Governance

Our Sustainability Governance Framework

The Group’s Sustainability Committee is responsible for developing and overseeing our sustainability strategy, policies and objectives.

Reporting directly to the Board, the Sustainability Committee is chaired by the Group Chief Executive and includes the Group Strategy and Regulatory Director, the Company Secretary and Group Sustainability Director.

The Committee meets on a bi-monthly basis and colleagues from across the Group are invited to meetings to discuss and present on specific issues.

The Committee fulfils an important governance role by setting the Group’s sustainability approach, and setting challenging targets, the Committee oversees the Group’s climate change strategy and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board.

The Group has identified three sustainability pillars with separate workstreams to drive our sustainability agenda. Each workstream is led by relevant senior operational management and is attended by the Group Sustainability Director.
