We acknowledge that we can always do better.
While Wesfarmers’ workforce is made up of 54 per cent women and 46 per cent men, a key opportunity for the Group is to increase the percentage of leadership positions held by women.
Despite our efforts, ongoing reduction in waste disposed and water use is hard to maintain as our businesses continue to grow. We will continue to seek opportunities to do this.
We will continue to focus on ethical sourcing and human rights, especially supply chain transparency. Strengthening our relationships with suppliers ensures that we can contribute positively in this area.
We will continue to focus on climate change resilience, especially energy efficiency. Wesfarmers is committed to minimising its own footprint and to deliver solutions that help its customers and the community do the same.
