A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
We are pleased to present the 2026 Climate-Related Disclosure Report for Delegat Group Limited and its

subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Delegat”).

It is our view we have a responsibility to operate the group efficiently and to demonstrate care for the company’s

people, customers, suppliers, local communities and the natural ecosystems we depend on. As climate-related

risks intensify globally, Delegat recognises the importance of aligning our business with the transition to a low

carbon economy.

This is the third year in which we have published climate-related disclosures in alignment with the Aotearoa

New Zealand Climate Standards. Following announced changes to the reporting thresholds under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013, these disclosures will no longer be mandatory for Delegat if the proposed threshold

changes are enacted. The Group has prepared this Climate Statement having regard to the climate-related

disclosure regime as it currently applies, and to the Financial Markets Authority’s ‘no-action’ approach pending

legislative change. We have elected to continue reporting on a voluntary basis to support informed business

and investment decision-making and ensure climate-related risks and opportunities remain embedded in our

governance and strategic processes. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous

improvement as we respond to the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.

Our Board maintains active oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities, supported by the Delegat Senior

Leadership Team and external experts. We continue to review these risks and opportunities annually, ensuring

our strategic decisions are informed by robust climate analysis and aligned with industry best practice.

Delegat’s sustainability framework supports a broad range of initiatives designed to deliver positive environmental,

social, and governance outcomes across the business. A central pillar of this framework is our focus on reducing

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2026, total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 3,970 tCO2e, representing

an 18% reduction from the 2021 base year. This reduction was achieved while the total company-owned planted

vineyard area increased by 26% over the same period.

Within Scope 3 emissions, Delegat continued to advance key emissions reduction initiatives in FY26, including

the transition to 100% locally sourced glass supply and ongoing bottle-weight optimisation. As a result, total

emissions from glass decreased by 40% in FY26 compared with FY25 and by 69% compared with the FY21 base

year. Shipping freight emissions per bottle sold also decreased by 28% compared with FY21. These actions are

consistent with our broader commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, in alignment with relevant

industry benchmarks.

1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Reporting entity

This Group Climate-related Disclosure covers the period of 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. It complements the 2026

Delegat Annual report which contains information on the Group’s financial and business performance and can be

found at: www.delegat.com/investor-information.

Basis of preparation

The disclosures in the report have been prepared in alignment with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards

(CS 1, 2 and 3) and are presented on a voluntary basis. The New Zealand Government announced changes in

October 2025 to the reporting thresholds for listed issuers by proposed amendment to the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. The Financial Markets Authority (“FMA”) has indicated a “no-action approach” for affected

entities pending legislative change. Consistent with this position, the Group has prepared this Climate Statement

having regard to the existing climate-related framework and FMA’s guidance. Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas

emissions disclosed in this report have not been subject to an independent limited assurance.

The Group has applied available adoption provisions under New Zealand CS 2 where appropriate, including:

• Adoption provision 2: anticipated financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities, time horizons

over which these occur and explanation of why quantitative information is not able to be provided;

• Adoption provision 4: disclosure of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions;

• Adoption provision 5: comparative information for Scope 3 GHG emissions;

• Adoption provision 8: Scope 3 GHG emissions assurance.

Reasonable care and forward-looking statements

This report contains forward-looking climate-related statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties,

many of which are outside of the control of Delegat. They should not be considered a prediction or forecast of

performance outcomes.

This report has been prepared with due consideration of the need for a fair presentation using assumptions

about the company’s current business and future plans, as well as assumptions around the physical environment

currently and in the future.

The identified climate related risks and opportunities may not eventuate and if they do, the actual impacts may

differ materially from these estimates.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK
Delegat has a longstanding commitment to sustainability and a history of driving environmental sustainability

initiatives across its business. The Group has a Sustainability Strategy that helps drive positive environmental

and social outcomes and reduces risk in various parts of the business.

