile plant, falling objects, fixed plant,

suspended loads, hazardous substances, potential energy,

working at heights and driving.

“Effective management of these critical

risks is essential to our overall strategy and

commitment to the safety and wellbeing

of all employees. Each member of the

Executive team sponsors a specific critical

risk area, reinforcing accountability and

leadership in risk management.”

Integrating Scott’s ESG objectives into the business strategy is
essential to drive sustainable growth and long-term success.

Teams from across the business have been involved in key

elements of this disclosure including in developing our

scenario narratives and responses.

The strategy work undertaken as part of the process of

preparing Scott's climate-related disclosures included the

business completing detailed analysis of potential scenarios

and identifying climate-related risks and opportunities. In

line with the External Reporting Board's (XRB) guidance, this

is to ensure we evaluate the critical risks and opportunities

we may face as a business. The process we undertook, and

the outputs we created, are detailed in the scenario analysis

section of this report.

Scott’s strategy disclosure also includes our perspective on how

climate change has impacted the business in the most recent

reporting period. This is documented in the section that follows.

STRATEGY

transport routes, and ongoing reassessment of Scott's chosen

operational location relative to patterns of weather events.

In Europe, while there has been no impact in FY24, severe

weather events may lead to stricter regulations related to land

use and food resource protection in future. We may also see

regulations regarding the use of renewable energy increasingly

become the standard.

Chronic physical impacts: Extreme temperatures have not

impacted Scott’s operations and the ability of our employees

to work efficiently in FY24. However, Scott has robust control

measures and policies in place to ensure safe working conditions

in the event of extreme temperatures.

TRANSITION IMPACTS

We have seen energy costs increase in Europe and Australia

for Scott. We anticipate this may continue in the future. Scott

is currently investigating transitioning our Australian forklifts

to be fully electric, as well as investigating on site solar energy

generation to reduce and offset power from the grid. These

initiatives will help to address the increased energy costs

currently impacting our business.

New climate-related legislation, particularly in New Zealand and

Europe, has resulted in an increased cost of doing business to

meet reporting requirements.

With regards to the current financial impacts of Scott's physical

and transition impacts identified above, we will be undertaking

these in the second reporting year, utilising XRB's NZ CS 2

Adoption Provision 1.

CURRENT IMPACTS AND

FINANCIAL IMPACTS

PHYSICAL IMPACTS

Extreme acute weather events: In recent years, flooding,

strong winds and forest fires around the world caused supply

disruptions, flight delays and impacts on freight. While Scott

has not been materially impacted by these events in FY24,

the occurrence of these these events have reinforced the

importance of fortifying our operations against climate risks.

If these events were to occur in future, Scott would adapt to the

impacts of such acute weather events by exploring alternate

SCENARIO ANALYSIS

As part of developing Scott’s climate-related disclosures

for the strategy pillar, the business conducted an in-depth

scenario analysis to identify the key climate-related risks and

opportunities that may arise in the future and their potential

impacts on the business. Scott is a global leader in automation

and robotics, serving a diverse range of sectors, including

protein processing, mining, materials handling, and appliance

manufacturing. As such, the scenario analysis process needed to

consider these sectors and any relevant outputs.

The scenario analysis work details three climate scenarios,

as required by the XRB:

1. A 1.5°C global warming scenario

2. A 3.0°C or greater global warming scenario

3. A third temperature scenario of Scott's choosing

For the structure of the three scenarios, Scott chose to use the

Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) framework,

which provides various temperature scenario ambitions and

outcomes, and key trends underpinning them. The specific

scenarios within this framework and their temperature policy

ambitions are outlined in the next section of this report

'Scenario Analysis Methods and Assumptions'.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS METHODS

AND ASSUMPTIONS

Why these scenarios?

The decision to use the NGFS framework and the following three

scenarios was guided by XRB's requirements and the importance

of considering the various industries Scott serves. As such, the

rationale for these decisions reflects the dual need to meet

regulatory standards and address industry-specific risks.

NGFS scenarios chosen:

1. Orderly Transition: Net Zero 2050 (<1.5°C global

temperature outcome)

2. Disorderly Transition: Delayed Transition (~2°C global

temperature outcome) (Scott’s temperature of choosing)

3. Hot House World: Current Policies (>3.0°C global

temperature outcome)

The NGFS scenarios are consistent with frameworks selected

by many other organisations and are particularly effective in

rigorously assessing transition risks.

