OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

To ensure sustainability remains a top priority across our organization, we've established a dedicated cross-departmental sustainability group. This group strategically directs our efforts and allocates resources to promote sustainability throughout all aspects of our operations.

Our company is structured into four core segments: Tiles, Sanitaryware, Faucets, and Tableware. Each segment takes ownership of sustainability within their respective areas and implements targeted initiatives to drive positive environmental and social impact. Additionally, departments including EHS, MARCOM, HR, Internal Audit, Legal, Finance, and IT provide coordination and support as needed.

Our QHSE team manages Health & Safety, oversees Environmental Management, Quality, Compliance, and Sustainability Certifications, and plays a crucial role in managing Sustainable Products to ensure they meet high sustainability standards.

The Marketing team coordinates Sustainable Products, Product Development, Community Initiatives, and Customer Management, promoting sustainable practices and innovation while engaging stakeholders to drive positive change.

Our HR department focuses on employee training and well-being initiatives to nurture a skilled and healthy workforce, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment that empowers employees to contribute to our sustainability goals.

Governance initiatives are overseen by our Leadership and Internal Audit teams, ensuring sustainable practices are embedded throughout our organization, monitoring compliance, driving continuous improvement, and upholding governance standards aligned with our sustainability objectives.

Digital Transformation and Data Protection are managed by our IT team to optimize technological systems for efficiency and security while supporting sustainability efforts.

Each department maintains sustainability data according to their specific responsibilities, with coordination and support from our legal and EHS teams. Through comprehensive collaboration, we strive to embed sustainable practices at every level of our organization, working together to achieve sustainability goals and create a positive impact on the environment, society, and stakeholders.

The Internal Audit and Compliance function at RAK Ceramics manages risk in accordance with its risk framework that provides for classification of business areas and functions into high, medium and low risk. Proactive management and mitigation is undertaken by business areas and functions depending on the classification of a risk. The Internal Audit department conducts regular reviews of the Anti-corruption Policies to ensure they are still 'fit for purpose' and presents quarterly and annual updates to the Audit & Risk Committee and Board of Directors on such policies. [...] The Audit & Risk Committee on behalf of the Board engages with Executive Management regularly to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and Company policies. In turn, Legal, Finance and Internal Audit departments are primarily responsible to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies related to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, Anti-competitive Practices and other relevant socio-economic regulations. All sensitive transactions require Legal, Finance and Internal Audit department approvals.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

ESG governance at RAK Ceramics is currently overseen by both Executive Management and the Board. To enhance oversight, a comprehensive three-tier governance structure has been designed and will be implemented across various organizational levels. This framework will be progressively rolled out as we advance our 2024-2030 sustainability strategy, ensuring stronger alignment with our long-term sustainability goals.
