Planet
The planet dimension of our activities is based on a growing understanding of the risks to our business represented by climate change and global warming, and the need to reduce our environmental footprint.
Our initial groupwide internal focus has been on creating awareness and encouraging behavioural change in recognition of our environmental responsibilities.
There is also scope to incorporate environmental considerations into our daily operations. We continue to explore areas within the environmental arena where new commercial opportunities may reside.
