RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

This Climate Statement (‘Statement’)
has been prepared for the year ended

31 March 2025 (FY25) to meet Rakon’s

obligation to make Climate-Related

Disclosures under Part 7A of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and

the associated Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Standards (NZ CS) developed

by the External Reporting Board (XRB).


The Statement covers Rakon Limited and its subsidiaries

(Rakon) (NZX:RAK). The Statement has not been subject

to an independent audit, however, the FY25 Scope 1 and 2

Greenhouse Gas emissions disclosed in this statement and

some associated disclosures have been subject to

independent limited assurance as set out in the report on

pages 32-34. The Statement has been prepared for our

primary users, being existing and potential shareholders,

customers, lenders and other creditors.

The External Reporting Board (XRB) develops and issues

reporting standards on accounting, audit and assurance,

and climate, for New Zealand entities across the private,

public, and not-for profit sectors (www.xrb.govt.nz).

The XRB’s NZ CS includes:

• NZ CS1, which contains the climate-related disclosure

requirements and associated greenhouse gas emissions

disclosures assurance requirements;

• NZ CS 2, which provides optional adoption

provisions; and

• NZ CS3, which contains the principles, underlying

concepts and general requirements.

Important information

The Statement contains climate-related and other

forward-looking statements and metrics, including

climate-related scenarios, transition planning, climate

projections, assumptions, forecasts, statements of Rakon’s

future intentions, estimates and judgements which are not

and should not be considered guarantees, predictions or

forecasts of Rakon’s present and future strategies, future

climate-related outcomes or financial performance. These

statements are subject to known and unknown risks,

inherent uncertainties, limitations around inputs and available

data, and other factors, many of which are beyond Rakon’s

control. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on

such statements in light of the significant uncertainties that

limit the extent to which they are useful for decision-making.

The underlying risks and assumptions involved in climate

change modelling may cause actual outcomes to differ

materially from those set out in the Statement. The risks and

opportunities described here may be more or less significant

than anticipated. There are many factors that could cause

Rakon’s actual performance or achievement of our objectives

to differ materially from that described, including economic

and technological viability, as well as climatic, government,

consumer and market factors outside Rakon’s control.

Where we provide links to other information, the linked

information adds context to the information disclosed in this

Statement. The linked information is not considered to be

material by itself to the disclosures required by NZ CS unless

stated otherwise.

While we have prepared the information in this Statement

based on our current knowledge and understanding, we

reserve the right to change our view in the future. We caution

against reliance on aspects of this Statement which is

necessarily subject to the caveats above.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Disclosure objective for the Governance section – to enable primary users to understand:
• the role the Board plays in overseeing climate-related risks and opportunities; and

• the role management plays in assessing and managing those climate-related risks

and opportunities.

OVERSIGHT OF CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Rakon’s Board has ultimate responsibility for oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities.

The Board has delegated oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities to the Audit and

Risk Committee. This is evidenced by our Board and Audit and Risk Committee Charters which

include these responsibilities.

How the board oversees climate-related risks and opportunities:

The Audit and Risk Committee is scheduled to meet four times per year, with two of the

four meetings focusing primarily on risk-related matters, including climate-related risks

that meet Key risk status in Rakon’s risk management framework (please refer to the Risk

Management section of this Statement for more information). Climate-related opportunities

that relate directly to Key risks are reported to the Committee. The Committee reports directly

to and advises the Board on climate-related risks and opportunities.

Rakon has established a climate change education programme. The programme focuses on

the Board, the senior management team and business team leaders initially as the key decision

makers for the business. It includes a combination of in-person briefings on climate change

from subject matter experts, reading material and access to appropriate online climate

change resources.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

The Board previously reviewed an initial assessment of
the potential impact of climate change on Rakon’s strategic

pillars (including climate-related risks and opportunities)

as part of its review of Rakon’s strategy. In FY25 we have

created a framework document covering how we intend

to embed climate-related risks and opportunities in strategy

processes. The implementation of that framework at

Board and management levels is now expected to be

a FY26 activity.

We are currently building Rakon’s capability to set,

manage and report on climate-related metrics and

targets. Following the implementation of our sustainability

management software platform (go-live April 2024),

we have started to include GHG emissions metrics in

quarterly board-level reporting in FY25.

Currently, climate-related performance metrics are not

incorporated in Rakon’s remuneration policies. We expect to

review the business imperative for inclusion of appropriate

climate-related performance metrics in remuneration policies

as we build Rakon’s maturity in this space.

MANAGEMENT’S ROLE

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is responsible for managing

operational climate-related risks and opportunities on a

day-to-day basis.

Where key operational climate-related risks and opportunities

are identified via Rakon’s ISO14001 Environmental

Management System processes (assessment carried out on

an annual basis in that respect), their review and assessment

are delegated to the senior management team who consider

whether appropriate risk management actions are being

taken. Climate-related risks that meet Key risk status (and

related opportunities) are reported by senior management

to the Audit and Risk Committee twice per year.

The senior management team consists of the CEO,

Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General

Counsel and Company Secretary, Chief Innovation Officer,

Executive GM Strategy and Growth, GM Global People

and Capability, Managing Director – Rakon India,

Managing Director – Aerospace and Defence and

Managing Director – Commercial.

07

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Strategy
Disclosure objective for the Strategy section – to enable

primary users to understand how climate change is

currently impacting Rakon and how it may do so in the

future. This includes:

• the scenario analysis Rakon has undertaken;

• the climate-related risks and opportunities Rakon

has identified;

• the anticipated impacts and financial impacts of

these; and

• how Rakon will position itself as the global

and domestic economy transitions towards

a low-emissions, climate-resilient future.

Climate-related risks and opportunities – an introduction

Climate-related risks typically fall into two categories:

• Physical risks – driven by the physical impacts

of climate change and associated environmental

degradation They can be split between:

–Acute – event driven, e.g., increasing severity of

extreme weather; and

–Chronic – due to longer term shifts in climate patterns,

e.g., sea level rise; and

• Transition risks – driven by the transition to a low-carbon,

more climate-friendly economy and associated uncertainties,

e.g., changes to government regulation and policy.

Climate-related opportunities relate to efforts to mitigate and

adapt to climate change.

