With PLP embedded in all aspects of our organization and business practices, we have dedicated teams who represent our day-to-day governance of People, Communities and Planet." The PLP Governance structure includes the PLP Governing Council whom is responsible for integrating the PLP strategy with overall business strategy, including identification and approval of initiatives, e.g. all climate related activities, investments and resources for PLP goals. Furthermore, the overall process we have in place to ensure our engagement activities are consistent with our overall climate change strategy is stated in the 2021 PLP Report on page 23 "We have a global database for all our PLP goals, which expands our ability to review project status by region, priority and start and end dates. The database also helps us create global and regional dashboard reports, which track project priorities, status, complexity and monthly progress, in addition to a Roadmap Report, which identifies annual targets toward our goals, tracks progress and risks, and is used by our PLP Governing Council in global decision-making."
