Ensuring confidence in our processes
An independent review of our sustainability reporting is an important element of helping stakeholders place trust in our processes and in what we report and supports our commitment to openness and transparency.
Building on our long history of open engagement with our stakeholders, this is the third year we invited our Independent Stakeholder Panel, formed of key opinion leaders, to offer comment on the materiality of our Sustainability Report and a collective opinion on BAT’s performance. In addition, the consultancy Corporate Citizenship also provide limited assurance of selected ESG data in our ESG Report.
The Stakeholder Panel members are::
We also provide a response to the Panel’s statement as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.
The independent statements, as well as our response to the Panel’s statement, for our reporting in the previous years can viewed below.