The TCFD identified the following categories of opportunities

(not mutually exclusive):

Opportunity TypeExample opportunity drivers

Resource efficiencyMore efficient transport

More efficient buildings

Energy sourceUse of lower emissions sources

of energy

Use of new technologies

Products and

services

Develop low emissions services

Diversify business activities

MarketsAccess to new and emerging markets

ResilienceResource substitutes / diversification

(Refer to the Overview of the TCFD at: https://www.fsb-tcfd.

org/publications/)

The Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures

(TCFD) was an international organisation that was created

to develop recommendations on the types of information

that companies should disclose to support investors,

lenders, and insurance underwriters in appropriately

assessing and pricing risks related to climate change.

The XRB based NZ CS on the recommendations of the

TCFD. The TCFD released its climate-related financial

disclosure recommendations in 2017 and disbanded in

2023, having fulfilled its remit (https://www.fsb-tcfd.org).

CURRENT CLIMATE-RELATED IMPACTS

In FY25, Rakon has not experienced any material current

climate-related physical or transition impacts and no

associated material financial impacts. Our supply chain was

not subject to any material climate-related physical impacts

during FY25. We have incurred some transition costs, for

example costs in relation to the creation of this Statement

and assurance of GHG emissions disclosures within it,

but those costs were not material.

08

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

RAKON’S SCENARIO ANALYSIS
At Rakon we use climate scenario analysis to support our

preparedness for climate change by better understanding

the potential physical and transition impacts. The goal of

our scenario analysis is to be prepared for what realistically

may occur and therefore promote resilience under plausible

future states. This analysis is used as a guide for strategic

and risk-related decisions and in the future will be used as

input to investment decisions.

Climate-related scenarios are plausible, challenging

descriptions of how the future may unfold. These

descriptions are based on coherent and internally

consistent sets of assumptions about the drivers of

future physical and transition risk and opportunity

(and the relationships between them) (www.xrb.govt.nz).

We continue to build our capability in scenario analysis.

Scenario analysis is currently being conducted as a standalone

exercise with input from several teams within the business.

The Board has noted the scenario narratives and outputs.

The scenario analysis project team reports to the General

Counsel and Company Secretary. We intend to increase

engagement with internal stakeholders in future as we

continue to build Rakon’s capability in this area.

The scope of Rakon’s scenario analysis was set by asking

the following focal question:

• ‘How could climate change plausibly affect our business

model and strategy through creating risks and opportunities?’

Key reasons for selecting the toolkit were:

• CDP is a well-established and respected provider in the

sustainability arena and has partnered with GeSI to deliver

this toolkit for the specific purpose of enabling entities like

Rakon to develop scenario analysis; and

• Purchase of the scenario analysis toolkit enabled Rakon to

access climate risks and opportunities disclosed by Rakon’s

global peers at sector level, providing our team with a good

starting point and comparison for its own analysis.

External factors which are variable and influence the direction

of change are referred to as driving forces of specific risks and

opportunities in a particular scenario. These forces were

identified as differing scenario parameters and assumptions

for each scenario. See Appendix 1 of this Statement for

further details.

An overview of each scenario we have used for our analysis

is set out on the next page:

We concluded that a sector-level scenario analysis approach

was not feasible as there are few comparable CREs in NZ to

Rakon and the few comparable CREs have different business

models and focus on different markets and geographies.

Accordingly, we followed the TCFD’s six-step framework for

developing scenario analysis for evaluating climate-related

risks and opportunities (see section 2d at https://www.

tcfdhub.org/scenario-analysis/).

We have undertaken a global level scenario analysis exercise

to support our assessment, using the GeSI-CDP Scenario

Analysis Toolkit as the underlying tool for our scenario analysis

process for three scenarios (https://www.gesi.org/wp-content/

uploads/2024/10/CLIMATE-SCENARIO-ANALYSIS-

FRAMEWORK-TCFD.pdf).

The GeSI-CDP Scenario Analysis Toolkit is a set of

resources that enables organisations to build the

foundations for the development of climate-related

scenario analysis in alignment with the recommendations

of the TCFD.

GeSI is a leading, cross-industry sustainability initiative

creating and enabling digital solutions to address society’s

most pressing challenges (www.gesi.org).

CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global

disclosure system for investors, companies, cities,

states and regions to manage their environmental

impacts (www.cdp.net).

Rapid

Transition

1.5°CRapid transition to a low carbon world, limiting temperature increase to 1.5°C. High degree of transformation across the economy. Some increase in physical

climate-related impacts but the worst physical impacts of climate change are avoided.

Based on the following reference scenarios:

• IPCC SSP1-1.9

• Supported by parameters from the IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario (2023) where required.

• IPCC timeframe to 2100, IEA timeframe to 2050.

Status Quo2.7°CA middle of the road scenario in which the world follows a path in which social, economic, and technological trends do not shift markedly from historical patterns

until close to mid-century. Some emissions reductions occur in line with stated policies, but those reductions do not prevent wide ranging acute and chronic physical

climate impacts.

Based on the following reference scenarios:

• IPCC SSP2-4.5

• Supported by parameters from the IEA Stated Policies scenario (2023) where required (although this is a slightly lower emissions scenario, leading to a c. 2.4°C

temperature increase

)

• IPCC timeframe to 2100, IEA timeframe to 2050.

Limited

action

4.4°CLimited action towards a low carbon global economy and lack of coordination result in high emissions and a resulting temperature increase of more than 4 ̊C. There is

minimal political and social traction towards decarbonisation despite increasing levels of environmental, economic and social degradation. Significant disruption

globally due to catastrophic physical climate impacts from around mid-century.

• Based on the following reference scenarios:

• IPCC SSP5-8.5

• IPCC timeframe to 2100.

Reference scenarios

We have used international reference scenarios to inform Rakon’s scenario analysis.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a body of the United Nations. Its job is to advance scientific knowledge

about climate change caused by human activities. The IPCC has created reference scenarios that are widely used to understand

the potential future impacts of climate change (www.ipcc.ch).

The IPCC’s sixth assessment reporting cycle provided SSP-RCP (‘SSPX-Y’) scenarios based on the Shared Socio-economic

Pathways (SSPs), and partly informed by relevant Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios. SSP scenarios

indicate different socioeconomic global changes over this century. RCP scenarios indicate different greenhouse gas concentrations

in the atmosphere through this century.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an autonomous intergovernmental organisation that works with countries around the

world to shape energy policies for a secure and sustainable future. The IEA has created reference scenarios that focus on future

energy usage (www.iea.org).

