It is this Working Group that works together to set the strategy for the year ahead and to prepare the Transparency Statement.

In 2021, the Group decided to formalise its long-term ambition to use its influence and expertise to help facilitate the sustainability transition of the global economy as a key pillar of Group strategy, and to further drive business line strategy integration. The Group has set a common strategic priority framework, shown in the diagram below, to provide clear focus in ensuring that sustainability is a strategic imperative across the Group’s business model.

These priorities include working against inequality and safeguarding responsible business conduct and our response to the Modern Slavery Act is supporting theses priorities.
