Wesfarmers Industrial and Safety

Industrial and Safety has made positive progress against its sustainability commitments. The key safety measure, TRIFR, continued its long-term positive trend with a reduction of 45 per cent to 1.82, and there have been zero own-brand product recalls. The division continued its positive trends in diversity and inclusion and strengthened its internal approach to reconciliation, which centres on engagement, employment and procurement.

Waste-reducing packaging changes, increased adoption of renewable energy and other initiatives supported the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions by 5.2 per cent (excluding Coregas) and improved the division’s resilience to climate change. Beyond the division’s own emission reduction efforts, business unit Coregas is increasingly supporting its customers’ own decarbonisation activities.