Key reasons for selecting these reference climate scenarios

for use by Rakon were:

• reference sources for the scenarios are internationally

recognised and widely used for this purpose;

• as a Climate Reporting Entity with a global footprint,

it is appropriate for Rakon to use scenarios that have

international relevance and coverage;

• the selected scenarios and associated temperature

increases meet the XRB’s requirements for scenarios

as set out in NZ CS1, i.e., at a minimum, a 1.5 degrees

Celsius climate-related scenario, a 3 degrees Celsius

or greater climate-related scenario, and a third

climate-related scenario; and

• the selected scenarios have time horizons that cover

the time horizons chosen by Rakon.

The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and

Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 requires:

• listed companies with a market capitalisation of

more than $60m; and

• large registered banks, licensed insurers, credit unions,

building societies, and managers of investment schemes

(large meaning with more than $1bn in assets)

to make climate-related disclosures from financial years

starting on or after 1 January 2023. The organisations

are known as Climate Reporting Entities.

11

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

RAKON’S CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS
AND OPPORTUNITIES

We have undertaken a global level exercise to identify

climate-related risks and opportunities and assess their

anticipated impact on our business, using the scenario

analysis approach (including time horizons) outlined

above, supported by sector level data sourced from CDP.

Our process included engagement with a cross-section

of internal teams for review of the initial assessment output

and subsequent update of the assessment for feedback

received. The scenarios are:

• Rapid Transition

• Status Quo

• Limited Climate Action

The risks and opportunities disclosed in this section are those

considered to have a material anticipated impact on Rakon

for the stated scenario.

The material anticipated impacts are assessed prior to the

implementation of the identified strategies for mitigation

shown in the following tables for each scenario. Although

likelihood is a standard part of risk assessment at Rakon,

for this scenario analysis-driven exercise we have treated

impacts as either occurring or not occurring under a given

scenario. A material impact is one that reaches a Medium,

Medium-High or High consequence level under Rakon’s

updated standard risk assessment approach (please refer

to the Risk Management section of this Statement for an

overview of this).

The following tables set out our current assessment of the climate-related risks by scenario that Rakon faces that are considered

to have a material anticipated impact. Associated opportunities for those risks are also shown below each table. In each case,

we would need to take action to be able to benefit from the climate-related opportunities.

This assessment should be read in conjunction with the climate data limitations section of Appendix 3 and the caveats in the

Important Information note at the start of this Statement.

The general physical risks associated with climate change increase over the time horizons considered for this scenario, but we do

not expect the associated physical impacts to be material to Rakon by 2050 (long term time horizon).

Associated opportunities with a material anticipated impact on Rakon:

• Transition: use of lower emissions sources of energy to reduce costs, starting in the medium-term and onwards

• Transition: incremental increases in product revenues, starting in the medium-term and onwards, driven by:

–access to new markets

–development of lower emissions products

–development of new products and services through research and development and innovation

–shifts in customer preferences

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

These climatic variables showed changes from the baseline
(2005) defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report for the

following scenarios and time horizons:

Scenarios

SSP1-2.6 (slightly higher emissions than

the Rapid Transition scenario)

SSP2-4.5 (emissions per the Status Quo

scenario)

SSP5-8.5 (emissions per the Limited

Climate Action scenario)

Time horizons

2030 (Rakon’s medium term horizon)

2050 (Rakon’s long term horizon)

2070 (beyond Rakon’s long term horizon)

The output from the ClimSystems reports identified some

physical risks for Rakon’s locations (both acute and chronic)

associated with climate driven events. The only climatic

variable that features as a higher risk within Rakon’s

long-term time horizon is:

• Extreme precipitation (2 locations) – this is daily extreme

rainfall leading to hazards such as flooding that impacts

Rakon’s buildings and operations.

Consideration of local factors:

Part of achieving greater maturity in our approach to

managing climate-related risks is to include additional

consideration of local factors. In FY24 we started that

process by engaging ClimSystems to provide a climate-

related physical risk report for Rakon India’s manufacturing

facility in India. In FY25 we extended that exercise to consider

Rakon’s operations in New Zealand, the UK, and at two Rakon

France sites in France, bringing the total number of assessed

locations to five. The reports cover environmental, chronic

and acute climatic variables, with some hazards and risks

assessed for the current day and others modelled under

future climate scenarios.

ClimSystems have been providing data on the

changing climate for over 20 years. Their climate risk

management services support asset owners globally

(www.climsystems.com).

As a result, we are prioritising further analysis of that variable

in those locations so we can identify appropriate actions.

The climatic variables that feature prominently as a higher risk

beyond Rakon’s long-term time horizon (in higher emissions

scenarios) are:

• Monthly precipitation (1 location) – changes in the patterns

of rainfall leading to water management issues that impact

Rakon’s operations

• Heatwave days (1 location) – increasing occurrence of

heatwave events that increase employee discomfort,

reduce productivity and increase operating costs to

maintain comfortable temperatures (coupled with higher

temperatures in general)

We are focusing our current work on extreme precipitation

and will turn next to building further understanding of

these variables.

Relationship to capital deployment and funding:

Climate-related risks and opportunities do not currently serve

as an input to Rakon’s internal capital deployment and funding

decision-making processes. This is a matter we expect to

address as we build our maturity in managing climate-related

risks and opportunities.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND FINANCIAL IMPACTS
In the previous section we have disclosed qualitative

information on anticipated impacts that we have assessed

as material to Rakon. We have elected to use adoption

provision 2 and accordingly have not disclosed anticipated

financial impacts.

TRANSITION PLAN ASPECTS OF

RAKON’S STRATEGY

Our business model and strategy:

Our strategic pillars are our key drivers of value and underpin

our planning, activities and how we measure performance.

They are:

• Customer partnerships;

• Technology innovation;

• Core markets (telecommunications / space and defence /

positioning); and

• Flexible, scalable operations – enabling efficient delivery.

These strategic pillars are critical to the creation of long-term

value, while providing the flexibility to explore emerging

opportunities and thrive.

This is shown in the strategic value chain diagram on the

next page.

15

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Figure 2: Rakon’s strategic value chainWe have assessed Rakon’s future
potential climate-related risks and

opportunities based on scenario

analysis for this business model

and strategic value chain out to

the long-term.

We have previously undertaken

a preliminary assessment of the

impact of climate change on

Rakon’s strategy focused on

our four strategic pillars.

