Operating environment

The Corporate Responsibility Committee (CRC) is a subcommittee of the NWL board and comprises non-executive directors, management team members and senior managers from the business. The CRC maintains a strategic overview of corporate responsibility policies and issues. Within the business a Corporate Responsibility Management Group (CRMG) drives and manages our corporate responsibility programme both prioritising activity and facilitating reporting and monitoring.

The CRMG is supported by two regional groups and by teams of community and environmental champions drawn from across the business to ensure communication and influence is as effective and widespread as possible. We also have specialist working groups responsible for investigating, advising on and driving change on specific projects, such as climate change, energy use, transport, waste and recycling.
