4 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
At Fletcher Building, we recognise that climate change is
one of the defining challenges of our time. Our impact
extends beyond our own operations, as our products and
decisions shape the built environment for generations.
This brings an opportunity - to reduce emissions and
enable lower-carbon choices for our customers and
communities. Over the past year, we have made progress
in aligning our strategy with a low-carbon future. Central
to this is our science-based decarbonisation pathway,
which sets clear and measurable targets for reducing
emissions. We remain committed to reducing our Scope 1
and 2 emissions by 30% against a FY18 baseline by 2030
and to achieving Net Zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by
2050. Meeting these goals will require regulatory certainty
particularly in respect of sustained investment, disciplined
execution and collaboration across our value chain.
In FY25, we advanced several key initiatives. In our cement
and concrete operations, where emissions are most
material, we have invested in alternative fuels, clinker
substitution and product innovation to lower embodied
carbon. We are expanding the availability of lower-carbon
concrete solutions and working closely with industry
partners to accelerate uptake. Our energy transition
programme is reducing reliance on fossil fuels, with an
increasing share of renewable electricity across our sites.
The greatest opportunity lies in the products we produce
and provide. By embedding sustainability into product
design and expanding our range of certified lower-carbon
materials, we enable builders, architects and developers to
make climate-positive choices. We believe long-term value
will come from solutions that support both resilience and
affordability in the built environment.
We are acutely aware of the transition risks and
opportunities that lie ahead. Regulatory uncertainty,
particularly around the New Zealand Emissions Trading
Scheme, presents challenges for our decarbonisation
investments. Market shifts towards low-carbon products,
energy availability and supply chain resilience are all critical
factors influencing our strategy. We continue to engage
with government, industry peers, iwi, our supply chain
and research partners to accelerate systemic change and
enable our business to remain resilient and competitive.
Transparency and accountability remain core to
our approach. These Climate Statements follow the
recommendations of the International Sustainability
Standards Board (ISSB) and Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD), providing investors and
stakeholders with a clear view of our risks, opportunities
and progress.
We are proud of the progress made to date and equally
mindful of the work still ahead. On behalf of the Board
and Executive team, we thank our people, customers and
partners for their ongoing support.

Our Governance of Climate-related Risks and Opportunities
Board oversight of climate-related
risks and opportunities
The role of the Fletcher Building’s Board of Directors (the
Board) is to provide overall strategic guidance and effective
oversight of management for the purposes of protecting
and enhancing the value of Fletcher Building assets in the
best interests of the Group. The Board is responsible for
oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities. This
includes oversight of the identification of key financial and
non-financial risks and overseeing the Group’s commitment
to sustainable development, the environment and the community.
The Board’s roles and responsibilities are formalised in a
Board Charter, which is available on the Group’s website.
The Board Charter sets out those powers and functions
that may be delegated to management and those that are
reserved for the Board and Board sub-Committees. Where
climate-related matters are material to the Group, they are
presented to the Board for consideration. In FY25, reporting
was provided related to the Science-based Targets Initiative
and for the Golden Bay® regulatory uncertainty and
investment strategy. The Board also receives and discusses
reports from the relevant sub-Committees.
The role of the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) is to
oversee the Group’s overall Risk Management Framework,
including climate-related risks. This involves overseeing the
mechanisms and internal controls that identify, monitor and
manage the material financial, operational and emerging
risks and approve public disclosures of matters relating to
its area of responsibility.
The role of the Safety, Health, Environment and
Sustainability Committee (SHES) is to support the Board
on strategies related to environmental and sustainability
matters. This includes having responsibility for overseeing
the Group’s strategies, policies, governance and
performance in relation to the environment, monitoring
compliance with environmental- and sustainability-related
requirements, and monitoring developments in climate
science and key climate change developments.
Board skills and competence
The Board has expanded its climate-related expertise
through targeted education sessions. In April 2024, the
Board participated in an externally facilitated in-depth
exploration of regulatory, legal and practical aspects of
current and forecast climate-related risks and opportunities.
The Board seeks and receives internal and external advice
related to climate-related risks as required. Ongoing
education, along with regulatory and market updates, are
provided to the ARC and SHES Committees. Additionally,
the Board’s climate capability is strengthened through
individual directors’ experiences on boards of other climate
reporting entities, and through participation in professional
director networks such as Chapter Zero New Zealand, which
supports governance capability on climate-related matters.
The Board has adopted a skills matrix which, since FY23,
has assessed the extent to which ‘environmental, social and
governance’ skills and experience is represented among
the directors. The current Board Skills Matrix is available at
https://fletcherbuilding.com/investor-centre/
corporate-governance.
Management role in assessing and
managing climate-related risks and
opportunities
The Executive team is responsible for identifying, assessing
and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Supported by the Climate Reporting Working Group
(CRWG) members (see pages 9 to 10 for details of its roles
and responsibilities), the Executive team is responsible for
implementing the sustainability strategy within their teams
and respective business units. This includes the integration
of climate transition, mitigation plans and initiatives into
5-year divisional plans, and capital allocation reviews, which
are then considered, and may be discussed through the
Group’s annual budget planning processes and monthly
operational reviews where material.
The Executive team is also responsible for overseeing
whether business units are appropriately identifying,
assessing and monitoring climate-related risks and
opportunities in accordance with the Group’s Risk
Management Policy and Sustainability Policy, including
8 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
assessing the asset value or percentage exposed to
physical climate-related risks.
Divisional Chief Executives present their climate- and
sustainability-related strategies and performance to SHES
on a rotating basis every 18 months. These presentations
provide updates on key metrics, initiatives, challenges
and insights.
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Chief Safety
and Sustainability Officer (CSSO) have management
co-accountability for Fletcher Building’s annual
Climate Statements.
Fletcher Building’s Climate Statements are prepared by the
CRWG and reviewed by the members of the ARC and SHES
prior to being endorsed for approval by the Board.
All Divisional Chief Executives are required to provide
a long-term carbon reduction plan that supports
Fletcher Building’s 30% reduction in combined Scope 1
& 2 emissions by 2030 target, and identifies and costs
specific GHG reduction initiatives, including goals that
work towards achieving Net Zero by FY50.
In FY25, the Short-Term Incentives (STI) for Executives were
weighted 50% financial and 50% non-financial including
weighted goals for individual performance. These non-
financial goals are individually determined and may
include ESG goals where issues or matters are material
to the Group or division. For example, the Concrete Chief
Executive had a 5% goal related to the Golden Bay®’s
decarbonisation strategy.
Governance activities in FY25
Audit and Risk Committee (ARC)
The ARC met five times during FY25, with relevant
Executives present at all meetings to support discussion
of climate-related risks. Climate-related matters were
considered at three of these meetings:
• November 2024: management recommended pre-
assurance over climate-related disclosures;
• February 2025: management provided an update
on mandatory climate-related disclosures, the FY25
delivery plan for the Group’s Climate Statements and
regulatory developments; and
• May 2025: management presented the draft FY25 pro
forma Climate Statements incorporating pre-assurance
provider recommendations, together with updates
on key action plans scheduled for completion by
31 October 2025.
The ARC also reviewed a summary of the Group’s risks
under categories such as ‘Business Resilience’, ‘Supply
Chain’, ‘Environmental’ and ‘Regulatory and Legal’, presented
by the Group Risk function in November 2024 and May
2025. Climate-related risks and opportunities are managed
separately from this process; however, they are interlinked
with these categories and considered in that context. While
the ARC’s responsibilities include receiving annual updates
on the Group’s responsibilities under the Emissions Trading
Scheme (ETS) updates, none were provided to the ARC in
FY25, as this matter was reviewed directly by the Board,
particularly in relation to impacts on Golden Bay®.
Safety, Health, Environment and Sustainability
Committee (SHES)
The SHES met six times in FY25. Standard agenda items
include carbon emissions performance against targets, key
assumptions monitoring, progress on strategic items (e.g.,
manufacturing revenue from sustainably certified products
and waste diverted from landfill) as well as relevant
regulatory updates.
The standard quarterly SHES agenda includes updates
from a Divisional Chief Executive on their sustainability
performance and insights (this rotates so all divisions
are represented at least every 18 months). In FY25, the
following Divisions presented to the SHES: Residential and
Development, Concrete, Distribution and Construction.
In addition, two special SHES meetings were held. One in
August 2024 to review the ESG content for the FY24 Annual
Report; one in December 2024 to review and approve
planned updates to Fletcher Building’s Science-based
Targets. Both of these were then submitted to the Board
for endorsement.
People and Remuneration Committee (PREM)
PREM considered climate-related Executive remuneration
matters once during FY25, including setting STI targets
and reviewing Executive STI performance against climate
objectives. In August 2025, PREM approved the FY25
Remuneration Report for circulation to shareholders, which
included disclosure of climate-related STI outcomes.
9 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Climate Reporting Working Group (CRWG)
The CRWG is a cross-functional group comprising
representatives from Fletcher Building’s Insurance &
Treasury, Risk & Assurance, Governance, Sustainability,
Corporate Affairs and Finance & Performance teams.
During FY25, following updates to the operating model,
the CRWG continued to coordinate climate reporting
activities through regular cross-functional working
sessions and updates, rather than formally scheduled
meetings. Engagement increased in the lead-up to the
disclosure reporting period to seek alignment of activities
and reporting.
Due to operational model changes carried out during
FY25, the CRWG was unable to meet formally with the full
Executive team to inform, support decision-making and
monitor climate-related matters, relying instead on ad hoc
and informal communications. This is an area we plan
to strengthen in the coming year by formalising regular
catch-up sessions between the CRWG and the Executive
team. In practice, because the CRWG is comprised of
representatives from the Executive and Group functions,
its members inform and are informed by the activities of
those functions. Where a Group function has materials for
submission to the ARC or other Board sub-Committees
(e.g. the Group’s Risk Register presented to the ARC), those
materials were reviewed by the relevant Executives for that
function prior to submission. This evidences the interaction
between the CRWG and Executives, with each function
respectively engaging with the Executive in the preparation
and review of materials.
Flow to the Board
The outputs of the ARC, SHES and PREM were reported
to the Board after each Committee meeting. This
allows climate-related risks, opportunities, metrics and
remuneration matters to be considered at Committee
level and elevated for the Board’s oversight.
In May 2025, Golden Bay® provided an update directly
to the Board, addressing key questions raised at the
December 2024 Board meeting on its future operating
model in light of ETS policy settings. This update,
which covered decarbonisation progress, regulatory
developments and alternative operating pathways, was
consistent with the disclosures on Golden Bay® made
elsewhere in these Climate Statements.
In September 2025, the SHES approved the Group’s FY25
GHG emissions for inclusion in these Climate Statements.
A joint meeting of the SHES and ARC occurred in mid-
October 2025 to endorse these Climate Statements,
prior to submission to the Board for approval on 21
October 2025.

