117 SECTION 4 SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 Our Continuous Safety Journey While we celebrate the significant milestone of achieving zero LTIs in 2025, we remain vigilant and committed to our ultimate goal of Target Zero – the belief that all incidents are preventable. We have a robust process for investigating all incidents and near-misses, ensuring that key lessons are learned and formally shared across all our global sites through the issuance of safety alerts. This process of continuous learning is fundamental to our proactive culture and our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every member of the Wasco team returns home safely, every day. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) At Wasco, we believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce is a catalyst for innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth. We are committed to fostering an equitable environment where every employee feels valued, respected, and has the opportunity to reach their full potential. While our commitment to DEI is broad, a key focus area is improving gender diversity across all levels of the organisation. As of the end of 2025, women comprised 10% of our total workforce and 14% of our Senior Management Team. Recognising the need for focused, strategic action to accelerate progress, we were proud to launch a significant new initiative this year. Introducing the Wasco Women Action Network (“WWAN”) Launched in 2025, WWAN is our flagship platform dedicated to championing the development, advancement, and empowerment of women across the Group. Its mission is to cultivate an inclusive culture that provides women with the network, skills, and opportunities needed to thrive and succeed in their careers at Wasco. WWAN is built on six core pillars: • Career Growth: Equipping women with tools for skill development and leadership progression. • Equity Advocacy: Addressing and eliminating systemic workplace biases. • Supportive Communities: Building allyship and support systems that uplift women. • Authentic Leadership: Encouraging women to lead with their unique strengths. • Holistic Well-Being: Focusing on health, financial planning, and work-life balance. • Family Inclusivity: Fostering an environment that supports parents and caregivers equally. Our Progress and Key Activities in 2025 In its inaugural year, WWAN drove significant progress, underscored by our public commitment to become a signatory of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles. Key activities included: • Official Launch and Community Building: We officially launched WWAN on International Women’s Day, establishing a formal network to connect women across different divisions and geographies and fostering a strong sense of community. • “The Next Floor” Podcast Series: We launched “The Next Floor”, our new podcast featuring inspiring stories, career advice, and insights from leaders within Wasco and the wider energy industry. • Women in Leadership (“WiL”) Series: A cornerstone of our Career Growth pillar, we launched the WiL Series, a structured development programme for our female talent. The series engaged 60 participants through two key sessions: an online workshop in May, and a two-day, in-person event in June with dedicated tracks for Emerging Women Leaders and Top Women Leaders. The workshops focused on critical topics such as leadership skills, negotiation tactics, and personal branding, directly supporting the growth of our future leaders. Path Forward Building on the strong foundation and success of the WiL Series, WWAN will be the primary platform for our DEI initiatives in 2026. A key priority will be to launch our formal mentorship programmes, pairing participants from the WiL Series with senior leaders to provide ongoing guidance and career support. This will be complemented by our targeted recruitment strategies as we work towards achieving and exceeding our diversity goals. Human Rights and Labour Practices Respect for human rights is a fundamental principle that underpins our entire social strategy. We are committed to upholding the rights of our employees, contractors, and the communities where we operate, in full alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the core conventions of the International Labour Organization.