The preliminary assessment

did not identify any significant

potential impacts of climate

change on the four strategic

pillars that would necessitate

material changes to Rakon’s

current business model and

strategy. While there may be

some challenges that our

assessment did not identify,

currently we consider that

Rakon is well-placed to tackle

challenges without significant

potential impacts. For example,

we believe that our continuing

focus on building flexibility

and resilience into Rakon’s

manufacturing operations and

supply chain provides a good

foundation for managing impacts

related to climate change.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Transition plan aspects of our strategy:
We have now completed our first Transition Plan, being our initial response to the identified material climate risks and

opportunities and our plan to build resilience to those risks and benefit from the opportunities. The key aspects of that plan are:

Key aspectElements

Expected

start*

Decarbonisation

of Rakon’s own

operations

Purchase of renewable power – to support the greening of the electricity grid, alongside initiatives

to improve efficiency of power usage (starting with a focus on Scope 2 for Rakon India )

FY25

Replacement of liquid CO₂ use in production processes – phasing in of liquid N₂ aligning with

customer quality procedure requirements (focus on Rakon India)

FY25

Leverage investment in sustainability management platform to drive local ownership – Cloud

platform facilitates local measurement and ownership

FY25

Establish GHG emissions targets (activity-based) for Scope 1 and 2 – to focus activity on what

matters (starting with Scope 2 for Rakon India in FY25)

FY25

Complete work to determine whether the agreements covering renewable power purchases by

Rakon India meet the criteria for recognition under the GHG Protocol’s market-based method

^

FY26

Decarbonisation

of Rakon’s

value chain

Measure value chain emissions outside Rakon’s own operations (Scope 3) – associated GHG

emissions are expected to be more significant than emissions from Rakon’s own operations

FY26

Key customer impact analysis – so that Rakon can better understand the transition challenges

faced by our key customers and play our part in helping them respond

FY27

Market opportunities analysis – so that Rakon can develop and implement plans for material

opportunities in new markets and growth in existing markets

FY27

Rakon’s own operations – take action in an appropriate timeframe to address material physical

risks identified

FY26

Rakon’s supply chain – engage with key suppliers to identify and address material physical risks

in the supply chain in an appropriate timeframe

FY26

The key aspects referenced here are taken from our first

transition plan, which we expect to review and update

as we build Rakon’s capability in relation to planning for

climate-related impacts on Rakon’s business. Therefore,

we expect there to be changes in the key aspects, the

associated elements and their activities as our approach

matures in the coming years. These key transition plan

aspects of our strategy are not currently aligned with our

internal capital deployment and funding decision-making

processes. This is something we will look to address as

we build our capability.

Rakon has started to take associated actions for the

above elements where they are feasible, for example,

the execution of short-term power purchase agreements

(PPA) for renewable power by Rakon India


to cover the

majority of its electricity needs for the second half of FY25

while longer term options are explored.

* although we have started or expect to start activities associated with

these elements in the noted financial year, most are likely to be

multi-year endeavours

^

the market-based method of GHG emissions measurement uses

contractual instruments (e.g., renewable energy certificates) which

reflect emissions from renewable electricity generation that

organisations have purposefully chosen

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Risk management
Disclosure objective for the Risk Management section

– to enable primary users to understand how Rakon’s

climate-related risks are identified, assessed, and managed

and how those processes are integrated into existing risk

management processes.

OUR PROCESSES FOR IDENTIFYING, ASSESSING

AND MANAGING CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS

The tools and methods we use:

Operational management of climate-related risks at Rakon

is covered by our ISO14001 Environmental Management

System processes. We support those ‘bottom-up’ processes by:

• using TCFD generic risk listings and sector specific listings

of risks from CDP to ensure that a wide range of potential

climate-related risks are identified for consideration;

• using a scenario analysis toolkit to support our assessment

of the anticipated impacts and time horizons of

climate-related risks under plausible climate futures; and

• using an adapted risk assessment matrix with specific time

horizons and the inclusion of three climate scenarios.

Rakon’s standard risk assessment matrix splits risks into

two levels:

1. Key risks; and

2. Non-key risks.

Risks are assessed in our standard approach based on the

size of the potential consequence of a risk and the likelihood

of the risk occurring. However, for the scenario analysis-driven

assessment of climate-related risks, we treat impacts as either

occurring or not occurring under a given scenario. As a result,

climate-related risks with a Medium, Medium-High or High

consequence assessment are those considered Key risks.

During FY25 we completed a review and update of our overall

risk management framework. The exercise included an update

of the consequence categories and the dollar ranges we use

for financial consequences. The dollar values used across all

financial consequences bands were increased to better reflect

financial materiality levels at Rakon. These changes meant, for

example, that the financial consequences required to meet a

‘High’ level in the standard risk assessment increased. We

have applied the changes to the assessment of climate-

related risks in FY25, resulting in a decrease in the number

of those risks being classed as Key risks as well as some

risks now meeting Key risk status at a later time horizon.

These changes support greater focus by the Board and

management on the smaller number of Key risks that remain.

Figure 3: Risk assessment – consequence categories

FinancialPeopleOperational

ReputationCompliance

Under our standard approach, Key risks are generally those

with a larger potential consequence and higher likelihood

of occurrence. A simplified version of this is shown in the

diagram on the next page.

Management of climate-related risks that are classed as

Key risks is guided by the strategies for mitigation identified as

part of the scenario analysis (see Strategy section). In addition,

other climate-related risks are managed within our ISO14001

Environmental Management System processes.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Rakon recognises the worsening physical impacts of
climate change beyond 2050 in higher emissions scenarios.

Accordingly, we consider potential physical impacts beyond

2050 as part of our consideration of local factors in assessing

climate-related risks (see page 14 within the Strategy section

for further details on this). This is an exercise we expect to

expand in future to consider other parts of the value chain

now that we have considered all Rakon key locations.

Management of climate-related risks at Rakon occurs

through the execution of risk reduction measures for

Key risks and the management of Non-key risks through

normal business processes.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Key risks are those assessed as being outside the Board’s
mandated risk appetite level for a given risk category under

our standard risk assessment approach. Rakon’s Board has

set a standard risk appetite level of ‘Medium’ for climate-

related risk. However, as noted earlier in this section,

under our scenario analysis driven risk assessment approach,

climate-related risks leading to impacts with a Medium,

Medium-High or Very High consequence assessment

for a particular scenario and time horizon are those

considered Key risks.

Value chain exclusions:

Rakon’s climate-related risks have been identified and

assessed based on the strategic value chain shown in

Figure 2 (see the Strategy section of this Statement).

We have not excluded any part of that value chain from

the exercise.

However, we recognise that, as we build Rakon’s climate

change capability, we will gain a greater understanding of

our value chain and may uncover climate-related risks that

are not currently identified. For example, as we now intend

to measure material Scope 3 GHG Emissions in FY26,

there may be significant emission sources that we are

not currently aware of.

