reports via the Group’s whistleblower reporting channels, including

from suppliers, workers and others in our supply chains. All reports

were provided to Group protected disclosure officers, and the divisions

were responsible for undertaking investigations of all reported items.

Appropriate remediation and actions to resolve any substantiated issue

Quantitative (page 13):

Through a well-established ethical sourcing program that all

suppliers are required to comply with, during the 2021 financial

year, 489 independent ethical sourcing audits were conducted

and Officeworks worked with suppliers to resolve 33 critical

breaches.

In the 2021 financial year, Officeworks reviewed results from

worker voice surveys it arranged to enable employee voices to

be better heard and more often. This involved 949 workers at

six factories completing surveys to share their concerns.

Following initial surveys and the initiatives implemented,

surveys were conducted and there was an improvement in

worker satisfaction of 18 per cent. In the 2021 financial year,

Officeworks has helped to enable positive change to the 1,876

workers that work at the six factories involved in these surveys.
