How This Stakeholder Group Influenced Board/Committee Discussions and Decisions
During the year, the Board discussed and supported the Company’s
internal forward planning in anticipation of the introduction of a UK DRS
in October 2027, building on the previous work carried out in preparation
for the deferred Scottish DRS.
The Board also discussed the implications of government policies
on capital expenditure, business development, and environmental
sustainability, including those related to the Company’s net-zero plans.
Engagement with DEFRA, and other relevant authorities regarding
resourcing, demand planning, and regulatory frameworks was central
to Board decision-making in these areas.
