Our sustainability framework

We have a broad range of stakeholders and believe we have a role to play in facilitating global logistics by delivering on our vision of “creating the operating system for global logistics”.

Materiality

For the purposes of developing a strategic approach to managing sustainability and aligning with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, we have determined our material issues by adopting the following four step process:

1. Identification

We engaged with our major stakeholders to identify the issues of greatest concern to them. Details of our stakeholder engagement program are set out below.

2. Assessment

We assessed the issues identified through a framework of independent third-party guidelines such as the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), peer benchmarking and our own analysis of the wider environmental, social and economic impact of the issues raised.

3. Materiality verification

We determined which issues raised by our stakeholders were material by further discussing the outcomes of our stakeholder engagement with relevant internal and external stakeholders.

4. Prioritization

Finally, we prioritized the sustainability issues based on the importance to our business and our stakeholder expectations.

Stakeholder engagement

Stakeholder engagement is key to our approach to sustainability. We have many different stakeholders we engage with in various ways on a regular basis every year.

Retail shareholders

We have dedicated staff in our corporate head office for responding to retail shareholder questions and feedback. We also communicate regularly with our retail shareholders via our website, email, mail‑outs and at our Annual General Meeting, which provides retail shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback directly to the Chairman, Board and CEO.

Institutional shareholders

Our Investor Relations team, CEO and CFO are available to answer questions or receive feedback from institutional investors. We meet with our institutional investors on a regular basis as part of our:

• post-results domestic and international roadshows;
• broker hosted investor briefing sessions; and
• regular meetings on an ‘as requested’ basis throughout the year.

Sell side analysts

Investment analysts are invited to participate via webcast or phone call in our half and full year results briefings during which they can ask questions of our CEO and CFO. These briefings are available to all shareholders to listen to live or on replay through the website.

Government

As an industry leader, WiseTech collaborates when appropriate with government consultation processes.

Community partners

Our community initiatives focus on three key areas: skills development, technology education and general community support. We engage with various community partners focused on each of these areas at both a corporate level and at an employee level via volunteering programs.

Suppliers

We engaged directly with more than 3,000 suppliers from approximately 50 different countries.
