 ESG Framework

In 2022 we appointed a third-party sustainability agency to carry out a detailed materiality analysis for the business.  The results of this analysis were then used to shape our ESG strategy in line with the expectations of our stakeholders including; customers, employees, investors, governments and regulators.

Our sustainability / ESG approach spans eight workstream pillars that cover all our identified material issues.

Sustainable Sourcing & Product Lifecycle

Our aim is to minimise environmental impacts of our products across their whole lifecycle.

Information Security & Data Privacy

Protect the data of our business and customers from internal and external threats through effective risk management.

Governance, and Reporting

Maintain high standards of corporate governance and commit to fostering a culture of integrity across our business.

Health and Safety

Ensuring the well-being and safety of our team and others remains our focus and fundamental purpose as a company.