The Delegat Sustainability Framework was developed by the Sustainability and Climate Change Steering

Committee (SCCC) who engaged with external sustainability consultancy advisors. The board approved this

framework in 2022. It focuses on three key areas:

1. Building an enduring wine business (addressing climate risk and greenhouse gas emissions, shareholder

value, risk & governance, and water stewardship);

2. Our people and community thrive (encompassing health, safety & wellbeing, diversity, inclusion & equity,

and engagement, employment, & collaboration); and

3. Crafting wine with care (covering biodiversity, waste & packaging, and sustainable growing & production).

The Delegat values of Winning Together, Aim High, and Mastery are explicitly linked to the Sustainability

Framework, anchoring the strategy to a strong, values-based approach that will resonate with the Delegat

team internally and establishes a robust, ethical foundation for our external stakeholders. This framework

encompasses various initiatives aimed at promoting positive environmental, social, and governance outcomes.

3. GOVERNANCE
This section includes a summary of the Delegat governance and management structures that are in place to

manage climate-related risks and opportunities.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

3.1 BOARD OVERSIGHT OF CLIMATE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The Board of Delegat Group Limited holds the responsibility for the Group’s strategic direction and safeguarding

and enhancing the interests of Shareholders and other stakeholders. This responsibility encompasses the

oversight of risk management, including risks associated with climate change. The Board’s mandate includes

identifying, assessing, monitoring, and managing climate-related matters. The Board meets formally a minimum

of six times during the financial year, with additional sessions scheduled as needed to address specific matters

that may arise. At least annually, the Board is informed specifically about climate-related risks and opportunities.

The Audit and Risk Board Sub-Committee (ARC) oversees the framework of internal control mechanisms that

secure the proper management of the Group’s operations. These controls include designs towards safeguarding

of assets, maintaining proper accounting records, complying with legislation, ensuring the reliability of financial

information, and assessing and reviewing business operational risks. The committee advises and supports the

Board in discharging its responsibility with respect to financial reporting, tax planning, compliance, and risk

management practices of the Group. As part of these responsibilities the ARC has oversight of climate-related

risks and opportunities. It assists the Board towards identifying, assessing, monitoring, and managing these

risks and opportunities. It reviews the Group’s climate-related metrics and targets, and annual climate-related

disclosures, before recommending them to the Board for approval.

3.2 BOARD SKILLS AND COMPETENCE
The Board endeavours to maintain the necessary skills and capabilities to provide oversight of climate-related

risks and opportunities. All Directors are required to be members of the Institute of Directors and to engage in

continuous education to remain current on how to best perform their responsibilities, including staying informed

of changes and trends in climate-related issues and governance.

To enhance decision-making, the Board also leverages the climate-related expertise of the Delegat Senior

Leadership Team and consults independent external consultants as required. Should there be significant

changes in climate-related risks or regulations, the Board holds sessions to brief members on new requirements,

proposed responses, and the impact on Delegat.

An updated Board Skills Matrix was completed in 2025, which includes sustainability and environmental

expertise. This is published in the Delegat Group Limited 2026 Annual Report.

3.3 MANAGEMENT’S ROLE IN ASSESSING AND MANAGING CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND

OPPORTUNITIES

The board assigns the day-to-day leadership and management of climate-related risks and opportunities to the

Senior Leadership Team. The Senior Leadership Team have oversight of the Delegat Sustainability Framework,

including climate-related initiatives and targets, and climate-related reporting. Remuneration for the Senior

Leadership team is linked to an individual’s contribution to the business, incorporating the achievement of targets

established under the Group’s Sustainability Framework, which includes climate-related initiatives.

Delegat has established a Sustainability and Climate Change Steering Committee (SCCC), chaired by the

Sustainability and Technical Support Manager and comprising four members of the Senior Leadership Team,

including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Group People & Culture Manager, and Group

Operations Manager.

The SCCC meets monthly to identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks, opportunities and initiatives.

The committee progress the integration of climate change risks and opportunities into business strategy, risk

management, financial planning, and capital allocation decisions.

All climate-related targets and metrics are developed by the SCCC and are informed by the Group’s identified

climate-related risks and opportunities. These targets and metrics are reviewed annually by the ARC, who

subsequently recommend them to the Board for approval.