12 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
The Group’s climate strategy is aligned to Net Zero Scope
1 & 2 carbon emissions by 2050, supported by a near-
term target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30%
by 2030 against a FY18 baseline. This ambition is framed
within a science-based approach and is underpinned
by actions across operations, products and supply
chains. The Group continues to prioritise innovation,
with initiatives such as the development of lower-carbon
cement alternatives, energy-efficient housing and circular
economy solutions, including expanded waste reduction
and recycling activities. These efforts are complemented
by a commitment to transparent reporting and disclosure,
with annual measurement of progress against targets,
independent assurance of greenhouse gas inventories and
alignment to the recommendations of the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
The climate strategy acknowledges the need to address
both mitigation and adaptation. Alongside emissions
reduction initiatives, the Group performs a stand-alone
assessment of transition risks, such as carbon pricing,
regulatory change and evolving market expectations, and
of physical risks, including flooding, heat stress, extreme
weather events, longer-term exposure to sea-level rise,
water stress and wildfires/bushfires. These risks are
considered across multiple time horizons, informing the
consideration of required resilience in forward planning.
The integration of climate targets with the Group’s broader
sustainability objectives, including a focus on sustainably
certified products and diversion of waste from landfill
within the same timeframe, reflects the Group’s intention
to embed climate considerations throughout its business
model. These targets are also core to supporting our
progress on Scope 3 emissions.
A material challenge to this strategy and to the achievement
of our targets arises from ongoing uncertainty in the
regulatory environment, particularly in relation to the
New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). Recent
changes to NZ ETS legislation have created ambiguity
regarding the future level of free allocation of carbon
credits to emissions-intensive trade-exposed industries.
This uncertainty has direct implications for the Group’s
Golden Bay® business, New Zealand’s only domestic
cement manufacturer, which plays a critical role in national
supply resilience. While the Group remains committed to
decarbonising cement and concrete, the absence of stable
and predictable policy settings constrains the ability to
deploy the significant capital required for domestic low-
carbon manufacturing.
The Group recognises there are broader challenges in
the delivery of its climate strategy. Reducing Scope 3
emissions remains a complex undertaking, requiring
greater collaboration with suppliers and partners across
the value chain. While progress has been made in year-on-
year emissions reduction for emissions sources measured
and disclosed, the rate of reduction will need to accelerate
if the Group is to achieve its FY26 and 2030 milestones.
It should also be noted that the Group’s near-term 2030
target is based on absolute reductions in carbon emissions
rather than intensity-based measures. As such, the ability to
achieve targets is also sensitive to changes in production
volumes, which may increase as the Group seeks to
grow its businesses. This dynamic creates an additional
challenge in balancing growth aspirations with the delivery
of absolute emissions reductions. The success of the
Group’s strategy is also influenced by external factors,
including the cost and availability of new technologies,

renewable energy and the stability of climate and energy
policies in New Zealand and Australia. In the longer term,
the Group expects physical risks associated with climate
change to become more material. Ongoing adaptation
planning will therefore be required.
Fletcher Building is actively reviewing its portfolio and
strategic priorities. As part of this, announcements have
been made during FY25 and FY26 of the intention to sell
our Construction business and to undertake a strategic
review of the Residential and Development businesses. As
with any significant change to the business, if these give
rise to material divestments, they will result in a change to
the emissions and risk profile of the Group. Re-baselining
and updating our risks and plans will occur as part of the
annual financial cycle each year and be updated for any
divestments or other significant changes to the Group.
14 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Current climate-related physical and transitional
exposure and impacts
During the year, the Group observed a number of climate-related impacts but none
of these were financially material to the Group. In aggregate, the estimated impact of
physical and transition risk exposures was less than 5% of Group’s earnings before interest
and taxation and Significant Items (EBIT before Significant Items).
While currently not having a material financial impact, carbon pricing and changes in
regulations in New Zealand are potentially having the most significant impact on the
Group, with more moderate impacts seen in insurance premiums, and customer, supplier,
shareholder and competitor behaviour. Below is a summary of current impacts:
• Lower capital is being deployed by Golden Bay® to decarbonise its operations than
previously signalled, as a result of uncertainty introduced from recent changes to ETS
legislation in 2023, including the Climate Change Response (Late Payment Penalties
and Industrial Allocation) Amendment Act 2023, regarding future free allocation levels
which, in the Group’s view, disincentivise accelerated decarbonisation and increase
the possibility of emissions leakage.
• Higher fuel costs are being incurred due to the NZ ETS and other carbon pricing
mechanisms.
• Additional compliance costs in FY25 for annual Climate Statements required under
the New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS), including external assurance, scenario
analysis and disclosure reviews, plus internal resources. Further additional costs are
expected in FY26 when Fletcher Building Australia Pty Ltd begins reporting under the
Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, which have different requirements to the
NZ CS.
• Increased Group-wide insurance costs driven by climate-related risks such as property
damage and business interruption (the underlying impacts directly associated with
‘Climate’ are difficult to quantify and cannot be easily bifurcated from other drivers).
• Investment in initiatives that reduce emissions, improving energy efficiency and
increasing availability of lower-carbon products. Projects undertaken in FY25 have
contributed collectively to progress against our Carbon Reduction Roadmap and
our Science-based Targets, supporting the Group’s pathway to a 30% reduction
in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 (see Metric and Targets – Capital
Deployment below (page 42)).
Scenario analysis
In FY24, Fletcher Building assessed three climate scenarios based on the New Zealand Green
Building Council (NZGBC) ‘Climate Scenarios for the Construction and Property Sector’.
These were developed with participation from a wide range of industry and public sector
stakeholders, and Fletcher Building contributed through representation on the NZGBC
Leadership Group and Technical Working Group. The NZGBC scenarios were then reviewed
and agreed with the Board and Audit and Risk Committee for adoption by Fletcher Building.
FLETCHER BUILDING’S THREE CLIMATE SCENARIOS OVERVIEW
‘Orderly’
scenario (1.5°C)
Decarbonisation policies are enacted immediately and smoothly. Whole of life carbon
emission reductions requirements for buildings is at 90% by 2050. The data for this
scenario is sourced from downscaled NIWA projections from the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report (IPCC AR5) and is aligned to
Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 2.6. Once downscaled data for IPCC
AR6 is available, this scenario will align to Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) 1-1.9.
‘Disorderly’
scenario (<2°C)
Significant decarbonisation is delayed until 2030, leading to global warming being
limited by 2100. The sector faces high transition risks and costs after 2030 as entities
rush to decarbonise. The data for this scenario is sourced from downscaled NIWA
projections from IPCC AR5 and is aligned to RCP2.6. Once downscaled data for IPCC
AR6 is available, this scenario will align to SSP1-2.6.
‘Hot House
World’ scenario
(>3°C)
Global warming reaches more than 3 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
No further decarbonisation policies are enacted. Emissions continue to rise, and the
sector faces limited transition risk, but extreme physical risk. This scenario, and the
assessments in FY20 and FY22, align to RCP 8.5 and SSP3.
Please refer to Appendix C: Detailed climate scenarios and Appendix D: Data sources used for the three scenarios.
The three NZGBC climate scenarios adopted by Fletcher Building remain unchanged
in FY25. They continue to serve as stand-alone assessments, providing the basis
15 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
for identifying and integrating both physical and transition risks and
opportunities into Group, divisional and business unit risk reviews.
For FY25, Fletcher Building retained the 2024 scenario framings (‘Orderly’
(~1.5°C), ‘Disorderly’ (<2°C) and ‘Hot House World’ (>3°C)) and refined how
these scenarios are represented where model outputs were not available.
As part of the FY25 physical risk modelling, Marsh Advisory used these
scenarios to assess climate hazards across Fletcher Building’s material sites.
Due to limitations in model availability at a scale appropriate for asset-level
assessment (refer to Appendix E), the low-warming model run SSP1-2.6 was
not explicitly modelled. This absence is common in impact modelling, as
incremental changes in risk at lower levels of warming are often small relative
to baseline years, and modelling effort is typically prioritised elsewhere.
To address this, Marsh Advisory applied climate analogues
3
for SSP1-2.6
across the three reporting horizons (2030, 2050 and 2100). Where preferred
low-warming model runs (SSP1-2.6 / RCP2.6 or SSP1-1.9) were not available,
vendor model runs and years were used as analogues, selected based on
their similarity in absolute global mean surface temperature increase (relative
to pre-industrial, 1880–1900) for each reporting horizon. These analogue
years were chosen to align temporally with the reporting periods, minimising
transient-state mismatches. This approach preserves comparability of
the physical climate hazard results, while maintaining the socioeconomic
assumptions embedded in the proxy SSP (for example, SSP2 versus SSP1).
The ‘Orderly’ scenario is arguably no longer considered reasonable, given
that achieving a below -1.5°C pathway is increasingly viewed as unlikely.
However, that scenario is maintained for comparability with international
frameworks, alignment with regulatory guidance, and to assess the
resilience of Fletcher Building’s strategy against a more ambitious
decarbonisation pathway.
Climate-related physical and transition risks and
opportunities and anticipated impacts
Fletcher Building recognises that the transition to a low-carbon economy brings both material
risks and significant opportunities. The key climate-related risks and opportunities identified across
the Group, along with their anticipated impacts, are outlined below. In line with NZ CS 2 Adoption
Provision 2, we have not provided anticipated financial impacts for physical risks or transition risks and
opportunities.
Value chain limitations
Many of our suppliers and customers are at an early stage in their climate reporting journey. As a
result, our understanding of climate-related risks and opportunities across the full value chain is
limited and is dependent on the quality and availability of information accessible at this stage.
Scope considered
• Upstream: In FY25, our assessment focused on 27 critical supplier sites (highest spend and
criticality), including two Australian joint ventures where Fletcher Building has joint control. These
suppliers represent the most significant risks to continuity of raw materials and services for the
Group (e.g., cement inputs, timber, resins, plasterboard paper). Broader Tier 1 suppliers were not
individually assessed due to lower risk profiles and/or data limitations.
• Downstream: Risks and opportunities have been evaluated at the level of key customer segments
(residential, commercial and infrastructure). Assessing physical climate risks at an individual
customer level is not practicable due to variation in geography, end use and design. Accordingly,
these are considered more broadly in the context of the markets in which we operate.
• Operations: In FY25, all operational sites were considered for transition risks, while 177 sites
(representing ~92% of the Group’s Total Insured Value) were assessed for physical risks.
• Data and methodological constraints: Climate scenario modelling, emissions factors and
physical risk projections remain subject to evolving methodologies and data availability. Current
assessments represent best-effort estimates rather than precise forecasts.
3. A climate analogue refers to a model run from a different scenario or year that reflects a comparable level of global
warming (relative to pre-industrial 1880–1900) and is used as a practical proxy where preferred model runs are unavailable.
16 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Time horizons
Physical risk assessment: These time horizons were
selected because the construction and property sectors
in general, and our operations specifically, hold long-lived
assets that will be subject to the long-term impacts of
climate change. They are also aligned with the Group’s
business planning and asset management processes.
Short-term (Present – 2030)
The short-term horizon aligns with the 5-year business planning cycle,
including proposed capital deployment for decarbonisation initiatives.
Short-term (Present – 2030)
The short-term horizon is aligned to the Group’s 5-year planning
cycle and captures most of the period aligned to Fletcher Building’s
2030 SBT for GHG emissions reduction.
Long-term (2050 – 2100)
The long-term horizon broadly aligns to a 50-year asset lifetime for
significant physical assets.
Long-term (Beyond 2040)
We have noted any risks beyond two business planning cycles as
being in the long-term horizon.
Medium-term (2030 – 2050)
The medium-term horizon aligns with Fletcher Building’s ‘Net Zero by
2050’ strategic goal.
Medium-term (2030 – 2040)
The medium-term horizon aligns with two business planning cycles.

