Climate-Related
Disclosure Report 2025

FOR THE 12 MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2025

Message from the Chair
and Chief Executive

We are pleased to present Sky’s second Climate-Related

Disclosure (CRD) Report, prepared in line with the

Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS). The

report outlines our evolving understanding and response

to climate-related risks and opportunities for our

business, and how we are shaping our approach to meet

the challenges that may arise. It also details our progress

in managing our emissions impact and highlights

how key elements of our business transition strategy

support both sustainability and long-term resilience.

In FY25, we continued to reduce Scope 1 emissions

against the prior year and our FY23 base year.

Pleasingly, actual Scope 2 electricity usage also

reduced against both prior periods, however Scope

2 emissions are higher than our base year due to

changes in the electricity factor due largely to higher

carbon intensity in the nationwide generation mix.

As with many Climate Reporting Entities (CRE), most

of our emissions sit within our supply chain. These are

outside our direct control and are inherently challenging

to measure accurately. We also note our concern that

current methodologies for counting and reporting

Scope 3 emissions carry the risk of overstating carbon

intensity due to duplication between entities. That

said, we recognise the opportunity to collaborate with

our suppliers to achieve broader positive outcomes.

In FY25, we again report a subset of these emissions,

which shows a reduction against the prior year,

though slightly higher than our base year again

largely driven by the change in the electricity factor.

Sky is not a carbon intensive business, and we believe

the cost and burden of the current New Zealand

reporting requirement is disproportionate to the

benefits it delivers. We therefore welcome the recent

Cabinet decision to amend the regime following the

Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE)

review. The output of this review will deliver a series

of positive steps towards achieving a more pragmatic

regulatory framework which retains accountability,

drives tangible action to address the impacts of

climate change, but makes the burden on each business

proportionate to its size and carbon intensity.

We hope you find this report to be informative.

CONTENTS

Important note
This report is published by Sky for the reporting period

for the 12 months to 30 June 2025, and was approved

by the Board on 24 October 2025 and reflects Sky’s

current understanding as at 24 October 2025.

This report reflects Sky’s current assessment of its

climate related risks and opportunities, and how

Sky is responding to these. This is our second-year

reporting against the New Zealand Climate Standards

(NZ CS 1-3) issued by the External Reporting Board.

This report has been prepared on the basis of Sky’s

climate related scenario analysis, and its understanding

of, and response to, the climate-related risks and

opportunities, and the anticipated impacts of climate

change, that it has identified.

Assessment of climate change risks, opportunities

and impacts is an evolving challenge and involves

significant uncertainty. This report necessarily

contains estimates and assumptions about future

external physical and transitional changes driven by

climate change and their anticipated impacts on Sky’s

business. The approach, understanding, responses,

estimates and assumptions included in this report

will continue to evolve and develop over time.

This report contains forward-looking statements,

including climate related scenarios, assumptions,

climate projections, forecasts, statements of Sky’s

future intentions, estimates and judgements. These

statements have been based on Sky’s current

understanding of climate change, Sky’s assumptions,

forecasts, projections and internal planning, and are

therefore subject to significant uncertainty and change.

The archetypes, modelling and datasets used by Sky

in the creation of its climate-related scenarios and

associated outputs are highly subjective and subject

to significant change as predictive modelling of the

impacts of climate change improves over time. We

are reliant on third party sources for the provision

of the underlying data behind our scenarios. These

sources have been clearly set out in the Strategy

section of this report. Sky cautions against reliance

on these scenarios, and on all statements in this

report that are necessarily subject to significant

risks, uncertainties, and/or assumptions.

Sky provides no representation that any statements

will not change or will remain correct after publication

of the report. The risks and opportunities described

in this report are based on such assumptions, and so

may not eventuate or may be more or less significant

than anticipated. There are many factors that could

cause Sky’s actual results, performance or achievement

of climate-related metrics to differ materially from

those described, including economic and technological

viability, as well as climatic, government, consumer,

and market factors outside of Sky’s control. Sky

has used reasonable efforts to fairly present such

forward-looking statements and is committed to

progressing its response to climate-related risks and

opportunities over time. However, such assessments

are constrained by the ever-changing and developing

nature of this subject matter and the availability

and quality of the information that is available to it

at the date of this report. Sky remains committed

to progressing its response to climate-related risks

and opportunities over time, and to report progress

each year, but cautions against any person’s reliance

on aspects of this report that are necessarily less

reliable than other aspects of Sky’s annual reporting.

To the maximum extent permitted by law,

Sky and its directors, officers, employees and

contractors do not accept any liability for any loss

or damage arising in any way from or in connection

with any information provided or omitted as

part of the climate-related disclosures.

This report is for information purposes only and

nothing in this report should be interpreted as guidance

or advice on earnings, investment requirements,

future share performance or any other legal,

financial or tax advice or guidance. Unless otherwise

stated, all currency amounts are in NZ dollars.

