Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]
These pages of our ☐ annual report: This URL on our ☒ https://www.gpt.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance website:
The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 13 February 2026 and has been approved by the board.
The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]
Date: 16 February 2026
Name of authorised officer Emma Lawler, Company Secretary authorising lodgement:
1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.
Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.
Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.
Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.
The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.
2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.
3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

1.Corporate Governance Framework
Details of GPT’s governance arrangements, including Board and Committee Charters and key policies which are described in more detail in this Statement, can be found on GPT’s website under Corporate Governance.
These charters and key policies are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, to enable GPT to meet regulatory requirements and evolving stakeholder expectations and maintain a high standard of corporate governance.
GPT’s corporate governance framework is designed to deliver on our purpose and strategy and is guided by our risk framework and values.

2. The Board
2.1. Role and Responsibilities of the Board
The Board’s Governance Framework, as shown on page 4, is based on accountability, effective delegation and adequate oversight to support sound decision making. The Board is accountable to securityholders for GPT’s performance and responsible for the overall management and governance of GPT, as well as setting GPT’s strategic objectives and risk appetite.
The Board was actively engaged in its governance responsibilities throughout the year, fulfilling its role in accordance with the Board and Committee Charters. Board and Committee meetings are the main forum for the Board to monitor GPT’s performance, set expectations for Management and provide oversight on progress against GPT’s strategy.
Clear planning and agenda setting enables the Board and its Committees to use their time effectively. Each year there are eight planned Board meetings, with additional meetings scheduled as required. In addition, there is an annual strategy session for the Board to review and endorse the strategy.
A forward planner is in place for the Board and each of its committees to balance the different areas requiring the Board’s attention and to enable all responsibilities under the Board and Committee Charters to be met. Time was allocated in 2025 to hear from experts in relevant fields, both internal and external to GPT, to further the Board’s knowledge in specific areas. In addition, the Board toured GPT’s assets and engaged directly with GPT’s people.

2.2. Board Composition
The Board is committed to maintaining a mix of diversity, skills, experience and expertise to enable it to discharge its responsibilities.
The Board has a majority of independent, Non-Executive Directors and a mix of tenures to balance those who have established knowledge of GPT’s business and history, with those who bring a fresh perspective and different insights.
As at 31 December 2025, the Board comprised six independent Non-Executive Directors and the CEO and Managing Director. The Chairman of the Board is an independent Non-Executive Director who is responsible for providing leadership to the Board. Biographies for each of the Directors, including their experience and qualifications, are available in the Governance section of the 2025 Annual Report and on GPT’s website.
| Director | Independent Non-Executive |
Date of appointment |
Length of service at 31 December 2025 |
Last election/ re-election by securityholders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vickki McFadden(Chairman) | Yes | March 2018 | 7years, 10 months | 2024 |
| Russell Proutt(CEO and ManagingDirector) | No | March 2024 | 1year, 10 months | N/A |
| Anne Brennan | Yes | May2022 | 3years, 8 months | 2025 |
| Shane Gannon | Yes | May2023 | 2years, 8 months | 2023 |
| TraceyHorton AO | Yes | May2019 | 6years, 8 months | 2025 |
| Louise Mason | Yes | May2024 | 1year, 8 months | 2024 |
| Mark Menhinnitt | Yes | October 2019 | 6years, 3 months | 2023 |
As detailed in the Constitution of GPTMHL and the ASX Listing Rules, each Non-Executive Director appointed by the Board only holds office until elected at the following Annual General Meeting (AGM). In addition, the Constitution and ASX Listing Rules require that each Non-Executive Director may not hold office for more than three years from the date of their election or re-election without submitting for re-election at the Group’s AGM. At least one Director must stand for election each year. The Constitution, including these provisions, may only be amended by resolution by securityholders.
GPT provides all material information to securityholders that is relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Non-Executive Director at the AGM, including a statement by the Board as to whether it supports the election or re-election of the director and a summary of the reasons why.
On appointment, Directors are required to provide details of all existing directorships with other companies and organisations and other significant commitments and confirm that these other commitments do not affect their ability to perform or discharge responsibilities as a Director of GPT. Directors must also acknowledge that they have sufficient time to meet the necessary time commitments required by the appointment.
On an ongoing basis, Directors are required to consult with the Chairman (and in the case of the Chairman, the most senior Independent Director) before accepting any other (or further) directorships. The Chairman reviews the likely time commitment envisaged and may not consent to the commitment if a conflict may exist or if the time commitment required by the proposed appointment is such that the Director would be unable to act in the best interests of GPT. In considering this, the Chairman has regard to the number of other directorships held by the Director.

