Governance

We understand the importance of a good governance, which is why we have created a governance programme that drives transparency, accountability, and continuity.

There is a Board ESG Sub-Committee that meets months and has oversight of environmental, social and governance across the business.

The Steering Group is comprised of representatives across our divisions and key group functions.  Meeting monthly they review progress, are the accountable body for decision making and ensure the business is compliant across the environmental and social agenda.

Materiality Assessment

In 2019 we ran a materiality assessment and the matrix used to develop our five-pillar framework, which is aligned to the UN Sustainability Goals. Through the governance structure we have established KPIs to track progress and a risk register to mitigate risk across the business.

Business in the Community 

We were delighted to announce that Esken has joined Business in the Community, the largest and longest established business-led network dedicated to responsible business. BITC has a membership of over 600 businesses across Britain and Northern Ireland, each committed to continually embedding and improving their responsible business practice.
