Understanding and prioritising the issues that matter most to us and to our stakeholders ensures that we effectively manage our business for the long term.
We identify issues in terms of the potential for impact on us and our key stakeholders, including our customers, investors and suppliers. We also consider our ability to influence the issue. These issues may be both an opportunity and a risk to our ability to deliver value.
Our materiality assessment informs our strategy, approach and reporting.
We take account of external developments and examine issues in their wider context. We believe the most material issues for us include:
- Product safety
- Product efficiency and environmental performance
- Business ethics and compliance
- Employee engagement
- Employee safety
Our goal is to be recognised as a leading sustainable business. To achieve this we have established a dashboard of higher stretching targets, showing progress towards improved sustainability performance. This target dashboard is available online, supported by a range of case studies from across our business. Annual performance data is reported through our interactive data charting tool.