The Senior Leadership Team maintains an enterprise-wide Risk Register, reviewed annually by the ARC, with the

outcomes reported to the Board. The Group’s climate-related risks and opportunities are incorporated in the

Group’s Risk Register, and the consideration of these risks and opportunities are a standing agenda item at all Risk

Register reviews. During this process, the SCCC seeks to identify and understand any significant changes to the

climate change landscape that could introduce new risks or opportunities that may impact on Group’s strategy.

The SCCC also advises on, monitors and gives feedback in climate-related disclosure records, and prepares

Delegat’s annual climate-related disclosures, which are approved by the ARC.

3.4 MONITORING TARGETS

The ARC meets at least four times a year, with additional meetings as required. These meetings include reviewing

progress against goals and targets set under the Group’s Sustainability Framework twice per year. Additionally, the

ARC discusses climate-related issues at meetings as required. During these meetings, updates on sustainability

and climate-related initiatives are presented by the SCCC. ARC proceedings are subsequently reported to the

Board by the ARC Chair at the next Board meeting.

Annually, the SCCC presents an ESG report to the Board, detailing progress against the Group’s Sustainability

Framework targets and proposing targets and metrics for the next financial year for Board approval.

4. STRATEGY
4.1 CURRENT BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY

The Delegat strategy is to create long-term value as a leading global Super Premium wine company. Sustainability

is a cornerstone for the Group, reflecting its strong leadership role in sustainable winegrowing and production

practices. The Delegat Sustainability Framework provides a strategy focusing on long-term sustainability,

resilience and sound governance.

4.2 APPROACH TO SCENARIO ANALYSIS

Developed in 2024, the Group employs scenario analysis to identify possible climate-related risks and

opportunities that may affect our business over the next 50 years. Delegat continues to use three climate

change scenarios that are in line with the Agri-Adaptation Roadmap. In 2023, the New Zealand agricultural sector

collaborated to produce an Agri-Adaptation Roadmap to guide the sector’s adaptation to climate change. The

roadmap uses three climate-related scenarios to describe plausible futures for agriculture in New Zealand when

impacted by different physical and transitional factors. The Agri-Adaption Roadmap is the most widely accepted

set of scenarios for the agricultural sector in New Zealand and is supported by robust and tested assumptions,

and references the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2018 report on Global Warming of 1.5°C.

These scenarios use both Representative Concentration Pathways and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways.

Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) detail future emissions of greenhouse gases and related climate

impacts and have been formally adopted by the IPCC. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) were developed

to study how societal, demographic and economic changes globally might change over the next century and

influence various emissions scenarios. SSPs were defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on climate

change in 2021.

The RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 scenarios align with those used in Plant and Food Research’s June 2022 technical

paper, modelling the effect of climate change on land suitability for growing perennial crops. This paper included

sections dedicated to the impact of climate change on Sauvignon Blanc grapes in New Zealand. In 2024,

members of the SCCC met with Plant and Food scientists involved in preparing the technical paper to facilitate

a comparison between Plant and Food’s risk assessment methodology and the methodology used by Delegat.

Additionally, the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios align with the Barossa Water Security Strategy prepared in 2022,

addressing the impact of climate change on the Barossa Valley region and sourcing information from Climate

Change in Australia, Climate Ready-SA and NARCliM. We also reviewed the RDA Barossa Region Climate Change

Adaptation Plan from 2014.

The SCCC conducted Climate Scenario analysis in 2024, evaluating climate-related risks and opportunities

against the three identified climate scenarios. The climate scenarios and analysis were reviewed by the ARC

and subsequently approved by the Board. In 2025, the Group enhanced its scenario analysis by incorporating

updated climate projections form the Ministry for the Environment Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Projections

Insights published in September 2024, and the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. In 2026, scenarios analysis

has been further refined using insights from the 2026 National Climate Change Risk Assessment for Aotearoa

New Zealand. Scenarios will continue to be reviewed and updated as climate science and industry-specific

data evolve.

Description

This scenario follows an

immediate but orderly

transition to Net Zero. It

assumes decisive and

coordinated action intended

to keep the global mean

temperature to warming

within 1.5°C. Both physical

and transition risks are

relatively subdued. A global

net zero emissions economy is

achieved by 2050.