BACK To CoNTeNTS
2.3. Board Renewal
The GPT Board is responsible for reviewing its succession planning requirements and needs. If a new Non-Executive Director is proposed to be appointed to the Board, the Nomination Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection process. Before making a recommendation to the Board regarding potential candidates for the appointment of a new Non-Executive Director, the Nomination Committee assesses the Skills Matrix in section 2.4 and any future succession planning needs, including the tenure of the Directors and diversity on the Board. An external professional recruitment search firm may also be engaged.
GPT undertakes appropriate background checks in relation to character, experience, education, criminal record and bankruptcy history of a director prior to their appointment. Each Non-Executive Director receives a letter formalising and outlining the key terms of their appointment.
The appointment is part of the Board’s ongoing renewal process and Mr Osmond’s extensive experience in strategic investments, capital markets and financial evaluation of complex investments and opportunities complements the Board’s existing skills mix.
The Board recognises the value of diversity, and the Directors represent a range of ages and backgrounds. The Board has a gender goal of 40 per cent female, 40 per cent male and 20 per cent of any gender that hold the relevant skills and experience. As at 31 December 2025, 57 per cent of the Directors were female and 43 per cent male.
The Board also consists of a mix of tenures to balance knowledge of GPT and our business with fresh insights. 33 per cent of Non-Executive Directors have less than three years tenure and 66 per cent have greater than three years tenure at 31 December 2025. The average tenure of Non-Executive Directors is 4.8 years.
In September 2025, the Board announced the appointment of Tony Osmond to commence as a Non-Executive Director on 1 March 2026.
2.4. Board Skills Matrix
The Board is committed to maintaining a diversity of skills, experience, ethnicity and backgrounds in its membership. The Board has identified the skills and experience set out in the matrix in this section as those required for GPT’s Directors to provide effective governance and direction for the Group. This is reviewed on a regular basis in line with GPT’s strategic direction and changes in Directors’ skills and experience.
Having assessed its composition and the results of the analysis set out above, the Board considers that it has the appropriate mix of skills and experience to enable it to discharge its responsibilities.
The skills matrix continues to be reviewed and updated as appropriate and used by the Board as a key component of succession planning, Committee membership and professional development.
For each of the skills and experience identified, the level of experience is assessed using a set of objective criteria which include tertiary qualifications, relevant industry experience or qualifications, and length of experience at a senior level.

