Sustainability Report 2023

Our Progress:Case Studies

We are pleased with the progress we have made over the past 12 months on a number of our Making a Difference objectives. As explained earlier in this report, we are increasingly embedding Sustainability in to the wider business strategy and this level of integration can be seen in initiatives from the last year that have made a positive contribution to more than one area of our Sustainability strategy.

Two such examples are shown below, where we have outlined their interaction with our Sustainability pillars and topics. For more information on each, please see the pages that follow.
