How we work The Group Company Secretary (or their delegate) attends meetings as secretary to the Committee. The Chief Executive, Chief People Officer, Head of Reward and Head of Talent attend appropriate parts of the meetings at the invitation of the Committee Chair. No individual is in attendance during discussions about their own remuneration. Independent advisers The Committee has a protocol for engaging and working with remuneration consultants to ensure that “remuneration recommendations” (being advice relating to the elements of remuneration for KMP, as defined under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 ) are made free from undue influence by KMP to whom they may relate. We monitored compliance with these requirements throughout 2024. Deloitte, the appointed advisers to the Committee, gave declarations to the effect that any remuneration recommendations were made free from undue influence by KMP to whom they related. The Board has received assurance from the Committee and is satisfied that this was the case. Deloitte are members of the Remuneration Consultants’ Group, and voluntarily operate under its Code of Conduct (the Code) in relation to executive remuneration consulting in the UK. The Code is based upon principles of transparency, integrity, objectivity, competence, due care and confidentiality. Deloitte has confirmed that they adhered to the Code throughout