The Net Zero 2050 scenario allows Scott to assess our transition-

related risks under a rapid but planned decarbonisation pathway.

Delayed Transition scenario maximises and explores transition

risks by providing the most abrupt transition and decarbonisation

pathway. In contrast, the Current Policies scenario enable Scott

to support considerations around the physical impacts of climate

change over time.

Scenario characteristics

Each of the three scenarios Scott used is characterised by key

physical and socio-economic trends, influencing the direction of

change and the different pathways that could play out over time.

A description of these various emissions reduction pathways

and key trends associated with each scenario is provided in the

following table. Key characteristic trends were guided by the

NGFS framework, various sector scenarios and input from the

Scott team.

Sustainability Report 2024

Page 17

Scenario time horizons
Scott was also required to select three time horizons over

which the three scenarios play out. These needed to consider

the short, medium and long-term potential outcomes of

climate-related risks and opportunities. The three-time

horizons selected were:

• Short: 2024-2027

• Medium: 2028-2040

• Long: 2041-2050

The endpoints of each time horizon are determined by a year

(2027, 2040, 2050) and were chosen to align with Scott’s internal

commercial planning horizons and to improve applicability of

scenarios to the sectors which Scott services.

The short-term aligns with Scott’s strategic planning process, the

medium-term reflects the significant activity taking place in this

period that could impact Scott, and the long-term aligns to 2050

as the Net Zero target date many businesses are striving towards.

Scenario data sources

The use of data in a scenario analysis helps to paint a picture of

potential trends over time in the lead up to each temperature

outcome. The data sources that Scott used during the

construction of each scenario are provided in the Appendix of

this report. No modelling outside of that which supports the

primary data has been used in the construction of each scenario.

The scenario analysis process

While the scenario analysis has been conducted as a standalone

analysis, outputs from the process, particularly the climate-

related risks and opportunities, will serve as input into Scott's

existing strategy and risk processes.

Scott’s scenario analysis process followed six key steps. These

are outlined below, at a high level.

The scenario planning process outlined above has had the full

backing and participation of the Executive team. The Audit and

Risk Committee had oversight of the process with regular updates.

Scott engaged the external sustainability consulting firm,

Tadpole, to support and facilitate the creation of our climate-

related disclosures, including the development and delivery of

the scenario analysis process, in line with XRB guidelines.

Scenario analysis narratives
Based on the outputs from our scenario analysis, Scott developed

three narratives to illustrate how we consider key climate-related

trends may unfold over time and their potential impacts on our

business and wider industry. These narratives are outlined below.

Orderly - Net Zero 2050

The NGFS assumes the world shifts immediately and smoothly

towards a sustainable path in response to the impacts of climate

change. It assumes consumer behaviour increasingly favours

organisations focusing on climate action, and therefore we

anticipate an increasing demand (and pressure) for low-emissions

products, with a strong willingness from the market to adopt and

pay for these. Manufacturers are at the epicenter of this shift.

The robotics and automation sector undergoes transformation

and growth, with substantial investments in research and

development, which could lead to breakthroughs in energy-

efficient automation. These advancements optimise energy use,

reduce waste, and enhance efficiency in manufacturing and

logistics, making it a solid investment for organisations in these

sectors.

Robotics and automation are also seen as a solution to manage

the impacts of an aging population while playing a crucial role in

creating resilient supply chains, capable of adapting to climate-

related disruptions. Increased data use and transparency enable

businesses to make more informed decisions, aligning product

categories with evolving consumer and business expectations.

Broadscale electrification also occurs within industries as they

race to decarbonise and this investment in capital temporarily

pushes commodity prices upwards as heavy emitters are forced

to reign emissions in.

We foresee that growth in critical mineral demand increases and

the mining sector sees continued strong growth, increasing the

market size for Scott’s mining products. However, this growth

also means there are increased regulations on land and resource

use, traceability and modern slavery commitments. Heavy

vehicle electrification and automation sees Scott leverage its IP

into new sectors.

