**Implementation**
The Board of Aitken Spence PLC, the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the Sustainability Committee will be
responsible on setting guidelines and giving direction. For internal circulation, the policy statements will be accompanied by a
framework containing action points on each tier of implementation and explanatory notes.
Strategic business units (SBU) will work towards gradual adherence of the policy through a tier system of implementation,
bearing in mind the degree of relevance to its industry. Each SBU is expected to take leadership in implementing action
through necessary frameworks, standard operating procedures and practices that meet the social, environmental and
economic governance priorities relevant to the nature and scale of the organisation's operations.
Awareness and training programmes to facilitate the implementation of the policy would be undertaken where necessary.
