Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]As a global business with a primarily decentralized regional management structure, it is important that we have an effective structure for managing sustainability across our brands and regions to ensure that activities led by our different brands and regions are consistent with our overall climate change strategy. The CEO champions our sustainability program and oversees the Senior Management Team, which is responsible for setting our sustainability vision, approving strategy, and holding the organization accountable for program execution. The CEO also directly supervises the work of our Global Head of Sustainability, who is responsible for defining and overseeing the execution of our climate strategy.
The Global Head of Sustainability established and oversees a Global Sustainability Council of senior leaders representing all our regions, our core brands, and key functions. This Council is responsible for updating and refining our strategy and targets as we make progress on Our Responsible Journey. This council regularly meets and discusses various climate related risks and opportunities and climate-related initiatives, ensuring that separate brand and regional activities are aligned with Samsonite's overall climate change strategy. The Global Head of Sustainability routinely provides updates to the CEO and Board and Senior Management team to ensure clear lines of communication and consistency in overall strategy execution.
