Our commitment to business sustainability is reflected in the involvement of the most senior management within the Company in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. The programme itself is structured through a set of well-defined objectives and measurable outputs. CSR is built into Legal & General’s governance structure.
The Company engages with a wide variety of external organisations on CSR issues. Legal & General is a constituent of the FTSE4Good and Dow Jones Sustainability indices, as well as a member of Business in the Community. Our CSR performance is regularly benchmarked by these organisations, while our environmental performance is subject to external verification by Bureau Veritas.
One important objective is to embed CSR principles in the daily business of Legal & General. We do this by focusing on five key areas: customers, employees, our communities, the environment and our suppliers.
“With over 170 years of history, Legal & General understands the importance of sustainable business.”
Tim Breedon
