Section 172 Companies Act 2006
A director of a company must act in the way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, taking into account the factors as listed in section 172 of the Companies Act 2006.
Engagement with our shareholders and wider stakeholder groups plays a vital role throughout the business. By understanding our stakeholders, we can factor into boardroom discussions the potential impact of our decisions on each stakeholder group and consider their needs and concerns.
The directors consider that the following groups are the Company’s key stakeholders. The directors seek to understand the respective interests of such stakeholder groups so that these may be properly considered in decisions. The directors do this through various methods, including: direct engagement by board members; receiving reports and updates from members of management who engage with such groups; and coverage in our board papers of relevant stakeholder interests with regard to proposed courses of action. Each stakeholder group requires a tailored engagement approach to foster effective and mutually beneficial relationships.
