corporate governance

sustainability committee

The sustainability committee consists of two non-executive directors, including the Chairman Brian Frost and two executive directors, the Chief executive officer and the Chief operating officer: Support services.

The sustainability committee is there to ensure the group achieves the targets set out in Woolworths Good business journey index, including its targets for social development, environmental issues, governance and climate change.

The main objectives include:

  • Reviewing and approving the Good business journey strategy;
  • reviewing the policies and plans in place to achieve the Good business journey targets;
  • reviewing performance against targets at a company, issue and business unit level; and
  • reviewing the risks associated with the Good business journey.

A detailed review of the Good business journey, including progress against targets, can be found in the separate annual Good business journey report.
