Implementing our strategy
Roadmap to Net-Zero
As a business, our overall aim is to ensure sustainable returns to our shareholders. As a Group we are committed to ensuring this can be done in a manner where we minimise risks, seize opportunities and so that our business continues to be strong in the years to come. Our focus on returns to shareholders is through our 4i principles, all of which are underpinned by ESG. Shareholder returns are an output of our inputs, which are our business model and ESG principles
