Various corporate governance practices are discussed within this statement. For further information on corporate governance policies adopted by Monadelphous Group Limited refer to our website: www.monadelphous.com.au

Shareholders’ Interests

The Board and the executive management team of Monadelphous commits to the principle that all policies, procedures, decisions and actions of the Company will be directed toward the protection and promotion of shareholders’ long term interests.

Board and Management Functions

The Board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and setting the risk parameters and framework within which management is to operate.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated, by the Board, to the Managing Director and the executive management team, including implementing the strategic objectives of the Company. Management is responsible for designing and implementing the risk management framework for the Company and operating within the risk parameters set by the Board. It is also responsible for providing accurate, timely and clear information to enable the Board to perform its responsibilities. The Board ensures that the management team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Managing Director and the executive management team.

Whilst at all times the Board retains full responsibility for guiding and monitoring the Company, in discharging its stewardship it makes use of sub-committees. Specialist committees are able to focus on a particular responsibility and provide informed feedback to the Board.

To this end the Board has established the following committees:

• Audit

• Nomination

• Remuneration

The roles and responsibilities of these committees are discussed throughout this Corporate Governance Statement.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risk identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved including:

• Board approval of a strategic plan designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk;

• ongoing development of the strategic plan and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure continued growth and success of the Company; and

• implementation of budgets by management and monitoring progress against budgets – via the establishment and reporting of both financial and non-financial key performance indicators.

Other functions reserved to the Board include:

• approving and monitoring financial reporting, including the annual and half-yearly financial reports;

• approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures;

• the identification, assessment, appropriate management and monitoring of any significant risks that arise;

• approving the Company’s remuneration framework;

• monitoring the effectiveness of the Company’s governance practices;

• approving the Company’s dividend policy and authorising payment of dividends;

• setting measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and monitoring the Company’s progress in achieving them;

• oversight of the Company’s continuous disclosure process to ensure timely and balanced disclosure of all material information; and

• reporting to shareholders.

Structure of the Board

Board Skills and Experience

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report in the 2019 Annual Report. The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience is required to act as a Director of the Company.

The skills and experience required of the Board and its Sub-Committees is detailed in the Monadelphous Board Skills Matrix, which is summarised below. The objective of the matrix is to align the skills and experience on the Board with the Group’s strategic objectives. The Nomination Committee assists the Board with the regular review of the qualifications, skills, competencies, experience, independence and diversity represented on the Board and its Sub-Committees. Where gaps are identified, the Committee is responsible for identifying whether training or development is required or recommending changes to the Board in relation to its structure, size and operation.

Corporate Governance Statement

A summary of the key skills and experience required on the Board of Monadelphous, as detailed in the Monadelphous Board Skills Matrix, is as follows:

STRATEGY Strategic Direction Executive experience in developing and implementing strategy successfully Strategic Acquisitions Experience in identifying strategic acquisition opportunities and integrating and developing the opportunities GOVERNANCE & RISK Governance Experience in the governance of organisations Risk Executive exposure to identifying risk and managing to acceptable levels Legal Executive experience in legal compliance, contract negotiation and management MARKETS Industry Experience - Resources Relevant industry experience from working in the resources sector within which the Company operates or strong knowledge of the sector Industry Experience - Energy Relevant industry experience from working in the energy sector within which the Company operates or strong knowledge of the sector Industry Experience - Infrastructure Relevant industry experience from working in the infrastructure sectors within which the Company operates or strong knowledge of the sector Industry Experience - New Markets Relevant industry experience of the new sectors that Monadelphous is targeting International Experience Industry experience in foreign markets within which Monadelphous operates or wishes to target PEOPLE Values Strong alignment to Company values Health, Safety and Environment Experience in workplace health, safety and environment Remuneration Experience with remuneration frameworks including executive remuneration and incentive programs FINANCIAL Financial Acumen Executive level exposure to accounting and financial reporting and requirements, internal financial controls and financial risk assessment TECHNOLOGY Experience in information technology and operational technology

Independence

Directors of Monadelphous are considered to be independent when they are not allied with the interests of management, a substantial shareholder or other relevant stakeholder. Independent directors are free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or could reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect their capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

In the context of director independence, ‘materiality’ is considered from both the Company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.

Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and any similar factors.

When assessing the independence of a Director, the Board considers the definition of independence and the factors set out in Box 2.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. In accordance with the definition of independence, and the materiality thresholds set, Mr P. J. Dempsey, Mr C. P. Michelmore, Mr D. R. Voss, Ms H. J. Gillies and Ms S. L. Murphy are all considered to be independent directors, representing the majority of the Board.

The Board believes that while the Chairman is not independent, the current composition of the Board with its combined skills and capability, and its mix of experience, best serve the interests of the shareholders. The composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually.

6

Corporate Governance Statement

The role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are not exercised by the same individual.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

C. G. B. Rubino 28 years Executive Director R. Velletri 27 years Executive Director P. J. Dempsey 16 years Lead Independent Non-Executive Director C. P. Michelmore 12 years Independent Non-Executive Director D. R. Voss 5 years Independent Non-Executive Director H. J. Gillies 3 years Independent Non-Executive Director S. L. Murphy 4 months Independent Non-Executive Director

Trading Policy

Under the Company’s Share Trading Policy, Key Management Personnel and other employees may only trade in securities of the Company during specific periods, and then only if they do not possess any unpublished, price-sensitive information in relation to those securities.

The trading periods in which buying and selling of the Company’s securities, either directly or indirectly, by a Key Management Personnel or other employee is allowed, spans the periods between 24 hours and 30 working days after each of the following events:

• release of the annual and half-yearly results to the ASX;

• the close of the Annual General Meeting; or

• any other time as the Board of Directors of Monadelphous permits.

All other periods are “closed periods” during which Key Management Personnel and other employees are prohibited from dealing in Monadelphous securities, except with the explicit approval of the Chairman. From time to time, the Board of Directors of Monadelphous may also declare that Key Management Personnel and other employees are prohibited from dealing in Monadelphous securities during trading periods even though those trading periods are not closed periods.

Before commencing to trade, a Key Management Personnel or other employee must first notify the Company Secretary of their intention to do so. The notification must state that the proposed purchase or sale is not as a result of access to, or being in possession of, price sensitive information that is not currently in the public domain.

As required by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by the Directors in the securities of the Company.

Nomination Committee

The Board has a Nomination Committee which operates under a charter and meets at least annually. The Nomination Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board continues to operate within the established guidelines, including when necessary, selecting candidates for the position of director. During the year, the Nomination Committee was comprised of four independent non-executive directors and the Chairman of the Board. Members of the Nomination Committee throughout the year were:

C. G. B. Rubino (Chairman) C. P. Michelmore P. J. Dempsey D. R. Voss

H. J. Gillies

Subsequent to year end, on 2 September 2019, Ms S. L. Murphy was appointed to the Nomination Committee.

Whilst the Chairman of the Nomination Committee is not independent, the Board believes that Mr Rubino’s extensive background, knowledge and experience of the Company and industry in which the Company operates, combined with the mix of qualifications, competencies and experience of the other Nomination Committee members, enable the Nomination Committee to effectively discharge its duties.

The Nomination Committee assists the Board with maintaining the board skills matrix and identifying gaps and professional development opportunities for directors throughout the year. It also assists with the selection of candidates for the position of director. Once a candidate has been identified, background checks are undertaken in accordance with the Monadelphous Director and Senior Executive Recruitment Checklist, including reference checks, bankruptcy and criminal record checks and validation of education records. All material information in the Company’s possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director is provided to shareholders, via the Notice of Meeting, market disclosures and the annual report. Upon appointment, the Director signs a written agreement setting out the terms of their appointment. The Director participates in a director induction process and is provided with information about Monadelphous, its operations, the Board, the Company’s governance systems and any other information necessary to enable them to perform their role effectively. It also includes meetings with other Directors and executive management and visits to operational locations.

