We create and preserve value by developing and distributing a range of innovative services. We depend on various resources and relationships, known as the six capitals, to do this. We require inputs from each capital to deliver on our strategy, advance some of the SDGs and generate value for our stakeholders. When making decisions on allocating capital, we consider the availability of the capitals, the trade-offs between them and we seek to maximise positive outcomes and limit instances in which value is eroded. While transforming the stocks of capitals, we seek to grow inclusively, responsibly and sustainably.
