Stakeholder reporting panel

This year, for the first time, we have used a panel of external stakeholders to help us by reading and commenting on drafts of our 2006 Sustainable development review.

The stakeholder reporting panel was most useful in reviewing the issues that we reported on and also in letting us know whether our approach was balanced, sufficient, clear and met their expectations.

The panel will also help us to improve future reports and present us with ideas for the improvement of our ongoing reviews.

Where are panel members from?

Members of our stakeholder reporting panel represent various geographic regions and stakeholder groups, including employees, customers, suppliers, NGOs, investors, educational institutions.
