Corporate Social Responsibility Statement

Last updated June 17, 2025

At Expo Centric, our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility underpins every aspect of how we operate, create, and collaborate. We integrate ethical, sustainable, and socially conscious practices into our daily business and long-term strategy—supporting our people, clients, communities, and the planet.

Environmental Sustainability

We are committed to environmental leadership through responsible operations and continuous improvement. Key priorities include:

• Use of recyclable and reusable materials, including modular exhibition systems such as Aluvision, which are central to our design and construction methodology
• Preference for FSC-certified timber, GECA-certified materials, and low-VOC products to reduce environmental impact and improve indoor air quality
• Targeting at least 80% of operational waste diverted from landfill by 2030, with a Net Zero Waste goal to landfill by 2045
• Energy-efficient practices, including the use of LED lighting, sustainable transport options, and efficient manufacturing processes
• Integration of environmental sustainability criteria into procurement and supplier selection
• Continuous improvement through staff training, internal audits, policy reviews, and performance monitoring

Carbon Footprint Reporting

Expo Centric has internal systems in place to monitor, report, and reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with partial tracking of Scope 3 emissions. We align with National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) principles and are actively implementing our Carbon Emissions Reduction Plan to meet and exceed national expectations for decarbonisation.

Target Area	Goal	Target Year
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions	Reduced by 20% from 2024 baseline	2030
Operational Renewable Energy Use	Achieve minimum 50% of energy from renewable resources	2028
Scope 3 Emissions (Transport and Procurement)	Reduce by 20%	2030

Ethical Supply Chain Management

We maintain a supply chain that is transparent, accountable, and aligned with Australian and international human rights standards. We ensure:

• Compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)
• Proactive identification and mitigation of modern slavery risks
• A Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Engagement Policy that reinforce fair labour practices, responsible sourcing, and ESG expectations
• Regular audits, risk assessments, and supplier onboarding to ensure compliance
• Ongoing training and due diligence for procurement staff and contractors

Diversity, Inclusion & Indigenous Engagement

We foster a culture of fairness, opportunity, and respect. Our approach includes:

• Inclusive hiring practices, with attention to gender equity, cultural diversity, and support for underrepresented groups
• Engagement with Indigenous-owned suppliers and support for local economic participation
• Veteran employment pathways and recognition of military service experience
• Commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for our staff, partners, and clients

Net Zero Waste Commitment

Expo Centric’s Net Zero Waste target is to eliminate waste to landfill by 2045. This includes:

• Reuse of modular systems and recyclable substrates
• Supplier take-back schemes and design-for-disassembly principles
• Segregated waste collection and regular waste audits
• Staff education on responsible waste handling and material lifecycles
