Project Compass focuses our efforts on four areas to foster the long term sustainability of the Group: Environment, Community, People and Customer.
Working across the group, we have set ourselves ambitious sustainability goals, along with 12 special focus areas to help us meet our new group vision of being “A family business known for creating a better future together”. We will periodically report our progress against each of these goals.