Physical risk assessment
Transition risk assessment
Transition risk assessment: For the transition risk
assessment, Fletcher Building used the same three
scenarios as for physical risks. The short-term horizon is the
same for both assessments. However, the medium-term
and long-term horizons for transition risk assessment are
shorter than the physical risk assessment. This is because
the nature of transition risks, which are policy, regulatory,
market, technology and reputational risks, means that there
is limited value (and very high uncertainty) in assessments
beyond one to two business planning cycles (approximately
5 to 10 years).
17 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
The Group expects to continue facing potential disruptions
from weather events and other climate-related hazards.
While individual events may materially affect Group assets
or operations in a given year, the current annualised average
exposure is not considered material at a Group level.
We have disclosed material climate-related risks and
opportunities, determined based on their potential
impact on overall Group earnings, expressed as an annual
average loss/benefit (i.e., expected average impact within
a 12-month period over time). This approach does not
capture the acute impact of rare, severe events (e.g., a
1-in-200-year flood), which could have a materially greater
impact in a given year. However, in our view, this approach
gives greater insight into the average anticipated risk
exposure and change in risk factors under the various
scenarios and time horizons specific to climate impacts.
This assessment is based on historic and recent modelling
of physical risks to our assets, as well as the impacts of
severe weather events experienced in FY23 and FY25. It
does not, however, extend to suppliers or customers.
During FY23, the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle
and the North Island floods in New Zealand were
consistent with the levels of exposure and loss
indicated by our historic scenario analysis for sites
identified as being at high or very high flood risk. The
impact amounted to $21 million for property damage
and direct remedial works. This included impairment
of property and plant, rectification of damage
and remediation of leased assets, and write-down
of inventory.
This impact was not material to the Group’s cash
flows in FY23. Additionally, in FY24, the Group
received insurance proceeds of $10 million relating
to those property damage losses and costs for direct
remedial works.
In FY25, the significant Queensland Floods in
Australia were assessed to have a non-material
business interruption impact on the Group.
Physical Risks and Opportunities

All to varying degrees
The impact to earnings of Group-wide supply chain risks
within a 12-month period, including the potential impact
from climate change, are assessed as ‘minor’ in our Group
Risk Framework (i.e., $7.5 million to $50 million earnings
impact). This year our supply chain risk focused on 27 key
supplier sites, including two Australian-based joint ventures.
The assessment only relates to our current exposure, not
to different scenarios or time horizons as this has not been
embedded into current processes.
Reliance on suppliers in climate-vulnerable regions may cause disruption and price volatility.
Natural hazards (including extreme heat, river flood, coastal flood and earthquakes) that may impact supplier sites and supply chain for
business units.
Major drivers of supply chain vulnerability include high natural hazard exposure and moderately high supplier concentration risk, particularly in
India, New Zealand, China and Taiwan. In many cases, these risks are underpinned by exposure to suppliers of suppliers (Tier 2 suppliers), rather
simply to our direct suppliers.
Key anticipated impacts:
• Expected delays or downtime in relation to critical raw materials supply/finished goods required for operations, impacting operational
recoveries and ability to meet customer orders.

• Separate analysis of risk to customers under different scenarios and time horizons has not been conducted. We have also not yet assessed the anticipated financial or operational impacts of this risk. Assessing the downstream implications
of climate change at an individual customer level is not practicable for our business. In particular, inferring physical climate risk exposure to customers (e.g., the resilience of their assets or construction projects to flooding, fire or extreme
weather events) is highly challenging, given the wide variation in end use and geography.
21 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Physical risk modelling
conducted in FY25
The FY25 physical climate risk assessment focused on 177 key
assets representing approximately 92% of Fletcher Building’s
Total Insured Value (TIV). Using downscaled Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) climate projections
and RMS Climate on Demand modelling, we assessed risk
exposures from heat stress, water stress, flooding, wildfires,
hurricanes and sea-level rise across multiple climate
scenarios and time horizons. To assess the potential impacts
of these risks over relevant time horizons, Fletcher Building,
in conjunction with Marsh Advisory, applied the NZGBC
scenarios to 177 of the Group’s 536 assets or sites across
Australia and New Zealand, comprising:
• Tier 1 assets: 67 sites accounting for approximately
77% of the Group’s Material Damage value and 73% of
Business Interruption value; and
• Tier 2 assets: 110 sites accounting for 16% of Material
Damage value and 18% of Business Interruption value.
Tier 3 assets, comprising 359 sites and accounting for 7%
of Material Damage value and 9% of Business Interruption
value, were not assessed.
This modelling is considered the most appropriate as it aligns
with the approach our insurers use to assess physical risk
exposure across our sites. As insurance cover for physical
risks represents the Group’s primary financial response to
such events, having consistency between our internal risk
assessment and insurer methodologies strengthens the link
between risk identification and risk transfer, with a focus on
sites most material to the business and business operations.
Across the scenarios, the analysis shows that:
• Short- and medium-term risk drivers: Water Stress
and Hurricanes/Typhoons remain the dominant risks
across the Group in the short- and medium-term
horizons under all scenarios, reflecting the current and
emerging vulnerabilities of our Australian and New
Zealand asset base to water availability constraints and
severe storm events.
• Long-term risk drivers: In the long-term horizon
(2050–2100), Heat Stress emerges as the dominant
physical risk driver under a ‘Hot House World’ scenario
(accounting for close to 60% of portfolio exposure
– we have determined exposure based on the
annualised average loss rate for sites assessed and
calculated the exposure percentages based on the
total TIV of sites exposed compared to the total TIV of
177 assets assessed) and the second most dominant
under a ‘Disorderly’ scenario, consistent with projected
rising temperature trends. Water Stress remains the
leading long-term risk under a ‘Disorderly’ scenario,
and the second most dominant under a ‘Hot House
World’ scenario highlighting the continued importance
of water security for our operations.
• Australia versus New Zealand exposure: Underlying
risks are different between Australia and New Zealand
under the scenarios, with the proportionate risks for
New Zealand sites significantly lower than for Australian
sites. In 2020, Australian operations represented
approximately 35% of the Group’s portfolio exposure,
rising to nearly 60% by 2100 under RCP 8.5. These
shifts reflect both the relative concentration of
insured asset value in climate-exposed regions and
the assessed vulnerabilities of Australian sites, which
represent circa 45% of the Group’s TIV.
• Scenario outcomes: Under the ‘Disorderly’ pathway
(RCP 4.5), the Group’s portfolio exposure increases
gradually, rising by around 60% compared with the
2020 baseline by 2100. Under the ‘Hot House World’
pathway (RCP 8.5), risk grows more sharply, increasing
by more than 200% compared with the 2020 baseline
and more than double the outcome under RCP 4.5.
• Asset concentration: By 2100, eight of the ten most
exposed assets are Heat Stress–driven, with six of
these located in Queensland. Collectively, these top
ten sites represent approximately one-fifth of the
Group’s TIV. Within this Group, Laminex® Toolara is
the single largest hotspot, accounting for circa 30%
of Australia’s long-term physical risk under a ‘Hot
House World’ scenario and circa 26% for Group-wide
risk, despite representing circa 24% of Australia’s TIV.
Laminex® Monkland is also highlighted as a material
contributor to long-term Heat Stress exposure in
Queensland, reinforcing the high sensitivity of the
Laminex® portfolio to extreme heat.
• Risk concentration in Queensland: Risk for the Group
is primarily concentrated to sites in Queensland under
all scenarios and time horizons. The risk to Queensland
sites is most acute under a ‘Hot House World’ scenario
where Heat Stress is the most pronounced, with
Wildfires/Bushfires also contributing to increased risk
along with Water Stress in the region. Queensland is
identified as the most exposed region, increasing from
just over one-third of portfolio risk in 2020 to more
than half by 2100. Given Queensland accounts for
22 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
circa 30% of the Group’s TIV, changes in this region are
particularly influential to the Group’s overall risk profile.
• Scope and limitations of assessment: The assessment
excludes supply chain and asset devaluation risks and
assumes a static asset portfolio. Results are indicative
and subject to uncertainties inherent in climate
modelling. These findings support our ongoing risk
management and strategic resilience planning.
Fletcher Building’s supply chain risk assessment, conducted
independently of our physical climate scenario analysis,
focused on 27 key supplier sites, including two Australian-
based joint ventures, representing critical sources of raw
materials and services. The assessment identified natural
hazard and geopolitical risks, with coastal flooding posing
the highest threat. Risks were expressed as estimated
downtime (in days) based on historical event data from
Marsh Advisory’s modelling, rather than actual events
experienced by Fletcher Building, which informs our
understanding of potential disruption. The overall financial
impact was assessed as minor within a 12-month period.
We acknowledge limitations in data coverage and supplier
climate reporting maturity. We continue to engage with
suppliers to enhance resilience and plan to incorporate
climate scenario analysis of supply chain risks in future
disclosures.
Major drivers of supply chain vulnerability include high
natural hazard exposure and moderately high supplier
concentration risk, particularly in India, New Zealand, China
and Taiwan. In many cases, these risks are underpinned by
exposure to suppliers of suppliers (Tier 2 suppliers).
For example:
• ATP Electronics Taiwan Inc., a Tier 2 supplier, provides
automatic data processing machine components
used in flooring, Pink® Batts®, plates and other product
lines. Its site is exposed to both coastal flooding
and earthquake risk, with estimated downtime of
approximately 195+ days and 220+ days respectively
in severe events.
• East Gate in Taiwan has been identified as the
highest concentration risk for the Group assessed,
which includes one Tier 1 supplier site (Interactive
Corporation) and a high number of Tier 3 supplier
sites. 28 product lines are impacted within this area of
concentration with PVC Pipe being the product line
with the highest risk. 52% of sites in the concentration
area also share high potential natural hazard risk, driven
by earthquake risk.
The modelling highlights the complexity of Fletcher
Building’s supply chain. Findings will be used to guide
future risk discussions in exposed business units and used
to assess regional natural hazard and geopolitical and
supplier concentration risks, engage with critical suppliers
on resilience measures, monitor disruption events, identify
short- and medium-term mitigation options (e.g., extra
stock, dual sourcing) and evaluate insurance coverage in
the context of residual risks. See Appendix E: Climate risk
assessment methods and limitations of the scenario analysis
for detailed findings.
23 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
We reviewed global and regional risk frameworks in
FY22 and FY23 to inform our climate-related disclosures.
Following the sector scenarios, we engaged a consultant in
FY24 to identify potential transition risks and opportunities
relevant to our operations. These were moderated in a
series of workshops by subject matter experts from across
the business. They were then reviewed by the Executive
team to confirm the most material risks, opportunities and
impacts, their expected time horizons and the relative
priority of each. Material risks and opportunities were
prioritised based on likelihood and impact. For example,
a risk noted as ‘high’ priority would be one that the
moderation group considered to have both high likelihood
and a material impact at Group level under a specific
scenario and time horizon.
Leveraging the prior year’s in-depth assessment, for the
FY25 Climate Statements, Divisional CFOs were asked
to provide impact ratings on the summarised transition
risks and opportunities. Ratings were assigned using
the Group’s internal risk matrix and divisional materiality
thresholds across each scenario and time horizon. These
ratings were also used internally to help prioritise risks and
opportunities for management action and monitoring.
These inputs were then consolidated and moderated to
produce overall assessments for Australia and New Zealand
at a Group level. As the results were broadly consistent
across both countries, the outcomes are presented below
in two consolidated summary tables (one for risks and one
for opportunities).
One previously identified opportunity in the prior year
(‘integrate lean design and off-site manufacturing
principles into projects for carbon and cost savings’) has
been removed following the closure of Clever Core® in
FY25, as the related business unit is no longer part of the
Group’s portfolio.
This assessment confirms that the most material transition
risks for Fletcher Building remain consistent with those
identified in FY24. In particular, carbon pricing and
regulatory change (TR1), market preference shifts toward
low-carbon products (TR2) and energy availability and cost
(TR3), continue to represent higher priority risks across
scenarios and time horizons.
Several opportunities have also been prioritised. These
include low-carbon product leadership (TO2), with more
than 75% of manufacturing revenue already attributed to
certified sustainable products; industry leadership and
influence (TO2), through sector-wide decarbonisation
initiatives such as the Concrete NZ Net Zero Roadmap;
innovation in energy and processes (TO3), encompassing
renewable generation, alternative fuels and electrification
of plant and fleet; and policy alignment advantage (TO1),
particularly in New Zealand if carbon pricing is applied to
importers, then this could strengthen the competitiveness
of local production.
Overall, the findings reinforce that transition-related factors,
particularly those linked to policy, markets, energy and
supply chains, will continue to be a major driver of Fletcher
Building’s business strategy and capital allocation. Risks
and opportunities are assessed on a whole-of-Group basis,
embedded into divisional planning, and used to inform
both near-term investment decisions and our long-term
Transition Plan.