Governance
Board oversight

Sky’s Board is responsible for challenging, providing

input into and approving Sky’s vision, purpose and

strategic direction. The Board oversees and is ultimately

responsible for group-wide risks and opportunities,

including those related to climate. The Board is

responsible for ensuring that Sky has an appropriate

risk management framework and adequate procedures

in place to identify and manage the principal financial

and non-financial risks of the business, including those

relating to climate, as set out in the Board Charter.

Management completes a Strategic Risk Assessment

annually (or more frequently as required) to identify

risks that are material to Sky’s ability to successfully

execute our strategy and achieve our objectives. Sky has

identified the climate-related risks and opportunities

relevant to our business and these are incorporated

within our documented strategic risks. This reporting

is provided to the Board annually (or more frequently

as required) and is considered by the Board when

approving and reviewing the implementation of Sky’s

broader strategy.

Skills and expertise

Board Members have undertaken personal development

on climate-related topics including through Chapter

Zero, the New Zealand Institute of Directors (IoD) and

the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). In

addition, Sky’s Directors have experience gained through

their individual board positions on other climate reporting

entities, as well as international companies, that provide

exposure and a global perspective on climate change risk

oversight, management and reporting.

The Audit and Risk Committee

The Board is assisted in its oversight of risk

management by the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC).

The ARC has delegated oversight of risk management

activities and is responsible for overseeing Sky’s

risk management programme and evaluating the

effectiveness of its risk management activities. In

addition, the ARC oversees the monitoring, review

and reporting of key risks and issues in line with Sky’s

Enterprise-wide Risk Management (ERM) Framework.

Sky’s ERM Framework helps to ensure that significant

strategic and operational risks, including physical and

transitional risks associated with climate change, are

identified, assessed and adequately controlled and

monitored. The execution of the ERM Framework is the

responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the

Executive Leadership Team (the Executive Team, ELT)

and Senior Management. The Chief Financial Officer

(CFO) is responsible for administering the Framework

and for co-ordinating Sky’s effort to ensure risk

management activity is appropriately focussed across

the business.

The ARC has responsibility for monitoring the progress

of initiatives to address climate-related risks. The

ARC receives an update on broader risk reporting

at least four times per year from management, this

includes climate-related risks. The ARC also receives

an enterprise-wide Strategic Risk Assessment on an

annual basis (or more frequently as required) and this

incorporates reporting on climate risks.

SKY CLIMATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 2025SKY CLIMATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 2025

The ARC minutes are made available to the Board
following every meeting and the ARC Chair provides an

update to the next scheduled Board meeting based on

those minutes. The Chair of the Board is also a member

of the ARC and there is a standing invitation for the

CEO and the CFO to attend ARC meetings.

Management’s role

Sky’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is responsible

for the identification and day-to-day management of

climate-related risks and opportunities. This includes

responsibility for ensuring climate-related risks and

opportunities are considered and incorporated within

Sky’s strategic planning process. Specialist external

advice is sought where appropriate to supplement input

from subject matter experts throughout the business.

Sky’s journey in understanding how climate related

risks and opportunities may impact our business will

continue to evolve. Some of our operational decisions

are already aligned with GHG emissions reduction

objectives and increasing resilience to potential climate-

related impacts. Over time management of broader

climate-related risks and opportunities are becoming

increasingly embedded within Sky’s annual planning

and operational process.

Reporting

Sky’s Executive Team reports on climate-related

matters to the ARC with input from other governance

and management forums as required, including the

Sustainability Governance Committee (SGC) and the Risk

Governance Steering Committee (RGSC) detailed below.

Reporting takes place under separate Sustainability and

Risk agenda items at the relevant forum.

Climate-related risks are reviewed on at least an annual

basis as part of the wider ERM programme and more

frequently as required before being referred to the ARC.

In FY25, Sustainability and ESG was an agenda item

at each of the five ARC meetings, including discussions

on CRD, our climate-related risks and opportunities,

climate-related scenarios, Sky’s GHG emissions profile

and transition planning.

Remuneration

The People and Performance Committee of the Board

is responsible for Sky’s people and performance

strategy and policies, including CEO and Executive

Team remuneration. Sky’s Short Term Incentive Plan

(STI) which applies to the CEO, the Executive Team and

nominated direct reports to the Executive Team includes

non-financial performance metrics covering employee

engagement, customer experience and health and

safety. Climate-related key performance metrics are not

currently incorporated.

Sustainability Governance Committee

Sky’s Sustainability Governance Committee (SGC) has

responsibility to oversee our approach to assessing

climate-related risks and opportunities and delivery of

Sky’s broader climate disclosures. The SGC is chaired by

the Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and includes senior

leaders with appropriate experience. The SGC met

eight times in FY25 and provided regular updates on its

progress to the Executive Team via the Chair and other

members, and via the Executive Team, to the ARC.

