Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Index

We have developed this report using the Global Reporting Initiative G3 Guidelines, which provide a useful framework for examining the environmental, social and economic aspects of our performance to be included in the report. The report applies the GRI framework to an A level, which means that we have undertaken the G3 Profile and Management Approach disclosures and reported on all core indicators.
