Our policies are published here, together with our approach to issues which relate to our business and which affect or concern society today.

In this section, we provide details of our 2002 performance and progress in managing the balance between the economic, environmental and social priorities to provide for a healthy future.

Our primary role as an economic entity is to create value for our stakeholders, but we recognise, and we believe the majority of our stakeholders accept, that we also have a requirement to operate within society in a positive, responsible and constructive way.

To continue to meet that requirement, we aim to build on the progress we have made with our CR programme over the last two years and deliver continuous improvement in our CR performance in the years to come.
