Annual Integrated Report 2019

How we “ESG” our business – Environment Carbon emissions reporting Bidcorp is pleased to report a 1% decrease in total carbon emissions reported in 2019. Emissions reduced from 414 154 tCO 2 e in 2018 to 410 506 tCO 2 e. With total carbon emission reductions reported from three of our four divisions, this is a great achievement. Quarterly reporting improvements were noted in 2019, prioritising these topics in the minds of the Bidfood management. Reporting within the Europe and Emerging Markets divisions has improved, with more of these businesses able to measure and accurately report the consumption of carbon emission input elements, in particular refrigeration gas, contributing to a more complete carbon emission total. We are determined to improve these processes and the information reported going forward. The sustainability of our environment is a top priority for Bidcorp.

Petrol usage although small, was up in the UK as the business moved to hybrid vehicles, embracing the fuel efficiency of these part-petrol fuelled vehicles. • • Decreases in gas consumed for both Australasia and the UK have contributed to the gas reported, offset by the increase in Europe as we were able to gather a more complete set of data with all entities able to report gas usage in 2019. • • Improved reporting efforts implemented over the year have increased the reported gas and refrigeration tonnes consumed. A number of operations were unable to quantify these sums in the prior year, but with increased focus have been able to submit usage for 2019. • • Refrigeration gases are difficult to quantify as in most instances the maintenance of these facilities are outsourced, and serviced at irregular intervals with refills taking place intermittently. As a result the consumption is often over or understated in a comparative period due to cut off requirements. Bidfood is pleased to report the progress achieved in Scope 1 efficiencies over the past year.