Globally, consistent and strong political ambition across parties

signals the market to decarbonise immediately and rapidly,

supported by industry consultation and policy certainty. There

is a growing trend of climate litigation against organisations that

are not perceived to be contributing sufficiently to sustainability

efforts. Organisations who move quickly to adapt and prepare

for the impacts of climate change reap the benefits of customer

and employee loyalty, strong commercial relationships and

are well prepared to weather the period of uncertainty in the

2020’s and 30’s.

Disorderly – Delayed Transition

The NGFS assumes that throughout the 2020's, economic

pressures dominate society’s focus, seeing climate action

deprioritised in favour of other issues. Climate change mitigation

is seen as a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. Some forward-

looking companies invest in decarbonisation but this is typically

at the fringes. Despite national emissions targets, even

well-intentioned companies struggle to transition, delaying

investments in circularity, low-emissions products, and the

technology required to decarbonise their operations.

The response to climate change is characterised by ambitious

commitments but poor follow-through until panic begins

to spread among the general population and businesses in

the late 2020's and early 2030's. In response, governments

introduce a series of policies aimed at rapidly transitioning

the economy to low emissions. Although well-intentioned,

these policies, developed with minimal consultation and

deployed haphazardly, lead to unforeseen externalities.

Farmers are hit particularly hard as regulations target

methane reduction and consumers move away from high-

emissions food. Only those who demonstrate low-emissions

production credentials win in the marketplace and the sector

sees fast consolidation. Operating costs increase due to

regulation-related rises in the price of energy, fuel, transport

and rent.

Organisations scramble to mobilise transition plans, requiring

fast decisions on asset divestment, product portfolio changes

and decarbonisation strategies. Scott’s customers increasingly

demand information on its emissions footprint and product-

level data, requiring Scott to rapidly develop this capability.

Internationally there is significant variation in domestic policy,

creating an environment of uncertainty and complexity. The

disjointed nature of the transition and associated policies

create friction when accessing raw materials, compounded

by exploitation, lumpy demand and chaotic planning – all of

which increase costs and complexity.

Access to finance and insurance hinges on comprehensive

transition planning and disclosure. Insurance for high-carbon

activities or at-risk locations becomes increasingly expensive

or unavailable as insurance companies withdraw from these

markets. Organisations who can demonstrate their progress

towards climate security can access discounted capital and

the growth of green bonds and loans increases dramatically.

There are significant benefits available to organisations who

transition rapidly.

Sustainability Report 2024

Page 19

Hot House World – Current Policies
The NGFS assumes that from the present day to 2050, no

additional climate policies are implemented. Physical impacts of

climate change continue to affect all areas of the economy. Acute

climate events cause road and bridge closures, while chronic

impacts degrade coastal infrastructure and working conditions

within warehousing.

Legacy infrastructure becomes unreliable, and traditional routes

become unusable for significant periods, impacting Scott's

ability to efficiently source and move products. Increased

wind speeds, wave swell and storms hamper New Zealand’s

already remote ocean-based supply chains. The workforce faces

increasing pressure to maintain service levels, leading to stress

and workforce attrition. Costs escalate, and customers become

unwilling or unable to pay, making access to finance highly

problematic.

New Zealand, Australia, and the rest of the world focus on

prioritising food and energy security, leading to uncontrolled

emissions growth. Highly cyclical governments with unclear

decarbonisation objectives dampen long-term planning, and

funding is directed toward adapting to the changing climate

rather than developing mitigation strategies. The lack of

effective mitigation efforts and disagreements on climate action

exacerbate existing social tensions.

Climate mitigation technology development lacks direction, with

minimal emphasis on reducing emissions. Technology adoption and

automation are seen as critical enablers for organisations to adapt

to the changing climate and Scott's growth is rapid as it leverages

its IP into new sectors and automation is increasingly utilised.

Previous reliance on the consistent supply of raw materials is

called into question as manufacturers start to see suppliers

impacted by the effects of climate change in some source

locations. The historically reliable logistics network starts to crack,

impacting the long complex supply chains for raw materials.

These impacts are exacerbated by geopolitical tensions

and protectionism as countries begin to prioritise their own

resources. Some source locations become untenable, and

organisations must develop strategies to de-risk themselves.