BACK To CoNTeNTS
2.5. Director Independence
The Board is responsible for determining the independence of each Non-Executive Director. In determining each Director’s independence, the Board refers to the following factors adapted from the ASX Principles and set out in the Board Charter:
-
The Director cannot be a substantial securityholder of GPT or associated directly with a substantial securityholder of GPT
-
The Director must not have been employed in an executive capacity with GPT within the last three years
-
The Director must not have been a principal of a material professional adviser or consultant to GPT within the last three years or an employee materially associated with the service provided
-
The Director must not have been a material supplier or customer to GPT within the last three years or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer during that period
-
The Director must not have a material contractual relationship with GPT other than as a director
-
The Director must not receive performance-based remuneration from, or participate in, an employee incentive scheme of the Group
-
The Director must not have been a partner or employee of GPT’s external auditor during the past year
-
The Director must not have served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of GPT
-
The Director must be free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of GPT, and
-
The Director must not have close personal ties with any person who falls into the categories described above.
The Board recognises that the above factors are relevant in determining independence but considers that independence is a matter of judgment having regard to all the facts and circumstances of particular relationships.
The Board considers that of the matters aforementioned, the most relevant consideration for determining the independence of GPT’s Directors is that a Director be free from any interest, business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of GPT. This principle is also used when considering issues, such as the materiality of any identified interest, business or relationship.
The Board evaluates the materiality of any interests or relationships on a case-by-case basis having regard to the circumstances of each Director. Based on the criteria above, the Board considers all its Non-Executive Directors to be independent as shown in the table in section 2.2.
2.6. Notification of Interests and Conflicts
Directors are required to take all reasonable steps to avoid actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. Should a conflict arise, it must be declared to the Chairman of the Board, or if the conflict involves the Chairman, to the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee.

BACK To CoNTeNTS
2.7. Induction and Board Education
On commencement of employment, all Directors and employees undertake an induction program which includes information on GPT’s values, Code of Conduct, health and safety, and employment practices and procedures. In addition, for Director induction, any new Directors meet with the members of the Executive Team and visit our assets as appropriate to discuss GPT’s strategy, our various businesses, our financial position and performance and risk management. This induction program is being provided to Mr Osmond ahead of his commencement on 1 March 2026.
Ongoing development is incorporated into the Board calendar which provides that Directors, individually and collectively, develop and maintain the skills and knowledge required for the Board to fulfil its role and responsibilities. This involves visits to GPT’s offices and assets and presentations on developments impacting the business and the wider economy.
In 2025, the Board visited GPT’s offices and assets in Sydney, Newcastle and Perth. The Board also gained insights and a deeper level of knowledge on topics such as economic outlook, capital markets, investor engagement, product development, Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, climate-related risks and opportunities and outlook for Australian property across various sectors.
2.8. Review of Board Performance
The Board considers that annual reviews of its performance are essential in enhancing the Board’s effectiveness, as well as providing an opportunity to raise and resolve issues. Performance reviews may be undertaken internally or with the assistance of an external facilitator and cover the activities of the Board and each of its committees with feedback being provided by the Directors and members of the Executive Team. An external review is undertaken every three years.
An external review of the Board, Committees and each Director’s performance was undertaken in 2025.
Key areas of assessment included:
-
Purpose, strategy and culture
-
Governance structure, roles and relationships
-
Board composition dynamics, performance and development
-
Board processes and decision making
-
Operational and financial performance monitoring
-
Risk and compliance management and monitoring
-
Oversight of Management, and
-
Stakeholder engagement.

2.9. Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings
The number of Board and Committee meetings held and Directors’ attendance at those meetings during 2025 is set out in the 2025 Annual Report.
Directors are expected to attend all scheduled Board meetings and scheduled meetings of those Committees of which they are a member, as outlined in the terms of appointment for each Director, unless they have advised the Chairman in advance of an inability to attend a meeting.
2.10. Access to Information and Independent Advice
2.11. Role of the Company Secretary
Each Director enters into an Access and Indemnity Deed with GPT which provides seven years’ access to documents after their retirement as a director. The Board collectively, and each Director individually, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman of the Board, has the right to seek independent professional advice in the performance of their duties as a director. Each Director also has unfettered access to internal records, the external auditor and senior Management.
The Board must approve the appointment or removal of the Company Secretary, and the Company Secretary is accountable to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. As at 31 December 2025, the Board had appointed two company secretaries. The qualifications, experience and other details of these company secretaries are set out in the 2025 Annual Report. All Directors have access to the company secretaries.