Risk Governance Steering Committee

Sky’s Risk Governance Steering Committee (RGSC)

assists management to fulfil its operational obligations

under the Controlling and Managing Risk Policy,

including the ongoing implementation and management

of the ERM within the business. The RGSC includes

members of Sky’s Executive Team, including the CFO,

and relevant senior leaders with appropriate experience.

The RGSC ensures business ownership of risk and

risk oversight occurs within Sky, including acting as

a conduit through which information concerning the

identification and resolution of risks and issues moves

between the ARC, the Executive Team and the business.

The RGSC reports to the ARC on a quarterly basis,

in line with the cadence of the ARC meetings.

Strategy
Current climate-related impacts

Sky has assessed the current physical and transitional

climate-related impacts on our business in line with our

Climate-related Disclosure Materiality Policy.

While some areas in New Zealand experienced extreme

weather-related events during the 2025 financial year,

these were limited and there were no material

physical

impacts to Sky, and accordingly no material financial

impacts, were identified.

Sky is required to prepare an annual climate statement

in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards which incur operational costs that do not

have a material impact on Sky.

Scenario analysis

During the 2025 financial year members of Sky’s

Sustainability Governance Committee, with support

from Oxygen Consulting, reviewed and updated the

three climate scenarios developed in FY24 to ensure

they remain challenging, plausible and relevant to

the business.

The updated scenarios incorporated updated physical

climate projections sourced from the Ministry for the

Environment (MfE) and relevant drivers included in

the Telecommunications Sector Scenarios

1

, which

provide additional insight into industry expectations

for New Zealand’s Broadband infrastructure and

network resilience planning which may influence Sky’s

delivery capability.

In addition to the MfE and the Telecommunications

Sector Scenarios, Sky’s scenario narratives draw on

supplementary reference material including: Aotearoa

implemented within Sky’s business, such as: the

strengthened satellite signal to most of New Zealand

through migration to a new satellite, implementation

of automatic IP switchover capability for new Sky

Boxes in the event of satellite disruption from

atmospheric conditions, and; strengthened technical

STRATEGY

Sky’s three climate scenarios were selected to test
the resilience of our business and strategy under a

range of temperature settings and pathways. These

scenarios do not represent Sky’s view of the future,

but plausible and challenging scenarios of how the

future could evolve, in order to test Sky’s resilience

as required by NZ CS 1.

The first and third scenarios ‘Net Zero 2050’ and

‘Current Policies’ are aligned with the required

temperature settings outlined in NZ CS 1, of

1.5°C and 3.0°C or greater. The second scenario

‘Fragmented World’ was selected to stress test Sky’s

resilience against a scenario, where both transition

and physical risks are high. Under this scenario

New Zealand is assumed to be an early mover on

stringent climate policy action, but due to global

inaction, does not avoid the high physical impacts

of climate change.

The Network for Greening the Financial System

(NGFS) scenarios are relatively aligned to

other recognised scenarios developed by the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

6th assessment and the Shared Socio-economic

Pathways (SSP) scenarios and NIWA representative

concentration warming pathways (RCP).

As noted on page 3, scenario analysis is subject

to significant uncertainty and change as climate

modelling evolves and improves.

Three chosen scenarios

Our chosen time horizons and the rationale for their

selection is defined as follows:

Short-term

0-5 years

• Aligns to Sky’s 5-year planning cycle

• Enables an assessment of risks and opportunities

in the near term

• Enables an assessment of the risks and

opportunities to 2030

1

Medium-term

6-10 years

• Aligns to the remaining lease term at Sky’s

Mt Wellington premises (to 2032)

• Aligns to the current Optus satellite agreement

(2031)

• Enables an assessment of key transition risk

period which will occur over the next decade

Long-term

11-25 years

• Enables physical risks to be better understood as

they will amplify over the longer term

• Enables an assessment of the risks and

opportunities out to 2050

1

These time horizons have also been applied to our

identified climate-related risks and opportunities.

Hothouse World

The Net Zero 2050 scenario describes a fast-acting

global and domestic economy that mobilises through

stringent climate policies and innovation to create

a smooth transition towards global climate targets.

As a result, high transition impacts are faced in the

nearer term, but the effort is rewarded with physical

impacts being limited to a moderate level.

The Fragmented World scenario describes a major

rift between the global and domestic economies,

whereby New Zealand and a number of developed

nations strive to meet global climate targets

through rapid transition while the rest of the

world fails to act. This exposes New Zealand to

high transition risks as well as high physical risks

as global emissions continue to rise and warm the

atmosphere, despite our domestic efforts.

The Current Policies scenario describes a future

where only current policies are implemented and

no further action on climate change is taken to

tackle emissions. This avoids the impacts associated

with transitioning but sets the world on track for

a significant and irreversible level of atmospheric

warming and physical risk.

Social

In the short term, increasing cost pressures brought

about by a rapid transition increase inequity and

concern that the pace of change is warranted. Over

time, climate action results in increased demand for

international news and factual content about the

rapidly transitioning world.

The fragmented transition leads to social unrest

in economies that take swifter action. Consumers

are driven to spend less and stay at home more,

increasing demand for in-home entertainment

services.

