    We are committed to making the Global Compact and it principles part of the strategy, culture and day to day operations of our company. We intend to collaborate in projects which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Millennium Development Goals. We will make a clear statement of the commitment to our stakeholders and the general public.

    We recognise it is a key requirement for participation in the Global Compact's annual submission. We support public accountability and transparency, and therefore commit to report on progress annually according to the Global Compact COP policy.
