At a practical level this means:

• Replacing single-use and one-way alternatives with our circular solutions;
• Accounting for the carbon and waste reductions using life cycle assessment (LCA);
• Accounting for the natural capital benefits from our Forest Positive programme; and
• Leveraging carbon sequestration process to offset the residual impact on our own and our customers’ supply chains.

Supply Chain Positive aims to take the principles of circularity to broad-scale adoption. It is why we are actively participating with other companies in the development of circular economy measurement tools with global experts. This will initiate our pathway to creating regenerative supply chains for customers.

Advocating for widespread adoption of a circular economy is central to Brambles' purpose and is promoted by leading organisations, such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) the EMF, and the WBCSD. A circular strategy addresses both economic inefficiencies and environmental issues that have reached a critical junction, including waste and climate change. Brambles' 70 years' experience operating through a circular business model positions it as a leader that sets a benchmark for circularity at a global scale. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation recognised this unique attribute in May 2020, rating Brambles with an A- in its Circulytics programme. Brambles’ circular expertise helped to develop the two leading circular measurement frameworks from the EMF and the WBCSD. While presenting different approaches in circularity measurement, we see significant potential for both tools to transform economies from linear to circular.

Constantly reviewing and improving all aspects of our circular share and reuse model helps our customers to efficiently serve their markets while reducing the financial and environmental impacts versus conventional single-use alternatives.

Positive collaboration is genuinely unique to Brambles' business model. It is enabled through our unmatched visibility of transport supply chains and our long-term partnerships throughout each network. Our collaboration projects differentiate Brambles by uncovering new value, which helps customers achieve their supply chain sustainability objectives.

Our visibility of supply chains, our scale, data and relationships enable us to create opportunities to optimise our customers' and our own supply chains. These collaborations allow us to solve shared sustainability challenges such as:

• eliminate waste
• erradicate empty transport miles
• cut out inefficiencies

Our safety strategy will focus on the continued implementation of our Safety Differently programme using the Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) framework, which helps apply our changes in a practical and employee-centric way.

At Brambles, we see diversity as both a strength and an advantage and recognise the exceptional variety of talent, creativity, thought, experience, perspectives, and styles this brings. This enables us to identify best‑in‑class supply chain solutions for our customers. We believe that everyone should have a voice, and we commit to listening to those voices to deliver the very best experience for our employees, customers, and shareholders.

Workplace Positive provides our employees with fulfilling work and contributes to a positive society. A well-governed, safe, diverse and engaged workforce directly relates to customer satisfaction, attracting and retaining talent and better financial outcomes. We believe a truly inclusive environment fuels innovation, growth and agility.

Put simply; we believe that an inclusive and diverse environment is better for our people and better for our business.