Despite these challenges, some businesses find opportunities in

developing resilient systems and innovative solutions to manage

climate impacts. Companies that can adapt to the harsh realities

of a hot house world, by leveraging advanced technologies

and diversifying supply chains, may still achieve success, albeit

with higher operational costs and increased risk management

complexity. However, the overall business environment remains

challenging, with significant uncertainties and heightened

competition for resources and market share.

CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS,

OPPORTUNITIES AND IMPACTS

Outputs from our scenario analysis allowed us to identify

potential physical and transition climate-related risks and

opportunities that could materialise over our three-time

horizons. The potential impacts of these risks and opportunities

were also explored during our scenario analysis. These outputs

are provided in the Risk Management section of this report

(please refer to the risks and opportunities tables).

The anticipated financial impacts of Scott’s climate-related risks

and opportunities, and the time horizons over which these may

occur, will be undertaken in the third reporting year, utilising

XRB's NZ CS 2 Adoption Provision 2.

Capital deployment

Scott is currently determining how climate-related risks

and opportunities serve as an input to our internal capital

deployment and funding decision-making processes. Scott

does currently allocate some capital towards decarbonisation

initiatives including the installation of charging facilities at our

European sites.

TRANSITION PLAN
Scott business model and strategy

Scott has a commitment to our Engineering Scott to High

Performance 2020 - 2025 Strategy, which has driven

sustainable growth and leadership across core sectors and has

led to the extension of the strategy through 2027. This includes

a focus on enhanced productisation and modularisation in our

product development to improve serviceability, sustainability

and customer engagement while reducing engineering time,

project risk and reputation as an innovative partner.

Scott offers solutions that range from the initial design and

consultation to the installation, implementation and support of

automation systems and products. This full-service approach

Current Status and Future Transition Planning

At this stage, Scott has not developed a transition plan describing

how the business will position itself as the global and domestic

economy transitions towards a low-emissions, climate-resilient

future state. The intention is to undertake this work in Scott's

second climate-related reporting year, utilising XRB's NZ CS 2

ensures long-term customer engagement and recurring

revenue. The company serves a range of core sectors such as

MHL, Protein, Minerals and Appliances and operates in nine

countries around the globe. This diversification helps mitigate

risks associated with dependence on a single market and

leverages its technical expertise across domains.

Scott’s automation solutions are designed to improve

operational efficiency, reduce costs, enhance safety and

productivity, and provide sustainability benefits for its

customers. This value proposition supports customer retention

and encourages new business.

Scott's value chain is comprised of the following elements:

RISK MANAGEMENT
Scott has a thorough and robust Risk Management Framework

that is centered around our risk register. The register is

formally reviewed at each Audit and Risk Committee meeting,

initially by management and subsequently it is presented to

the ARC for review. The Board has overall responsibility for

overseeing Scott’s Risk Management Framework.

Any suggested additions or deletions, or changes to risk profiles

from the previous risk register are highlighted and flagged by

management and discussed at the ARC, with the CFO responsible

for initiating the discussion.

The prioritisation of risks within the register is undertaken by

management utilising a grid that rates each risk according to

likelihood and impact to ascertain a risk score, which is then

colour coded (Red/Amber/Green) using a pre-determined risk

score grid. Each risk is also assessed against a numeric risk

criterion, which is an estimate of quantified financial impact

to Scott, ranked from 1 (minor) to 5 (catastrophic). At the

management review, these rated risk scores and criteria are

documented and compared to the previous rating for each risk.

Mitigations for these risks are also identified as part of this

process, as is the relevant link to strategic initiatives for each risk.

Owners from within the Executive team are identified for each

individual risk.

Climate-related risks and opportunities have been integrated into

the existing Scott risk management framework and are reviewed

in the same cycle as all business risks.

The specific climate-related risks identified through the

scenario analysis process have been integrated with the existing

Board risk management process. These risks have replaced or

supplemented the existing climate risks identified within the

overall risk matrix and are also identified as the climate-related

risks stemming from this thorough process, of which the Board

have had clear oversight throughout. The climate-related

risks identified through scenario analysis are also maintained

separately and are assessed and reviewed in the same cycle and

forums as the overall integrated risk management framework,

which is at a minimum annually.

METRICS AND TARGETS

Below is a summary of Scott’s Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse

Gas (GHG) emissions. The business notes that an internal

emissions price is not employed over this reporting period.

