Our Reporting

The group demands high standards of corporate responsibility at divisional and corporate level. Reporting lines are defined from divisional level to the board of D&T, ensuring that all the divisions approach sustainability and corporate governance in line with group policies. Senior divisional management are measured on key aspects of sustainability. However, the ultimate responsibility for retaining full and effective control rests with the board of directors. Day-to-day management responsibility is placed with divisional management and their executive teams to best align with the group strategy and to act with urgency.

​

Divisional management is charged with the responsibility of reporting on risks and opportunities and on social, ethical and environmental concerns. The divisional boards/management boards/executive committees review risk reports, and all major risks are brought to the attention of the main board.

​

Any significant social, ethical, environmental or governance concerns will be brought to the attention of the D&T social and ethics committee and all material risks are reviewed by the D&T Board.

​

Each division is responsible for developing its own sustainability strategy within the framework set out by the group, while considering stakeholders’ needs and social and environmental obligations. Group committees and resources support the divisions with regard to risk management, environmental, social and ethical aspects, as well as management systems that systematically address safety, health, environment and quality risks.
