DRAX GROUP – BIOMASS SOURCING POLICY
Page 2 of 13
Introduction
Policy purpose
This policy outlines Drax’s approach to sourcing biomass responsibly, so that all biomass we source delivers positive outcomes for climate, nature and people.
Applicability
This policy applies to full-time, part-time, permanent, or fixed-term colleagues that are employed by an entity in the Drax Group ("Drax"), which are paid through any Drax payroll, and to workers who carry out services for Drax, but are not employed directly by Drax, including those working at Drax via an agency or on a contractor basis. This policy applies to all such colleagues and workers irrespective of the country in which they are based.
Any reference to a formal Drax process (e.g., disciplinary) outlined in this policy applies to colleagues paid through a Drax payroll only.

How to speak up
If you become aware of any circumstances which you believe contravene this policy or may risk contravening it, refer to the How to report concerns' section of the Group Business Ethics Sharepoint Site.
Anyone who raises a concern in good faith will not face retaliation because of their actions, even if they turn out to be mistaken. However, failure to report may mean that you are at risk of Drax taking action against you.
