Our Approach

We believe that ESG must be fully embedded within all activities for us to succeed.

Our Commitment to Stakeholders

We are committed to creating and operating a responsible and sustainable business which has a positive impact on all of our stakeholders. This includes improving our contribution to the environment, our social obligations to employees, suppliers, customers and the communities in which we operate.

Our activities will be guided by setting ambitious and challenging targets that will guide our strategy, operations and employees over the coming years. For more information see our ESG Strategy page.
