All other coal customers or mines were deemed as<br>metallurgical. 2 Consistent with the NZBA guidelines, our definition of thermal coal mining includes companies where more than 5% of their revenue is coming directly from their production and sale of thermal coal. Adjacent sectors, including<br>mining service providers, will be covered in other targets as appropriate.

Less physical, more digital, improved NPS.<br>27 Westpac Market Update - July 2022<br>1 Digital transactions include all payment transactions (Transfer Funds, Pay Anyone and BPAY) within Westpac Live and Compass, excl. Corporate Online and Business Banking online. 2 Digital consumer NPS is a Net Promoter Score<br>measuring the net likelihood of recommendation to others of the customer’s main financial institution for retail or business banking. Using a 11-point numerical scale where 10 is ‘Extremely likely’ and 0 is ‘Extremely unlikely’, Net Promoter<br>Score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors (0-6) from the percentage of Promoters (9-10). The digital Net Promotor Score is calculated from responses that are internally sourced from digital active customers after a<br>banking session.

TCE represents the maximum amount of credit exposure that Westpac has<br>committed to provide to a customer, both on and off balance sheet. For the purposes of setting net-zero targets, this TCE definition excludes secondary market trading or underwriting committed credit exposures.
