What are people saying about the SRS?

  • We were more than happy to support the Sustainability Reporting Standard when it was launched over four years ago, as it aligned well with our sustainability roadmap. We will shortly publish our fifth annual ESG report under the standard. Supporting the SRS has allowed us to highlight our progress in ESG to a range of our stakeholders since 2021.
