AWI Net Zero Expenditure

Question

1. What was AWI's total expenditure in 2024-25 on net zero, emissions reduction, methane abatement, carbon storage, natural capital, environmental reporting, Woolmark+ sustainability, LCA datasets and related climate-aligned work? 2. How much of AWI's $60.680m RDM expenditure in 2024-25 was directed to projects that measure, report, reduce, offset or reframe emissions? 3. Sheep production expenditure seemed to fall by almost a quarter ($12.334m to $9.365m) while support and administration increased from $9.507m to $9.983m. Why did support and administration rise when revenue and overall expenditure fell? 4. What is the benchmark return Australian Wool Innovation requires before approving a project? Do you have a minimum RoI threshold for levy funded R&D? 5. Have you assessed whether emissions, carbon or sustainability reporting projects increase costs for small wool producers?