Our Transition Plan
Our Transition Plan is centred on reducing emissions,
expanding lower-carbon products and services and
strengthening resilience and adaptation to climate
risks. To support this, capital projects are no longer
assessed solely on financial returns. The Group’s capital
project business case templates have been updated
to also allow for considerations of how initiatives align
with transition objectives and sustainability goals,
including contributions such as emissions reductions,
energy-efficiency improvements or circular-economy
outcomes. Priority initiatives aligned with these goals
include investment in alternative fuels at Golden
Bay® (pending regulatory certainty, as explained in
page 12), renewable energy procurement in Australia
and upgrades to deliver lower-carbon, more efficient
manufacturing and service delivery.

OUR POTENTIAL
BARRIERS
Three potentially significant barriers to implementation of the Group’s Transition Plan and its emissions reduction targets are:
• Regulatory uncertainty, as explained on page 12, particularly in relation to the ETS and its treatment of emissions-intensive trade-
exposed emitters, may pose a significant barrier to implementing the Transition Plan should it make operational costs or capital to
decarbonise uneconomic in the local market.
• The potential impact of high energy costs, or lack of availability of lower-carbon energy sources.
• The Group’s ability, including the ability of our supply chain, to implement the transition for goods and services where proven
technical solutions do not yet exist.
Fletcher Building’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions
reduction target was set and validated in December
2019 in accordance with the Science-based Targets
Initiative (SBTi) process for setting targets. Our target
is aligned to a ‘well-below two degrees’ future.
The target is a 30% absolute reduction in combined
Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a FY18 base
year. The ‘30 by 30’ target does not rely on offsets.
In addition to this near-term Scope 1 and Scope
2 target, Fletcher Building’s long-term target is
Net Zero by 2050 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG
emissions. This is consistent with New Zealand
and Australian regulatory goals that are aligned
to a 1.5 degrees future and therefore we consider
our Net Zero target to be aligned to a 1.5 degrees
future. The Net Zero target is an internal target but
is aligned to the Science-based Targets approach.
This target is likely to rely on offsetting for residual
emissions, which would be for no more than 10% of
emissions. Our targets remain subject to regulatory
certainty for cement manufacturing.
Fletcher Building has completed the analysis for ‘well
below 1.5 degrees’ including short-and long-term
targets associated with Net Zero and aligned with a
1.5 degrees pathway. As part of this, we have further
analysed our Scope 3 emissions and drafted targets.
These are currently in the validation process with the
Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and as a result
we are not yet in a position to disclose these.
How carbon emission reduction targets are embedded as part of our Transition Plan
34 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
The key business tool we use for emissions
reduction planning and assumptions is our
Carbon Reduction Roadmap. This maps
technically feasible carbon reduction options
for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions for
each of our divisions through to 2030.
In order to achieve our ’30 by 30’ near-
term target for Scope 1 and 2 emissions
reductions, we would need to continue
to decarbonise through to FY30, building
on the 24% reduction achieved from FY18
to FY25. The Roadmap shows the key
initiatives required to be delivered from
FY25 to FY30 in order to achieve our target.
Our Roadmap to 2030 assumes the
Australian National Electricity Market
achieves its target of 82% renewable
component by 2030 and lower-emission
transport becomes available in the
transport sector in New Zealand in line
with Transport sector midpoint scenarios
5
.
We also recognise the need to align our
reduction trajectory with a Net Zero in
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions outcome
by 2050. The main actions in our Carbon
Reduction Roadmap are detailed in the
Scope 1 and 2 Transition Plan Roadmap
Initiatives table in page 35.

Decarbonising Transport Action Plan 2022–25
As a result of regulatory uncertainty ,
as explained on page 12, regarding the
Emissions Trading Scheme and level playing
field (to be competitive) with importers,
we have reviewed our capital investment
strategy for Golden Bay®. Our previous
strategy required significant investment for
targeted decarbonisation. Given the lack of
clear regulatory requirements for emissions
reductions, we have significantly reduced
our investment. In the short term, Golden
Bay® assumes that the market will pick up
and, as such, they will experience a small
increase (2%) in their emissions. The capital
investment strategy will be reviewed in 2026
(pending regulatory certainty). Regardless
of this change to the Roadmap, based on
our projections and assumptions, we are
still currently on track for achieving our ‘30
by 30’ target.
The Roadmap is reviewed and revised by
each division as part of annual budget
reviews and as part of the annual 5-year
plan reviews. Performance against
the Roadmap is reported to the SHES
Committee at least twice per annum,
along with updates and progress against
key assumptions, and is included in the
incentives for the Chief Executive of the
Concrete division, which is the division
with the highest contribution to emissions.

Target of being coal-free
100% coal substitution target
Case Study –
Golden Bay® Decarbonising
New Zealand’s Cement
Golden Bay® Cement is New Zealand’s only domestic
cement manufacturer, playing a critical role in maintaining
national building materials supply resilience. As part
of its commitment to sustainability, Golden Bay® has
taken steps to reduce coal use and offer lower-carbon
cement products.
Its adoption of waste-derived alternative fuels reflects a
focus on innovation and environmental responsibility. This
approach contributes meaningfully to reducing reliance
on fossil fuels and supports broader efforts to manage
industrial waste and promote circular economy principles.
Since 2003, Golden Bay® has progressively replaced coal
with alternative fuels, reaching 65% substitution in FY25
with a goal of being coal-free by 2030. To sustain the
investment required to meet this goal, it is essential that
a level playing field is established between imported and
domestically manufactured cement. A Carbon Border
Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), or a comparable policy
instrument, will be critical to ensuring fair competition and
supporting the decarbonisation of local production.
Golden Bay®’s decarbonisation journey has been a
cornerstone of Fletcher Building’s Carbon Reduction
Roadmap and is aligned with the Concrete NZ Net Zero
Roadmap, which targets Net Zero emissions across the
concrete sector by 2050. As New Zealand’s only domestic
cement producer, Golden Bay® is pioneering practical
solutions to cut embodied carbon in their products and
increasing diversions from landfill with their alternate fuel use.

Golden Bay® has recently invested in modernising its
manufacturing processes, adopting alternative fuels for the
calciner, optimising operations, increasing mineral additions
to cement and implementing hotdisc firing.
In line with the Global Cement and Concrete Association
and Concrete NZ Net Zero Roadmaps, between FY25 and
FY30, Golden Bay® intends to invest to support the continued
decarbonisation efforts. With a focus on increasing the use
of alternate fuels and raw materials, continuing development
of low-carbon cements and increasing supply of low-carbon
Supplementary Cementitious Products (SCMs), these
initiatives are critical to achieving Fletcher Building’s ‘30 by
30’ near-termtarget for Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions
and to enabling a coal-free future for New Zealand’s cement.
Net Zero 2050 targets for Golden Bay® are dependent
on regulatory certainty and availability of developing
technologies such as Carbon Capture, Storage and Use
(CCSU). Further information on the regulatory challenges
that may impact Golden Bay®’s decarbonisation pathway is
provided in the Strategy section of these Climate Statements
(page 12), consistent with the ‘Property, plant and equipment’
disclosure note within Fletcher Building’s FY25 Annual Report
(page 42).

