Emmissions Reduction Targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 46,757 tCO2e by 2028.
This is a reduction of 17%.

Year | Emissions (tCO2e)
2022 | 56,334
2025 | 48,196
2028 | 46,757
2030 | 31,998
2035 | 23,998
2040 | 15,999
2050 | 0

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since establishing our 2022 baseline. These initiatives have contributed to our emissions reduction.

Initiatives Completed 2022-2024:

• ESG Program Establishment - Comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance program launched in 2023 with quarterly steering committee governance and dedicated NorthStar Carbon Management platform for systematic tracking
• Supplier Engagement Excellence - Achieved 100% supplier sign-up to our Supplier Code of Conduct with environmental commitments (December 2024)
• Switch to LED lighting - Continued global rollout including Australia achieving 45% electricity consumption reduction
• Phased Green Power Implementation - 100% green power conversion in Australian operations, including purchase of auditable renewable energy certificates to offset employee commuting and homeworking
• Cardboard Shredder Installations in key global distribution centres - Reduced air pillows pack fill by repurposing inbound boxes and team members home cardboard waste into fill. Reduced waste to landfill and recycling as a result.
• Pack Size Project - Continued implementation of innovative customised packaging technology, with Performance Health among only 4 U.S.-based companies to deploy this solution, significantly reducing packaging and distribution emissions
• Sustainable Packaging Evolution - Enhanced initiatives in Australia with bleached cardboard eliminated, purpose-designed boxes using 70% recycled content meeting Forestry Standards, and consolidation reducing packaging requirements. Removed printed invoices from consignments and converted the picking slip pack from plastic to corn starch material
• Advanced Recycling Programs - Australia achieving 100% distribution centre shrink wrap diversion from landfill to recycling, with landfill waste collection frequency reduced by 50%
   
  Systematic Improvements: 
•  Data Quality Enhancement - Completed corrections to 2022 trucking data with improved collection methodologies
•  Energy Management Systems - Implementation of annual energy audits and management protocols
•  Employee Engagement - Enhanced awareness and training programs with ESG suggestion schemes and feedback mechanisms
  
  Results: Our systematic approach has delivered measurable results with total emissions reducing. This progress positions us well for our trajectory toward Net Zero by 2050.

In the future we hope to implement further measures as shown summarized by emissions category on the Decarbonization Plan below:

Decarbonization Plan
This plan represents the prioritization of emissions categories based on the scope of carbon emissions and ability to influence their reduction. Specific projects, programs and policies are detailed in each emissions category on slides 6-14 of the attached PH Carbon Reduction Plan Detail.

Declaration and Sign Off

Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.

Emissions have been reported and recorded in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the GHG Reporting Protocol corporate standard⁴ and uses the appropriate Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting^5.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been reported in accordance with SECR requirements, and the required subset of Scope 3 emissions have been reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard^6.

This Carbon Reduction Plan has been reviewed and signed off by the board of directors (or equivalent management body).
