The board oversees and is ultimately responsible for sustainability – including material impacts, risks and opportunities and progress on the sustainability strategy. The sustainability committee and the audit and risk committees assist the board in fulfilling this responsibility, keeping it regularly informed to enable effective oversight. For further details on committee roles and responsibilities, please refer to the Corporate governance and risk management section.
The diverse experience and expertise of the sustainability and audit and risk committees members provide the board with a solid foundation of sustainability knowledge and competencies. Board members also undergo regular training on material sustainability topics to ensure effective and informed decision-making.