Demand for in-home entertainment increases and

viewer content preferences evolve in response to the

significantly changed climate, leading to increased

demand for international news and factual content

as well as opportunities to escape the confronting

physical issues brought on by climate change.

Technological

Investment in technologies to combat climate

change and its impacts leads to rapid advancements

in energy efficiency and the capabilities of utility

infrastructure. This comes at a cost in the short term

as global demand for low emissions infrastructure

and products is high and New Zealand lacks local

manufacturing capacity. Over time, investment to

improve the resilience of infrastructure and service

delivery is deployed, reducing the impacts of climate-

related events in the medium to long term.

Lack of global transition leads to slow technological

development, resulting in domestic utility

infrastructure providers and media companies facing

increased challenges and higher costs to develop

innovative and resilient low-emissions solutions.

Inadequate policies result in frequent disruptions to

key infrastructure, with increased maintenance costs,

lower levels of reliability and a slow pace of climate

technology development.

Economic

High domestic and global carbon prices drive the

transition and increase supply chain, transport

and production costs. In the short to medium term

this leads to cost-of-living pressures that impact

discretionary spending, while in the long term these

costs are reduced as emissions reduction targets are

achieved.

Significant transition and physical impacts

eventuate for the domestic market, leading to

compound cost pressures throughout the economy.

New Zealand is less globally competitive in the short

to medium term but benefits in the longer term.

Short-term economic benefits from low regulatory

costs are overshadowed by long-term material

burdens from physical climate impacts, leading

to increased adaptation costs and economic

downturns.

Environmental

More frequent and severe extreme weather events

occur in the medium term, due to warming locked

in by historical and future emissions. Longer term

physical impacts of climate change are avoided as

systems begin to stabilise.

New Zealand’s vulnerability to climate impacts leads

to an increase in severity and frequency of acute

weather events in the short and medium term due to

the lack of fast and cohesive global climate action.

Live broadcast of local and international events may

be more frequently impacted.

Consumers, businesses and key infrastructure are

frequently and severely disrupted by acute extreme

weather events and the chronically changing climate.

Audience attendance and live broadcasting of local

and international events is more frequently affected

by physical climate change impacts prompting

adaptation by sporting codes and venues.

Political

In the short to medium term, increased regulation

and stringent policy action leads to high carbon costs

to drive the transition, increasing cost pressures and

creating higher levels of inequity.

The New Zealand Government intervenes to support

infrastructure development through a National

Resilience Strategy. This leads to disproportionately

higher costs and increased regulation in the short to

medium term compared to the global economy but

a lower cost, more competitive and resilient outcome

in the medium to longer term.

Lack of strong policy action results in unchecked

temperature rise and emissions growth, with low

carbon prices and insufficient funding for adaptation

and emissions reduction research.

STRATEGY

In FY25 Sky undertook a review of our climate-related
risks and opportunities (CRRO) as part of the scenario

analysis process. The purpose of this exercise was to re-

assess how our climate-related risks and opportunities

may plausibly impact Sky under our revised scenarios

and in the context of business changes. All parts of Sky’s

value chain were included in our climate-related risk

and opportunity assessment, but the analysis primarily

focused on the impact on our own operations.

Climate-related risks (CRRs) were re-assessed using

Sky’s risk matrix to ensure a consistent approach to

the assessment and management of other business

risks and integration within the wider ERM framework.

Risk assessments were updated based on the

likelihood of occurrence and consequence of impact.

The matrix considers not only the potential financial

impact but also the impact on operations, reputation,

regulatory compliance, and impacts on stakeholders

such as customers and employees. No modelling

was undertaken.

Controls and mitigations were also considered to

determine the inherent and residual risk ratings for each

CRR. A calibration process in line with Sky’s materiality

assessment was then used to appropriately assimilate

the CRRs within the broader ERM framework. A risk

is considered material if it is assessed as potentially

having a major impact on the business.

A summary of the key themes and business impacts

that could arise from the CRROs is outlined in the

table on the following pages. Material CCRO have

been grouped based on the nature of their origin, cause

or impacts.

As outlined, climate-related risks have been integrated

into the ERM and will continue to be reviewed on at

least a six-monthly basis as part of the wider ERM

programme and more frequently as required.

Capital deployment

Sky’s CRROs do not currently serve as direct inputs to internal capital deployment

and funding decision making processes, however aspects of our business strategy

are aligned with transition to a lower emissions pathway and building resilience

to potential climate impacts. A number of initiatives (some involving capital and

operating spending) were undertaken in FY25, that have contributed to addressing

short term CRRO. These include:

• strengthened satellite signal strength to most of New Zealand;

• installation of larger satellite dishes for customers in parts of the country;

• continued rollout of lower emitting new Sky Box and Pod devices;

• development of IP switchover capability for new Sky Box devices;

• strengthened customer technical support services through a centralised provider;

• replaced some HVAC units with lower emissions profile units;

• invested to develop and assure our climate-related disclosure.

