Centred around three pillars – People, Planet and Partnerships – our sustainability strategy brings together the strengths of our people, low carbon technologies and partnerships with our suppliers and customers, in pursuit of the Net Zero future.

Our future strategic growth will be achieved by investing in:

• Developing our global talent and specialist competencies, alongside our commitment to stronger employee engagement.
• Prioritising our regional growth based on the key components of market drivers and customer needs.
• Investing in the right technology and innovation, including new product development that will differentiate us from the competition.

Our Group sustainability governance structure aligns with the existing Group business and governance model to ensure greatest efficiencies and no overlap. The Sustainability Committee is a sub-committee of the Executive Committee mandated to assist the CEO in recommending the Group’s Sustainability Strategy to the Board.

In particular:

• A Board member, Claire Hawkings, a Non-Executive Director, attends meetings on a regular basis. Claire brings ESG related expertise while strengthening communication between management and the Board.
• The Group Heads of Divisions now form part of the Sustainability Committee ensuring a strong team of management level influencers in relation to ESG.
