For the past six years (2015 to 2021), we have measured our strategic performance against the following dashboard of strategically important KPIs. These aligned to our previous objectives as well as the capital sources of value we use or affect. These indicators will continue to be measured as they support our ESG commitments and the successful execution of our new strategy.
For 2021, we continued to measure our performance against these while we transition to our Sustainable Growth and Impact strategy, and appropriate metrics and strategic KPIs were being finalised.