As Sky develops our understanding of the anticipated financial impacts of our CCRO,

we expect this will inform our approach to ensuring alignment of future capital

allocation and funding decision processes.

Business activities vulnerable to

transition and physical risks

Through the process of assessing Sky’s potential exposure to risks we have established

there is no exposure to transitional or physical risks, above a rating of moderate in the

short to medium term. Accordingly, we have assessed that no aspects of Sky’s business

activities or assets are currently vulnerable to our identified climate-related transition

or physical risks. We expect to continue to take action to address potential risks, in line

with our enterprise-wide approach to risk management.

We have assessed that all aspects of our business activities are currently aligned with

our identified climate-related opportunities.

Sky deployed approximately $450k in capital and operating expenditure during FY25 on

projects related to climate-related risks and opportunities. This includes approximately

$250k relating to installation of lower emissions equipment at Sky owned and leased

sites and capitalised software development to enable IP switch-over for the new Sky

Box. Operational expenditure of approximately $200k was deployed towards legislative

reporting requirements in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards, noting this does not include staff and management time.

Sky does not currently apply an internal emissions price. We will continue to review this

as reduction initiatives are considered.

Risk
Risk management

Sky’s Board is responsible for ensuring an appropriate

risk management framework and adequate procedures

are in place to identify and manage the principal

financial and non-financial risks of the business.

The Controlling and Managing Risk Policy formally

defines the roles and responsibilities for enterprise risk

management across the organisation. This Policy is

reviewed and approved annually by the Board.

The Board has delegated oversight of risk management

activities to the ARC which oversees Sky’s risk

management programme, evaluates the effectiveness

of Sky’s risk management activities and oversees the

monitoring, review and reporting of key risks and issues

in line with Sky’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

framework.

The ERM framework ensures that significant strategic

and operational risks, including physical and transitional

risks and opportunities associated with climate change,

are identified, assessed, controlled and monitored.

Climate related risks are reviewed on at least a six-

monthly basis as part of the wider ERM programme and

more frequently as required.

The ARC has responsibility for monitoring the progress

of initiatives to address climate related risks and

opportunities and receives regular updates from

Management. The ARC receives an enterprise-wide

update of key risks on a six-monthly basis (or more

frequently as required), and this incorporates

climate risks.

The RGSC oversees the operational application of the

Controlling and Managing Risk Policy including the

ongoing implementation and management of the ERM

framework. The RGSC ensures ownership of risk and

risk oversight throughout the business, including acting

as a conduit through which information concerning the

identification and resolution of risks and issues moves

between the ARC, the Executive Team and the business.

Sky’s identified climate-related risks are integrated into

the existing risk management processes under the ERM

framework. This enables the risks to continue being

assessed, evaluated and prioritised relative to the risk

exposure of Sky’s other enterprise risks. Through their

integration, CRR are treated in the same way as Sky’s

other risks.

The SGC retains oversight of CRRO within Sky’s risk

register, and in addition, a primary business unit owner

has also been identified for each risk, consistent with

the approach taken for other operational risks.

Metrics and
Targets

Sky’s greenhouse gas emissions

Sky began collecting and tracking greenhouse gas

(GHG) emissions within our value chain in FY23 with

support from Toitū Envirocare (Toitū). This information

formed our base year data set.

In FY24 we published our first Climate-related

Disclosure Report. This included our emissions inventory

of Scope 1, 2 and an expanded capture of selected

Scope 3 emissions categories, with our reporting aligned

to ISO 14064:1-2018, as used by Toitū. Where possible

we restated the FY23 base year data to include the

additional Scope 3 inventory, thereby allowing a basis

of comparison.

Our 2025 Climate-related Disclosure Report sees Sky

transitioning our GHG measurement standard from

ISO 14064:1-2018 to the GHG Protocol as this is a more

widely recognised and locally adopted format which

we believe will be helpful to our primary users. The

change in standard had no impact on the measurement

of our FY24 comparative or FY23 base year emissions

but has resulted in changes in how we present Scope 3

emissions, which are now classified by the GHG Protocol

categories 1 to 13 as relevant. There is no impact on the

presentation of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

At the same time, we expanded our capture in some

categories, and made adjustments as a result of

identification of additional information, errors and

improving judgements, the detail of which can be

found in table 4.

Sky has formalised and approved a GHG Emissions

Recalculation Policy that sets out the basis and

significance threshold for any base year recalculation

and restatements including:

• Structural changes in the company, such as

mergers, acquisitions or divestments or a change

in outsourcing or insourcing practices;

• Changes in GHG emissions calculation methodology;

• Updated GHG emissions factor values;

• Discovery of a significant error, or;

• Access to new or improved data, such as information

relating to Scope 3 emissions that enables accurate

and reliable calculation of emissions where this was

previously unavailable.

