IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This 2021 Sustainability Report (Report) has been prepared to provide a general overview of TWE’s performance with respect to environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. It should be read in conjunction with TWE’s 2021 Annual Report, which
provides a detailed overview of TWE’s financial and operating performance for F21.
The Report contains certain forward-looking statements, which may be identified by the use of terminology including ‘expects’, ‘believes’, ‘targets’, ‘likely’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘intends’, ‘aims’ or similar expressions. These forward looking statements are
not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of TWE, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements.
Whilst TWE has, where appropriate, verified the source and accuracy of the information contained in the Report, no independent assurance has been obtained in relation to it.
Information in the Report is current as at 30 June 2021 unless otherwise stated. References to ‘TWE’, ‘Company’, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ are to Treasury Wine Estates Limited and/or, except where the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries. References
to ‘F20’ and ‘F21’ are to the time periods 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 and 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 respectively. All currency referred to in the Report is in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
TWE takes the health, wellbeing and safety of its team, customers, consumers and its communities seriously. Given the COVID-19 global pandemic and the restrictions in place, TWE chose to largely use imagery, particularly those showing more than two people,
photographed prior to the start of the pandemic. As a result some photos may not show social distancing and other social health practices that remain in place in markets in which we operate and sell wine.

Value chain
We are part of the global economy, meaning our value chain is connected to people, communities, ecosystems and other businesses around the world. This also means
our economic, social and environmental impacts extend beyond our own operations and our direct control. We believe in deep long-term partnerships and networks that
use the size and scale of our business to leverage change – from the producers and manufacturers that supply us all the way to our customers and consumers.
The diagram below identifies the key stages of our value chain. To learn more about the material topics and relevant SDGs for each stage please refer to our website here.
