Our governance structure ensures that the Transition Plan has oversight at the highest level of the business and is embedded across key functions. View our Sustainability Governance page to find out more.
Responsibilities are distributed to support implementation, accountability, and continued progress:
- The Group Board provides strategic oversight and formally approved the Group Transition Plan.
- The Board Sustainability Committee debates, reviews and scrutinises the strategy, its implementation, and approves plans to mitigate risks and leverage opportunities.
- Supporting committees, including the Audit, SHE (Safety, Health, Environment) and Remuneration, ensure that the transition plan is integrated into risk management, operations, and Board-level incentives.
- The Executive monitors delivery through committees including the SHE, Risk, and Land Committees, embedding transition plan activities into decision-making.
- Cross-functional Management Working Groups focus on implementation in priority areas including Scope 3 emissions, data and controls, stakeholder engagement, low-carbon homes, and waste.
Supporting policies
With the right policies in place, we can ensure that our approach to delivering our Transition Plan is embedded in our day-to-day operations. Our Net Zero Transition Plan is closely aligned with our wider sustainability framework and should be considered alongside the following policies: the Climate Change Policy, Ecology and Biodiversity Policy, Environmental Policy Statement, Sustainable Procurement Policy, Sustainability Policy, Timber Sourcing Policy, and Water Policy.
