We are committed to our role in protecting the future of our planet and we are clear on our commitments based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will:
- Publish a ‘responsible business and sustainability’ policy suite informed by the UN SDGs.
- Ensure our targets, statements and reporting reference these.
- Include ESG risks/opportunities in our operational risk register process.
- Include climate and other environmental risk statements in our Annual Report and comply with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) requirements in our Annual Report.
- Ensure our carbon targets are ‘science based’, i.e. aligned with a <1.5oC temperature rise.
We are also expanding our suite of metrics to create a consistent approach to reporting data; this includes (but is not limited to) reporting against relevant measures from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We are committed to:
Board accountability
Our Board is accountable for the delivery and success of our ESG strategy. To support it a ‘responsible business and sustainability (RBS) governance and reporting framework’ will be developed to ensure performance is managed and monitored from the top. We have also introduced sustainability targets across our senior management team’s performance reviews, to incentivise sustainability across the teams.
Transparent reports
We are expanding on our suite of metrics to create a consistent approach to reporting data; this includes (but is not limited to) reporting against relevant measures from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Continuous improvement
Through our stringent management processes, we are continuously reviewing and assessing our approach to sustainability, and ensuring we are responding to the issues that matter to our stakeholders.
