Committee for Sustainable and Responsible Business (CSRB)
* Shows number of meetings attended / number eligible to attend ** Stepped down from the CSRB on 13 July 2016 *** Appointed to the CSRB on 6 July 2016 **** Stepped down from the CSRB on 31 December 2016 Accountability Our Operating Committee, chaired by our chief executive, Gavin Patterson, has collective responsibility for running our business and executing our strategy. It monitors the group’s financial, operational and customer service performance, and has cross-business oversight of all our lines of business. It also reviews the group’s principal risks and considers potential opportunities. Our chief sustainability officer, Niall Dunne, met with the committee six times this year. Targets for environmental and social activities within each line of business are set by the Operating Committee. The chief executive officer of each line of business is accountable for meeting these targets. Their remuneration is based on both financial and non-financial performance measures. This is reflected in a scorecard that tracks progress on objectives related to each of our 2020 ambitions. Wider governance Other governance bodies support our purposeful business activities.
