CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY

We approach corporate responsibility from four perspectives, which we call the “four quadrants”—community, environment, people and marketplace.

By considering the wider impacts of our decisions in these four quadrants we are better able to develop a comprehensive strategy that embeds corporate responsibility into all our business planning and processes.
