Corporate Responsibility is not just the right thing to do – it enhances our business reputation. 

Our approach to corporate responsibility is embedded through all levels of our organisation – from our Chief Executive through to the day to day operations.

This is our third Corporate Responsibility Report where we have reported against 12 key impact areas. These were identified back in 2005 as our most significant social and environmental impacts.

Each impact area is led by a member of our Executive Team, who is charged with driving performance and ensuring that corporate responsibility and strategic objectives are aligned – at operational level and in our future plans.

There are three sections to each Impact area – the Leader’s Overview, our Approach to managing that Impact, and a report on our Performance during the year. 

During 2008, we will continue with the ongoing review of our Corporate Responsibility Reporting, taking into account stakeholder feedback to ensure we reflect the values, activities and achievements of our evolving business and the expectations of our stakeholders.