This scenario follows a

disorderly transition with

delayed and uncoordinated

global efforts and emissions

reductions until 2030. From

2030 aggressive responses

are required to keep the global

mean temperature to within

2.0°C. Consequently, physical

and transition risks are higher.

This scenario follows a business

as usual approach where no

further policies are introduced

to address climate change. The

physical impacts of climate

change are severe with some

irreversible changes. The global

mean temperature will rise to

more than 3.0°C.

By the end of the century, most

of the North Island is expected

to have substantial losses in

suitability, and these losses also

affect Marlborough.

Most of the South Island

is expected to have gains

in suitability by the end of

the century, some of them

substantial, and Canterbury

and parts of Otago overtake

Marlborough in suitability.

Drought and irrigation

Pathway Assumptions
These pathways illustrate a broad spectrum of climate outcomes and should not be seen as forecasts or policy

recommendations. They encompass a wide range of assumptions regarding population growth, economic

development, technological innovation and attitudes to social and environmental sustainability. Each pathway

can be met by a combination of different socioeconomic assumptions as per the IPCC’s SSP-RCP scenarios.

Limitations of Scenarios

Climate scenarios give some insights to the impacts the business may face because of climate change. They are

created with assumptions and projections based on the best information available at the time. These assumptions

may not reflect actual outcomes and are not intended to present a definitive view of the future.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

5.1 CLIMATE RISK IDENTIFICATION

The climate change analysis for Delegat considers three potential future scenarios.

These scenarios help Delegat identify ways to reduce the impact of climate change and build climate resilient

business strategies and operations.

We have considered the impact of each scenario over a 50-year time horizon, which aligns generally with the

lifetime of our vineyard and winery assets.

5.2 PROCESS TO ASSESS CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The Delegat risk management process includes identifying and managing risks, including climate-related risks,

to support the Group’s business objectives and strategy. This process comprises five steps:

Stage 1: Identification

New climate-related physical risks and opportunities are identified, and existing ones are reviewed during the

Group’s annual risk review undertaken by the Senior Leadership Team, with input from internal or external

experts as needed. This review encompasses all parts of the Delegat value chain. An annual workshop for the

SCCC facilitates climate scenario analysis, examining climate-related risks and opportunities against the three

identified climate scenarios.

Stage 2: Analysis

Climate-related risks are analysed against the Group’s climate change scenarios and time horizons using the

Delegat Risk Matrix. The Risk Matrix rating for all of the Group’s risks, including climate-related risks, determines

their level of priority for action required by management and the Board. Opportunities are analysed to determine

their potential benefit to the business.

DELEGAT LIMITED CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE REPORT 2026

11

Stage 3: Evaluation
The effectiveness of existing controls for managing each risk are evaluated and new controls are considered

where required. The remaining risk after the effective operation of controls is considered the residual risk.

Opportunities for each scenario are assessed to determine those which could present the most benefit for the

business.

Stage 4: Treat Risk

For each residual risk, an assessment is made to either:

• Accept the risk and make a conscious decision not to take any action.

• Accept the risk but take some actions to lessen or minimise likelihood or impact.

• Transfer the risk to another individual or organisation (e.g. through insurance) where possible.

• Eliminate the risk by ceasing to perform the activity causing it.

Stage 5: Escalation

The severity of the residual risk rating determines which climate-related risks are escalated via the SCCC to

the ARC. Climate-related opportunities that could deliver material benefits for the Group are escalated to the

Board. The Board consider their feasibility, and if appropriate, determine support, funding and actions required

to capitalise on these opportunities.

5.3 MONITORING AND REVIEW

Climate-related risks and opportunities, controls, action plans and owners are documented and monitored through

the Delegat risk management process. All climate-related risks and opportunities will be reviewed annually by the

Senior Leadership Team and integrated into the Delegat Risk Register. Climate-related reporting requirements,

supporting documentation and changes to regulations are captured in the company’s risk management system

and monitored on an ongoing basis.

5.4 CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Climate-related risks and opportunities are defined below.

Physical Risks:

Physical climate change risks encompass both acute and chronic impacts resulting from shifts in climatic

conditions. Acute risks involve sudden and severe events such as cyclones and heatwaves, while chronic risks

include gradual changes such as sea level rise and altered precipitation patterns.

