A word from the Chairman


I am a very strong believer that when good fortune does you a favor, you owe it to the world around you to repay that debt. And over the last 60 years of business, I am immensely proud of the wonderful work we have done to support, give back, and contribute prosperity to the communities in which we operate.


This work is the embodiment of a philosophy that has been central to the way we go about our business, and we continued our efforts in this area through 2022, with a heightened sense of urgency, given the pressure the pandemic has placed on charities and healthcare, and the way events in Ukraine developed. War there has beset untold suffering on Ukrainians, but also placed pressure on other societies dependent on both the resources of Ukraine and Russia for life essentials.


Our latest report details where we have sought to give back, and it also highlights more of the excellent work we’ve undertaken to foster an inclusive, equitable and diverse workplace in every


territory, and our continued focus on providing opportunity and development for our people.


While we’re proud of these achievements, we recognize our need to drive far greater impact through our business activities. In recent years, the effects of climate change have become more obvious with every disastrous flood, wildfire, and storm.


That is why sustainability has become a strategic priority for us. We understand that it’s imperative that we take fast action to do more and play a bigger role in protecting and preserving the climate and environment, building on the areas of sustainability in which we have always been so strong.


So in addition to sharing our efforts around community engagement, supporting our people and operating ethically, this report explains how we’re doing more, building on progress already made; how we’ve been laying the groundwork to


set a net zero target, how we’re harnessing our values and our people to increase our impact, and empower them to contribute.


Circling back to that I shared at the beginning, we are all determined to expand our work in “repaying that debt”, not just to those in-need in our communities, but to the world and its ecosystems which have given – and continue to give – us so much.


Thank you for taking the time to read about our progress over the last calendar year, and we look forward to sharing the outcomes of our work in 2023.
