Our signing of the UN Global Compact will reinforce our commitment to our responsible business operations • The conversations alongside our performance management programme and career framework development will help drive our performance culture, creating an environment where everyone is welcome and can be successful
• This is a priority area for us to focus on in this new financial year

• Building on the new and successful ways of working created by the pandemic we will engage in conversation with our customers to explore how we can work together to reduce the impact on the environment through reducing non-essential travel • As our office environments come back to life, we are investing in education programmes to reduce our physical impact – from flexible working and minimising printing, to increasing recycling. And we will continue to review our physical office requirements to ensure we only use what we need • We’ll design solutions for the future, driving efficiency into our design and delivery • We have partnered with Willis Towers Watson to develop our approach to identifying and assessing climate change risk, which will support the development of a robust strategy and enable reporting against the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in 2022
