the principles of the IIRC framework by 2016.
Progress this year includes a revised depiction
of our business model, which better
demonstrates how we create long-term value
through the e ective use of our resources and
relationships, and clear links between our KPIs
and remuneration.
PLAN A Plan A is integrated throughout
this report to demonstrate how it is
embedded in every part of our business.
