Sustainability is integrated throughout our business from our strategic framework, our governance systems and policies, to the integrated financial planning process and business review cycles. Cross-functional and cross-sector steering groups provide expertise and oversight and our assurance framework and Internal Audit regularly assess compliance with policies and processes.
Our Board Environmental, Social and Governance Committee provides oversight and assurance of the Group’s agenda and progress, including approving ESG-related objectives and targets which form part of the executive incentives. At each meeting the Committee hears from both senior management and the Group’s subject matter experts. The Committee routinely reviews data and participates in site visits and meetings to engage directly with employees and hear their views. This dialogue enables the Committee to reflect employee perspectives in boardroom discussions.
Clear and open two-way communication from the boardroom, through the executive and across all our sites ensures our employees understand, appreciate and can contribute to the sustainability agenda which underpins strong operational performance and value for stakeholders.
