Sustainability Report 2023/24 Mobico Group plc Published November 2024 Sustainability is at the heart of Mobico Group Together, we move people We respect safely and responsibly the planet Contents Foreword People Planet Places ESG Data We connect places and transform communities Mobico Group Sustainability Report 2023/24 A better future through sustainable transport Transport is responsible for around a quarter of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions and the sector causes substantial negative impacts on the environment and human health. The way we travel has a direct impact on our environment, our communities, health and economies. The case for sustainable transport is clear: it is better for health, local economies and the environment. Leading modal shift away from private vehicles to mass transit positively impacts communities. Today, only 50% of urban residents worldwide have convenient access to public transport. By 2050, about 70% of the world's population will live in cities and 85% of the world's economic output will be generated by cities. The rapid rise in the number of people living in cities although imposing challenges, will also offer opportunities for a rapid move towards sustainable transport. Sustainable transport - with its objectives of universal access, enhanced safety, reduced environmental and climate impact, improved resilience, and greater efficiency - is central to sustainable development.

This has never been more important than in the current economic environment where public transport provides affordable access to employment, education, health services, travel destinations, the arts and entertainment, and most importantly - each other.

The aim of the workbook is to help create an inclusive, equitable and diverse workplace where everyone feels that they belong and are valued and included. The workbook builds on a suite of tools that support fostering inclusivity at work. The Inclusion Playbook for Colleagues makes clear the strong moral case for inclusivity and diversity: that it is the right thing to do, while recognising that an inclusive, diverse company is essential for business success. The workbook provides guidance on how colleagues can champion inclusion, including some of the practical things, making the point that small changes, as well as big changes, can make huge differences. It clearly states that the business wants to be a place where: Difference is valued Everyone has a voice Everyone feels safe and respected Inclusion is just part of how we work every day Topics covered include why inclusion matters, why allyship is important and how to be an active ally, and language that belongs and behaviours that don't. The playbook was launched to managers across the business, asking them to consider what changes they need to make, and actions they need to take, to foster a more inclusive workplace. And it has been provided to every colleague to encourage everyone to play their part.
