Our Vision, Mission, Strategy and Building Blocks for the Future

We support these with simple value measures and key performance indicators that we track to give a clear indication of our progress. We do not expect to achieve every value measure every year, but by making our targets clear, we believe we have a framework that will help us deliver long-term improvements for the benefit of all our stakeholders.

We have a strong vision and robust values for the business.
