operational, management and Board-level experience in ESG ■ Responsible for the governance of ESG matters ■ Oversees the Group’s sustainability approach, policies, performance and commitments ■ Ensures that effective systems and processes are maintained
The oversight and management of climate-related risk and opportunities are accomplished through the same governance processes as other sustainability-related issues, as described in the Governance section of our Sustainability Report on pages 44 to 45. Our sustainability governance framework describes our approach to managing sustainability, including climate-related issues. This year, mindful of the reporting changes anticipated when the UK introduces Sustainability Reporting Standards (“SRS”) governing the disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities (expected for the Group’s FY2028 reporting cycle), we have chosen not to publish detailed financial quantification of the risks and opportunities likely to impact our business. Instead, we have taken the decision to assess the potential impacts in broad terms, and analyse the additional information we will need to gather in future to fulfil the requirements of UK SRS. The process followed and the impacts identified are outlined on pages 60 to 62.
