 as part of our bank wide Digital Acceleration Programme. We remain committed to our global mandatory training to complete annually, as it is essential for shaping our culture and maintaining a focus on critical issues, such as sustainability and financial crime risk. In line with this commitment, we have maintained our focus on senior leaders by launching new programs centred on Enterprise Risk Leadership, which are designed to equip them with the skills necessary to navigate an evolving risk environment. Effective leadership is essential for empowering our colleagues to develop critical skills, fostering a robust talent pipeline, and supporting our strategic ambitions. To facilitate this, we have introduced the Career Academy, which enables our colleagues to explore their aspirations, and continued to evolve our flagship Enterprise Leadership Programs, including uGrow, Accelerating Women’s Leadership, and Accelerating into Leadership. We have also expanded our Managing Director leadership offering, supported by a Leadership 360 survey, to ensure comprehensive development and alignment with our strategic goals.
