Leading the way
We have a duty of care to leave a lasting legacy, that is not one of riches and corporate greed but one of kindness, empathy and awareness.
we’ve always had a strong sense of social, environmental and economic responsibility and an understanding that our success depends on society’s success. This is why we were one of the first global companies to implement a program of self monitoring on those areas that really matter (Global Impact Measures)
Today, with one billion people living in extreme poverty; malnutrition and obesity becoming more prevalent and our planet’s resources being pushed to their limits, our values are helping us to drive lasting, positive change in the UK and internationally.
We support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and want to play our part in tackling climate change, injustice and inequality and ending poverty. These 17 Goals also offer great economic opportunity and when an enterprise operates across multiple highly competitive industries like we do, they make strong commercial sense.
Our values help us strengthen relationships with all our stakeholders, build trust, reduce operating costs, mitigate risks and attract and retain talent in a crowded marketplace. We’re focusing our efforts where we can make the greatest difference and we believe collective action is the only way to address these global issues at the speed and scale required.