Frequency of assessment:

We review our assessment of climate-related risks annually

and whenever we update our climate scenario analysis.

Climate-related risks that are classed as Key risks are

reviewed at least every six months as part of reporting

on those risks to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Our processes for prioritising climate-related risks relative

to other types of risks:

Rakon seeks to ensure that climate-related risks assessed

as Key risks for any scenario are given sufficient priority for

action within wider risk management activity, despite the

occurrence of potential impacts of climate change typically

having a longer time horizon than other risks.

HOW OUR PROCESSES FOR IDENTIFYING,

ASSESSING, AND MANAGING CLIMATE-RELATED

RISKS ARE INTEGRATED INTO OUR OVERALL

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESSES

Currently there is some degree of integration of climate-

related risk processes into Rakon’s overall risk management

processes. For example, operational management of

climate-related risks at Rakon is covered by our ISO14001

Environmental Management System processes. As part of the

review and update of the overall risk management framework,

there is now further recognition of climate-related risks within

the following risk categories:

• Compliance

• Operational Continuity and Resilience

• External (factors outside of Rakon’s direct control)

However, we have further work to do on this integration.

We expect there to be further integration of climate-related

risk management processes within the overall framework as

we mature our approach to climate-related risk management.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Metrics & Targets
Disclosure objective for the Metrics and Targets section

– to enable primary users to understand how Rakon

measures and manages its climate-related risks and

opportunities and provide a basis upon which primary

users can compare Rakon with its sector or industry peers.

THE METRICS RELEVANT TO ALL ENTITIES

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (incl. intensity):

Rakon’s most relevant climate change metrics relate

to GHG emissions. Previously we reported to CDP

(since 2010 on a calendar year basis) and currently

measure our Scope 1 (Direct) and Scope 2 (Indirect Energy)

GHG emissions. Last year we changed the basis of our

GHG emissions measurement from a calendar year basis

to a financial year basis to meet the requirements of the

climate-related disclosures regime.

GHG emissionsSources

Scope 1CO₂ usage in production, leakage of air

conditioning refrigerants, fuel consumption

(LPG, natural gas, diesel, petrol)

Scope 2Electricity usage

Our latest global GHG emissions for the 2025 and 2024 financial years and calendar year 2022 (using the location-based method

and including intensity metrics) are shown in the tables and charts below:

A limited assurance engagement has been performed over FY25 Scope 1 emissions (tonnes CO₂e) and FY25 Scope 2 emissions

(tonnes CO₂e) by PwC. Other than as described as being subject to assurance, no other disclosures in this Climate Statement

have been included in the assurance engagement and are not covered by the limited assurance report issued. Please refer to

PwC’s report, included as Appendix 4 to this Statement which states the scope of PwC’s work and the parts of this Statement

to which its assurance applies.

In FY25 Rakon India procured renewable power (wind and solar) for approximately 39% of its electricity needs. We have

started the work to determine whether the agreements covering those purchases meet the criteria for recognition under the

GHG Protocol’s market-based method* for Scope 2 emissions. As that workstream is in progress as at the date of this Statement,

we have not disclosed emissions under the market-based method for FY25. We intend to complete that work for Rakon’s 2026

Climate Statement.

*Scope 2 GHG emissions measurement approaches:

• Location-based method – uses an emission factor calculated from all electricity delivered to the grid in a period; and

• Market-based method – uses contractual instruments (e.g. renewable energy certificates) which reflect emissions from

renewable electricity generation that organisations have purposefully chosen.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Analysis of main trends
Scope 1: The overall 29% reduction in Scope 1 GHG

emissions between FY24 and FY25 has been driven mainly

by a reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) use in production

processes at Rakon New Zealand (Rakon NZ) and Rakon

India, with lower production activity and replacement by liquid

nitrogen (N₂) use being the main contributors to that change.

Since calendar year 2022 there has been a 35% reduction

in Scope 1 GHG emissions with the same factors as noted

above being the key contributors.

Scope 2: The overall 19% reduction in Scope 2 GHG

emissions between FY24 and FY25 has been driven

mainly by lower production activity across Rakon sites.

There has also been a 19% reduction in Scope 2 GHG

emissions between 2022 and FY25, driven primarily by

the same factor as noted above.

Total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions have reduced by

24% from 2022 to FY25 including a 22% from FY24 to

FY25. Those changes were mainly driven by the factors

described above.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by country

Rakon India’s GHG emissions dominate Rakon’s overall

emissions, mainly due to grid carbon intensity being

significantly higher in India than in New Zealand for Rakon NZ

as a result of higher reliance on fossil fuels for grid electricity

generation. There has been only a marginal change in each

country’s share of GHG emissions since FY24.

Figure 5: Our Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by country Figure 4: Our Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions

(location-based method)

We have not reported Scope 3 (Other Indirect) GHG

emissions in this Statement as we have elected to use

adoption provision 4. We have started the process to

enable Rakon to measure those emissions.

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Emissions intensity metrics
Increases in Rakon’s emissions intensity metrics (tCO2e per

$m of revenue and tCO₂e per million units produced) between

2022 and FY25 reflect:

• The impact of changes in the mix of products produced/

sold. In 2022, production and sales included large high

volume one-off chip shortage contracts that required

production to run at high capacity. This was not repeated

in FY24 or FY25, leading to lower production volumes at

lower, less energy efficient capacity.

• The planned reduction in Rakon’s holding of units of

finished goods stock over FY24, leading to reduced

production volumes to meet demand; and

• Lower production and sales volumes in FY25 than the

two previous years due to the impact of the difficult

global economic environment.

Electricity consumption is relatively fixed for a given Rakon

facility regardless of the volume of production and is

influenced by the type of products we manufacture, and the

volumes required. As a result, we expect on-going variability

in these intensity measures and consider the absolute GHG

emissions measures (tonnes CO₂e) to be of more relevance.

We use a sustainability management software platform to

support us to measure and manage GHG emissions (and

other sustainability metrics). The platform facilitates the

collection of sustainability data across our operations

globally with local responsibility for measurement.

We expect this to lead to support greater local focus and

responsibility for achievement of sustainability outcomes.

Further disclosures in relation to GHG emissions

(subject to assurance):

GHG emissions measurement is often based on estimates

or proxy data and, as a result, does not provide a perfect view

of Rakon’s exposures or risks. GHG emissions quantification

is inherently uncertain due to the necessity to estimate and

apply judgements, and because of incomplete scientific

knowledge used to determine emission factors and the values

needed to combine emissions of different gases. Data quality

improvements are an on-going focus for Rakon, and any

outputs should be interpreted as approximate and not precise

(see Appendix 3 for further detail on data limitations).