Risk

Risk management roles and responsibilities

Corporate Governance Statement

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have ultimate accountability to the Board for the risk management and internal control system. The Group Risk function is responsible for the risk management framework. The risk management framework describes the processes and tools available to manage the risks which relate to the achievement of the Group’s vision and strategic objectives. It involves the identification of particular risks relevant to the Group’s objectives, assessing them in terms of likelihood and magnitude of impact, determining a response strategy and monitoring progress. It also provides a feedback mechanism to enable knowledge sharing. The framework is designed to identify potential events that may affect the Group, and manage risks within tolerance levels endorsed by the Board to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of vision and strategic objectives.

The risk management framework is made up of the following elements:

1. Control Environment – The control environment sets the tone for the Company’s risk management, influencing the risk consciousness of its people and sets the basis for how risk is viewed and addressed. It is the foundation for all other components of risk management and provides discipline and structure. It includes the Company’s risk management philosophy and risk appetite, integrity and ethical values, and the environment in which it operates.

2. Risk Identification and Assessment – The identification and evaluation of internal and external factors that impact the Company’s performance and ability to meet its vision and strategic objectives. This includes the structured and disciplined oversight of all operations at both the board and executive level and periodic environmental scans to understand current conditions in which the Company operates.

3. Risk Management and Control Activities – Risk management processes, including related systems of internal control, are formalised and maintained within the Company’s Business Management System (BMS). The BMS contains the policies and procedures designed to ensure that the Company operates within the risk tolerance parameters set by the Board. The BMS formalises the actions to be taken to ensure the effective management of operations, protection of shareholder value, compliance management and regulatory reporting. Risk management processes and controls include a range of activities as diverse as approvals, authorisations, performance reviews and the appropriate segregation of duties. The Group Authority Matrix is a tool used to apply decision making authorities as approved by the Board consistently across the Group.

4. Information and Communication – Relevant information is identified, captured and effectively communicated in a timely manner that enables people to carry out their responsibilities effectively and efficiently. Technology plays an important role in the flow of information in the Company, from its core business systems for accounting, through to its incident reporting system which provides an early warning system detailing the effectiveness with which major incidents and hazards are being managed.

5. Monitoring and Reporting – The processes to determine whether performance objectives are being met and internal controls are operating as designed. Both key performance indicators and internal controls need to be monitored regularly to assess performance. Any deficiencies detected through these monitoring activities should be reported and corrective actions taken to ensure the continued reliance on the system. Tools in place include strategic planning and analysis, the annual budget process, key performance indicator reporting, customer surveys, board reporting, the Group Assurance function and its associated reporting to the Audit Committee, the ongoing quality certification process, and the Group’s innovation framework.

The Group Assurance function is responsible for providing an appraisal of the adequacy of and compliance with, the risk management and internal control system. The Group Assurance function reports to the Audit Committee and undertakes the annual audit timetable as approved by the Audit Committee. The function formally reports to the Audit Committee twice a year, or more regularly as required.

On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews the Company’s risk management framework and makes recommendations to the Board. A review of the framework was conducted during the year ended 30 June 2019.

The Board regularly receives updates from management as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks.

For further information on the Company’s risk management policy, refer to our website.

The Company is exposed to various risks in its day to day operation, including strategic, financial, operational, compliance, economic, environmental and technological risks.

The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives and long term sustainable growth is impacted by the effective management of the risks to which it is exposed. Each material risk identified above is discussed in more detail below.

Economic sustainability risks

• Demand – The Company operates in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors. The demand for Monadelphous’ services can vary greatly as a result of changes in market conditions, including the timing and award of projects, project deferrals and cancellations, changes in economic conditions, the cyclical nature of commodity prices and the demand for customers’ goods and services. Any changes in market conditions could impact the demand for Monadelphous’ services. In response to these risks, Monadelphous has an established growth and diversification strategy to broaden its exposure to unrelated markets, and this strategy mitigates the risk of varying demand levels for the services it provides.