This policy is also aligned with our Climate-Related

Disclosure Materiality Policy, with both referencing

a 5% significance threshold. On this basis, we also

reviewed retrospective changes to the 2023 Ministry

for the Environment (MfE) emissions factor values for

electricity and determined it was appropriate to restate

our base year. For completeness, we elected to also

restate FY24 data. Sky has provided a table outlining

the restatements on page 23.

2. Scope 2 emisssions are reported using a location-based methodology.

3. Emissions intensity is calculated using Scope 1, Scope 2 (location-based) and Scope 3 total measured emissions.

Analysis of changes in Sky’s emissions inventory

Scope 1: Sky’s reporting for the 2025 financial year

showed a 55% reduction in Scope 1 emissions against

the restated FY23 base year and a 39% reduction

against FY24. The reduction was largely related to

lower HVAC refrigerant emissions (based on the top-up

methodology). This was partly offset by increased fuel

usage as our small team of in-house technicians carried

out more customer visits during Sky’s migration to a

new satellite. With this project now completed, fuel

usage for our fleet of 20 leased vehicles is expected to

return to run-rate levels.

Scope 2: In FY25 Sky’s Scope 2 emissions from imported

energy (location based) showed a 42% increase against

our restated FY23 base year and a 3% reduction

against FY24. We note that actual Scope 2 kWh usage

(which is within Sky’s control) was 18% lower against

FY23, and 3% lower against FY24 (refer to table 3).

The reported percentage change in tCO

2

e emissions

was therefore essentially due to differences in the MfE

electricity factor which is used to calculate electricity-

based emissions, and which is outside of Sky’s control.

The MfE periodically updates electricity emissions

factor data to adjust for changes in methodology,

generation type, fuel type, efficiency, or to adjust for

errors. During the reporting period Sky recalculated

and restated historic emissions for the FY23 and FY24

reporting periods to reflect the most up to date data

available (MfE 2025). This resulted in a 51% reduction in

the FY23 electricity emissions factor and 86% increase

to the FY24 factor.

P20

GLOSSARYRISKSTRATEGYGOVERNANCEABOUT THIS REPORTCONTENTS

SKY CLIMATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 2025

METRICS AND TARGETS

Scope 3: Sky’s Scope 3 emissions increased by 4%
against FY23 and reduced by 18% against FY24, noting

a significant portion of Sky’s inventory is exposed to the

MfE electricity emissions factor (notably Category 1 and

Category 11).

The most significant areas of emissions reductions

against both FY23 and FY24 included Category 1:

Purchased goods and services, which saw lower

emissions from outsourced data centres, lower raw

material and manufacturing emissions from Sky

products as investment moves to run-rate levels, and

lower electricity usage in outsourced operations.

The most significant area of increase against FY23

(noting a reduction against FY24), was Category 11:

Use of sold products, albeit actual kWh usage reduced

by 22% compared to FY23 and by 15% compared to

FY24 (refer to table 2 on page 20). This reduction in

usage was due to the refresh of Sky’s box fleet to more

energy efficient products and an overall reduction in box

numbers, net of growth in Sky Broadband. A modest

increase in Category 6: Business travel, related to major

events such as the Olympics.

The nature of emissions reporting means that certain

categories of Sky’s reported Scope 3 emissions will

be reported by other entities as their Scope 1 and

2 emissions. This may result in double counting of

emissions between Sky and other entities’ emissions

inventories. Sky is reliant on information supplied by

third parties in determining its emissions inventory,

particularly in relation to Scope 3, and therefore is

reliant on the reliability of the data received.

Sky has not used offsets in any of the reporting periods.

Other metrics

Sky has disclosed an emissions intensity ratio

(calculated as tCO₂e/$million revenue), which is a widely

used metric among Climate Reporting Entity’s (CRE)

and within our sector. We have also provided kWh based

data for Scope 2 and Scope 3 Category 11: Use of sold

products as we believe this provides primary users with

useful information on actual usage (refer to table 2 on

page 20).

We have undertaken a review of potential industry-

based metrics relevant to our business through a

scan of international peers and through reviewing

the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s

(SASB)

1

standards covering Media and Entertainment.

Development and adoption of specific metrics relevant

to Sky’s business remains at an early stage. Sky will

continue to monitor the development of industry

metrics that could assist primary users to better

understand our emissions profile.

Emissions reduction targets

Sky has not set GHG emissions reduction targets.

On 22 July 2025 Sky announced the acquisition of

Discovery NZ Limited (DNZ) (now known as Sky Free

Limited), with completion subsequently confirmed

on 1 August 2025. Sky Free will be included within our

operational boundary and our CRD reporting from

FY26. The GHG protocol and our own GHG Emissions

Recalculation Policy, also require that we recalculate our

base year emissions when structural changes such as

acquisitions occur, to ensure emissions trends over time

remain meaningful and comparable.

While we will continue to explore opportunities to

reduce our emissions, we note that there has not been

sufficient time since the DNZ acquisition to quantify

the impact on our future emissions or recalculations

to the base year or comparative periods. Therefore,

setting meaningful targets at this time is not possible

due to the uncertainty of our combined base year

emissions inventory.

