Primary Connect

Every distribution centre in our network across Australia and New Zealand now runs on 100% renewable electricity ⚡️What does this look like in our network?  - We have over 30 DCs across 5 states in AU and NZ, all powered by renewable energy.  - Across 14 of our sites, we host some of the largest rooftop solar installations in the country - enough to power nearly 4,000 homes. - From our 960kW EV Charger at Moorebank to our 28 fleet EVs, we’re now moving goods with zero-emissions power. - This transition also powers 40+ EV charging bays dedicated to our team members' own vehicles. Sustainable design, cleaner energy and smarter logistics. This is how we move things forward. #PrimaryConnect #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #SupplyChain

When you deliver fresh food and essentials to every corner of Australia, you cover a lot of ground. And we know that every kilometre counts. That’s why we’re focused not just on getting products where they need to go, but on how they get there. Today is World Sustainable Transport Day, and we wanted to share some of the steps we’re taking towards a cleaner fleet. We now have 28 Electric Vehicles (EVs) operating across our network, including e-axle trailers, electric yard tugs (like the one you see in the photo below), and EV prime movers. At our Moorebank National DC, we’re currently piloting five EV prime movers, all powered by a 960kW charging unit we installed last year. Along with putting more freight on rail, it’s how we’re helping build a more sustainable supply chain for everyone. Driving a cleaner future, one kilometre at a time. #SustainableTransportDay #PrimaryConnect #EVs Simon Lowden Chris Brooks Ben Newton Winfred Lai Phillip Farrugia Michael Shelley Gregor Tuckerman Domenic Gagliardi Rick Dani Bel Quince GAICD

Yesterday we were honoured to have Minister Catherine King MP attend and officially open our new state-of-the-art Moorebank Logistics Precinct, home to our Regional (RDC) and National (NDC) Distribution Centres. This $1.3 billion precinct is the Group's largest-ever single investment, and it could not have happened without the incredible expertise and dedication of our Primary Connect team. From planning to construction and implementation, your work has been outstanding. Thank you! This investment is a game-changer for our team with the automation significantly reducing heavy manual handling. We are incredibly proud of our team and what we have achieved together. These facilities will move over 5 million cartons per week to supermarkets, creating a more resilient supply chain for Australia. We would like to thank all our key partners for this project, Dematic and Vanderlande for your support with the technology, our project and construction partners, National Intermodal, #ESR, Qube, Richard Crookes Constructions, Mainbrace Constructions Pty Ltd and #Tactical. #WoolworthsGroup #PrimaryConnect #Moorebank Amanda Bardwell Scott Perkins Chris Brooks Tamara Manasserian Richard Gill Annette Karantoni Matthew Spiteri Jared Buckby Ralph Kemmler Andrew Loveday #DavidMoncrieff

Today's Foodbank Hunger Report reveals a sobering reality: one in three Aussie households experienced food insecurity in the past year. We’re proud to partner with Foodbank to play a role in addressing this hunger crisis. We donated 1.4 million kilos of food from our Distribution Centres to Foodbank last year - that’s 2.8 million meals to Australians in need. We also support Foodbank with pro-bono transport services, including dedicated pallet spaces and temperature-controlled vehicles on critical routes like Adelaide to Darwin. We moved 7.7 million kilos last year - supporting Foodbank to provide 13.8 million meals to those Aussies that need it most. By leveraging our extensive retail network, we're converting surplus food into hope for communities across Australia. #HungerInAustralia #HungerCrisis  #EndHunger #ZeroHunger Foodbank Australia Simon Lowden Chris Brooks Ben Newton Dale Acton Adam Fry Winfred Lai Adam Bray Kate S.

We were delighted to host WA Deputy Premier, Hon Rita Saffioti MLA, and Hon Jessica Stojkovski MLA at our Perth Regional Distribution Centre (PRDC) to showcase a major milestone in our commitment to Western Australia. Our $100 million PRDC expansion has officially reached the 50% construction mark! This investment is a core part of our commitment to strengthening WA's supply chain resilience and food security. Our Interim Managing Director, Chris Brooks, was proud to lead the tour, highlighting how this project will future-proof the state's supply chain and support the WA Government's 'Food Security Plan'. Once operational in early 2027, this expansion will: - Add over 10,000 sqm of capacity, including 6,000 sqm of advanced temperature-controlled space and 4,600 sqm for ambient products. - Feature 14 new state-of-the-art ripening rooms to ensure WA families get fresher produce with a longer shelf-life. - Reduce reliance on interstate transport, insulating WA from national supply disruptions. - Support local jobs, creating 226 roles during construction and supporting 389 ongoing jobs. Thank you again to the Deputy Premier and Minister for joining us to mark this important step. Thank you also to our partners for this project, including Capstone Construction, Growthpoint Properties Australia and Perth Airport. We're proud to be investing in WA's long-term growth.
