We seek not only to meet our reporting obligations but to provide assurance that we are properly addressing our ESG responsibilities.
Our reporting is driven by several factors: internal awareness and use by management to inform decisions and track progress against our strategy and business plans; the requests for information from analysts and investors, and comments received through direct engagement with them; the interests of broader stakeholder groups who are increasingly interested in our ESG performance.
Subject Matter Leads produce management reports on initiatives, progress against thresholds and strategic objectives which are reported to the Group Executive Committee and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the plc Board. This narrative and data reporting enables trends to be identified and analysis against targets to help inform risk reviews, strategic decisions, and remuneration decisions.