3.Board Committees
The Board has established the Audit and Risk, Human Resources and Remuneration and Nomination Committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities.
The Board also establishes special purpose committees as may be required to focus on specific matters.
The Chairman of each Committee is an independent Non-Executive Director with the appropriate qualifications and experience to carry out that role.
The Board receives minutes of Board Committee meetings and updates from the Chairman of each Committee to enable an appropriate flow of information between the Committees and the Board.
Unless a conflict arises, all Directors have access to Board Committee papers, may attend Committee meetings and receive minutes even if not a member of the relevant Committee. All Directors also have a standing invitation to attend all Committee meetings.
Each Committee has a formal charter setting out its responsibilities which is reviewed at least every three years. The charters were each reviewed and updated during 2025. Copies of those charters are available in the Corporate Governance section of GPT’s website, and the key responsibilities are noted on the following pages.

- BOARD AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION AND PERFORMANCE
BACK To CoNTeNTS
4. Board and Executive Remuneration and Performance
4.1. Director Remuneration
Details of GPT’s remuneration policies and the remuneration paid to Directors are set out in GPT’s Remuneration Report in the 2025 Annual Report. Non-Executive Directors receive fees which reflect their skills, responsibility and time commitment in the discharge of their duties. Performance based remuneration components do not form part of the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors to enable their independence to be maintained.
Non-Executive Directors do not receive any retirement benefits other than superannuation and the total aggregate amount of Directors’ fees (fee pool) paid to Non-Executive Directors must not exceed $2,200,000 per annum. Non-Executive Directors are paid compulsory superannuation at the statutory superannuation guarantee contribution rate as part of their fees. The members of the Nomination Committee do not receive additional fees for their role on that Committee.
In addition, GPT’s Minimum Security Holding Policy requires Non-Executive Directors to build (initially over four years from appointment) and maintain a minimum holding of GPT securities.
The minimum security holding requirement is equal to 100 per cent of annual base fees on the date of appointment and, in the case of the Chairman, the date of becoming Chairman. The value of the security holding is assessed by the higher of cost of the shares or the current market value at end of the period, being the number of securities multiplied by the volume-weighted average price for the 30-day period immediately prior to the start of the calendar year in which the assessment is performed.
Progress against this target is shown in the Remuneration Report in the 2025 Annual Report.
4.2. Executive Remuneration Framework
GPT’s remuneration framework is designed to demonstrate a clear and direct link between GPT’s performance and an individual’s performance and remuneration. The Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, aims to create a remuneration framework that:
-
Attracts and retains high performing executives and employees
-
Aligns to the delivery of long-term securityholder value
-
Provides a demonstrable link between strategy execution, performance and reward, and
-
Drives culture and conduct in line with our values.
In addition, GPT’s Minimum Security Holding Policy requires the CEO and members of the Executive Team to build (over five years from appointment) and maintain a minimum holding of GPT securities. The policy requires the CEO to maintain a holding equal to 150 per cent of average Total Package Value (TPV) over the five-year period, which is base remuneration plus superannuation.
For other Executive Team members, the minimum shareholding requirement is equal to 100 per cent of average TPV over the five-year period.
The value of the security holding is assessed by the volume-weighted average price for GPT securities for the 30-day period immediately prior to the start of the calendar year in which the assessment is performed.

