Forewords: The purpose of the policy is to explain to all stakeholders what we mean by corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how we propose to work towards achieving it. This statement of CSR represents a first step into defining our view and will be developed over time. The policy includes simple summary statements to provide a reference point to guide employees and stakeholders on the values which drive the conduct of our business and relationships with the world in which we operate; the way we interact with the world determines our place within it.