Risk Management
Fletcher Building’s Risk Management Framework is aligned
with ISO31000: 2018 Risk Management – Principles and
Guidelines standard. The purpose of the Risk Management
Framework is to identify, assess, control, monitor and
report the key risks faced so that the Group can achieve its
objectives and protect its staff, customers and reputation.
The framework provides a consistent structure for risk
management and is aligned with the overall Group strategy.
The Group’s Risk Management Framework, including
the current key risks it is focused on, is set out in the
Corporate Governance Statement 2025 available on the
Group’s website. While the Group’s assessment of climate-
related risks and opportunities, as presented in these
statements, is conducted on a stand-alone basis from other
risk management processes, the Group intends to build
the learning from these assessments into future risk and
resilience discussions across the business.
Current material physical risks from climate impacts are
generally captured and considered within the Group’s
risk framework and in business units’ risk registers under
categories such as ‘Business Resilience’ (e.g., disruption to
business processes, loss of key assets, energy access) and
‘Supply Chain’. Current material transition risks are reflected
under ‘Regulatory and Legal’, ‘Environment’ and ‘Corporate
Reputation and Social Licence to Operate’.
However, more detailed assessments of climate-related
risks and opportunities across different scenarios and
time horizons are not yet fully integrated into current risk
management practices at the business unit level. These
assessments are still primarily conducted at a Group level
and are not consistently understood or embedded across
all parts of the business.
The Group is progressively aligning its enterprise Risk
Management Framework to explicitly incorporate climate-
related risk considerations, including the use of multiple
scenarios and time horizons. As part of this approach,
climate-related considerations are beginning to be
incorporated into aspects of asset management, such
as planning, maintenance and investment reviews, with
further integration expected over time. Climate-related risk
analysis is also progressively being embedded into risk
management processes, including the review of business
continuity plans within individual business units so they can
adapt and respond to any new key risks identified.
Enterprise Level
The Group’s risk management and assurance processes
are overseen by the Board and Executive Leadership Team,
with a dedicated internal audit team reporting to the ARC.
The climate-related scenario analysis and risk management
process is overseen by the Group’s CRWG and Risk team,
reporting into the ARC annually. With support from the
Group’s insurance broker, assumptions for climate-related
risk scenarios are used as inputs to model potential
outcomes and assess key risks and opportunities to which
the Group could be exposed and may need to respond.
Business Unit / Divisional Level
Operational risk management is the responsibility of
individual business unit managers and Divisional Chief
Executives. Each business unit has a General Manager
(GM) and Senior Leadership Team (SLT) accountable for
implementing risk management processes and maintaining
a key risk register.
Risk registers are reviewed annually in workshops
between business unit leadership teams and Group
Risk. In these workshops, risks are identified (including
current material climate-related and other exposures),
assessed using a standard 5x5 risk matrix and assigned
ratings based on probability (Y-axis) and financial impact
(X-axis). The resulting risk level (low, medium, high, very
high) determines both the frequency of review and the
approval level required within Fletcher Building. Group
Risk aggregates outcomes from all workshops to evaluate
the Group’s overall risk profile and reports this to the ARC.
Twice annually, Group Risk formally engages with the
ARC to present the aggregate risk profile, highlight ‘very
high’ rated risks, and discuss emerging risks observed
through the workshops. This process also supports the
identification of any material current climate-related
exposures outside of specific climate-related risk
management processes carried out by the CRWG and
Group Risk team.
40 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
In FY25
• 27 risk workshops were held with business units
to support bottom-up reporting and appropriate
risk management strategies being implemented.
These workshops were not conducted through
a specific climate risk lens; however, climate-
related considerations were addressed in certain
circumstances, particularly in the context of business
continuity, resilience and environmental risks.
• The Group engaged Marsh Advisory to conduct a
detailed physical climate risk assessment across its
Tier 1 and Tier 2 sites (177 leased and owned sites
with a total insurable value of $10 million or greater),
representing approximately 92% of the Group’s Total
Insured Value. The approach undertaken by Marsh
Advisory broadly aligns with previous physical risk
assessments in terms of asset focus, hazard and
impact modelling. Notably, this year’s analysis provides
more granular and comprehensive estimates of
potential damage and revenue impacts at site level.
Building on prior assessments, this analysis reflects
the Group’s ongoing commitment to climate risk
evaluation. The findings will inform adaptation and
resilience measures across the business.
• For the first time, and in collaboration with Marsh
Advisory, an in-depth supply chain risk assessment,
which included consideration of climate-related risks,
was completed for 27 of the Group’s key supplier
sites. The assessment provided additional insights into
potential physical and transition risks, supporting future
risk discussions and mitigation planning.
• Transition risks and opportunities were reconfirmed
with Divisional CFOs, building on the FY24 findings.
Feedback was consolidated into priority ratings for
New Zealand and Australia, with the principal change
from FY24 being structural, with similar risks and
opportunities consolidated into single categories to
improve clarity.

Metrics and Targets
Fletcher Building discloses climate-related metrics and targets in line with NZ CS 1. This section summarises those metrics, with references to detailed disclosures elsewhere in these
Climate Statements. No additional industry-based metrics or key performance indicators are disclosed.
METRIC CATEGORYFY25FY24NOTES
Percentage of gross
revenue vulnerable to
transition risks
100%100%Currently, it is not possible to distinguish exposure at the level of each individual asset or activity. However, each division is subject to at least one of the material
transition risks identified in Transition Risks and Opportunities (pages 23-30) above.
Therefore, at a Group level we estimate that all gross revenue is exposed to transition risks. The comparative FY24 percentage has been updated to align with the
current methodology, which treats all Group’s gross revenue as exposed to transition risks. This provides consistency with the FY25 disclosure and should avoid
potential confusion.
Percentage of assets
vulnerable to physical
risks
92% 100% The percentages reflect the proportion of the Group’s assets included in the physical risk assessment, not the proportion directly exposed.
In FY24, Aon assessed 100% of FB sites in NZ, expressing potential physical impacts as asset value loss (e.g. $54 million for a 1-in-200-year pluvial flood across all NZ
sites) and performed a high-level assessment of FB sites in Australia. As disclosed in the FY24 Climate Statements (page 21), this high-level assessment of Australian
sites included qualitative consideration of a range of physical hazards, with examples including exposures identified at the Laminex® Toolara site. These were
highlighted as areas for future detailed analysis once more granular data became available. Based on these assessments, we consider 100% of Fletcher Building’s
assets were exposed to physical climate-related risks, noting that the level of analytical granularity differed between regions.
In FY25, Marsh Advisory assessed 92% of FB’s sites in both Australia (AU) and NZ (Tier 1 and Tier 2), with results expressed as Average Annual Loss (AAL) and related
metrics. We consider, based on these analyses, 100% of assessed assets were exposed to physical risks from climate change. However, because only 92% of sites
were assessed in FY25, we can only speak to the vulnerability of those sites. Accordingly, we consider that 92% of sites in FY25 are vulnerable to physical risks.
Summary modelling outcomes for FY25 are set out in the Physical Risk Modelling conducted in FY25 section (pages 21-22).
Percentage of business
activities aligned
with climate-related
opportunities
100%100% Currently, it is not possible to distinguish alignment at the level of each individual asset or activity. However, each division aligns with at least one of the climate-
related transition opportunities identified in Transition Risks and Opportunities (pages 23-30) above.
Therefore, at a Group level we consider that all business activities are aligned with climate-related opportunities.

Not materialNot materialWe invest in projects that contribute to carbon reduction, energy efficiency and the development of lower-carbon building products. In FY24, Fletcher Building
disclosed that $179 million of capital was deployed towards carbon reduction initiatives, responding to climate-related risks and opportunities. This amount reflected
the total capital invested in each project during the year, and therefore the figure did not separate out the capital specifically addressing climate-related risks and
opportunities. The capital cost incurred that specifically addresses climate-related risks and opportunities has been assessed as being not financially material for
FY25 and also for FY24.
Key investments/initiatives in FY25 include:
• Golden Bay® Cement front-end firing capability (FY25 capex spend: $6.1 million) - This was implemented in FY25, enabling the use of up to 30,000 tonnes of
additional waste-derived alternative fuels per annum. Once fully operational, this project is expected to offset up to 17,000 tonnes of CO
2
emissions per year by
displacing coal as a thermal fuel in the production of cement.
• Higgins® introduced a new bitumen tanker fleet that has reduced fuel burn by 19% per tanker (FY25 capex spend: $2.3 million), anticipated to deliver an
estimated 65% reduction in CO
2
per kilometre, with ongoing work to quantify the total emissions reduction achieved since implementation.
• Solar-as-a-service panel installations across multiple Laminex® Australia sites, generating renewable electricity and reducing Scope 2 emissions.
• Renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Australia, providing long-term emissions reduction benefits and supply chain resilience.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Appendix B sets out Fletcher Building’s GHG emissions
methodology and assurance approach. Scope 1 and 2
emissions have obtained reasonable assurance, while
Scope 3 emissions have obtained limited assurance.
In FY25 we also restated our FY18, FY23 and FY24
inventories to account for divestments and inclusion
of additional Scope 3 sources:
• Divestment of Tradelink® and New Zealand Ceiling
& Drywall Supplies; and
• Inclusion of the following Scope 3 sources: End-of-
life emissions from sold products, in-use emissions
from sold products and well-to-tank emissions from
liquid fuels.
Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions for our ongoing
operations were 911 kilotonnes of CO
2
e (kt CO
2
e) in FY25.
The majority of these were associated with our cement
operations, process heat, transport fuel and electricity
use in Australia.
Target – Near-term Science-based Target (validated by the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in
December 2019):
• 30% absolute reduction in combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a FY18 base year
• Aligned to a ‘well-below two degrees’ future

Measured Scope 3 GHG Emissions
Scope 3 GHG emissions were assessed as 1,587 kt CO
2
e
in FY25. The highest sources of measured Scope 3 GHG
emissions
6
for our business, collectively contributing circa
84% of Scope 3 GHG emissions, are:
• Purchased steel and purchased cement;
• Construction operations and materials;
• Freight; and
• In-use and end-of-life emissions from sold products.
There are a number of smaller sources that make up our
Scope 3 GHG emissions. The following make up 2% of
Scope 3 GHG Emissions each: transmission and distribution
losses from the electricity and natural gas grids; business
travel and employee commuting; and well-to-tank emissions.
In addition, there are other sources individually contributing
less than 2% each of overall Scope 3 GHG emissions.
In FY25, we increased the quantity of supplier-specific data
sourced directly from freight providers and reduced our
reliance on spend-based estimates. The resulting increase
in Scope 3 emissions from freight are therefore a reflection
of improved data quality and do not necessarily mean an
increase in real-world emissions.
Our Transition Plan currently focuses on addressing the
most significant components of currently measured Scope
3 GHG emissions.

