Managing for value

As part of strengthening the group’s core capabilities to deliver on the new strategy, the role of the corporate centre has evolved to one of an active shareholder responsible for setting the agenda in managing the six capitals – intellectual; financial; manufactured; social and relationship; human and natural. We make trade-offs between these capitals during our strategic journey to ensure sustainable value creation for all our stakeholders. In the reporting period a great deal of focus was on driving corporate strategy – allocating resources, capital and talent across the group.
