ESG Governance
We recognise that strong governance is essential to delivering our sustainability ambitions. Our ESG governance arrangements have been designed to ensure clear accountability, board and executive oversight and collaboration between teams.
Read our ESG Governance Framework
Our governance approach includes
Providing strategic direction and oversight of sustainability performance, climate-related risks and progress against our commitments.
Supporting the integration of sustainability into business planning, investment decisions and operational activities.
Bringing together representatives from across Platform to coordinate activity, share progress, address challenges and support delivery of our Sustainability Strategy.
Providing specialist advice, coordination and support to help colleagues across Platform deliver our sustainability objectives.
Transparency and reporting
We believe that being open about our performance is essential to building trust and demonstrating accountability. We report on our environmental, social and governance performance through our annual ESG Report, providing an overview of our achievements against our ambitions and targets.
Our approach to reporting includes
- Monitoring progress against our sustainability objectives and targets.
- Measuring and reporting our greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 1, 2 and 3.
- Strengthening the quality and consistency of sustainability data.
- Aligning our disclosures with recognised reporting frameworks and sector expectations.
- Seeking independent verification of our carbon emissions data to support confidence in our reporting.
- We recognise that sustainability is an evolving area and are committed to continually improving the quality, transparency and accessibility of the information we publish.
Working together to deliver change
Effective governance is about more than structures and reporting. It is also about creating a culture where sustainability is understood, supported and embedded in everyday decisions.
Through our Sustainability Forum, colleague training, Green Champions network and wider engagement activities, we are building awareness and encouraging colleagues to identify opportunities to make a positive difference.
We also work with our customers, suppliers and partners to ensure that a broad range of perspectives helps shape our approach. By strengthening accountability, encouraging collaboration and being transparent about our progress, we aim to ensure that sustainability continues to be an integral part to how Platform operates.
Our commitment to continuous improvement
Our sustainability governance arrangements will continue to evolve alongside our strategy, emerging regulatory requirements and the expectations of our customers and stakeholders.
Our focus is on building a governance framework that supports meaningful action, measures progress and ensures that our sustainability commitments translate into positive outcomes.
