Coles is exposed to an evolving set of risks and opportunities from climate change, as well as other material risks, including increased frequency and duration of extreme weather events and chronic climate changes that can disrupt our operations and compromise the safety of our team members, customers, supply chain, and the food we sell. These changes can be influenced by government policy, law, and regulation, leading to higher operating costs, potential litigation, and failure to meet customer expectations, which can lead to reputational harm.