• Competition – The markets in which Monadelphous operates are competitive by nature. The Company undertakes a comprehensive opportunity identification and selection process when tendering for projects. Increased levels of competition and competitors’ particular strategic objectives may result in the Company unsuccessfully tendering for projects. The Company regularly reviews its competitive market position and competitive advantage, as well as that of competitors, to ensure that it is well placed to secure opportunities as they arise.

• Contract pricing – The Company undertakes a variety of fixed price lump sum, schedule of unit rates or cost plus contracts, or a combination thereof. If Monadelphous underestimates the cost to complete a project, there is a risk that the Company’s financial performance may be negatively impacted. To mitigate this, a thorough review process is undertaken for all tenders prior to submission, and the Company has an established tender risk management system involving capable, experienced subject matter experts, historical data and productivity metrics and appropriate authority and approval levels.

• Project delivery – Monadelphous is involved in planning, developing, constructing, and executing a range of projects with varying degrees of difficulty. If projects are not executed effectively, there could be financial and/or reputational damage to the Company. In addition, if contractual claims or variations are not appropriately recorded and substantiated, the Company is exposed to the risk of financial loss. Monadelphous has a mature and robust project management system to effectively manage projects from inception to completion and employs experienced, capable employees that are familiar with the Company’s execution processes and methodologies. Projects are reviewed on an ongoing basis, including reviews by both executive management and the Board. Monadelphous recruits and employs suitably qualified and experienced personnel for the work that it undertakes, and provides them with the necessary resources to effectively execute their responsibilities in an efficient manner.

• Liquidity – In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to liquidity risks. Customers may extend payment terms beyond those contractually agreed and contractual variations or claims may take extended periods of time to resolve. In addition, certain contracts require the Company to provide bank guarantees or performance bonds. To ensure the Company maintains an effective and appropriate level of working capital, the Company undertakes appropriate credit verification procedures on its customers, regularly reviews project cash flows and closely monitors cash collections and payment obligations.

• Innovation and technology – The application of innovative solutions, including the use of technology, in the provision of engineering services can aid the delivery improvements in productivity, sustainability, safety and environmental performance. The failure to identify opportunities to apply innovation and technology can have a negative impact on the business in terms of a reduction in competitiveness and a deterioration in reputation resulting in financial loss. The Company drives innovation at all levels of the business through the application of its Innovation Framework. The Framework provides the strategic direction and governance structures to direct and focus the Company’s productivity and innovation activities, manage the associated costs and risks, prioritise and coordinate the delivery, and ensure collaboration across the business.

• Cyber security – The ever-increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber-attacks increases the risk of loss of personal and commercially sensitive information. This can lead to a breach of privacy regulations and financial and/or reputational damage to the Company. In response to the changing cyber security landscape, Monadelphous has established a dedicated cyber security capability to mitigate the risks associated with maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal information in our care, and the safeguarding of other commercially sensitive information.

Social sustainability risks

• Employee attraction, development and retention – As a services business, the Company’s intellectual property resides in its people and systems. It is imperative that the Company continues to attract, develop and retain highly competent people who live the Company’s values, are able to maximise their potential, and contribute towards the successful achievement of the strategic vision. The Company focuses on attracting people who desire to have a long term career at Monadelphous, whose experience demonstrates proven capability and whose behaviours exhibit cultural alignment. The Company actively helps new recruits to understand ‘the Monadelphous way’ and has created an environment that offers support from those more experienced and, where required, this approach is supplemented with relevant programs and workshops. Focus is placed on developing the skills and leadership capability required to enable the Company’s growth and diversification objectives, and providing opportunities for employees which facilitate career progression and retention by offering challenging roles, enabling employees to grow within areas they are motivated and able. Through its employee management practices, Monadelphous aims to retain all those who are aligned to the Company’s culture and who contribute to the long term success of the Company.

• Health and safety – Monadelphous is subject to occupational health and safety regulations and there is a high degree of operational risk inherent in the industries in which it operates. There is a risk of injury or loss of life to its people and those people it manages and interacts with. The Company operates under its safety directive ‘The Safe Way is the Only Way’, with a goal of zero harm. Monadelphous has a robust, effective and mature safety management system and is committed to monitoring and improving safety performance, ensuring the provision of safe work practices and providing training and initiatives that ensure the safety of its employees. Monadelphous is certified to the following standards: AS/NZS 4801 and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety management systems.

