Corporate Responsibility
Our social and environmental policy aims to ensure that social, environmental and ethical considerations are taken into account in all aspects of our activities. The Social & Environmental Committee (SEC) oversees the continual development and implementation of the Group’s environmental, social and community policies.
Through this work, the SEC is also able to identify and communicate any potential areas of non-financial risk. The SEC has responsibility for ongoing development of the social and environmental policy framework, and its implementation, improvement, management and monitoring. The Committee is chaired by Andy Pomfret – chief executive of Rathbone Brothers Plc; it meets on a quarterly basis and reports to the Board. The implementation of the social and environmental policy is managed on a day-to-day basis by committee members and a network of site-based personnel.
For further information about our commitment to corporate responsibility, please refer to the 2007 Annual Report.
