Environmental, Social,
and Governance (ESG)
Radiopharm Theranostics (“RAD”, “Radiopharm” or the “Company”) is committed to
the principles of ESG as the most effective means of creating long-term enterprise
value and addressing the societal priorities enshrined in the United Nations’
Sustainable Development Goals. In July 2021, we commenced reporting on the
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures of the Stakeholder
Capitalism Metrics (SCM) of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
We continue to progress our disclosures in the form of a set of universal, comparable ESG metrics focused on
people, planet, prosperity and principles of governance that organisations can report on regardless of industry or
region.
We use this universal ESG framework to align our mainstream reporting on performance against ESG indicators. By
integrating ESG metrics into our governance, business strategy, and performance management process, we
diligently consider all pertinent risks and opportunities in running our business. We continue to look for
opportunities for further transparency on the topics which are material to our business.
To track our disclosure progress and demonstrate our sustainability performance against the WEF SCM framework
we utilise Social suite’s ESG Go disclosure platform.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Governance Body Composition
Radiopharm is governed by its Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. A description of director expertise,
tenure, committee roles, meeting attendance, other significant positions and commitments and remuneration are
outlined in the Annual Financial Report.
The skills and perspectives of our board members are important for ongoing decisions and governance, with respect
to the everyday running of the company as well as important economic, environmental, and social topics.
The Board has referred to the guidance provided by the ASX Corporate Governance Council and acknowledges the
recommendation that a majority of the Board of a listed entity should be independent and will work towards this
outcome as the Company continues to grow.
The Board is cognisant of maintaining a balance of diversity, skills, experience, and independence amongst its
members. The process of formally integrating ESG competencies into the Board Skills Matrix is underway.

GHG Emissions
Radiopharm does not consider greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be a material stakeholder capitalism metric at
this time, due to its small workforce and limited office-space footprint. RAD currently considers airline travel to be

for flights.

stakeholder capitalism metric at this time, due to its small workforce and limited office-space footprint.
Land Use and Key Biodiversity Areas

this time, as it operated from small offices in urban areas.