Assurance of GHG emissions

PwC has provided independent, third-party limited

assurance over our Scope 1 and Scope 2 FY25 GHG

emissions (tCO

2

e) as presented in table 1 and additional

required disclosures of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions

including the methods, assumptions and estimation

uncertainty. Unless stated as being subject to assurance,

the information in these Climate-related Disclosures

is not in the scope of the assurance conclusion. Sky

has elected to use

Adoption Provision 8: Scope 3 GHG

emissions assurance

(NZ CS 2(24)) which allows us to

exclude Scope 3 GHG emissions disclosures from the

assurance engagement in our second year of reporting.

PwC’s Assurance Report is available on pages 26-29.

GHG emissions exclusions

A number of Scope 3 emissions sources within Sky’s

value chain are not currently included in our GHG

inventory, largely due to limitations in the availability or

reliability of source information.

• Content: Whilst our GHG inventory includes emissions

related to Sky’s production of sports events and

studio shows, emissions associated with purchased

and commissioned content are not currently included

within Sky’s GHG emissions inventory. This includes

emissions relating to the production of pass-through

channels, content sourced from studio partners,

sports content not produced by Sky and the emissions

related to content partners.

• Customer support: We track and disclose emissions

relating to our small team of Auckland based in-

house service technicians. Whilst Sky maintains

records of each service call to customer premises

undertaken on our behalf by external contractors,

we are working towards tracking the emissions

from this activity. This involves determining an

appropriate methodology for estimating historic

emissions from this source to provide a basis for
comparison. Consolidation to a single service

provider in November 2025 is assisting in this

process. In conjunction with the Auckland University

of Technology (AUT) and our service provider we

are at the same time exploring opportunities for

emissions reduction through enhancements to fleet

management and logistics choices.

• Commercial customers: Sky currently captures

emissions related to Sky Box use in customer homes.

A methodology for capturing emissions data related

to Sky Box use at commercial customer premises is

not yet available.

Further work will be undertaken to capture Scope 3

emissions data primarily relating to purchased goods

and services where these are material.

Sky has elected to use

Adoption Provision 4: Scope 3

GHG emissions

(NZ CS 2(17)) relating to disclosure of

a sub-set of our Scope 3 emissions. We will continue

to work towards measuring and finalising our Scope 3

emissions inventory and where possible we will source

historic information. This may result in a restatement of

previously reported data.

Organisational boundaries

The GHG disclosures in this section Organisational

boundaries are subject to independent assurance.

An operational control consolidation approach was

used to account for emissions, with reference to the

methodology described in the GHG Protocol. Sky has

an interest in two businesses where ownership is less

than 100%. Emissions from these businesses are not

considered material, however a significant portion of

these business operations are undertaken by Sky staff

at Sky locations and this, as well as business travel is

captured within our emissions inventory.

Sky subsidiaries that are inactive or holding companies

are excluded as they have no emissions from their

operations. A full list of subsidiary businesses is included

on page 39 of Sky’s 2025 Annual Report.

Subsequent to the reporting period, Sky acquired

Discovery NZ Limited (now known as Sky Free Limited),

with completion confirmed on 1 August 2025. In line with

the requirements of the GHG Protocol and Sky’s GHG

Emissions Recalculation Policy, we intend to include

emissions relating to this business in subsequent reports

and expect to recalculate our base year and other historic

period emissions. This may have a significant impact

across all Scopes of our emissions reporting, however, as

Discovery NZ was not recording its emissions, we are not

in a position to quantify that impact.

Activities that may impact our emissions

profile over time:

• Changes to electricity emissions factors, can have

a significant impact on Scope 2 and some Scope 3

categories, including Category 1: Purchased Goods

and Services, and, most notably, Category 11: Use of

Sold Products.

• Transport based emissions may fluctuate between

periods due to travel associated with content

production for major international events such as the

Rugby World Cup and the Olympics.

• Increased demand for Sky Broadband products would

be likely to result in increased indirect cradle-to-grave

emissions from equipment and incremental electricity

related emissions from service providers.

• Increased demand for streaming and on-demand

content is likely to lead to increased use of data

centre and on-premise capacity. At the same time,

data centre operating efficiency is expected to

improve over time.

• Sky is refreshing our device fleet through the new Sky

Box and Sky Pod. The changing box fleet (including

the change in the mix of devices as well as an overall

reduction in box numbers) is expected to positively

impact emissions over time, as higher emitting, older

box types are replaced with new, lower emissions

alternatives.