Appendices
Appendix A: Glossary of terms
1. Manufacturing revenue from sustainably certified products
The manufacturing revenue from sustainably certified products included in this report is
revenue from products that hold a credible, third party verified, sustainability certification.
The sustainability certifications that we include are Type I environmental labelling
requirements under the ISO 14024 Standard (Eco Choice Aotearoa, Good Environmental
Choice Australia, Global GreenTag GreenRate™) and Type III environmental declaration
requirements under the ISO 14025 Standard.
These certifications qualify for the sustainable products credits in either the Green Star
or IS Rating construction sustainability ratings within New Zealand and Australia.
We calculate the revenue for sustainably certified products as a percentage of the total
revenue from products made or sold by our manufacturing businesses. We exclude
revenue from non-manufacturing businesses (our Distribution and Construction
businesses) from the total revenue used for this calculation.
Where revenue is noted as being for products that hold Type I certification, these
products may also hold Type III certification.
Where revenue is noted as being for products that hold Type III certification, these
products do not also hold Type I certification.
2. Waste diverted from landfill
The waste diverted from landfill figures included in this report are the tonnage of waste
diverted from landfill. These figures include waste managed as part of our principal waste
contracts, which represents most of the waste generated from our operations, together
with waste reported by individual operational sites.
The figures for waste diverted from landfill do not include waste material resulting from
our operations that was reused as cleanfill or hardfill, or waste used for energy recovery.
The waste figures in this report do not include waste that is not managed under our
principal waste contracts, and where specific waste measurements for our operations
are not provided to us.
49 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are calculated in
accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard, Corporate Value
Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard:
Supplement to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard (together referred to as the GHG
Protocol), ISO 14064-1:2018 International Standard for GHG
Emissions Inventories and Verification and Aotearoa New
Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs) - issued by External
Reporting Board (XRB).
Scope 1 (ISO 14064 category 1, direct emissions), Scope 2
(ISO 14064 category 2, indirect emissions from imported
energy) and Scope 3 GHG emissions (ISO 14064 categories
3-6, indirect emissions from the supply chain) have been
externally assured by Toitū Envirocare in accordance with
NZ SAE 1: Assurance Engagements over Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Disclosure - issued by External Reporting Board
(XRB). Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions have Reasonable
assurance, and Scope 3 GHG emissions have Limited
assurance. Assurance statements for FY18, FY23 and FY24 are
available in the ‘Sustainability Reports’ section of our website.
GHG emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG
Protocol location-based methodology. All Scope 1, 2 and
3 GHG emissions from our businesses are calculated on
the equity share basis. This means that emissions from our
businesses and from joint ventures we have an ownership
interest in have been included. For joint ventures, the
percentage of emissions included is based on our
percentage ownership of the joint venture.
Scope 3 GHG emissions, those from our supply chain, were
calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Scope
3 GHG emissions were assessed for all upstream supply
chain categories and all downstream categories other than
processing, use and end-of-life treatment of sold products,
and downstream leased assets. Our reported Scope 3 GHG
emissions for FY25 include data sourced directly from our
largest steel and cement suppliers. Supplier-specific data
was used for circa 63% of reported Scope 3 GHG emissions.
Limited assurance has been completed for 13 of the 15
Scope 3 GHG Protocol Categories. The following two
GHG Protocol Supply Chain Categories are excluded
from our reporting:
1. Downstream leased assets: We do not lease downstream
assets.
2. Processing of sold products: The significant majority of our
sold products are building supplies sold for direct use in
building and construction, and not reprocessed for final
use. Therefore, processing of sold products is not expected
to have significant emissions but has not been evaluated.
For the balance of emissions, we have used emission
factors from goods and services published by the New
Zealand
7
or Australian
8
Governments to convert the mass,
volume or other units for goods and services into tonnes
of CO
2
equivalents (t CO
2
e). Both the New Zealand and
Australian government emission factors use the 100-year
time-horizon GWP (GWP100) values, as listed in table 8.A.1
of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC. Where
data on quantities of supply chain goods and services was
not available, we have estimated emissions using spend-
based factors, using the internationally recognised DEFRA
factor set
9
, corrected for exchange rates and inflation. The
DEFRA factors use 100-year time-horizon GWP (GWP100)
values, as listed in table 8.A.1 of the Fifth Assessment
Report (AR5) of the IPCC.
As required periodically by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
accounting standard, we re-baselined our emissions
in FY25 to account for acquisitions, divestments,
methodology changes and improved availability of historic
data. Re-baselining means that the GHG emissions
and emission reductions are based on what our real-
world emissions would have been for all years from, and
including, FY18 if the boundary of our operations for those
years had been the same as for FY25.
GHG emissions are calculated for our continuing
operations and exclude emissions from our Tradelink®
and New Zealand Ceiling & Drywall Supplies, which were
divested in FY25.
The tables below within this Appendix provides an overview
of how data were collected for each GHG emissions
source, the source of the data and an explanation of any
uncertainties or assumptions made.

Exclusions are estimated to be less than 5% of total
emissions inventory.
All data was calculated using the most recent GHG
emissions factors from New Zealand and Australia. These
were sourced from the New Zealand Ministry for the
Environment (MfE, July 2024) and Australian National
Greenhouse Accounts factors supplied from the Australian
Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment
and Water (DCCEEW, August 2024).
10,11
All emissions were calculated using emission factors
published by MfE, DCCEEW, IEA or calculated using
third-party data as specified below.
Emission factors from IEA, MfE, DCCEEW & DEFRA use
Global Warming Potentials (GWP) from the IPCC fifth
assessment report (AR5).
Where applicable, unit conversions applied when
processing the activity data has been disclosed.
Assessment criteria for sources and uncertainties
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.
Uncertainties were qualitatively assessed based
on the quality of the activity data and relevance of
emissions factors.
Where there is higher confidence in data quality (e.g.,
invoiced quantities from suppliers or directly metered
data) the uncertainty in activity data is lower. Where we
have used spend data, the data is highly aggregated at a
Group level and therefore the uncertainty increases due to
reduced granularity of data on products and services being
purchased. In addition, the aggregate at Group level can
affect the accuracy of activity category allocations.
For emissions factors, where we have regionally specific
emissions factors there is lower uncertainty (e.g., MfE,
DCCEEW). Where we have had to apply spend-based
factors, these are from foreign jurisdictions and are
adjusted for inflation and exchange rates. The emissions
factor in UK jurisdictions, for example, may not accurately

Excluded sources and business units
Fletcher Building owns a number of holding, trustee, name
reservation and other companies that are inactive. These
businesses that have no operational activities are excluded
from the inventory.
We use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and refrigerants in some
of our cooling systems but these have not been quantified
and are not included in the GHG inventory. Estimates
illustrate that emissions from HFCs were <1% of total
emissions. We do not have data or estimate emissions from
the products that we distribute, but do not manufacture.
Refer to Scope 3 emissions (ISO 14064 Category 5) (page
68) below for more detail.
Scope 1 emissions (ISO 14064 Category 1)
Emission factors for waste end-of-life-tyres and clinker were
sourced from Tables 7 and 9, respectively, from the Climate
Change (Stationary Energy and Industrial Processes)
Regulations 2009.
12
Emission factors for refuse derived fuel were calculated from
third-party elemental analysis and calorific value studies
conducted on a representative sample of plastic waste.
Biogenic emissions from wastewater treatment at Laminex®
Australia were estimated using the NGER Industrial
Wastewater Calculator v 1.5 (2023-2024), published by the
Australian Clean Energy Regulator.
13
All emissions from
wastewater were reported as biogenic CO
2
.
Biogenic emissions, such as those from biomass
combustion, the biogenic fraction of tyres and liquid
biofuels, and biomass decomposition in wastewater, are
relevant to Fletcher Building and were quantified during
inventory preparation. In accordance with ISO 14064-
1:2018, these emissions are reported separately because
they are considered part of the natural carbon cycle and
fall outside the scope of the disclosed anthropogenic GHG
inventory. Biogenic emissions for Fletcher Building were
251 kt CO

Scope 3 emissions (ISO 14064 Category 3)
Emissions for category 3 sources were estimated using a hybrid method of supplier-specific, average and spend data, according to the GHG Protocol Technical guidelines. Where data
was available directly from suppliers, this was used in conjunction with supplier-specified emission factors. Where supplier-specific emission factors were unavailable, published data
was used from MfE.
The spend method used Group level operating expenses data and UK DEFRA factors from 2022, adjusted for average July 2024 to June 2025 exchange rates and UK CPI inflation on
30 June 2025.
Employee commuting was estimated based on online voluntary survey data taken during March 2025 to obtain information on average commuting habits. In FY25, 1141 employees
responded (approximately 10%). The survey covered:
• Total distance travelled by employees during commuting.
• Types and quantities of fuels consumed during transportation.
• Mode of transport used by employees (private transport, company car, public transport & walking).
• Days worked from home.
Part 1 of 3
55 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
The average-data method was used to extrapolate the sample results to a representative headcount of 11,605 FTE.
Wheel-to-tank emissions for Category 1 petroleum-based fuels (Diesel, Petrol, LFO, LPG, BioPetrol, Biodiesel) were calculated using NGA fuel production emission factors published by
DCCEEW. These were applied to fuel usage in all regions.
Where available, subcontractor transport fuel emissions were calculated using supplied reports of direct fuel consumption (volume) or distance-based measures. Where supplier-
specific emission factors were unavailable, it was estimated using operating expenses data and DEFRA spend-based factors.
Business travel emissions were calculated from supplier-specific reports, using emission factors published by MfE. For rental cars, the distance travelled per day in New Zealand was
assumed to be 50 km, in Australia 82.1 km (51 miles).

Scope 3 emissions (ISO 14064 Category 4)
Emissions from waste to landfill were calculated using data supplied by waste service suppliers in New Zealand and Australia and internal records. All waste to landfill in New Zealand
was assumed to enter landfills with gas capture. There was no data available about landfill destinations in Australia so the default construction & demolition waste factor from the
Australian DCCEEW was used.
Certain Category 4 emissions, specifically those relating to purchased goods and services, and capital goods, were estimated using spend-based methodologies that rely on
industry-average emission factors and high-level assumptions. These estimations are inherently uncertain, and variations in the underlying assumptions or spend categorisation could
significantly affect the accuracy of the reported emissions for these categories.
Part 7 of 7
62 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Some freight emissions were calculated using supplier-specific emissions reports. These reports provided limited transparency regarding the underlying methodologies, emission
factors and data sources used.
Pre-calculated emissions, haulage or fuel consumption from third-party freight services were sourced directly from suppliers where available for road, rail and surface freight. Other
significant sources of freight emissions (gypsum and paper) were calculated using haulage data from imported material weights and assuming direct port-to-port distances for average
bulk or container ships, respectively, and relevant emission factors from MfE. Where supplier-specific freight data was unavailable, it was estimated using operating expenses data and
DEFRA spend-based factors.
Purchased steel and cement were included as significant sources of Category 4 emissions. Emissions factors for embodied emissions in these materials were obtained from EPD
data (cement), directly from suppliers or using industry average values where supplier-specific data was unavailable (steel). EPD data for purchased cement was sourced from
EPD Australasia. Industry average values for steel were sourced from World Steel.

Scope 3 emissions (ISO 14064 Category 5)
Emissions from sold product end-of-life were calculated
using FY25 sales and production data, using life-cycle
C-stage GWPf values from published product EPDs, where
available. For insulation and plastic pipe products, this
module was not declared at the time of publication and
these products were assumed to be inert at the end of their

Appendix C: Detailed climate scenarios
Scenario One
An ‘Orderly’ scenario where the world succeeds in limiting global temperature increase to
1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures. Global emissions decline steadily to achieve Net
Zero CO
2
emissions globally by 2050. New Zealand climate policies are ambitious and in
line with the rest of the world’s, with the building and construction sector adopting and
prioritising decarbonisation policies. The energy grid shifts rapidly away from fossil fuel
use, with the New Zealand grid reaching 100% renewable by 2050. Alternative fuels are
used as a backup, and renewables are utilised on site instead of fossil fuels.
The shadow price of carbon increases dramatically to align with a 1.5°C trajectory,
steadily rising up to $250/t CO
2
e by 2050 (an increase) of ~614% from a 2023 baseline of
$35/t CO
2
e). As a result, the cost and lead-times for low-carbon materials and products
increase through the 2020s and 2030s, but they become more cost and time effective
than traditional materials by 2040. The construction sector grows significantly as carbon-
supporting infrastructure is replaced with greener, low-carbon infrastructure.
New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) is amended to make Carbon Capture
and Storage (CCS) a recognised removal activity. CCS systems are implemented in the
medium term to accelerate the rate of decarbonisation and mitigate hard-to-abate fossil
fuel use.
The primary driver of changes to land use and densification is GHG emissions reduction,
with changes in transportation use and community connections being of primary
importance out to 2050. Land use change due to increased forestry sequestration
continues through to 2050 but the extent is limited and has marginal impacts on food
production and biodiversity.
Regulatory changes for the property and construction sector include government
procurement policies targeting recycled materials and circular economy principles.
Stringent energy and carbon caps for new buildings are phased in rapidly. Existing
buildings must disclose energy and carbon performance, take steps to remove all reliance
on fossil fuels for operation, and scale up energy efficiency.
Pressures on centralised infrastructure increase with the demand for electrification, closing
of fossil fuel power stations and direct climate impacts on storm and wastewater networks.
Modular, circular designs will take precedence, with existing building reuse and adaptive
reuse being in demand rather than new builds. Rapid densification puts pressure on
horizontal infrastructure, necessitating significant upgrades.
Significant behavioural change results in an increased demand for energy-efficient
buildings, increased pressures on public transport, the rise of circular business models
and a higher consumer awareness regarding low-carbon buildings.