- BOARD AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION AND PERFORMANCE
BACK To CoNTeNTS
Further detail regarding GPT’s remuneration framework is available in the Remuneration Report in the 2025 Annual Report.
The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee recommends the remuneration package for the CEO to the Board for approval, and in consultation with the CEO, approves the remuneration for other members of the Executive Team.
The Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee meet with a number of institutional investors each year to discuss GPT’s remuneration framework.
The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee discusses any feedback received when it reviews the remuneration framework.
GPT’s Securities Trading Policy restricts employees from hedging or entering an arrangement that would have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk relating to an element of their remuneration that is unvested, or which remains subject to a trading restriction or forfeiture condition. GPT’s Securities Trading Policy is available on GPT’s website.
4.3. Executive Performance
GPT has a performance management system to provide senior executives with clear performance objectives. Components of this system include GPT and business unit financial and non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs) consistent with GPT’s values.
From 2025, GPT adopted a Group Scorecard to determine how the short-term incentive pool is funded for eligible employees, including Executives. For the Group Scorecard to be funded at any level, a minimum financial (funds from operations) gate first needs to be achieved, meaning that any shortterm incentive compensation scheme (STIC) funding is wholly reliant on a minimum level of financial performance being delivered. The scorecard is designed to incentivise teams, based on financial and non-financial measures focused on delivering desired value creation across our business.
KPIs are set by the Board for the CEO and then cascaded into the business. GPT’s Remuneration Report in the 2025 Annual Report provides further detail on the assessment of performance of Key Management Personnel and links to GPT’s organisational culture and values.
The Chairman of the Board assesses the performance of the CEO against the KPIs. The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee considers that review and recommends the incentive plan outcomes to the Board for approval. The CEO conducts annual performance reviews of the Executive Team. The performance of the CEO and Executive Team during 2025 was reviewed in accordance with these principles.
Each senior executive has a written agreement setting out the terms of their employment and prior to any appointment of a senior executive, appropriate background checks are undertaken.

- CULTURE
BACK To CoNTeNTS
5. Culture
5.1. Purpose and Values
Our purpose, Experience First, puts our investors, customers and employees’ experience at the heart of everything we do.
GPT provides a workplace where our people can realise their potential and consistently deliver high performance in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Our diverse workforce benefits from a dynamic and flexible workplace, underpinned by a purpose-led culture where everyone feels respected and valued.
Our values guide how we deliver on our purpose, guiding how we behave to deliver our strategy:
Everyone counts
Imagine if... Go for it!
Make an impact
5.2. Culture
The Board is committed to having a transparent and inclusive culture at GPT and understands the importance of the Board’s and Management’s role in promoting and supporting behaviours that underpin the desired culture, as shown in our values.
The Board meets regularly with various levels of the organisation, both formally at meetings and informally during asset tours and employee functions to test and observe the organisation’s culture. The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee reviews a robust dashboard of lead and lag indicators of the desired culture quarterly, incorporating:

5.3. Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct is an important aspect of establishing and maintaining GPT’s culture and sets out the standards of behaviour expected of Directors and GPT employees.
All Directors and employees are bound by GPT’s Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct sets out what we expect of our people and provides a benchmark for ethical behaviour to assist in maintaining the trust and confidence of GPT’s stakeholders. The Code of Conduct also articulates the consequences if these expectations are not met. The Board is informed of any material breaches of the Code of Conduct via the Human Resources and Remuneration and Audit and Risk Committees.
In addition, Management has established a Behavioural Conduct Working Group which takes a systematic and proactive approach to managing behavioural conduct risks and minimising them as far as reasonably practicable. The Working Group is responsible for overseeing the processes for identifying, assessing, and managing behavioural conduct matters, as well as driving proactive initiatives aimed at preventing such issues from arising. Through this dual focus on oversight and prevention, the Group plays a key role in fostering a respectful, safe, and accountable workplace culture.
All employees receive Code of Conduct training on commencement of employment with GPT and routine refresher training thereafter. The code of conduct is available on GPT’s website.
5.4. Anti-Bribery, Fraud and Corruption Prevention Policy
GPT is committed to creating and maintaining a culture of corporate compliance and ethical behaviour.
GPT has zero tolerance for and strictly prohibits bribery, corruption and fraudulent or dishonest conduct. Our Anti-Bribery, Fraud and Corruption Prevention Policy provides GPT employees with information and guidance on how to recognise and deal with bribery, corruption and fraud issues. GPT is committed to creating and maintaining a culture of corporate compliance and ethical behaviour.
The policy also prohibits the making of political donations and provides guidance for employees on the acceptance and disclosure of gifts and benefits. All new employees receive Anti-Bribery, Fraud and Corruption Policy training on commencement of employment with GPT and routine refresher training thereafter. The Board is informed of any material breaches of the policy.
The policy is available on GPT’s website.