Transitional Risks:

Transitional climate change risks refer to the challenges and uncertainties associated with transitioning from a

high-carbon to a low-carbon economy. These risks include economic disruptions in sectors dependent on fossil

fuels, as well as opportunities and challenges in emerging clean energy industries. Additionally, transitional risks

encompass social and political implications, such as job displacement and retraining needs, shifts in energy

geopolitics, and changes in investor behaviour and regulatory landscapes. Effective management of these risks

necessitates proactive policies, strategic investments, and societal adaptation to facilitate a smooth and fair

transition towards sustainability.

Opportunities:

Climate-related opportunities encompass the potential benefits and advantages arising from addressing climate

change and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. These opportunities span investments in renewable energy

infrastructure, green technologies, and sustainable practices that drive economic growth, job creation, and

innovation. Additionally, climate action presents opportunities to enhance resilience, improve public health,

foster social equity, and preserve natural ecosystems. Embracing climate-related opportunities can lead to a

more sustainable and prosperous future for society.

5.5 TRANSITION PLANNING
Delegat’s transition planning is structured to address and manage the climate-related risks and opportunities

identified within the overall business strategy. Although no changes are planned for the Delegat business model or

the strategic goal to build a leading global Super Premium wine company, these key aspects address the climate-

related risks and opportunities identified within the four pillars that underpin the strategic plan, considering the

potential impacts on stakeholders and society.

Building climate resilience

In 2024, the Group conducted scenario analysis to identify potential climate-related risks and opportunities

that may impact its business over the next 50 years. These risks and opportunities are integrated into related

management processes and are reviewed annually to improve business and operational resilience against

climate change.

Projected changes in growing season temperatures will likely result in areas of Marlborough having increased

suitability for grape growing. The first harvest at the Birch Hill vineyard was completed in 2025, a development

block in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough. The selection of this site considered the long-term increase in suitability

of this area, based on projections and insights from research completed by Plant and Food Research and

historical weather data. Delegat continues to explore the diversification of growing regions.

Future water availability challenges for Delegat are significantly influenced by climate change and subsequent

government policy responses. Water stewardship is an important area of focus for Delegat, and the Group’s

transition planning includes continued investment in reservoirs and irrigation systems at vineyards, improvements

in measuring water requirements, increasing the efficiency of the Group’s water use and engagement in

regulatory processes around water allocation. A water availability risk assessment and mitigation strategy has

been established across all vineyard sites, with ongoing work to incorporate vine water use data and forecast

demand.

A climate-related opportunity is identified through climate and disease tolerant grape varietals. Delegat is an

industry participant in the seven-year Sauvignon Blanc Grapevine Improvement programme, led by the Bragato

Research Institute and in partnership with the Ministry for Primary Industries. This research will develop 12,000

entirely new variants of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with the goal of making the wine industry both more

resilient and more sustainable. The project aims to create, identify and select vines that display resilient traits

such as drought and frost resistance, and natural resistance to pests and diseases. Vines that either maintain

the iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wine flavour and aroma or offer novel Sauvignon Blanc styles to expand

market opportunities will be progressed.

Managing carbon emissions

Increasing carbon emission regulations and evolving customer expectations present both risks and opportunities.

Since 2021, Delegat has measured GHG emissions and set emissions reduction targets with a long-term emission

reduction target of Net Zero by 2050, aligning with New Zealand Winegrowers. The Group’s priority is to reduce

Scope 1 and 2 emissions through technology upgrades and energy efficiency projects. Detailed plans beyond

FY30 for achieving this target are not yet developed, as emission reduction past 2030 is reliant on suitable

technology becoming commercially available.

Approximately 90% of our carbon footprint comes from Scope 3 emissions. The largest sources are from

purchased goods and services and upstream freight. Initiatives include ongoing reductions in glass bottle weight

and collaboration with glass manufacturers to increase the use of sustainable energy and recycled content. Total

emissions from glass have reduced by 69% since FY21. Shipping freight emissions per bottle sold in FY26 have

reduced by 28%.

