Our approach

Our ESG agenda is shaped by the leaders within each of our businesses. Environmental and social challenges differ by business and geography, and local knowledge is vital to setting and implementing meaningful programmes and delivering for stakeholders. As such, our reporting reflects the diversity of our five business segments – Retail, Grocery, Ingredients, Sugar and Agriculture.