5.5. Whistleblower Policy
GPT is committed to creating a culture where people feel safe to speak up. One of the ways this is enabled is through the Whistleblower Policy that encourages eligible persons (as defined in the policy) to report concerns about suspected misconduct. All new employees receive Whistleblower Policy training on commencement of employment with GPT and refresher training thereafter.
Potential whistleblowers have several avenues to make reports as detailed in the Whistleblower Policy, including an external service – Your Call – which provides secure, confidential and independent whistleblowing reporting services using an email, web form and telephone service.
The Whistleblower Program provides updates to the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and/or CEO on Whistleblower matters between meetings as required. These reports are anonymised where necessary to protect whistleblowers who do not consent to the disclosure of their identity. As circumstances require, the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee or a member of the Whistleblower Program provides updates to the Chairman and the Board on Whistleblower matters. These are also anonymised where necessary.
The policy is available on GPT’s website.
The Audit and Risk Committee receives updates on any whistleblower matters at each of its meetings and conducts an annual review to identify any trends and assess the effectiveness of the program. These reports are anonymised.
5.6. Trading in GPT Securities and Hedging
The Board has approved a Securities Trading Policy for trading in GPT Securities. This policy provides that:
-
Subject to specific exemptions set out in the policy, Directors and employees are only permitted to trade in GPT securities in the six week period beginning one day after the announcement of GPT’s half year results, full year results, the Annual General Meeting, the release of the Group’s third quarter operational update to the ASX, the provision by the Board of forecasts in an offer document released to the market or any other period determined by the Board from time to time
-
Even during the permitted trading window, no Director or employee may deal in GPT securities if they have information which, if publicly available, might have a material impact on the price of those securities, and
-
Employees may not enter into an arrangement (with anyone) if the arrangement would have the effect of limiting that person’s risk exposure of an element of their remuneration that has not vested or has vested but remains subject to a trading restriction or forfeiture condition.
GPT’s Code of Conduct also sets out an explanation and prohibition of insider trading.
GPT’s Securities Trading Policy is available on GPT’s website.

The Risk Team, led by the General Counsel, regularly reports to the Audit and Risk Committee on matters relating to the Risk Management Framework, key risks, emerging risks, risk appetite and risk culture. A review of GPT’s Risk Management Framework was undertaken for 2025 and the Audit and Risk Committee is satisfied that the Group’s Risk Management Framework and related Risk Management Policy effectively support Management’s execution of strategy within the Board’s appetite for risk.
GPT also has a comprehensive Compliance Management Framework. The Audit and Risk Committee receives compliance reporting which includes details of any financial services, privacy or Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing breaches and remediation plans. In addition, both the Human Resources and Remuneration and Audit and Risk Committees receive a culture scorecard which includes reports on breaches of GPT’s policies and procedures and any action taken, in line with GPT’s Consequence Management Framework which forms part of the Code of Conduct.

6.2. Sustainability-Related Risks and Opportunities
GPT actively considers and addresses sustainability-related risks and opportunities (including climate) in our business practices and activities, with the aim to make our assets resilient and protect long-term value for GPT and our stakeholders. The Group’s formal policies, procedures and methods for identifying and managing these risks and opportunities are unified across the business.
GPT considers global sustainability standards and frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the International Sustainability Standards Boards (ISSB) Sustainability Disclosure Standards, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 2025 Annual Report and associated reporting suite addresses the Group’s material risks and opportunities, including any material exposure or value creation potential to environmental and social sustainability risks and opportunities, and the strategies used to manage them.
Alongside other business factors, climate and nature risk and opportunity considerations inform decision making across the Group, with the aim to both minimise GPT’s emissions and environmental impact, and to enable the resilience of GPT’s assets to the changing environment.