As such, for the purposes of primary users this price may

be interpreted as $0.

ABSOLUTE SCOPE 1 AND 2 GHG

EMISSIONS

Absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for the Group in FY24

totalled 1,807.15 tonnes CO2e.

Scope 1 emissions come from the combustion of transport

fuel by the company’s car and forklift fleet. Other Scope 1

emission sources include stationary fuel used for heating and

in back-up generators, lost refrigerant gases and gases used

in welding.

Scope 2 emissions come from the generation of purchased

electricity, and are location based (meaning we calculate

them on the basis that we consume electricity from national

and state grids).

GHG EMISSIONS INTENSITY
Intensity Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions

In addition to measuring and tracking our absolute emissions,

we track intensity emissions to understand our “carbon

efficiency” and how it is changing over time. We have

identified the following intensity metrics as those that will

allow us to do this most effectively.

FY22FY23FY24

Total gross Scope 1 and

Scope 2 emissions per

$M revenue8.175.996.55

These inventories have been measured in compliance with

ISO 14064-1 (2018) using an operational control consolidation

approach. All emissions that Scott Technology has direct

control over are covered. No facilities or operations have

been excluded.

Emission factors used in the measurements are country

specific, sourced from the following agencies:

• New Zealand Ministry for the Environment (MfE)

• Australian Government’s Department of Industry,

Science, Energy and Resources

• US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

• UK Government’s Department for Energy Security and

Net Zero (DESNZ)

• carbonfootprint.com (for European country electricity

emission factors)

For the FY24 measurement we used emission factors with

AR5 Global Warming Potentials (GWP). Emissions have been

calculated by applying the appropriate emissions factors to

Scope 1 and 2 activity data.

No assumptions or estimations have been made in measuring

Scope 1 emissions. Uncertainty is low as calculations are

activity based using emission factors with +/- 0.7% to

2.4% uncertainty (MfE). For Scope 2 electricity emissions,

calculations use ICP meter data, which is assumed accurate.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for each regional division

have been verified by McHugh & Shaw Ltd (NZ, Australia,

China and USA) and Vincotte (Europe), to a Reasonable level

of Assurance. The consolidated Group inventory, being the

summation of these divisional inventories, has not been

assured. A programme to facilitate Group level assurance in

FY25 is currently under development.

Our assurance statements can be found on our website,

https://scottautomation.com/en/about-us/sustainability

Scope 3 emissions

Though we have been assessing Scope 3 emissions for several

years, not all Scope 3 emission sources have been measured.

This is due to incomplete source data, or the unavailability

of robust, meaningful measurement approaches. Given

there are gaps and some shortcomings in our Scope 3

measurement to date we have decided not to disclose

Scope 3 emissions in this Climate Statement, utilising XRB's

NZ CS 2 Adoption Provision 4.

By utilising Adoption Provision 4, Scott is also exempt

from providing comparative information for Scope 3 GHG

emissions in the second reporting period (for each metric

disclosed in the current reporting period an entity must

disclose comparative information for the immediately

preceding two reporting periods (NZ CS 3, General

Requirements)).

Addressing the gaps in our Scope 3 measurement is our focus

for FY25. We look forward to disclosing our Scope 3 emissions

in our future Climate Statements.

Climate impact on assets and business activities

Our understanding from the work we have completed

through scenario analysis and the associated risk assessment

of the three scenarios is that all areas of our business are

susceptible to the impacts of climate change. Whether these

materialise as risks or opportunities depends on our approach

to them, the magnitude and speed of the impact’s onset

and the preparation we have undertaken prior to the risk

materialising, if at all. Additionally, given that we are a global

business it is clear to us that physical and transition risks will

impact different areas of our business in a variety of ways.

TA R G E T S

We have set a short-term Scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions

reduction target of 30% by FY30. This is against a FY22 Base Year.

This is not a target that supports limiting global warming

to 1.5 °C, as defined by the Science Based Targets Initiative

(SBTi). We are in the early stages of developing and

implementing our strategy for reducing absolute Scope 1 & 2

carbon emissions, and these targets reflect current initiatives.

As we further develop our reduction strategy as part of our

transition planning, an updated target out to FY35 or beyond

may be disclosed in future climate statements.
