For the past seven years (2015 to 2022), we have measured our strategic performance against the following dashboard of strategically important KPIs. These KPIs align to our objectives as well as the capital sources of value we use or affect. These indicators are under review but will continue to be measured as they support our ESG commitments and the successful execution of our new strategy.
For 2022, 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.
Our KPIs are outlined in the strategic performance dashboard below.
