Governance
We have carried out social materiality assessment and identified that strong leadership, compliance, wealth generation and resilience are key focus areas. Our objectives therefore align to these priorities:
Strategic objective: Be a strong, resilient business, threading ESG across the organisation.
There is already a strong leadership team with regular strategy meetings and reporting. The direction of the company is well communicated but there is an opportunity to use ESG to further strengthen the business and ensure robustness against external factors like climate change, supply chain security, and transitioning to a low carbon economy.
Our Goals
- Use framework to externally assess, report and validate ESG metrics
- Strengthen ESG policies to make useful documents with measurable results, using the GRI guidance
- Externally audit business risk and compliance
- Promote ESG goals and progress internally and externally
