Our Governance, system, structured around the Board of Directors, is geared towards sustainable development and is also reflected in the Articles of Association which enshrine the principle.
We are committed to integrating sustainability into our business choices and operational processes through our Sustainability Framework Policy.
The set of guidelines and procedures is implemented thanks to a dedicated organisational structure. Three units work alongside the Risk and Sustainability Committee. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, they are responsible for the process of implementing and communicating the Group's sustainability commitment.
Other elements in sustainability governance are the Internal Audit, which assesses and provides guarantees on the internal control system, including the sustainability process, and the Risk Methodologies Division within the Risks Directorate, which develops evaluation models of emerging ESG risks.
Sustainability Ambassadors are also involved in governance: they consist of a community of employees that collaborates in several ways, in particular, they contribute to the sustainability planning and reporting process through monitoring the indicators on an ongoing basis.
The organisational structure consists of policies, regulations and procedures. Our ambition is to be increasingly guided by policies that favour the implementation of our sustainability strategy and its natural development over time.
These are the main documents and policies adopted with the aim of integrating sustainability into our business and operating model:
Establishing treatment, limitation and exclusion criteria to guide CDP's operations in the defence and security sector.
General Responsible Procurement Policy Annex Supplier Code of Conduct
