Sustainability report
It defines how we create and share value and cascades throughout our international partnership to drive long-term prosperity. It is also a fundamental component of our performance criteria and how we measure success.
We believe sustainability and equity can be engines for growth, so, in collaboration with our key stakeholders, we developed a robust strategy to promote inclusive, fair and sustainable economic development while driving social progress and promoting environmental stewardship.
Sustainability is embedded at the heart of our business and value chain.
Our corporate sustainability strategy
1. Upholding our values of integrity and responsibility
2. Putting people at the heart of our development
3. Contributing to local communities
4. Reducing our environmental impact
5. Supporting businesses on their sustainability journey

A word from our chairman

Johnny Meehan
“Our future success depends upon integrating sustainability into our core strategy and DNA. We firmly support the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and will use these frameworks to embed sustainability throughout our value chain, further driving global efforts towards more consistent and comparable disclosures.”