• Reputation – Monadelphous has a strong reputation for performance and delivery. The Company’s reputation assists its ability to secure and retain work, attract and retain employees and build strong supplier relationships. The Company’s reputation can be tarnished by safety and environmental incidents, poor project or financial performance, industrial unrest or unethical behaviour. The Monadelphous values and Code of Conduct provide the basis for the appropriate standards of behaviour and with the Company’s business management system and risk management methodologies combine to mitigate this risk.

Corporate Governance Statement

Environmental sustainability risks

The Company conducts work in environmentally sensitive areas and has a responsibility to protect the local ecosystems (including spills, emissions, erosion and sediment management) when delivering projects. Ensuring compliance with customer requirements and environmental legislation and regulation is critical to maintaining the Company’s reputation as a contractor of choice.

Mitigation of environmental risks includes maintenance and implementation of a certified environmental management system (AS/NZS ISO 14001) to ensure sustainable work practices and monitoring and minimising environmental impacts as far as practicable. The largest environmental impacts are those from energy consumption, gases utilised in welding processes and fuel used in vehicles, and plant and equipment. The Company routinely collects and monitors carbon reporting data. Monadelphous undertakes greenhouse and energy reporting under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act. The reportable scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (CO2e) remain significantly below the legislative reporting threshold.

Moves towards a low-carbon economy will bring change in a number of industries within which Monadelphous operates. The Company is committed to ongoing monitoring of its environmental risk profile and developing innovative climate change solutions in an effort to reduce emissions and energy consumption within its operations and those of its customers.

With the increasing impact of climate change and the growing importance of alternative sources of energy, Monadelphous’ expanding footprint in the renewable energy sector is an important step in its path towards broader environmental, economic and social sustainability. Since establishment, Zenviron, the Company’s renewable energy business, has been involved in the construction of eight wind farms, comprising a total of 387 wind turbines with generation capacity of 1,392 MW. This represents power for 777,000 homes and the displacement of 4.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. To date, 150 turbines are complete and in operation, with 237 turbines under construction.

Managing Director and CFO Declaration

Prior to the Board’s approval of the 31 December 2018 half year and 30 June 2019 full year financial statements, the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer provided a written statement to the Board that, in their opinion, the financial records have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.

External Auditor

The Group’s external auditor, Ernst & Young, attends the Annual General Meeting and is available to answer questions from shareholders relevant to the audit. Ernst & Young’s independence declaration is contained in the Directors’ Report in the 2019 Annual Report.

Performance

The performance of the Board, Sub-Committees and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and qualitative indicators. During the reporting period, the Nomination Committee conducted performance evaluations which involved an assessment of the Board’s, Sub-Committees’ and Senior Executives’ performance against qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. The performance criteria against which the Board and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Monadelphous. The Board and Sub-Committees also conducted self-assessments to ensure that their performance accords with best practice. No governance changes were required as a result of the reviews.

Remuneration Committee

It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Remuneration Committee links the nature and amount of executive directors’ and officers’ remuneration to the Company’s financial and operational performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

• retention and motivation of key executives

• attraction of quality management to the Company

• incentives which allow executives to share in the rewards of the success of Monadelphous, contingent upon their performance in and contribution to, achieving that success.

For full disclosure of the Company’s remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period, please refer to the Remuneration Report, which is contained within the Directors’ Report in the 2019 Annual Report.

In relation to the issuing of options under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and awards under the Combined Reward Plan, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of Monadelphous and the performance of the individual during the period. The Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan rules have been approved by shareholders.

There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to directors. There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits to non-executive directors.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors themselves and the executive team. The Board has established a Remuneration Committee, which during the year comprised three independent non-executive directors. Members of the Remuneration Committee throughout the year were:

C. P. Michelmore (Chairman) D. R. Voss

H. J. Gillies

Subsequent to year end, on 2 September 2019, Ms S. L. Murphy was appointed to the Remuneration Committee.

