2021 Progress

Our People Working Group is comprised of 22 representatives from different functions within the Company. Its primary responsibility is to achieve progress in the six focus areas of the People Pillar: Talent Attraction; Talent Management; Rewards; Occupational Health and Safety; Diversity and Inclusion; and Volunteering.

In 2021, we continued to work towards achieving our 2025 KPIs.
