Our sustainability strategy has been endorsed at the highest level in our business and is embedded into all our operations.
The Social Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors establishes principles governing social and environmental management and oversees the performance management to achieve our sustainability goals (social and environmental). It approves our sustainability strategy, commitments, targets, and policies (Read more in our 2023 Integrated Annual Report).
Our CEO and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) are ultimately accountable for performance against our sustainability goals.
The Sustainability Steering Committee, led by the CEO and including members from various functions such as Supply Chain, Procurement, Corporate Affairs & Sustainability, Finance, Risk, Commercial, meets quarterly. During these meetings, they discuss performance, approve new strategic initiatives and allocate resources.
At the local/market (Business Unit) level, our BU General Managers (GMs) have frontline responsibility. They do the following:
- monitor our sustainability performance regularly
- localise sustainability strategy for their market/BU
- prioritise the initiatives.
Together with the local leadership teams, our GMs are responsible for the execution of sustainability goals.
They are supported by our Group functions, Regional Directors, and Executive Leadership Teams (ELT) members. Function heads at both group and country levels integrate the sustainability targets and initiatives into their respective functional objectives and plans. Our employees are the key enablers for integrating sustainability principles into our business.
