14 OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY ENVIRONMENT OUR WORLD Kazia is mindful of its impact on the environment and strives to reduce its carbon footprint, minimise its use of non-recyclable matter, and observe the very highest standards of laboratory and manufacturing practice to avoid any risk of contamination, leakage, or pollution. Did You Know? Kazia’s head office, at Barangaroo in Sydney, Australia, is located in the International Towers complex, which is 100% carbon neutral and the first location globally to receive a 100% climate resilience score from GRESB, the leading ESG benchmark for real assets. It is also holds a six star GreenStar rating, which is the highest rating attainable. SOCIETY OUR COMMUNITY Kazia recognises the enormous impact that a cancer diagnosis can have for patients and their families. We work closely with advocacy organisations and notfor-profit groups to help inform the community about the disease areas we work in. We are attentive to the need for diversity in clinical trial recruitment, and we work hard to ensure that our medicines eventually become accessible to the widest range of patients. Did You Know? Although clinical trial participation is always the preferred way to access experimental therapies, we recognise that it is not an option for every patient. For some years, Kazia has run a ‘compassionate use’ program, which can in rare cases make our drugs available to patients outside of clinical trials. To date, more than thirty patients in six countries have received paxalisib on a compassionate use basis. GOVERNANCE OUR COMPANY Kazia strives to be a good corporate citizen, and has always observed the highest standards of corporate governance. As a company listed on both ASX and NASDAQ, we respect the governance frameworks of both jurisdictions. Did You Know? Kazia has pre-emptively and voluntarily begun to implement a rigorous validation for vendors and partners, which includes compliance with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth). As a healthcare company, Kazia is committed to the highest standards of corporate responsibility. We launched a new ESG (Environment – Society – Governance) framework this year, and we anticipate more detailed reporting on our commitments and achievements in future years.
