Governance

Each area of corporate responsibility has its own governance process or managing committee, and is led by a member of the Board or Group Executive. These include:

• the Environmental Council, chaired by the Director – Engineering and Technology;
• the HS&E committee, chaired by the Chief Executive;
• the Global Council, chaired by the HR Director; and
• the Group Community Investment and Sponsorship committee, chaired by the Chief Executive.

Individual subject matter expertise is reviewed by the Corporate Responsibility Steering Group, which reports regularly to the Board.
This group comprises the Director Human Resources, Director of Public Affairs, Director of Risk, the General Counsel and Company Secretary. In addition, the corporate responsibility risk register uses the company risk process to identify the potential risks and opportunities, and mitigation plans to address these risks.