The table on page 24 provides details on data sources

and the calculation methodologies and assumptions

used in the preparation of Sky’s GHG emissions

inventory, prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol

Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

Sky is reliant on information supplied by third parties in

determining its emissions inventory and therefore, Sky

is reliant on the reliability of the data received. Across

all Scopes 1 to 3, Sky has sourced emissions factor data

from Toitū Envirocare which generally uses the relevant

MfE emissions factors

1

. The GHG quantification is

subject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete

scientific knowledge used to determine emissions

factors and the values needed to combine emissions of

different gases. Other emissions factor data sources

used within our inventory include:

• Scope 1: pre-calculated emissions data provided

by suppliers,

• Scope 3: pre-calculated emissions data provided by

suppliers, supplier emissions intensity data (tCO₂e),

Independent Assurance Report

To the Directors of Sky Network Television Limited

Limited Assurance Report on Sky Network Television Limited’s

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Disclosures

Our conclusion

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement on the gross GHG emissions, additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and gross GHG emissions

methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty (the GHG Disclosures), as outlined within the Scope of our limited assurance engagement section below, included in the

Climate Statement of Sky Network Television Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are

not fairly presented and are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External

Reporting Board (XRB), as explained on page 4 of the Climate Statement.

Scope of our limited assurance engagement

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement over the following GHG Disclosures on pages 20 and 22 to 24 of the Climate Statement for the year ended 30 June

2025:

• gross GHG emissions:

– Scope 1 emissions of 137 tCO2e on page 20; and

– Scope 2 (location-based) emissions of 698 tCO2e on page 20;


P26

GLOSSARYRISKSTRATEGYGOVERNANCEABOUT THIS REPORTCONTENTS

SKY CLIMATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 2025

METRICS AND TARGETS


2 PwC – Independent Assurance Report

• additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions on pages 2 2 and 23; and

• gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty on pages 2 3 and 24.

Our assurance engagement does not extend to any other information included, or referred to, in the Climate Statement on pages 2 to 25 and on page 30. We have not

performed any procedures with respect to the excluded information and, therefore, no conclusion is expressed on it. The comparative information for the years ended 30

June 2023 (base year) and 30 June 2024 disclosed in the Group’s Climate Statement are not covered by the assurance conclusion expressed in this report.

Other matter – comparative information

The comparative Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG disclosures for the years ended 30 June 2023 (base year) and 30 June 2024 have not been subject to assurance in accordance

with NZ SAE 1. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance conclusion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the GHG Disclosures in accordance with NZ CSs. This

responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of GHG Disclosures that are free from material

misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Uncertainty in preparing GHG Disclosures

As discussed on page 23 of the Climate Statement, the GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete scientific knowledge used to determine

emissions factors and the values needed to combine emissions of different gases.

Our independence and quality management

This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Assurance Engagements 1 Assurance Engagements over Greenhouse Gas

Emissions Disclosures, issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB) (NZ SAE 1). NZ SAE 1 is founded on the fundamental principles of independence, integrity,

objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

We have also complied with the following professional and ethical standards and accreditation body requirements:

• Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand);

• Professional and Ethical Standard 3: Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services

Engagements; and

• Professional and Ethical Standard 4: Engagement Quality Reviews.

3 PwC – Independent Assurance Report

Other than in our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm carries out other assignments in the areas of audit, review and other assurance services and other

services relating to agreed upon procedures and a preconditions assessment for the assurance of GHG Disclosures. In addition, certain partners and employees of our firm

may deal with the Company on normal terms within the ordinary course of training activities of the business. The firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the

Group.

Assurance practitioner’s responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the GHG Disclosures based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained. NZ SAE 1 requires us

to plan and perform the engagement to obtain the intended level of assurance about whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG

Disclosures are not fairly presented and are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ CSs, whether due to fraud or error, and to report our conclusion to

the Directors of the Company.

As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG Disclosures prepared by management, we are not permitted to be involved in the preparation of the

GHG information as doing so may compromise our independence.

Summary of work performed

Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements. This

involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the GHG Disclosures, assessing the risks of material

misstatement of the GHG Disclosures whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall

presentation of the GHG Disclosures.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an

understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included enquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection of documents, analytical

procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling with underlying records. In undertaking our

limited assurance engagement on the GHG Disclosures, we:

• Evaluated the Group’s assessment of organisational and operational boundaries;

• Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the preparation of the GHG

Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their implementation;

• Tested a limited number of items to, or from, supporting records, as appropriate;

• Assessed all emission factor sources and reperformed the emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;

4 PwC – Independent Assurance Report

• Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by comparing the expected GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted on a monthly or quarterly basis

against a trend and made enquiries of management to obtain explanations for any significant differences we identified. We performed more precise analytics where

appropriate;

• We enquired with management on the nature of the restatement to base year and read the supporting documentation and calculations that we were provided with; and

• Considered the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement.

Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had we

performed a reasonable assurance engagement and does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might

identify. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion on these GHG Disclosures.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal control structure, it is possible that fraud, error or non-compliance may occur

and not be detected.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s Directors, as a body. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to

them in our assurance report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company

and the Company’s Directors, as a body, for our procedures, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

The engagement partner on the engagement resulting in this independent assurance report is Victoria Ashplant.