DELEGAT LIMITED CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE REPORT 2026

Delegat has planned transition initiatives to adopt technologies, improving energy efficiency, and drive
sustainable innovation as outlined below:

Transition InitiativesExpected ReductionsProgress to Date

All harvester machines were replaced for the 2024

vintage with new fuel-efficient, Euro 5 emissions

standards compliant machines.

These machines reduce diesel

usage per ha of producing area by

approximately 25%.

Completed in FY24.

The Group plans to replace its tractor fleet over

the next 5 years with modern fuel-efficient Euro 5

emissions standards compliant vehicles.

This programme will reduce tractor

diesel usage per hectare of planted

area by 25%.

19 tractors have been replaced and

30% of operational tractors now

have Tier 5 engines. 24 tractors to

be replaced in FY27. Average litres

diesel usage per hour for tractors

with Tier 5 engines was 28% lower

than other company tractors.

The Group plans to replace its Marlborough winery

cooling plant with new technology for increased

cooling/production capacity. It will utilise modern

heat recovery technology to produce all hot water

requirements on site, eliminating the need for

diesel-fuelled hot water heating.

The carbon emission reduction will

be at least the fuel usage reduction

versus the current cooling plant.

Deferred to FY28 due to capital

deployment prioritisation.

The Group plans to replace diesel electricity

generation at its Birch Hill vineyard to lines

electricity.

5% reduction in Marlborough

viticulture diesel use.

Planned FY30


(dependent on Marlborough Lines

capital infrastructure investment).

The Group will continue with ongoing bottle weight

reductions using lightweight glass.

Target to reduce total emissions

from glass production by 45%.

Reductions in bottle weight

subsequently reduce freight

emissions.

94% of products in 390g bottle

in FY26. Weight reductions also

introduced for Sparkling and

Barossa Valley Estate bottles, with

average bottle weight in FY26 399

grams, compared to 480 grams in

FY21.

The Group is working with glass manufacturers to

use more sustainable energy sources in their glass

furnaces, and to transition to more New Zealand

supplied bottles.

Target to reduce total emissions

from glass production by 45%.

The Group transitioned to 100%

locally sourced glass supply in

FY26. This resulted in a reduction

of 1900 tCO2 emissions from FY25

associated with transporting the

bottles prior to bottling. Higher

percentage of recycled content

in glass bottles reduced glass

emissions by 40% from FY25, and

69% from FY21.

Navigating increased regulations and access to markets

With increasing carbon emission regulations, Delegat must collaborate with suppliers to reduce Scope 3

emissions. Access to specific markets could be reduced as regulations are introduced or they prioritise or require

wines with certain certifications. Ensuring compliance with environmental reporting requirements remains a

priority to safeguard market access and maintain competitiveness.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes in global markets requires increased reporting of packaging

data and paying of EPR fees. Several U.S. states have passed packaging EPR laws in recent years and the UK

government has expanded regulated payment for the EPR scheme from October 2025. Delegat continues to

work with suppliers and industry partners to seek ways to optimise our packaging and innovate the value chain

to decarbonise goods and services, while preparing for increased compliance costs.

Growing Capability and Engagement
Internal Capability

To ensure that climate-related risks and opportunities are effectively managed, Delegat is investing in internal

capability at all levels. The Board will be responsible for the oversight of transition planning. At a Board level, the

Sustainability and Climate Change Steering Committee (SCCC) ensure the directors are informed of changes

and trends in climate-related issues and governance.

Delegat’s SCCC, established in 2022, progress the integration of climate-related risks and opportunities into

business strategy, risk management, financial planning, and capital allocation decisions. All committee members

engage in continuous education to stay informed of changes and trends in climate-related issues and governance.

Members of the SCCC and other key personnel attend external industry sessions to continue to build knowledge.

The wine industry will need to collaborate to build shared knowledge and understanding on current and projected

risks, investigate industry solutions, and engage collectively with government and local councils. Delegat

is represented in the Marlborough Circular Wine Group, which acts in an advisory role to allow Council, Wine

Marlborough, New Zealand Winegrowers and key industry participants and suppliers to seek input and make

decisions on sustainability and circular economy issues facing the Marlborough wine industry. Delegat continues

to connect with others in the wine industry to investigate new vineyard technology and automation solutions to

improve environmental outcomes.

