1 Leadership positions comprises the Executive Leadership Team, general managers, team members pay grade eight and above and supermarket store managers. Pay grade eight and above includes middle managers and specialist roles.

2 Based on results of our May 2026 mysay team member engagement survey (67% participation).

3 Excludes liquid waste except high-strength sludges (which contain a high proportion of solids) and liquids diverted for use as food (such as donations to SecondBite and farmers).

4 Renewable electricity percentage is calculated on a market-based basis and includes voluntary large-scale generation certificates (LGC) surrendered by us, renewable power percentage (RPP), jurisdictional renewable power percentage (JRPP) and onsite solar within Coles’ operational control. The JRPP is only applicable in the ACT, where the electricity supply is legislated to be 100% renewable. For all other Australian jurisdictions, the RPP is used to represent the renewable content of grid electricity unless specific renewable procurement (e.g. LGC surrender) is demonstrated. FY26 electricity consumption includes one month of estimated data (based on meter data or weighted averages of actuals) and 11 months of actual data.

5 Community contributions include Coles’ direct contributions, fundraising/leverage, value of in-kind donations and management costs, aligned with the Business for Societal Impact (B4SI) Framework.