Rakon’s GHG emissions have been measured in accordance

with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting

and Reporting Standard.

We have used the financial control GHG emissions

consolidation approach to set Rakon’s organisational

boundary for GHG emissions measurement purposes.

The current GHG Protocol guidance suggests leases that

have the characteristics of operating leases are reported

as Scope 3 Category 8 Upstream leased assets for reporting

entities with a financial control approach. However, consistent

with the principles of NZ IFRS 16 Leases and Rakon’s

application of it to capitalise lease assets in the statement of

financial position as a right of use asset, we have determined

that during the lease period, Rakon has the right to control the

use of the asset as well as the right to substantially all of the

related economic benefits and therefore we have included the

related emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2.

All emissions were calculated using emission factors and

Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) from:

• New Zealand – Ministry for the Environment – Measuring

Emissions Guidance – Detailed Guide – 2024

• United Kingdom – Department for Energy & Net Zero –

Conversion Factors Methodology – 2024

• France – Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) European

electricity factors – 2023

• India – Ministry of Power – CO₂ Baseline Database – 2024

• GHG Protocol - Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning

Equipment – Guidance on emissions factors – 2005

• Market Economics Limited, Consumption Emissions

Modelling, report prepared for Auckland Council – 2023.

100-year GWPs from the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment

Report (AR5) have been used as a preferred approach

where available.

For electricity usage in India, the emission factor used is

weighted average factor (grid emissions factor), calculated

using a mix of all grids and energy sources. The source data

23

referred to in Appendix 3 does not disclose the GWPs
associated with this emission factor. (See Appendix 3

for more details on emissions calculation methodology,

Amount or percentage of assets or business activities

vulnerable to transition risks:

A description of Rakon’s identified transition climate-related

risks and strategies for their mitigation can be found under

the ‘Rakon’s climate-related risks and opportunities’ heading

in the Strategy section of this Statement.

Our work on transition risks remains at an early stage and

we note that we have more work to do to further assess our

transition risks, including the consideration of our Scope 3

GHG emissions. As a result, we are unable to disclose a

measure for this metric at this time.

Amount or percentage of assets or business activities

vulnerable to physical risks:

Our work to consider Rakon’s physical climate-related risks

can be found under the ‘Rakon’s climate-related risks and

opportunities’ heading in the Strategy section of this

Statement. We consider such risks to be approaching a

material level in the long-term time horizon and increasing

thereafter in the higher emissions scenarios.

Our work on physical risks remains at an early stage and we

note that we have more work to do in that regard, including

further work on the local climate-related physical risk factors

we have identified for some Rakon locations and associated

impacts. As a result, we are unable to disclose a measure for

this metric at this time.

Amount or percentage of assets or business activities

aligned with climate-related opportunities:

The production process of a significant percentage of the

products manufactured in Rakon’s New Zealand factory has

switched from the use of CO₂ to N₂. The analytical work

necessary to ascertain the associated revenue for these

products separately has not been completed for FY25 due to

workforce focus on other priorities including activities related

to the transfer of the manufacture of certain New Zealand

product lines to Rakon’s operations in India. As a result, we

are unable to disclose a measure for this metric at this time.

Amount of capital expenditure, financing, or investment

deployed toward climate-related risks and opportunities:

There was a small amount of capital expenditure in FY25 on

the conversion of small-scale production processes from CO₂

to N₂ at Rakon India but it was not a material amount.

Internal emissions price and management remuneration:

Rakon has not currently implemented internal GHG emissions

pricing or linked management remuneration to climate-related

risks and opportunities. We expect to consider these

initiatives as we increase our maturity in this space.

INDUSTRY-BASED METRICS

At present we have not identified any industry-based metrics

relevant to our industry or business model that could be

used to measure and manage climate-related risks and

opportunities. We expect to consider industry-based metrics

as we increase our maturity in this space

24

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
There are no other key performance indicators used

by Rakon to measure and manage climate-related risks

and opportunities.

TARGETS USED TO MANAGE CLIMATE-RELATED

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

We measure our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and have

commenced initiatives focused on reducing those emissions.

However, due to Rakon’s production activities taking place

across a number of countries and potential changes in the

balance of those activities between countries and between

Rakon and its subcontractors in the coming years, there is

uncertainty in the potential emissions outcomes for Scope 2

in relation to electricity usage. In addition, the timing and/

practicality of the replacement of liquid carbon dioxide with

liquid nitrogen for production processes is subject to a range

of factors that need to be considered, impacting Scope 1

emissions outcomes. Together these two sources of GHG

emissions accounted for approximately 90% of total Scope 1

and 2 emissions in FY25.

That uncertainty makes it difficult to set numerical targets

for those emissions that Rakon can credibly stand behind.

Therefore, we have set initial interim Scope 2 targets based

on expected activities for Rakon India.

Rakon India Scope 2 emissions (65% of Rakon’s total Scope 1 and 2 emissions in FY25)

Scope 2 target for Rakon India is to procure an increasing percentage of electricity from renewable sources, with the following

initial interim targets:

• For FY26, complete the assessment for recognition of renewable power purchases under the market-based method

of measurement

• For FY26, 50% of electricity to be procured from renewable sources

• For FY27, 65% of electricity to be procured from renewable sources

• For FY28, 75% of electricity to be procured from renewable sources

These targets are neither absolute nor intensity targets and do not rely on the use of offsets.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has previously set the following minimum acceptable thresholds for renewable

electricity procurement between 2025 and 2030 (using the market-based method of measurement), noting that targets at

this ambition level are consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C (i.e., they align with the goals of the Paris Agreement*):

Renewable electricity procurement share

(% of scope 2 electricity that is renewable)

80%84%88%92%96%100%

Rakon’s initial interim targets do not meet SBTi requirements as shown above because they do not extend to 2030 (for an interim

target), do not apply to all Rakon operations, and the percentage of renewable power purchased is below the required level for

the selected years. Therefore, our targets do not align with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. We note that the SBTi is currently

considering feedback received on a draft standard which includes an update of Scope 2 emissions target requirements and is

expected to supersede the thresholds noted above.

the Paris Agreement.

Scope 1 targets for Rakon India and Scope 1 and 2 targets

for other Rakon key locations (New Zealand, France, UK)

(35% of Rakon’s global emissions in FY25)

We expect to review the above initial interim targets and to

consider GHG emissions interim targets for Scope 1 emissions

for Rakon India and for Scope 1 and 2 emissions for other

Rakon key locations in FY26.

