SDG

WHAT AUB GROUP IS DOING AND WHERE IS OUR FOCUS

We make efforts to manage our environmental footprint. This includes measure such as carbon offsetting, switching to renewable energies and measuring our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. We carbon offset our business travel emissions. We are committed to net zero emissions by 2050 for wholly owned group entities. We are working to improve how we measure and report on our environmental impacts and our long-term approach to mitigate climate change, including by developing our ESG reporting to comply with a globally accepted ESG reporting standard by FY24.

2. ESG BALANCE SCORECARD AUB Group have committed to a range of short to longer term ESG targets, as reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors. These targets support our wider ESG strategy, as well as our contribution to the UN SDGs. AUB Group is comprised of a number of controlled entities, who are either fully owned or majority owned entities. Some of our targets range from group wide or with initial focus on wholly owned entities and commitment to expand the target to all controlled entities in the subsequent year. Our balanced scorecard represents our commitments for FY23 and our progress against these.

Environmental Governance (Environment)

Extend renewable energy and carbon offset model to others in the Group

During the year, additional group entities switched to 100% renewable energy usage in their offices. In FY23, 38% of the Group’s energy usage was from renewable resources. We are committed to continuing to rollout the renewable energy model to additional entities in the Group and increasing our renewable energy usage. AUB head office entities and Tysers currently are part of carbon offsetting programs, offsetting 100% of scope 3 emissions from business flights. Tysers began carbon offsestting in July 2022 and AUB head office entities from October 2022. We will extend carbon offsetting to other entities in the Group during FY24.