Engagement with all our teams is crucial, and every employee has the opportunity to contribute to the Delegat

sustainability initiatives through the work they do. An internal engagement programme is ongoing to increase the

understanding of the Delegat Sustainability Framework, helping educate teams and improve engagement and

involvement in the development and delivery of our sustainability initiatives and actions, including our emissions

reduction and adaptation plans. In 2024, specific sustainability questions were added to our annual Culture

Survey to allow us to benchmark our engagement with the framework company-wide and measure improvements.

In the November 2025 survey, 90% of respondents were aware of Delegat’s sustainability framework, and 86%

agree that Delegat is committed to minimising its impact on the environment (compared to the Qualtrics global

average of 61%).

Support Growers and Supply Chain to Transition

All growers are members of Sustainable Winegrowers NZ, through which they have the resources to measure

and reduce their largest sources of emissions such as diesel usage and electricity. The Delegat Grower Business

Development Programme supports our Growers to maintain best environmental practise in the vineyards and

Delegat holds annual grower meetings, which provides a platform to share climate knowledge as required.

Our value chain is critical to our adaptation and decarbonisation efforts. Delegat will continue to engage with our

supply chain to improve information collection and accuracy of emission factors. We are committed to support

and influence change where we can in our supply chain by actively engaging with our suppliers and are introducing

a supplier code of conduct in 2027 which includes expectations for environmental performance.

DELEGAT LIMITED CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE REPORT 2026

18

Engaging With Customers
Growing customer interest in sustainability is both a risk and an opportunity for Delegat. As the global focus on

environmental responsibility intensifies, several of our customers are setting ambitious decarbonisation and

sustainability targets for themselves and their supply chains. Consequently, they are increasingly requesting

detailed information on Delegat’s own sustainability goals, progress, and actions. In FY26, we met with UK and

Australian customers, and hosted key suppliers at our operations to focus on these topics. Delegat will continue

to work with our biggest customers to strengthen our relationships with these key accounts.

Capital Deployment

Certain funding decisions have been influenced by the identification of climate risks. The Group’s most significant

investments to date to mitigate climate risk is the investment in fuel efficient machinery and the development of

water storage reservoirs and irrigation systems to reduce the risk of crop loss due to drought conditions. Funding

decisions are assessed using a combination of cost/benefit and payback period analysis. Capital deployment in

relation to climate related initiatives in FY26 is detailed in the metrics and targets section.

While influenced, Delegat’s transition initiatives listed are not separately accounted for and have been

undertaken through the standard capital deployment process. Equipment selection considers carbon reduction

targets and transitional planning. Further capital spend may be required in the years ahead to support transition

aspects of our strategy independent of the capital replacement program. Future reporting years will provide

more information on estimated capital deployment towards climate-related transition plans.

6. METRICS AND TARGETS
6.1 SUSTAINABILITY METRICS AND TARGETS

Delegat establishes annual targets within its Sustainability Framework, which encompasses various social and

environmental initiatives, including emission reduction goals under the ‘We build an Enduring Wine Business’

pillar. Delegat’s climate-related risks and opportunities are taken into consideration when setting metrics and

targets.

6.2 GHG EMISSIONS

Delegat partners with Toitū Envirocare to prepare its annual GHG Inventory for scope 1 and 2 emissions. Emissions

data is collated and tracked throughout the financial year and includes information from third-party suppliers and

internal records. The GHG emissions have been measured in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol; A

Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) (‘GHG Protocol’). Where relevant, the inventory

is aligned with industry or sector best practice for emissions measurement and reporting.

All Scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated using emissions factors sourced by geographical region. Sources are

New Zealand Ministry for the Environment, MfE Guidance for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting 2026 (MfE,

2026), and Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, National Greenhouse

Accounts Factors 2025 (DCCEEW, 2025). Global Warming Potentials (GWP) are provided by the Toitū Programme

with those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) the preferred

GWP conversion. An operational control consolidation approach is used to account for emissions.

The current New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme Price was used when assessing our decarbonisation

initiatives for our internal abatement calculation. Remuneration policies do not directly link performance against

these metrics and targets.

Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for FY26 have not been subject to an independent limited assurance

engagement. In FY25, emissions were subject to limited assurance by Deloitte Limited. Delegat will continue

to maintain Toitū Carbon Reduce certification to support the quality and integrity of emissions reporting.

Management considers this approach provides an appropriate level of external validation given the voluntary

nature of the FY26 disclosure.

The GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete scientific knowledge used to

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

Delegat has utilised the exemption provisions in NZCS2 to not disclose scope 3 emissions (adoption provision 4).

The emissions metric tracked is tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO

2

e).

decrease of 18% from 2021. This reduction was driven by decreases in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Scope 1 emissions decreased by 15% since the base year. The largest source of direct emissions remains mobile

combustion, primarily vineyard diesel use which varies annually with different seasonal requirements due to

weather. Since 2021, Delegat has expanded the total company-owned planted vineyard area by 26%; on an intensity

basis, vineyard diesel emissions per planted hectare reduced by 15% over this period. The overall reduction in

Scope 1 emissions was principally supported by lower emissions from fertiliser use, which decreased by 70%, and

additions of lime to soils, which decreased by 81%. These reductions reflect lower levels of vineyard development

in FY26, and seasonal variations with ongoing integrated management programmes. Scope 2 location-based

emissions decreased by 28%, due to both reduced electricity consumption and the high availability of renewable

electricity generation in New Zealand during 2026.

6.3 EXPOSURE TO CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Vulnerability to Physical Risks

The Group’s viticulture operations are exposed to both chronic and acute climate events. Winemaking and supply

chain operations are also exposed to this risk due to the integrated value chain within the business.

As a conservative estimate, 100% of Delegat business activities are exposed to some degree of physical climate-

related risk.

Vulnerability to Transition Risks

The Group’s viticulture operations are currently the most exposed to climate-related regulation for viticultural

practices (e.g. fertiliser and water). The Group’s winemaking and supply chain operations have some exposure to

potential changes in climate-related regulations and shifts in consumer preferences.

As a conservative estimate, 100% of Delegat business activities are exposed to some degree of transitional

climate-related risk.

Climate-related Opportunities

The Group’s viticulture operations are the most exposed to climate-related opportunities, such as new areas

becoming suitable for growing grapes because of climate change.

6.4 CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT 2026 – TO ADDRESS CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND

OPPORTUNITIES

Certain funding decisions have been influenced by the identification of climate risks. The Group’s most significant

investments to date to mitigate climate risk is the investment in fuel efficient machinery and the development

of water storage reservoirs and irrigation systems to reduce the risk of crop loss because of drought conditions.

Funding decisions are assessed using a combination of cost/benefit and payback period analysis.

6.6 TARGETS AND EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS
The IPCC special report 2018 states “Limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C is projected to lower

the impacts on terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal ecosystems and to retain more of their services to humans.”

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires reaching net zero C02 globally around 2050, mitigating the worst

impacts of climate change through reducing vulnerability and exposure to its detrimental effects.

New Zealand Winegrowers, the national organisation for the country’s grape and wine sector, has a target to be

Carbon Neutral by 2050. In 2024, New Zealand Winegrowers, with support from EECA, prepared the Roadmap

to Net Zero 2050, outlining the key opportunities to reduce GHG emissions for the New Zealand wine industry.

These measures include improving energy efficiency, reducing diesel usage, decarbonising electricity, and

innovating the value chain to decarbonise goods and services. These initiatives will be guided by industry

emission reduction targets and actions. Similarly, Sustainable Winegrowing Australia has set 2050 Net Zero

targets for carbon emissions and waste. Delegat has aligned its emission reduction programme to these industry

benchmarks based on Science-Based Target methods, a framework that aligns with the 1.5°C pathway and is

consistent with the latest climate science. Progress to date against GHG targets does not include any offsetting

and the Group does not currently plan to use offsetting to achieve its net zero by 2050 target.

Currently, our emission reduction targets encompass scope 1 and 2, and we are developing additional targets for

Scope 3. Our objectives and programmes will evolve as more data becomes available and technologies advance.

The table below summarises our current targets.