Our other focus area in FY26 will be Scope 3 emissions

measurement. Therefore, we are not currently able to consider

Scope 3 emissions targets but expect to be able to do so

following the completion of that work. We expect that our

initial targets for Scope 3 emissions will relate to actions,

such as engagement with key suppliers.

APPENDIX 1: SCENARIO PARAMETERS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Scenario Parameters &

Assumptions

Rapid transition to a low carbon world, limiting

temperature increase to 1.5°C. High degree of

transformation across the economy.

A status quo, middle of the road scenario in which

the world follows a path in which social, economic,

and technological trends do not shift markedly

from historical patterns until close to mid-century.

Resulting temperature increase of c. 2.7°C

Limited action towards a low carbon global

economy and lack of coordination result in

high emissions and a resulting temperature

increase of c. 4.4 ̊C.

Scenario

Description

Emissions levelsGlobal emissions decline to around 22 GtCO₂e

per annum by 2030, reaching net zero by ~2050.

The second half of the century is characterised by

net negative CO₂e emissions, implying the use of

carbon dioxide removals such as negative

emissions technology

Global emissions peak at around 42 GtCO₂e

per annum by 2040, are falling by 2050 but

fail to reach net zero by 2100

Global emissions continue to rise, reaching

around 83 GtCO₂e per annum by 2050,

continuing to rise until very late in the century

Physical impacts Increase in physical climate-related impacts

such as increased extreme temperatures,

increased heavy precipitation, increased

droughts. Worst impacts avoided

Extreme weather events become increasingly

damaging. Signs of climate instability globally.

Increasing risk to human health

Catastrophic climate-related impacts result

in severe damage, displacement and

economic instability

The warming over the next few decades is largely already determined by past emissions & inertia in the climate system, so whilst there is limited divergence

of physical impacts between scenarios up to 2050, the 2nd half of the century is when the physical impact differences between scenarios become much

more apparent

Global policy

response

Policy coordination. All regions demonstrate

strong leadership in reducing emissions

Global and national institutions work toward

but make slow progress in achieving sustainable

development goals, including emissions reductions

Lack of robust action to reduce emissions,

fossil fuelled development continues,

minimal environmental policy

Technological

impacts

Technology disruptions required to drive the

transition. New markets created for energy

efficient and zero emission products and services

Uneven and delayed transition drives some

technology disruption but that is limited until

a later wave of disruption, driven by increasing

physical impacts

Minimal demand for low-emissions goods

and services. Increasing physical impacts

drive technology uptake for adaptation in

the longer term

Forestry and

Afforestation

There is a pervasive expansion of land under

forestry from the late 2030s. This increases by

around 300 million hectares from that time by the

end of the century. These changes are the result

of dedicated measures to reduce deforestation

and encourage afforestation and reforestation

activities (IPCC)

Deforestation continues to occur up to around

2050. The global loss of land under forestry does

not exceed 100 million hectares of land by that

time. After that there is a modest increase of land

under forestry by the end of the century. These

changes reflect a reduction and eventual

elimination of deforestation, with some

afforestation, but supportive measures are not

effective until the 2nd half of the century (IPCC)

Deforestation continues to occur up to about

2060 and the global loss of land under forestry

exceeds 200 million hectares of land by then.

After that there is a modest increase of land

under forestry by the end of the century. This is

driven by an eventual elimination of deforestation,

not by mitigation-induced afforestation (IPCC)

Solar PV capacity additions reach 820 GW by

2030 and the same level is achieved by 2050 (was

in 2022) (all above are per annum and per WEO).

Solar PV capacity additions reach 500 GW by

2030 and 580 by 2050 (was 220GW in 2022).

RAKON / CLIMATE STATEMENT / 2025

Scenario nameNarrative
Rapid

Transition

Collective global climate action is taken from the short term in this scenario and the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement are met.

Governments worldwide move forward simultaneously towards a low carbon economy. Carbon prices rise steadily and significantly in the short term and onwards, adding

costs to all industries, especially higher emitting ones. Regulations promoting low carbon products, services and operations are strengthened. For example, increases in the

size and scope of carbon border taxes. These changes promote low-carbon producers and drive customer behaviour change substantially. End consumers are well aware of

the need to decarbonise the economy and so expect products and services to have low carbon emissions associated with them. Similarly, businesses and other organisations

are expected to reduce their emissions in line with global carbon net zero by 2050. This flows through the global economy, impacting all industries. From the short term

onwards, technology is steadily but quickly developed to mitigate emissions. For example, electrification of transport and industry happens at pace whilst carbon capture

and sequestration becomes a viable option. Global electricity generation moves towards fully renewable sources as fossil fuels are gradually phased out to be replaced by

these low emissions technologies. Resilience measures also benefit from technology development, which also support adaptation initiatives.

As a result of this coordinated and timely action around the world to curb GHG emissions, annual emissions decline to 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 globally, preventing

the worst predicted physical impacts of climate change and their impact on GDP.

Status QuoWorldwide, action to decarbonise is limited at first and fossil fuels continue to dominate energy use until near to mid-century.

In some countries, decarbonisation occurs in line with stated policies, but the overall emissions impact is minimal. There is limited development of low emissions technologies

which limits the possible transition until near to mid-century. Global emissions per annum continue to increase in the short and medium term, peaking in about 2040 before

they start to decline.

The global transition commences between the medium and long terms, driven by the clear physical effects of climate change and awareness of its harmful consequences

to society, the economy and the environment. From this time global carbon prices increase and there is widespread adoption of low emissions technologies. Those changes

cannot prevent more acute and chronic physical climate impacts occurring from the long term onwards. Those impacts negatively affect GDP.

Limited

Climate Action

There is minimal action across all time horizons towards a low carbon global transition, with minimal low carbon regulations and carbon pricing remaining ineffectually low.

This leads to little behaviour change, coupled with a lack of technology development and uptake. Fossil fuel use continues increasing as does mass consumption. Actions

are driven by cost-saving concerns rather than a change in societal expectations and behaviour. Renewable electricity grows globally but that growth is not significant.

There are increasing levels of social, economic and environmental degradation caused by the significantly worsening climate by the long term but there is minimal shift in

social and political traction towards a low emissions future.

The combined impact of the above pushes annual emissions higher until very late in the 21st century. This leads to significant materialisation of acute and chronic physical

risks globally, especially after 2050. Between the medium and long terms, this sees some increase in severity of extreme weather, accompanied by rising sea levels beyond

the long term that drive high physical risk. As these risks materialise, they increasingly impact GDP negatively.