For details on the number of meetings of the Remuneration Committee held during the year and the attendees at those meetings, refer to the Directors’ Report in the 2019 Annual Report.

Company Secretary

The Company Secretary is appointed by the Board and is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board, which includes assisting with Board and Sub-Committee meetings, advising the Board on corporate governance matters and assisting with the induction and continuing professional development of Directors. Each Director has access to the Company Secretary.

Code of Conduct

The Monadelphous Code of Conduct provides guidance on the expected behaviour of all employees, so that decisions and actions taken reflect the highest standards of conduct when representing the Company.

The Code of Conduct is underpinned by the Monadelphous values. The Monadelphous values form the foundation of a way of life that stands the Company apart from all others. They represent what Monadelphous stands for and provide a basis for appropriate standards of behaviour. As a values-driven organisation, Monadelphous expects all employees to go beyond simply complying with minimum standards of personal conduct. The goal is to make every decision and every action something that everyone at Monadelphous can be proud of and that will promote and protect shareholders interests.

The Code of Conduct applies to all Monadelphous employees, including contractors and representatives whose terms of engagement require

compliance with the Code of Conduct.

During the year, the Code of Conduct was reviewed and enhanced, which included formalising Monadelphous’ Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy to reiterate the Company’s zero tolerance philosophy to any form of bribery and corruption in the conduct of its activities. This was complemented by anti-bribery and corruption training rolled out across the business.

In addition, Monadelphous added a new Supplier Code of Conduct to its behavioural framework which outlines minimum expectations of the conduct of its suppliers in the areas of health and safety, environmental, human rights, business integrity and ethics, emphasising its zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in supplier conduct.

Monadelphous operates in diverse markets and is committed to ensuring that all employees in its supply chain are treated fairly, ethically and with respect. The commitment to human rights is articulated through guiding principles which suppliers are expected to adhere to, including compliance with laws on employment practices, zero use of forced or compulsory labour, and equal opportunity in employment.

Monadelphous has in place a reporting framework, in which employees and contractors are able to report instances of actual or suspected unethical or unlawful conduct without fear of recrimination or reprisals, to the extent permitted by the law. It is expected that most concerns or queries regarding unethical or unlawful conduct are raised directly with a Company representative in accordance with the Code of Conduct. However, if an employee or contractor has a valid concern and does not believe it is appropriate to discuss the issue with a Company representative, or they do not feel the concern they raised has been adequately addressed, or they wish to maintain anonymity, they may report the issue to the Monadelphous Integrity Hotline. The Company is committed to fully investigating all concerns raised, and to rectifying any wrong doing which may have occurred to the extent practicable in all circumstances, and to the principle of fairness in all investigations. During the year, this service was enhanced, introducing the ability to raise concerns or queries via a secure online website.

For further details of the Code of Conduct please refer to our website.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Monadelphous, we recognise that the source of our competitive advantage is our people, and our success is a reflection of their quality and skills. We focus on attracting, developing and retaining the right people who are highly competent, live our values and actively contribute to the long term success of our business. Our workforce consists of people with diverse cultures, backgrounds and skills, and this diversity enriches our breadth of knowledge, capability and experience.

Monadelphous aims to embrace and nurture diversity and inclusion, where employees feel valued and inspired to contribute their best to deliver on our vision. We believe in the principle of equal opportunity in employment for all people, regardless of any personal attributes such as gender, sexual preference, marital status, pregnancy, family responsibilities, ethnicity, political or religious belief, cultural background, disability and age.

This commitment to diversity and inclusion is evidenced through, among other things:

• promoting the awareness of, and commitment to, workplace diversity principles,

• recruitment strategies that ensure we attract employees from a diverse pool of qualified candidates,

• policies and actions which ensure all employees are valued, encouraged and provided with opportunities to develop to their full potential,

• integration of workplace diversity principles into business and human resources processes and systems,

• intolerance of discrimination, harassment, vilification and victimisation, and

• establishing measurable objectives for achieving greater diversity and annually reviewing those objectives and the progress towards achieving them.

