CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

Strong sustainability governance structures and clear lines of accountability enable us to deliver on our Sustainability Strategy commitments and on our ESG Policies and Standards.

An overview of the ESG responsibilities within Sonnedix is displayed in the diagram. Performance evaluation for members of the Senior Leadership and Senior Membership teams is linked to achieving sustainability objectives ranging from health, safety and environment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Accountability and transparency are amongst our core governance objectives. As such, we hold ourselves accountable for our sustainability goals, commitments and targets through metrics, measurement, and annual reporting, including the publication of an annual Sustainability Report. This report constitutes our third annual Sustainability Report and is signed off by the Chairman and the CEO and presented to the Board of Directors.

We seek to keep our Board updated on relevant ESG-related initiatives, strategy updates and performance. As such, our General Counsel and the ESG team present up-to-date information on our ESG performance at each Audit and Risk Committee meeting. In addition to this, ad-hoc updates on emergent ESG topics are regularly presented at the Board and/ or relevant committee meetings.

Furthermore, to ensure that our Board and Senior Leadership Team remain vigilant around sustainability topics, in 2022, training was provided to the Leadership Team which covered ESG governance from the Board and Audit and Risk Committee, assurance process of ESG metrics and importance of overall ESG integration.
