INTRODUCTION
SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE AGAINST OUR FOCUS AREAS
DATA AND ASSURANCE
PRIORITISING SDGs
Our Purpose and our updated strategy led us to prioritising a fifth SDG in 2022, SDG 9. To further enhance our contribution to our five prioritised SDGs, we have
identified the relevant sub-goals against which we are developing metrics to measure our performance. Our material matters are informed by our prioritised SDGs
and the sub-goal metrics will enable an overall improvement on our sustainability performance, which is aligned with our ESG ambition and aim of being included
in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).
