Local action

We have devolved the management of our 'Can Do in the Community' investment programme to our individual operating businesses because they are best placed to understand local community needs. This activity is overseen by the Group Corporate Responsibility Forum and regularly reported to the Executive Committee and Board.

We try to work with charities that match the corporate responsibility challenges we face, such as child protection, privacy and recycling. We are naturally drawn to four main areas: youth, education, health and environment.
