About the FY26 2degrees Sustainability Report

This Sustainability Report presents 2degrees' inaugural public Climate-related Disclosures and has been prepared by 2degrees (NZ) Holdings Pty Limited as the reporting entity for the purposes of Chapter 2M of the Australian Corporations Act 2001. These Climate-related Disclosures have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) S2 Climate-related Disclosures for the year ended 30 June 2026.

While the reporting entity is incorporated in Australia, it operates as a holding company for the 2degrees Group, whose primary business operations, employees and assets are located in New Zealand. Accordingly, these Climate-related Disclosures principally reflect the operations of the 2degrees Group in New Zealand.

This Report has been filed with, and is intended to be read together with, the Company's Annual Financial Report, Directors' Report and related auditor's reports prepared under the Corporations Act 2001. It is not intended to be read or relied upon in isolation. These Climate-related Disclosures relate to the same reporting entity and reporting period as the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026. All figures are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD), consistent with those financial statements. To the extent practicable and consistent with the Standards, the data and assumptions used in preparing these Climate-related Disclosures are aligned with those used in preparing the financial statements. Where significant differences exist, these are identified within the Report.

Information on Scope 3 emissions and progress against Scope 3 emissions reduction targets is included in 2degrees' voluntary FY26 Community Impact Report and does not form part of these Climate-related Disclosures.
