This transition is set out in the company’s Second Century Plan, which aims to see the business become a sustainable luxury business. Over the duration of the Second Century Plan we will invest heavily in new products, facilities and research and development. The focus of our Second Century Plan is to make Aston Martin a sustainable luxury business, which includes the promotion of responsible and sustainable economic growth. This commitment has led us to develop an integrated Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy for the business and the publication of our first Sustainability Report. The report drafted in accordance with the principles set out by the UN Global Compact and Global Reporting Initiative’s G4 guidelines, highlights our ambitions in four key areas; Environmental Sustainability, Community & Stakeholder Engagement, Health & Wellbeing and Sustainable Supply Chain. The passion and commitment of our people is a key driving force to our success, and we are committed to investing in both our current employees and the future through our apprentice and graduate programmes. The safety of our people remains paramount, with all sites certified to the international health & safety standard OHSAS 18001. This year marks a significant achievement as we were awarded our fourth Sword of Honour, by the British Safety Council. With a new manufacturing site in St Athan, South Wales on the horizon and investment in new products such as the all-electric RapidE, we have a great opportunity to improve on our already impressive environmental record. Aston Martin’s commitment to combat slavery in our supply chain pre-dates the UK’s Modern Slavery Act. As part of that commitment, we continually strive to uphold our high standards throughout our supply chain. In accord with the Modern Slavery Act, we’ll be publishing a report on this next year. I believe that our commitment to sustainability will drive long-term shareholder value and ensure Aston Martin Lagonda develops into a Sustainable Luxury Business. I would therefore encourage you to read the first Aston Martin Lagonda Sustainability Report and I look forward to updating you on our progress next year.
