The PZ Cussons Plc Corporate Social Responsibility Committee

The Board is responsible for overseeing CSR within the Company, supported by a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee (CSR Committee) which was established by the Board during the year.

The constitution of the CSR Committee reflects the Board's recognition that the ways in which the Group monitors and manages the impact of its activities are evolving and is indicative of its commitment to continuing to improve the Group's procedures in this respect. In particular, the CSR Committee was established to ensure that the principles of CSR remain at the core of the Group's business activities. Its principal responsibilities include:

• review of the Company's corporate strategy to ensure that CSR is and remains an integral part of the strategy and its implementation in practice and that the Group's social, environmental and economic activities are aligned;
• development of policies on all key areas of CSR including the environment, health and safety, product testing and customer safety, standards of business conduct, ethics, employees and employee development, charitable activities and community initiatives;
• development and support of a Group programme of CSR activities and focus for each financial year, supported by appropriate targets and key performance indicators;
• in conjunction with management and other committees of the Board, the identification of material environmental, social and health and safety risk areas and the implementation of appropriate measures to mitigate any such risks;
• ongoing evaluation and development of the content and integrity of any reporting to external stakeholders concerning CSR matters including this CSR report; and
• development of effective two-way communication concerning CSR issues within the Group.

The CSR Committee members are Mr S J N Heale (Chairman), Mr A J Green, Mr G A Kanellis, Mr C G Davis, Mr B H Leigh and Mr J Pantelireis. The Chairman of the CSR Committee reports to the Board on the Committee's proceedings after each meeting on all matters within the scope of its duties and responsibilities.

The terms of reference of the CSR Committee and further details regarding its members are available on the Corporate Governance pages of the website.
