SUSTAINABILITY@EXCELFORCE Sustainability is about ensuring our actions today do not deplete resources or damage the environment in a way that harms future generations. This means being mindful and present when making decisions and recognise their impact to our business and the broader ecosystem in which we operate. This includes our people, customers, shareholders, suppliers, the natural environment, and wider community. We must consider long-term implications of decisions and not just focus on short-term gains. Best balanced decisions are those that enable us to grow today AND allow future generations to thrive. Sustainability is not a checklist, but a way of thinking, a mindset. We believe in doing what is right, learning from our own experiences and that of others, and taking consistent steps forward. We understand the small things we do now lay the foundation for a stronger, more sustainable tomorrow. We are and will always be guided by our core values below in designing, developing and implementing practices on sustainability: 1. Respect – treat people with dignity and do not discriminate, 2.
