Our Responsible Business 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 Responsible Business Committee and Sub-Committees, we aim to drive continual improvement in our 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).
Responsible Business Roles, responsibilities and accountabilities
- Partnership Board: Our Partnership Board is responsible for providing strategic direction to the Responsible Business Committee and is ultimately accountable to the Partnership for the successful delivery of our Responsible Business strategy.

The Committee is led by Grace Kerr, Partner, who is a member of the Partnership Board and reports to the Board on a bi-annual basis.
- Sub-Committees: Support on our six priority responsible business topics is provided by specialised Sub-Committees, which are led by our pillar leads. The Sub-Committee leads report back to the Responsible Business Committee on a quarterly basis.
