Our ESG governance structure aligns with our overall organisational structure and ensures that both ownership of, and accountability for, our ESG activities are embedded at all levels of our organisation.
By engaging with relevant stakeholders, regularly reviewing progress, and leveraging the expertise of our ESG Committee and ESG Sub-Committees, we aim to drive continual improvement in our ESG performance against our KPIs and targets.
Our accreditations which support the management of environmental and social issues are ISO accreditations for quality management (9001), environmental management (14001) and information security (27001).
