Our approach is guided by internationally recognised human rights standards, including the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

As a global organisation, we are exposed to a range of modern slavery risks across the geographies in which we operate and the sectors from which we procure materials. We continue to make progress against our modern slavery commitments through ongoing risk assessment, supplier engagement and the continual strengthening of our governance and controls.

We recognise that businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights and to take appropriate action where risks are identified, including through remediation where required.

In Australia, we launched our second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in 2025 — the Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan. The RAP builds on our ongoing work to strengthen relationships, deepen cultural understanding and support more meaningful engagement with First Nations peoples across our operations and communities.

In Canada, our ongoing partnerships with First Nations communities support community development initiatives, as well as education and employment opportunities.

Our strategic community investment focuses on three key areas:

• Education: we partner with organisations to help children and young people develop foundational learning skills, supporting greater participation in society and improved access to long‑term opportunities.
• Environment: we support environmental resilience in the communities where we operate by enabling long‑term environmental projects delivered in partnership with independent organisations and governments.
• Stronger communities: we work with community organisations, schools and local partners to help build resilient, inclusive communities, supporting social connection, participation and positive outcomes for people and families where we operate.

In 2025, we were proud to report that community investments made through the Orica Impact Fund over its first five years surpassed our original $15 million commitment.

Our responsible sourcing approach focuses on three key areas:

• Setting clear expectations for suppliers: we communicate our expectations through supplier standards and contractual requirements that address ethics, human rights, health and safety, and environmental performance. These expectations are embedded in supplier onboarding, due diligence processes and ongoing engagement.
• Identifying and addressing sustainability risks: we use a risk‑based approach to identify environmental, social and human rights risks across our supply chain. Where risks or gaps are identified, we work with suppliers to implement targeted improvement plans and build capability over time.
• Monitoring performance and assurance: we monitor supplier performance through desktop assessments, evidence reviews and, if required, site‑based audits. We use insights to drive continuous improvement across categories and regions.
