Scope of this report

Unless otherwise stated, this report covers all our operations in Australia and New-Zealand for the 2009 financial year (1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009).

Our environmental targets are based on projected growth through additional new stores in our existing businesses as at the 2007 financial year. These projections do not account for the impact of future acquisitions. Should we acquire new businesses, the baseline data would be adjusted accordingly.

The environmental data in this report does not cover Croma, our consumer electronics joint venture with the TATA Group in India, where we provide wholesale services to 22-retail stores. Nor are our global sourcing offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai included. These operations are small and not deemed to be material in the overall context.
