Clarkson PLC

The Board has overall responsibility and accountability for all risks and opportunities, including all climate-related matters. The Audit and Risk Committee monitors the impact of climate change on our principal risks, including their materiality, as part of their ongoing monitoring of actual and emerging business risks. [...] Our CFO & COO takes overall executive responsibility for ESG matters (including climate change).

Over the year we have continued to develop our ESG governance. We launched an ESG Steering Group with appropriate members to drive collaboration and progress. Following the materiality assessment conducted in 2023, we have advanced our data maturity and, where possible, we have set internal targets and action plans for each material topic. We have clearly defined responsibilities for our ESG commitments which are overseen by the ESG Steering Group and monitored by the CFO & COO and the Board.
