The Group’s financing and financial risk management activities are centralised into Group Treasury to achieve benefits of scale and control. The Group’s policy is to align interest costs and operating profit of its major currencies in order to provide some protection against the translation exposure on foreign currency profits after tax. The Group may undertake borrowings and other hedging methods in the currencies of the countries where most of its assets are located. The Group’s objectives for managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an efficient capital structure to optimise the cost of capital. The Group monitors net debt (total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, short-term available for sale financial assets and financing derivative financial instruments) and at 31 December 2020 the Group had net debt of £8,954m (2019: £10,749m).
