Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]The governance structures we have embedded regarding ESG and climate-related activities ensure a consistent approach. We have an ESG working group, which acts as an operational body to identify and recommend areas of focus and specific projects, as well as a Sustainability Steering Committee which provides appropriate challenge, ensures consistency (both with other climate activities as well as with the Group's ESG Framework and overall strategy), and provides senior level involvement and oversight. Key matters can, within this structure, be referred to the Group Board where appropriate.
