- Description
-
Each year, our COP is available for stakeholders to view on our corporate website. The 2006 COP will be published by June 2007. Our commitment to the GC is promoted through our corporate responsibility report and this year, we wrote for the second time to our key suppliers to highlight our support for the GC and what it means for our business. The COP acts as a signpost to other sections on our website that describe our progress against the GC principles.