Ensure all female employees in senior management positions receive formal performance feedback with identified development opportunities, and are encouraged to enter into formal career mentoring relationships.	Formal performance feedback for employees was communicated as part of the annual performance appraisal process. Formal career mentoring relationships were established during the period, supporting senior female employees to identify and develop mentorship opportunities.
An annual executive review of development plans for female senior executives is performed by the General Manager Human Resources to ensure their appropriateness in developing and retaining Monadelphous’ key female talent.	The annual executive review of development plans was completed, resulting in a range of activities documented to further develop and retain Monadelphous key female talent. Activities included participation in immersive leadership programs (including the Monadelphous-led Emerging Leaders Program facilitated in partnership with AIM WA and the University of Western Australia).
The provision of suitable working arrangements for employees returning from parental leave and ongoing engagement with these employees during this period.	The provision of suitable and inclusive working arrangements for employees remains an important element of the Monadelphous employee value proposition, including supporting parents returning to work following parental leave.
The provision of a paid parental leave scheme associated with the birth of an employee’s child (or employee’s partner’s child) or the placement of a child with an employee for adoption.

Continued promotion of career opportunities in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors including presentations at career exhibitions, universities, professional institutions and other suitable forums to, amongst other things, engage females to consider engineering as a career choice.	Monadelphous representatives (recruitment, graduate coordinators and operational team members) attended events to continue promoting career opportunities in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors across Australia and New Zealand. Efforts to engage female graduates in the engineering discipline were enhanced by the provision of on-campus and industry-coordinated presentations by Monadelphous female engineers through the Girls in Engineering Program facilitated by the University of Western Australia (UWA), along with continued involvement in the Monadelphous Integrated Learning Centre at UWA. Focus on the promotion of engineering opportunities for female undergraduates has resulted in a female participation rate of 26% of all our undergraduate engineers (and 22% female graduate program participation overall).
A review of the number of candidates from diverse backgrounds identified as key talent for the purposes of succession planning.	A review of Monadelphous key talent continues to focus on highlighting the representation of those employees from diverse backgrounds as part of our consideration in succession planning and other talent management activities.

At the date of this report, Monadelphous had seven directors on the Board, comprising five men and two women. In June 2019, Ms Sue Murphy was appointed to the Board of Monadelphous. Ms Murphy’s breadth of experience in corporate governance, capital works development and productivity improvement enhances Monadelphous’ capability, and further enables it to achieve its strategic objectives and provide value for shareholders. Ms Helen Gillies continues to provide extensive knowledge and experience in international markets, infrastructure, power and water sectors to the Company after her appointment to the Board in September 2016.

The Board regularly reviews its composition and structure to ensure its membership is the most suitable to achieve long-term sustainable shareholder wealth. The Nomination Committee of the Board reviews its membership and recommends the appointment of new directors based on competency, experience and knowledge whilst being cognisant of the benefit of diversity to the Board’s make-up.

We recognise the special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the traditional custodians of the land, and the role that they play in the success of our business, and we acknowledge the special hardship and disadvantage which they have historically experienced.

Monadelphous supports the development of a united Australia which values the heritage and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, celebrates their achievements and contributions, and provides meaningful opportunities to close the gap in inequality and disadvantage.

We respect the original inhabitants of this land and recognise the unique position that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples occupy in Australian society. We are committed to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, businesses and communities to create sustainable pathways for employment, training and skills development. We want our workplace to reflect the diversity of the communities we work in, and we play our part to ensure that Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have an equal opportunity to enjoy a prosperous and safe future.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a commitment by Monadelphous to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel welcomed, respected and valued as employees, business partners and members of the community, especially those communities in which we operate. Monadelphous has been involved in Reconciliation Australia’s RAP program since the launch of our first RAP in 2013. Our strong inroads to date have enabled us to implement our Stretch RAP which includes bolder targets to establish a sustainable future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the businesses we work with. The Stretch RAP was officially launched in May 2018 and our commitments are being successfully fulfilled.
