We’ve introduced a dedicated program of work on human rights, set up an Executive Human Rights and Diversity & Inclusion Committee and developed a business and human rights framework, which translates the UN principles into action.

We’ve also updated our Supply Chain Code of Conduct to cover a range of sustainability-related topics and expect the same standard from our suppliers that we apply to ourselves.
We protect our data and our customers’ data.
Our Information Security and Cyber Risk Management strategy drives our approach to data security risk.
