Community Involvement
We are mindful of our responsibilities to the communities in which we operate and ensuring we continue to operate in a socially responsible manner is fundamental to creating long-term value for our investors
The way we invest in the community is set out in our Community Impact Framework.
Our performance measure in this area is the total amount invested in community projects.
