Targets

Social

New target:
coordinate community initiatives across the Group

For 2010, we intend to continue to build a clearer picture of the extent of our employees’ and businesses’ engagement with the communities they operate in and further embed community initiatives across our businesses. Quarterly global themes will be used to reach all employees around social and community initiatives, each of which will be relevant and appropriate to the local market. The provision of materials, toolkits and activity ideas by our Corporate Responsibility Team will ensure a coordinated variety of community initiatives in 2010.

Environmental

Existing target reiterated:
Reduce 2008 carbon footprint per full time employee by 20% by 2010

For 2010, we will continue to work towards a 20% reduction of our carbon footprint with 2008 as our baseline. Reducing our environmental impacts makes business sense: it delivers financial efficiencies as well as environmental benefits. Working in partnership with the Green Beans, our businesses will highlight energy efficiency to our employees and institute corporate best practice to reduce our environmental impacts in areas such as IT, business travel, stationery and waste.
