Awards and rankings

We benchmark our work on ESG issues against our peers and the wider business community. Throughout the year, we submit non-financial information to a range of indices. This is an important way for us to understand how our approach measures up to current standards, best practice and expectations.

We are very pleased that our ESG progress continues to be recognised externally.
