  • Inken Braunschmidt (designated non-executive director) has undertaken a number of engagement activities, including through her role on the employee engagement working group, and reports back to the board of directors on a regular basis
  • We built on the group’s engagement survey with the support of Gallup, providing valuable insights on issues that matter to our people
  • The company makes available an employee sharesave scheme to encourage employees’ involvement in our performance

How we supported employees during 2021
