Over the last years we have built a governance structure across the Group to effectively ensure that responsible practices are consistent throughout our companies. Our structure consists of a mix of teams of associates from around our business who collaborate to set and meet goals plus a core staff of CR experts to advise and guide our works.

At Executive Committee level , Nicolas Hollanders, Executive Vice President Human Resources, IT and Sustainability has responsibility for CR. He also sits on the CR Steering Committee and is the liaison for the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee sets the strategy, based on the recommendation of the CR Steering Committee, and monitors performance against our set goals. It is made up of senior leaders from across our Group.

The CR Steering Committee is chaired by Greg Amoroso.
