In addition, we have clear targets that we continue to work towards: We enable our goals through our strong governance structures, which include our newly formed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee – a key evolution in our journey. It is a highlight for me to chair this strategic committee, and I believe the strong and broad executive representation in place will result in focused delivery. In this regard, I am supported by David Danilowitz, our Head of ESG and Investor Relations, who is charged with ensuring our ESG strategy and goals are implemented across the Group. [...] The Social and Ethics Committee assists the Board in implementing and monitoring strategies that facilitate sustainable social and economic development, and in integrating ethics and transformation across Discovery. The committee also makes recommendations to the Board on good corporate citizenship, climate change strategy, environmental health and safety, stakeholder relations, and an inclusive economy. The Social and Ethics Committee is chaired by an Independent Non-executive Director, and comprises at least five members, of which three are Independent Non-executive Directors and two are Executive Directors. [...] The implementation of strategy related to sustainability cascades throughout the businesses and functional areas of the Group in the same way as other strategies, with defined reporting channels and independent reporting back to the Board. Ultimately, the CEO is responsible and accountable to the Board for the implementation of economic, environmental and social topics identified by the Board or its committees. [...] The Remuneration Committee provides oversight to the Group scorecard encompassing financial and sustainability performance measures, such as climate-related and ESG targets, which are linked back to executive remuneration. Discovery Group's Single Incentive Plan measures performance over the short and long term and considers management performance at a Group, business and individual level. In addition, overall performance against ESG ratings agencies is assessed as a performance measure. [...] GROUP BOARD Responsible for the strategic direction of the Group's ESG strategy and monitors the progress thereof [...] ESG COMMITTEE Chaired by the CEO, the Committee develops the group-wide ESG strategy and targets that leverage Discovery's unique capabilities for scaled impact, and ensures the strategic implementation and reporting around the strategy and targets.
