Corporate Responsibility
Doing right by people, place and planet.
Permanent ownership is itself a responsibility: to employees whose livelihoods depend on the businesses we own, to the communities where those businesses operate, and to the environment we all share. Our approach reflects that.
People
Long-tenured employment. Fair pay. Investment in training. The businesses we own are places people can build careers.
Communities
Local operations, local hiring, local giving. Our subsidiaries stay rooted in the places they were founded.
Environment
Reducing operational impact year on year, with pragmatic targets set at divisional level and measured at the group.