GHG emissions measurement methodology, limitations,

assumptions and uncertainty (subject to assurance)

The calculation methodology we have used to quantify the

emissions inventory is based on the following calculation

approach below (unless otherwise stated):

Emissions = activity data x emissions factor

Activity data is derived from reports, invoices and data from

the relevant data source/supplier and the most relevant and

recent emission factors available are applied to calculate

the emissions.

Where applicable, unit conversion methods were also applied

when processing activity data that could not be used directly

to calculate emissions, e.g., to calculate emissions from spend

on fuel for vehicles where litres of fuel purchased was not

available. Where activity data was not available in some

key locations, we used assumptions to estimate emissions,

e.g., for some locations we used floor area of buildings and

national data on air conditioning refrigerant usage and leakage

to calculate emissions from leakage of refrigerant. The emissions

calculated from these emissions sources were not material

to Rakon’s total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for FY25.

Uncertainty has been calculated through using estimates

of uncertainty, using both the data completeness category

and the emission factors themselves. The uncertainty values

have been assessed in accordance with Greenhouse Gas

Protocol guidance.

There are systems and procedures in place that will ensure

applied quantification methodologies will continue in future

GHG emissions inventories.

Subsequent events for GHG emissions measurement

(subject to assurance)

We have checked for available updates of the emission factors

we used for FY25 emissions measurement as required by our

policy on updates to emission factors that are made available

between the end of a reporting period and the issuance of

reporting for that period. We concluded that, in accordance

with the policy, no updates to reported emissions or disclosures

of potential adjustments were required as the potential

adjustments for available updated emission factors since

31 March 2025 were not material.

Climate data limitations

Climate change is an evolving challenge, with high levels

of uncertainty; climate data is subject to the uncertainties

of scientific and technical research. It is important to have an

understanding of the uncertainties and limitations inherent

to climate projections and modelling when considering the

information in this Statement.

Climate change science is currently unable to accurately

forecast how the future impacts of climate change will affect

the environment, economy or society. In addition, the wide

range of variables that will influence global GHG emissions

trajectories cannot be predicted with certainty. Rakon is

committed to progressing its response to climate-related risks

and opportunities over time but is constrained by the novel

and developing nature of this subject matter.

The evolution of climate change science and associated

datasets is constant, and climate scenario analysis uses

the best information available at the relevant time. However,

the underlying datasets and assumptions, on which climate

models are built, may not be reliable.

We have prepared the information in this report based on our

current knowledge and understanding. However, as a result of

the limitations noted here, our estimates of the potential impacts

of climate change on Rakon involve a high degree of uncertainty.

Other matter - comparative information

The comparative GHG Disclosures (that is, GHG Disclosures for the year ended 31 March 2024 and for the calendar year ended 31 December

2022) have not been subject to assurance. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance conclusion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the GHG Disclosures in

accordance with NZ CSs. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation

of GHG Disclosures that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Uncertainty in preparing GHG Disclosures

As discussed on page 23 of the Climate Statement, the GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete scientific

knowledge used to determine emissions factors and the values needed to combine emissions of different gases.

Our independence and quality management

This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Assurance Engagements 1 Assurance Engagements

over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures, issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB) (NZ SAE 1). NZ SAE 1 is founded on the

fundamental principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

We have also complied with the following professional and ethical standards and accreditation body requirements:

● Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand);

● Professional and Ethical Standard 3: Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other

Assurance or Related Services Engagements; and

● Professional and Ethical Standard 4: Engagement Quality Reviews.

In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm also provides audit, other assurance, and agreed-upon procedures. Our firm carried

out other assignments relating to providing access to training material through an on-line platform. The firm has no other relationship with, or

interests in, the Group.

Assurance practitioner’s responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the GHG Disclosures based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have

obtained. NZ SAE 1 requires us to plan and perform the engagement to obtain the intended level of assurance about whether anything has come

to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are not fairly presented and are not prepared, in all material respects, in

accordance NZ CSs, whether due to fraud or error, and to report our conclusion to the Directors of the Company.

As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG Disclosures prepared by management, we are not permitted to be involved in

the preparation of the GHG information as doing so may compromise our independence.


PwC 3

Summary of work performed

Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse

Gas Emissions. This involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the

GHG Disclosures, assessing the risks of material misstatement of the GHG Disclosures whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed

risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall presentation of the GHG Disclosures.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment

procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included enquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection

of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling

with underlying records. In undertaking our limited assurance engagement on the GHG Disclosures, we:

● Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the

preparation of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their

implementation;

● Evaluated whether the Group’s methods for developing estimates are appropriate and had been consistently applied. Our procedures did not

include testing the data on which the estimates are based or separately developing our own estimates against which to evaluate the Group’s

estimates;

● Tested a limited number of items to, or from, supporting records, as appropriate;

● Assessed all of in-scope emission factor sources and reperformed emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;

● Inspected the Group’s vehicle asset register and performed a keyword search related to fugitive emissions against its expense general ledgers

and performed a site visit to Rakon India to assess the completeness of the reported emissions;

● Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by comparing the expected GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted and

made enquiries of management to obtain explanations for any significant differences we identified; and

● Assessed the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable

assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the

assurance that would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement and does not enable us to obtain assurance

that we would become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might identify. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance

opinion on these GHG Disclosures.

Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse

Gas Emissions. This involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the

GHG Disclosures, assessing the risks of material misstatement of the GHG Disclosures whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed

risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall presentation of the GHG Disclosures.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment

procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included enquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection

of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling

with underlying records. In undertaking our limited assurance engagement on the GHG Disclosures, we:

● Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the

preparation of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their

implementation;

● Evaluated whether the Group’s methods for developing estimates are appropriate and had been consistently applied. Our procedures did not

include testing the data on which the estimates are based or separately developing our own estimates against which to evaluate the Group’s

estimates;

● Tested a limited number of items to, or from, supporting records, as appropriate;

● Assessed all of in-scope emission factor sources and reperformed emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;

● Inspected the Group’s vehicle asset register and performed a keyword search related to fugitive emissions against its expense general ledgers

and performed a site visit to Rakon India to assess the completeness of the reported emissions;

● Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by comparing the expected GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted and

made enquiries of management to obtain explanations for any significant differences we identified; and

● Assessed the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable

assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the

assurance that would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement and does not enable us to obtain assurance

that we would become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might identify. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance

opinion on these GHG Disclosures.
