Comment from the Retail Director responsible for ESG performance, Ross Warden:
“Having the ability to see how compliance is being achieved and to have real-time management information, which senior management can use to take appropriate action and share with stakeholders, makes me feel more confident and assured that I am fulfilling my responsibilities and those placed on the business.
This doesn’t lead me or the management team to become complacent but provides the platform to develop a continuous improvement approach to ESG. Praxis42 understands how a compliance programme is delivered and supports me at a strategic level, with insights and help with what often appears a complex subject, with pragmatic clear guidance, advice and solutions.”
