Ethnic background
The Company recognises the importance of Board diversity and at all levels within the Group. The Company is committed to increasing diversity across the
business and has put in place a number of initiatives to support the development and promotion of talented individuals, regardless of factors such as gender,
age, ethnicity, disability, sexuality and religious belief. More information about progress against our goals can be found in the section headed ‘Diversity and
inclusion’ on page 32 of the Strategic Report. As at 25 January 2025, the gender-related diversity targets set in the Listing Rules for the Board are met, with
50% of members being women and one of the senior Board positions being held by a woman. The target that at least one individual on the Board is from
a minority ethnic background has not been met. When appointments to the Board are under consideration, candidates from a diversity of backgrounds
are considered with a view to meeting this target in the future. Appointments to the Board are made following a formal, rigorous and transparent process,
facilitated by the Nomination Committee with the aid of an external search consultancy firm.
