Our Approach to Reporting
Our aim is to provide a balanced and reasonable representation of our Company’s economic, environmental and social performance.
We are continually improving our reporting systems and endeavour to present useful and accurate information. Further background is available on our approach to reporting, why we report, who we report to, the basis of our data and a guide to our terminology.
The 2005 Full Sustainability Report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2002 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. It should be recognised that, due to the size and complexity of our business, judgements have had to be made regarding the extent of the information presented in relation to each GRI Indicator.
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information, including the figures, in this Report, the data are derived from our many operations around the world and, in some cases, grouped data are not strictly comparable. Anyone seeking to rely on information in this Report or seeking to draw detailed conclusions from the data should contact the Company for verification and assistance.
Your comments on the content and usability of our Sustainability Report are appreciated as they are useful in preparing future Reports. Please use our Feedback mechanism if you have any suggestions for our future Sustainability Reports.
