environmental issues

Sovereign Group Limited is owned and managed by its Directors and operates for the benefit of its Clients, staff and the communities that we work within and as such we recognise our responsibilities to all our stakeholders - employees, customers, suppliers and sub-contractors, as well as shareholders.

We are equally well aware that our responsibilities extend to the communities in which we operate and the wider environment as a whole.

To ensure that we provide a framework for the delivery of our corporate social responsibilities, we have established an Environmental Corporate Responsibility Committee, chaired by David Clover, Partnering Director. The Committee is primarily focused on developing and delivering on our environmental and community commitments, as well as overseeing our wider strategy to achieve best practice in terms of corporate social responsibility.

However, Sovereign Group considers that Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) issues are a matter for the Board as a whole as they are an integral part of the success of the company delivering on our responsibilities to all our stakeholders.
