F i nance Month l y CFO Awards 2021 Firm Profile We are a significant employer, manufacturer, home builder, and partner on major construction and infrastructure projects. Our roots go back to 1909, when James Fletcher built his first house with Albert Morris in Dunedin, New Zealand. From those humble beginnings, we today employ some 14,500 people in New Zealand, Australia, and the South Pacific. In New Zealand, we employ some 9,000 people across almost every region of the country and make a significant contribution to both the national economy and many regional economies. In Australia, we have significant operations in the manufacture and distribution of building products, employing over 5,000 people across the country, and some 800 people working on construction in the South Pacific. We manufacture building products; from insulation that keeps homes warm and dry, to cement, the foundation of built structures the world over. We operate retail businesses that distribute these products and many more to tradespeople right across the Tasman. We also build homes, buildings, and infrastructure that create communities, improve productivity, and contribute to the quality of life for people living and working in cities and regions across our markets. Fletcher Building is dual listed on the NZX and ASX and operates through six divisions – Building Products, Distribution, Concrete, Residential and Development, Construction, and Australia. We are a major investor in local manufacturing in New Zealand and today, we are the only local fully integratedmanufacturer of cement left in the country, through our Golden Bay Cement business. We are committed to creating sustainable value for our shareholders, delivering the best quality products and services for our customers, and meeting or exceeding the reasonable expectations of all our stakeholders. We want to be the New Zealand and Australian leader in sustainable building materials, construction and distribution, and we’ve set ourselves some ambitious goals to get there. Our sustainability strategy focuses on what is most important to our business - our people, communities, customers, and investors - and where our actions will lead to meaningful change.
