Anti-bribery and corruption risks are assessed and mitigated within our risk register process which is applied across the Group. Our business units, Sectors and Group highlight their specific risks for this topic and comment on how they manage them and mitigate against them. All risks that are identified from the business units upwards are then reviewed on a quarterly basis by their management teams, then the Group risk function and the Group Executive Committee. On an annual basis Sector and Function heads issue Letters of Representation which includes compliance with policies and procedures connected to the Anti-bribery and corruption/Ethical risks. No significant risks related to corruption were identified through the risk assessment.
