Future outlook We recognise that we are on a journey towards better understanding the climate-related risks and opportunities for our business. By the end of our next financial year, we will have developed Whistl’s first net-zero transition plan, which will further shape and guide our journey towards a low carbon economy. Following the development of this transition plan, we will review our climate-related metrics and targets and measure progress against our baseline, as well as review our greenhouse gas methodologies in line with best practice. As we develop our ESG Strategy and Net Zero Plan, we are continuously reviewing opportunities to broaden our climate-related metrics and targets such as those for energy, water, and waste. As part of this process, we are committed to ensuring a socially inclusive transition to net zero through ongoing and thorough engagement with our employees and key stakeholders. We understand that the climate crisis cannot be tackled alone, and we are working with our third party ESG consultancy to ensure that our business adopts well informed short-term decisions whilst considering climate-related opportunities and challenges in the medium and long- term strategic and financial planning. Health and Safety We have a comprehensive Health and Safety (H&S) framework which includes compliance with all major regulations, a set of policies and a set of KPIs to monitor implementation and effectiveness of H&S standards. Our application and adherence to our H&S standards in 2022 has enabled us to remain below the industry average for days lost through injury and lost time. Our integrated Safety, Health and Environmental Management System provides a framework for managing risk, driving continual improvement and maintaining a safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible workplace. We provide ongoing inductions and training for all our staff and visitors to site. We also provide regular refresher training on key priorities and general SHE standards. In 2022 we implemented a new reporting system to include the whole of the business.
