It is supported by a robust structure that ensures our standards meet or exceed legal requirements and our performance is closely monitored. Our approach consists of: Our values Our code of conduct Our policies Monitoring our performance Reflecting the importance we place on sustainability, a committee led by Chief Executive Officer David Mattiske, supported by senior members of the business, monitors progress and achievement in this area.
