Against a backdrop of unprecedented disruption, cooperation across borders and sectors is more important than ever.

In September 2020, we signed the UN Global Compact's Statement from Business leaders for Renewed Global Cooperation. The statement highlights the fact that peace, justice and strong institutions are beneficial to the long-term viability of businesses and are foundational for upholding the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The concepts that are integral to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are embedded in our Responsible Business strategy. We align our operations to contribute towards a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular goals 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16 and 17, and we intend to continue to do so through to 2030.

Through the activities highlighted in our Responsible Business Report, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainable growth and how it has endured during a period of uncertainty, disruption and change.
