Avoiding risk is not always possible in the Agility operational context.  The company is unable to avoid risks for many material issues.  For example, human rights risks are unavoidable when managing a workforce with a high number of migrant workers, so instead of avoiding the risk we opt to retain and manage associated human rights risks  via prevention and reduction.

  • Governance.  Agility adheres to relevant tax law and it seeks to minimize the risk of uncertainty or disputes.  The company works collaboratively wherever possible with governments and fiscal authorities to resolve disputes and to achieve early agreement and certainty.
  • Transparency.  Agility seeks to build and sustain relationships with governments and fiscal authorities in the countries where it operates and the company believes that those relationships should be constructive and based on mutual respect.
  • Risk Management.  Agility strives to pay the tax that it owes under a reasonable interpretation of the law and to ensure that the company should pay tax only once on its profits as it has a responsibility to its stakeholders to be financially efficient and deliver a sustainable tax rate.

Historically Agility has reviewed and assessed its materiality framework on an annual basis.

 

In 2019, a comprehensive materiality assessment was completed, with more than 1,200 stakeholders engaged. Due to the changes from the sale of GIL, we have made a high-level reassessment of our material sustainability issues in 2021 and will complete a more thorough materiality assessment in 2022. Our interim assessment was based on discussions with senior stakeholders at Agility Group and at business unit level, including the Agility senior executive management team and management board.

A full description of Agility’s approach to stakeholder engagement and materiality is available on the materiality page of our sustainability website (see sources).

  3. Engage with stakeholders and actively monitor.
  4. Monitor issues evolution.

Issues of highest priority receive the most focus on performance reporting.

Agility has established goals around most material issues.  By the end of 2023, all material issues will have adopted goals and KPIs.  These will be shared in future reports.

i. actions to prevent or mitigate potential negative impacts;

Agility addresses negative impacts through policy, program implementation and transparent KPI-based reporting against established goals.

ii. actions to address actual negative impacts, including actions to provide for or cooperate in their remediation;

Generally speaking, Agility follows a plan-do-act-check process to address negative impacts.  In planning activities, the company assesses the materiality of issues and potential impacts from the business, followed by establishing goals, KPI’s and reporting criteria.

 

Once developed, program implementation follows and impact is measured and reported.  When reporting or operational goals are not being met, interventions are immediately implemented to improve reporting and goal performance.  Similarly, at the end of an annual or other periodic reporting cycle, the company assesses progress against goals, and uses the information to improve performance.  This process is most visibly illustrated in our fair labor program.  In 2022, we are establishing similar plan-do-act-check processes around other material issues such as emissions, gender, climate change, energy transition, health & safety, and road safety.

iii. actions to manage actual and potential positive impacts;

See above.

e. report the following information about tracking the effectiveness of the actions taken:

iv. lessons learned and how these have been incorporated into the organization’s operational policies and procedures;

Agility has been developing and structurally managing responsible business policies and programs for more than 15 years.  We have learned that stakeholder dialogue, good faith and transparency are critical to program success.

 

Seeking program performance feedback from constituent stakeholders like employees and charity partners is critical to the establishment of accurate and realistically achievable goals.  Strong process controls and performance measurement and reporting are also critical to success.  Lastly, we recognize that responsible business is a dynamic journey, and the team must be prepared to adjust materiality, goals, KPIs and program management in order to successfully manage negative impacts.

f. describe how engagement with stakeholders has informed the actions taken (3-3-d) and how it has informed whether the actions have been effective (3-3-e).

GRI 303: Water and Effluents 2018

# 303-1 Interactions with water as a shared resource

GRI Disclosure Requirements Agility’s Response (FY 2021)

a. A description of how the organization interacts with water, including how and where water is withdrawn, consumed, and discharged, and the water-related impacts the organization has caused or contributed to, or that are directly linked to its operations, products, or services by its business relationships (e.g., impacts caused by runoff).

Omitted: information unavailable / incomplete.  2021 represents a transition year for Agility and water is now on the sustainability agenda for assessment of its material relevance to the business.  In 2022, the company will have a clear strategy for understanding water consumption and discharge inasmuch as it is determined to be a material issue to the company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

Agility’s operations largely withdraw, consume and discharge water at their respective operating locations.  We estimate that most water originates from municipal supplies, including delivered water.  In some locations in Africa and India water may be withdrawn from wells.

Agility is not a water intensive company, with the exception of GCC Services, which provides remote life support and institutional food services, both of which are water intensive.  Generally, water consumption is low and we believe discharge impact is low, with the exception of GCC Services, which manages water discharge in strict conformance to health, safety and environmental requirements of its institutional customers and within its environmental policy framework.

b. A description of the approach used to identify water-related impacts, including the scope of assessments, their timeframe, and any tools or methodologies used.

In 2022, Agility will complete a detailed materiality assessment to determine the full scope of environmental impacts from water usage.

c. A description of how water-related impacts are addressed, including how the organization works with stakeholders to steward water as a shared resource, and how it engages with suppliers or customers with significant water-related impacts.

Agility complies with local laws and environmental regulations where water-related impacts are concerned.

d. An explanation of the process for setting any water-related goals and targets that are part of the organization’s approach to managing water and effluents, and how they relate to public policy and the local context of each area with water stress.

In 2022, Agility will complete a comprehensive materiality assessment including water issues.  If required, the company will set policies, goals and KPIs for the topic.

# 305-5 Reduction of GHG emissions

GRI Disclosure Requirements Agility’s Response (FY 2021) Sources

a. GHG emissions reduced as a direct result of reduction initiatives, in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.

Agility’s carbon footprint baseline has changed significantly following the sale of GIL. GIL had high scope 2 (electricity) emissions due to its global contract logistics and controlled warehouses footprint, and significant scope 3 emissions from outsourced services to airlines and ocean carriers — GIL’s 5.4 million metric tons of scope 3 emissions accounted for 97% of all Agility’s reported 2020 emissions.

 

Today, Agility’s scope 1 emissions are significantly higher due to the inclusion of Tristar’s operational emissions footprint, which includes a large fleet of fuel transport vessels and trucks under Tristar’s direct operational control.  Scope 2 emissions are lower as Agility’s direct contract logistics and controlled warehouses operational footprint is now smaller.

We do not yet have reporting systems in place for Scope 3 emissions, but we anticipate these will be significantly lower than in previous years, since we no longer operate a global freight forwarding business.

These will cover universal topics, such as fair labor, alongside business-specific content.

Our Agility Leadership & Management and Agility Way of Management programs provide personal and career development for our employees.  The courses use team-based project work to enable change management and drive our strategic agenda.  In 2021, 120 employees participated in these development programs, of whom 22% were female.

At the point of its sale to DSV in August 2021, GIL had reached the majority of our publicly reported fair labor goals. We are now resetting the same targets across all remaining group businesses, with the aim for all businesses to have undertaken human rights risk assessments by 2022, all  employees and management to have undertaken human rights training by 2023, and our largest emerging markets operations to have undertaken social audits based on internationally recognized standards by 2025.

Following the sale of GIL, we are reviewing our approach to supply chain management and engagement across our remaining controlled businesses. This work is currently at an early stage. We are rolling out our Supplier Code of Conduct and Fair Labor Code of Conduct to all Group companies and will begin updating relevant language in new supplier contracts across our businesses in 2022.

In 2022 and 2023, each of our businesses will work to gain a more transparent picture of their supply chains, alongside working with suppliers to progress environmental and social performance.  Human rights remain our priority, and we will work with labor providers to ensure they understand our fair labor and human rights requirements.
