###### ESG strategy and governance Our ESG strategy has been created to contribute to our overall goal to be the UK's leading manufacturer of sustainable solutions for the built environment. With leadership from our Chief Operating Officer (COO), the ESG strategy will be delivered by the ESG Delivery Team and will cover our environmental roadmap, approach to human rights risk, communications, ESG‑related reporting, and training. The ESG Delivery Team will feed into the ESG Steering Committee which will scrutinise and ensure ESG strategy implementation is on track. Led by outputs and actions from the ESG Steering Committee, our COO will report directly to the ESG Board Committee which has oversight of ESG strategy and performance for the Marshalls Group. [...] Embedding anti-modern slavery processes In 2023, Marshalls reorganised its internal reporting structures to place human rights at the heart of daily operations. The Group Business and Human Rights Lead now reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), and is part of the wider ESG Delivery Team, which is responsible for developing and rolling out the ESG strategy across the Group. The ESG Delivery Team's activities are overseen by the ESG Steering Committee, which meets six times a year to ensure that all activities link directly to the objectives, goals, strategies and measures of the wider business. It is attended by the Chief Executive, COO, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Company Secretary, and Group Trading Director. Our overall strategy is overseen by the ESG Board Committee, which meets three times a year. Our annual Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and approved by the Board.
