Discover and implement decarbonising integrations: Look to build out sustainability due diligence processes in Group operations and strategies. Looking to identify early-stage opportunities for delivering environmental or social value, as well as identify initiatives to improve our sustainability score in bids processes. Drive internal reviews: Conduct regular assessments and reviews of our methodologies, disclosure practices and chosen reporting frameworks.