71 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Scenario Two
A ‘Delayed Transition’ where policy, technology and behaviour changes remain slow
up until 2030. As global emissions continue to rise during the 2020s, concerns about
meeting Paris Agreement Goals drives a sudden shift in global policy around 2030. Abrupt
and stringent decarbonisation policies are enacted in the 2030s, succeeding in limiting
global warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
The pace of change also generates significant financial incentives for innovation,
especially for carbon sequestration, capture and storage which must play a large role in
carbon emissions reduction by 2050.New Zealand follows suit with the rest of the world,
leading to abrupt policy and market changes for the property and construction sector
post-2030. There is no initial increase in carbon price up to 2030, at which point price
rapidly increases to reach $250/t CO
2
e by 2050.
During the 2020s there is a slow increase in demand for electricity, followed by a surge
in demand in the 2030s as New Zealand rushes to electrify our transport networks. The
electricity sector is unprepared for the sudden shift in demand at 2030, which causes a
delay in adequate expansion of the grid during the 2030s and leads to supply constraints.
These constraints result in more frequent blackouts and fluctuations in electricity prices.
During the 2020s, increased regulation within the sector attempts to address the need
to decarbonise, but regulation is uneven across local entities and conflicting regulations
lead to uncertainty. At 2030 more stringent regulatory changes are introduced. During the
2020s there is less investment signalling for both new and retrofit low-carbon buildings,
which causes further uncertainty and lack of momentum until 2030. At 2030, significant
regulatory changes demand an immediate step change in building energy and carbon
requirements.
Limited investment during the 2020s means the spike in demand for low-carbon materials,
low-energy technology and on-site generation in 2030 causes significant disruption for
the sector. Competition for availability of products, materials, professional advice and
competent installers impacts significantly on both new building and retrofit projects
resulting in escalation in development costs.
After 2030, the primary driver of changes to land use and densification switches to GHG
emissions reduction, with changes in transportation use and community connections
being of primary importance. Land use change due to increased forestry sequestration
takes place out to 2050 and there are moderate impacts on food production and
biodiversity as rapid decarbonisation efforts significantly expand the extent of managed
forests.
Pressures on centralised infrastructure are compounded after 2030 due to increasing
densification and the increasing impacts of physical climate risks. Spatial planning to
prioritise decarbonisation and densification versus climate resilience and managed retreat
is inconsistent across the country. This inconsistency leads to increasing uncertainty for
the construction and property sector regarding which assets are most likely to become
stranded.
Initially the construction and property sector is slow to decarbonise, but ‘fast movers’
get the opportunity to utilise materials, capital, and knowledge while late movers are
disadvantaged when demands peak post-2030.

Scenario Three
A ‘Hot House World’ where global emissions continue to grow. Global average
temperature rises to greater than 3°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
New Zealand’s climate change policy remains in keeping with the rest of the world. No
further policies are introduced to curb emissions, with the building and construction
sector following suit. Regulatory changes are slow and focus on adaptation and managing
climate driven immigration/refugees. The price of carbon remains at the current ETS floor
price through to 2050. Mandates are introduced to conserve energy for critical functions,
as asset and infrastructure damages due to climate change are realised.
New Zealand’s electricity grid is gradually decarbonised further in line with current
policies. Emission grid factors remain at 0.06 kg CO
2
/kWh by 2050 which means buildings
wishing to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions must invest in their own zero carbon
generation.
There are no incentives for meaningful behavioural change. A significant breakdown of
social cohesion occurs, with heat stress and mental health impacts from climate change
at record levels. Food insecurity and growing populations drive retreat from cities. Spikes
in demand for housing occur due to climate-driven immigration from other parts of the
world and increasing numbers of climate refugees.
Use of Carbon Capture and Storage is minimal. Current policies are entrenched seeing
New Zealand’s reliance on carbon sequestration through forestry increase significantly out
to 2050 in an attempt to offset continued increases in emissions.
Existing low-carbon materials are readily available due to low demand but there is little
innovation beyond technologies and materials currently available. Investment is prioritised
towards adaptation and climate resilience. Some assets become stranded as building
codes increasingly become more stringent regarding the need for buildings to withstand
climate impacts (such as storm events, extreme rainfall, heatwaves and floods).
Centralised infrastructure will show failures and stresses, with some assets becoming
stranded due to physical impacts of climate change. Consequently, local councils increase
rates to invest in protection and restoration of certain assets.

Physical Climate Risk Assessment
The change in engagement from Aon to Marsh Advisory
in respect of the physical risk assessment for FY25
facilitated a more detailed and comprehensive approach
to the modelling of assets and sites specific risks in
both New Zealand and Australia. The physical risks
assessment covered 177 of Fletcher Building’s 536 assets,
representing around 92% of the Group’s Total Insured
Value. This included all Tier 1 and Tier 2 assets. Together,
these accounted for 93% of Material Damage and 91%
of Business Interruption values. Tier 3 assets were not
included, as they represent only 7% and 9% of Material
Damage and Business Interruption values respectively.
Methods
Portfolio of 177 Fletcher Building assets in NZ and Australia
analysed (67 Tier 1, 110 Tier 2) have been analysed using the
below parameters.
• Hazards assessed: Heat Stress, Water Stress, Floods
(coastal, river, pluvial), Wildfires, Hurricanes/Typhoons
and Sea-level rise. (see table below)
• Climate scenarios:
» SSP1–2.6 (analogue, ~1.5°C pathway)
»SSP2–4.5 (intermediate pathway)
»SSP5–8.5 (high-emissions pathway)
• Time horizons: 2020 (baseline), 2030, 2050, 2100.
• Modelling tool: RMS Climate on Demand – uses
downscaled CMIP6 projections adjusted to baseline
hazard levels.
• Risk metric: Average Annual Loss (AAL), derived from:
»Annual Damage Rate (ADR) × Total Insured Value
(TIV)
»Includes property damage, business interruption,
insurance deductibles/premiums, higher
operating costs.
The data sources used in preparing Fletcher Building’s
three scenarios are set out in Appendix D.

77 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Assumptions and Limitations
• Analysis focused on at-site physical risk only; did not
cover supply chain or asset devaluation.
• Asset portfolio assumed to remain static (no new sites,
divestments or relocations).
• AAL cannot be split into property damage vs. business
interruption.
• Asset valuations held constant across time horizons.
• Uncertainty introduced through climate model
downscaling and bias correction.
• Results are indicative, not predictive and depend on
underlying model assumptions.
Supply Chain Risk Assessment
In addition, Fletcher Building engaged Marsh Advisory
to assess supply chain risks, with a focus on geopolitical,
natural hazard (including earthquake), bottleneck and
concentration risks across the Group’s 27 key supplier
sites. This assessment also included two Australian-based
joint ventures where Fletcher Building has joint control or
significant influence. The assessment identified potential
risks of disruption at key sites, expressed as estimated
downtime (days) based on historical event data from Marsh
Advisory’s modelling, rather than actual events experienced
by Fletcher Building. These findings provide valuable
insights into resilience and disruption exposure, but they
were conducted independently of the scenario analysis
and did not apply climate scenarios.
Accordingly, the FY25 scenario analysis does not yet
include Fletcher Building’s full value chain. Exclusions
comprise:
• The remaining direct operations in New Zealand and
Australia (which are the Tier 3 sites/assets); and
• Joint ventures and associates in New Zealand and Australia,
representing approximately 3% of total Group assets;
The scenarios used are limited by the information available
at the time and the assumptions made about future states.
They are not intended to be probabilistic or predictive.
Their intended use is as a tool to support strategic planning
by providing a view of multiple plausible future states and
testing the resilience of Fletcher Building’s operations
and strate gy.
Methods
• Sentrisk mapped Fletcher Building’s supply chain using
trade flow data from January 2020 onwards, capturing
~60% of global trade.
• Supply chain visibility extended to Tier 0 (own sites),
Tier 1 (direct suppliers) and deeper tiers (T2, T3),
identifying ~31,363 sites across 84 countries.
• Risks were assessed through an Expected Risk (XR)
score, combining:
»Likelihood of disruption
»Severity of impact
• Risk categories assessed:
»Natural hazard risk (e.g., flood, earthquake,
cyclone, extreme heat, wind)
»Geopolitical risk (e.g., war, sanctions, political
instability)
»Concentration risk (clusters of suppliers in one
location)
»Bottleneck risk (dependency on sole/critical suppliers)
Assumptions and Limitations
• Only international trade transactions captured in
Sentrisk’s database are included; intra-country trades
are less visible.
• The analysis assumes that captured transactions
feed into final product lines, though this cannot be
guaranteed.
• Output is based on probability-weighted models;
results are indicative and not predictive of specific
disruptions.
• Site-level risk estimates (e.g., downtime days) are based
on historical event data and may vary in practice.

Appendix F: FB’s Internal Cost of Carbon Framework
Fletcher Building’s Internal Cost of Carbon Framework (the
cost of carbon framework) was approved by the ARC in
May 2024 to guide the Group’s capital investment decisions
in a manner that aligns with its environmental goals and
meets regulatory expectations, both present and future.
By incorporating carbon pricing into the decision-making
process, the aim is to support the effective evaluation and
prioritisation of investments that also materially impact the
carbon footprint of the Group and any of its business units.
Methodology for Carbon Pricing: Our shadow price for
carbon is determined using multiple external reference points:
Different weightings are assigned to these reference points
based on relevance, currency and availability. The market
price carries the greatest weighting given its timeliness.
The market floor establishes a minimum value. Carbon
offset credits, which are limited to 10% of the Group’s
carbon reduction, are weighted accordingly, while the cost
containment reserve is weighted based on relevance.
The approved internal carbon pricing mechanism is
evolutionary and assumes the Group’s carbon prices will
change with time. As countries, and indeed the Group,
gets closer to their carbon reduction deadlines, urgency
becomes a factor. Therefore, updates to the Group’s
internal carbon prices will need to be considered regularly
(at least annually), to remain current.
The Group’s carbon pricing also considers the cost of
implementing initiatives in different jurisdictions and initiatives
with different time horizons, where a blend of current and
forward/future pricing is used to inform an appropriate carbon
price for projects in different countries and with different
horizons. The following carbon prices were approved for
internal use in FY24 and remain unchanged for FY25:

Conclusion
Emissions – Reasonable Assurance
We have obtained all the information and explanations we
have required. In our opinion, the gross GHG emissions,
additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and
gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation
uncertainty in the Climate Statements, in all material respects:
+ comply with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards
(NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB); and
+ provide a true and fair view of the Climate Statements of
Fletcher Building Limited for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Emissions – Limited Assurance
Based on the procedures we have performed and the
evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the gross GHG
emissions, additional required disclosures of gross
GHG emissions, and gross GHG emissions methods,
assumptions and estimation uncertainty defined in the
Climate Statements:
+ do not comply with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting
Board (XRB); and
+ do not provide a true and fair view of the Climate
Statements of Fletcher Building Limited for the year
ended 30 June 2025.
Emissions – Limited Assurance Validation
Based on our examination of the validation evidence,
nothing comes to our attention which causes us to believe
that reported assumptions do not provide a reasonable
basis for forecast emissions that are not fairly presented.
Further, in our conclusion:
+ the forecast is properly prepared on the basis of the
assumptions and in accordance with Aotearoa New
Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the
External Reporting Board (XRB);
Actual future emissions are likely to be different from the
forecast as the estimates are based on assumptions that may
change in the future, and since anticipated events frequently
do not occur as expected and the variation may be material.
Basis of verification opinion
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Scope of the assurance engagement
We have undertaken a verification and validation
engagement relating to gross GHG emissions, additional
required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and gross
GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation
uncertainty on the Climate Statements as indicated in the
table below for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 .
Additionally, our assurance engagement does not extend
to targets, emissions reduction progress or GHG liabilities,
of which details may be referenced within the table
below. The scope of emissions and level of assurance are
disclosed below.
Fletcher Building’s Climate Statements provide information
about the greenhouse gas emissions of the organisation for
the defined measurement period and is based on historical
and projected information. This information is stated in
accordance with the requirements of Standard ISO 14064-
1 Greenhouse gases – Part 1: Specification with guidance
at the organisation level for quantification and reporting of
greenhouse gas emissions and removals (ISO 14064-1:2018)
and Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard (2004).

Key matters
Key matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our assurance
engagement of the GHG disclosures. These matters were
addressed in the context of our assurance engagement
and in forming our opinion. We do not provide a separate
conclusion on these matters.
K E Y M AT TE RHOW KEY MATTERS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED
Biomass and biosolids
emissions calculations.
The complexity,
technical nature of the
underlying assumptions
used in the calculations
for biosolids and
biomass emissions
involves significant
judgment.
Changes in assumptions
and emission factors
can lead to significant
changes in emissions.
+We obtained an understanding of the
methodology and assumptions used in
the calculation of the emissions.
+We reviewed the methodology used to
determine the emission factors using an
expert.
+We assessed the reasonableness of
assumptions used.
+We traced the input data to supporting
documentation and reperformed the
calculation.
+We conducted a site visit to the Laminex®
plants in Gympie, Australia to observe
the process to ensure it reflects actual
operations and relates to the calculation.
+We reviewed the disclosures in the
climate statements.
No material findings or issues noted.
Other matters
Other matters that have not been disclosed in the GHG
disclosures, that in our judgement are relevant to the
intended users:
Comparative Information
+ The comparative GHG disclosures (that is GHG
disclosures for the periods ended 30 June 2018, 2023
and 2024) have not been the subject of an assurance
engagement undertaken in accordance with New
Zealand Standard on Assurance Engagements 1:
Assurance Engagements over Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Disclosures (‘NZ SAE 1’). These disclosures
are not covered by our assurance conclusion.
+ The comparative periods 30 June 2018, 2024 and 2023
have been assured in prior periods in a separate Toitū
Envirocare assurance engagement in accordance with
ISO 14064-3:2019 issued by International Organization
for Standardization.
Responsible Party’s Responsibilities
Fletcher Building Limited is responsible for the preparation
of the GHG disclosure in accordance with Aotearoa
New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs) - issued by
External Reporting Board (XRB), ISO 14064-1:2018 and
GHG Protocol. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal controls
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of a GHG
disclosure that is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
The forecast of GHG emissions included within the GHG
disclosures are based on the following assumptions:
+ Assumptions used for forecast GHG emissions for
GHG Emissions Category 5 on page 68
Inherent Uncertainity
As disclosed in paragraph “Assessment criteria for sources
and uncertainties” on page 50, 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.
Responsibilities of verifiers and validators
Our responsibility as verifiers is to express a verification
opinion to the agreed level of assurance on the inventory
report, based on the evidence we have obtained and
in accordance with the audit criteria. We conducted
our verification engagement as agreed in the pre-audit
engagement letter, which defines the scope, objectives,
criteria and level of assurance of the verification.
Our responsibility as validators is to express an opinion
on the forecast based on our validation. We conduct our
validation in accordance with the ISO specification with
guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse
gas statements, i.e. ISO 14064-3. This International
Standard requires that we plan and perform the validation
to reach a conclusion as to whether the forecast in the
GHG statement is based on reasonable assumptions.
The International Standard ISO 14064-3:2019 requires that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the verification and validation to obtain the agreed level of
assurance that the GHG emissions are free from material
misstatements. We are not permitted to prepare the GHG
statement as this would compromise our independence.
83 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is
not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance
with the ISO 14064-3:2019 Standards will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. The procedures
performed on a limited level of assurance vary in nature
and timing from, and are less in extent compared to
reasonable assurance, which is a high level of assurance.
Misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts or
disclosures, and can arise from fraud or error.
Misstatements are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the decisions of readers, taken on the basis of the
information we audited.
Existence of relationships
Toitū has also provided other services to Fletcher Concrete
& infrastructure Limited T/A Golden Bay® in relation to
the selling of 3,000 carbon credits in August 2024, to
Fletchers Steel Limited Climate Impact programme
certification membership only. In addition, we provided
review services around setting Science Based Targets.
We did not provide services in terms of setting targets.
Subject to certain restrictions, our employees may also
deal with the responsible party on normal terms within the
ordinary course of trading activities. The existence of these
relationships has not impaired our independence.
Independence and quality management standards applied
This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance
with NZ SAE 1 Assurance Engagements over Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Disclosures issued by the External Reporting
Board (XRB). 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:
+ ISO 14065: 2020 – General principles and
requirements for bodies validating and verifying
environmental information;
+ ISO 14066: 2023 – Greenhouse gases — Competence
requirements for teams validating and verifying
environmental information;
+ ISO 17029: 2019 – Conformity assessment — General
principles and requirements for validation and
verification bodies;
+ IAF MD4:2023 - For the Use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing/
Assessment Purposes;
+ Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New
Zealand Accreditation Requirements
Verification strategy
Our verification strategy used a combined data and
controls testing approach. Evidence-gathering procedures
included but were not limited to:
+ activities to inspect the completeness of the inventory;
+ interviews of site personnel to confirm operational
behaviour and standard operating procedures;
+ sampling of fuel records to confirm accuracy of
source data into calculations;
+ recalculation of biomass emissions;
+ site visit to Laminex® plant Australia;
+ reviewing emission factors for accuracy and
appropriateness;
+ detailed retracing of LPG consumption;
+ reconciliation of electricity consumption, natural gas,
acetylene, waste-end-of-life-tyres, light fuel oil records
and steel purchases;
+ reconciliation of coal used to production records.
The data examined during the verification were historical
in nature.

Responsible party’s greenhouse gas assertion (claim)
Fletcher Building Limited has measured its greenhouse
gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting
Standard (2004) in respect of the operational emissions
of its organisation on an equity share basis for the
organisational boundary.
Other Information
The responsible party has a duty for the provision of
Other Information. The Other Information may include
Climate Statements around governance, strategy and risk
management, emissions management, liabilities, targets,
reduction plans and full annual report but does not include
the information we verified, and our auditor’s opinion thereon.
We have not performed any procedures with respect to
the excluded information and, therefore, no conclusion is
expressed on it. Our responsibility is to read and review
the Other Information, and consider whether the Other
Information is materially inconsistent with the information we
verified or our knowledge obtained during the verification.

Cautionary Statement
The metrics, particularly targets, projections, forecasts
and other forward-looking metrics used in this report
should be treated with caution, in particular given the
uncertainty around the evolution and impact of climate
change and around broader factors, such as impacts and
dependencies on nature.
These metrics include but are not limited to estimates
of historical emissions and of historical climate change
and forward-looking climate and nature-related metrics
and estimated climate and nature-related projections
and forecasts.
Any forward-looking statements included in these
statements are current only as at the date of this reporting
period (30 June 2025), and should be treated with special
caution. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on
forward-looking statements in these statements.
Current, historic and future information in these statements
relates to the continuing operations of Fletcher Building.
Although the forward-looking statements prepared or
adopted by Fletcher Building and included in these
statements are based on management’s current
expectations, they are not certain and involve judgements,
attitudes, known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, many of which are beyond Fletcher
Building’s control, which may be affected by variables
which may cause actual results, performance, conditions,
circumstances, outcomes or the ability to meet
commitments and targets contained in Fletcher Building’s
forward-looking statements to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in such statements. Fletcher Building

officers, directors, employees or agents. The forward-
looking statements in these statements should be read in
the context of the variables, risks, uncertainties and other
factors outlined in this notice or mentioned elsewhere in
these statements.
The climate-related scenarios used in scenario analysis
are not intended to be probabilistic or predictive. Scenario
analysis is a process for exploring the effects of a range
of plausible future events under conditions of uncertainty.
Engaging in this process helps Fletcher Building identify
its climate-related risks and opportunities and develop a
better understanding of the resilience of its business model
and strategy. These statements, including the Appendices,
set out the methods and assumptions underlying the
climate-related scenarios used, and the scenario analysis
employed. Readers are cautioned in their use of such
information in these statements and reminded that it is
important to understand the limitations applicable to the
information presented.
Words or phrases such as ‘will’, ‘should’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’,

86 / Fletcher Building Climate Statements 2025
statements to reflect changes to relevant risks, inputs,

understanding of them. Forward-looking statements may
be affected by a number of uncertainties and factors,
including but without limitation:
• a lack of common definitions and standards for
climate-related data;
• the availability and quality of historical emissions data;
• a lack of transparency and comparability of climate-
related forward-looking methodologies;
• variation in climate-related approaches, methodologies
and outcomes;
• limitations of climate scenario analysis and the models
that analyse them;
• calculations of forward-looking metrics are complex
and require many methodological choices and
assumptions, including the assistance of one or more
external data and methodology providers;
• uncertainty and changes to climate-related policy, laws
and regulations;
• climate change disclosures are prone to inherent
uncertainty and these statements reflects new legal
requirements;
• climate change reporting is subject to ongoing
changes as the circumstances and impact of a
transition to a low-emissions economy and climate
change develop in New Zealand and across the world
over a long period of time;
• climate-data, modelling and methodology is rapidly
evolving, which may directly or indirectly affect the
metrics and data points used in the preparation of,
and the targets contained in, these statements; and
• changes arising out of market practices and standards,
including emerging and developing ESG standards.
Climate-related disclosures made in these statements
are subject to risk factors associated with, amongst
other things, decarbonisation technologies, government
action, consumer attitudes and potentially carbon
products and markets. Readers are also reminded that
Fletcher Building’s business and plans are subject to risks
that may cause actual results to differ materially from
forward-looking statements.
