Last week, we held an internal drop-in session to introduce our new cross-functional Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Groups.
Bringing together colleagues from across the business, these groups will help streamline reporting, improve collaboration and identify opportunities to drive continuous improvement across our operations.
