4. F20 and F21 scope 1+2 emissions have been re-stated to reflect changes in the composition of Woolworths Group. Calculated scope 1 emissions for F22 increased vs F21 due to (1) the incorporation of F22 transport refrigerants (with equivalent data not available in F21), and (2) the use of revised refrigerant emission factors in F22 (from IPCC, Climate Change 2021: Sixth Assessment Report AR6). Combined, these two factors added 64 ktCO₂e to F22 scope 1 emissions, and resulted in total scope 1+2 emissions being relatively flat year-on-year. On a like-for-like basis (excluding transport refrigerants and using common refrigerant emission factors), F22 scope 1+2 emissions would have decreased by -3% vs F21.

5. The 2015 emissions baseline has been re-stated to reflect changes in the composition of Woolworths Group, and the reduction percentage vs the 2015 baseline adjusted accordingly.

6. There is a moderate degree of overlap with scope 1 emissions. Purchased items not for resale to consumers are not included and, while expected to be a small proportion of overall scope 3 emissions, will be investigated further in future years.

7. In line with RE100 and CDP reporting guidelines, renewable electricity is only counted when (1) renewable energy certificates are surrendered, (2) supply from the grid is supported by renewable energy certificates, such as the Renewable Energy Target (RET) in Australia, or (3) the default renewable electricity supply from the grid exceeds 95%. In Australia, renewable electricity reported for F22 is mainly a result of the grid supply through the RET. In New Zealand, despite high levels of default renewable energy, the criteria above are not met and consumed electricity is reported as non-renewable.

8. Includes Australian Woolworths supermarkets and excludes Metro Food Stores in Australia and Countdown in New Zealand, BIG W, healthylife and PFD. Analysis covers more than 96% of sales of products for which the HSR system is intended or permitted, including packaged and unpackaged foods. We are working with our suppliers to increase HSR data in our master data and on pack. Where HSR data is not provided, we estimate HSR based on available nutrition information and similar products in the category. As HSR data improves, our HSR measure and baseline will be refined. Calculations are based on sales, with the intention of moving to a volume based metric in future years.

9. Both the Australian Government’s Healthy Food Partnership and the New Zealand Heart Foundation’s HeartSAFE targets aim to reduce the amount of saturated fat, sodium and sugar in manufactured and processed food and drinks

10. All fresh red meat meets our Woolworth’s Animal Welfare Policy, with ongoing work to define sustainable protein.

11. All Woolworths own brand fresh chicken and chicken used as an ingredient in Woolworths own brand products comes from RSPCA approved farms. All Macro free range fresh pork is certified APIQ Free Range standard in Australia.

12. We have sourced Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS) credits to offset the residual, non-certified volumes of palm oil and direct soy in our own brand food supply chain.

13. Includes own brand products where packaging is within the control of Woolworths Group in Australia. Our target - to reduce virgin plastic packaging weight by 50% by the end of 2024 - is based on a 2018 baseline for Australia and a 2020 baseline for NZ.

14. Collections from customers which are transformed into new products by our recycling partners. Includes plastic from products sold by Woolworths and other retailers / sources.
