Collecting appropriate data that enables us to set defined, actionable and always science-based goals and targets, and seeking to measure performance against these going forward.

Incorporating data-driven considerations regarding climate change and environmental sustainability in our decision-making process, to help guide us.

Allocating capital in a way that is not environmentally destructive or carbon intensive. Where possible, investing in the rollout of return-generating renewable energy.

View statement

Governance

We recognise that sound corporate governance is essential to creating value and safeguarding against value erosion.

The Board, together with its committees, is responsible for assessing and managing risk, and for ensuring that appropriate risk management policies and procedures are in place. Guided by a formal Board Charter, one of the Board’s primary objectives is to secure Burstone’s long-term sustainability, growth and profitability.

Key corporate governance practices

Our governance framework is designed to uphold transparency, accountability, and long-term value creation for all stakeholders. Proactive engagement with stakeholders is fundamental to our approach.

The Board comprises a diverse mix of independent and non-independent directors who bring a wide range of experience and perspectives to strategic decision-making. At least one-third of non-executive directors stand for re-election at each Annual General Meeting, reinforcing accountability to shareholders. Directors have unrestricted access to independent professional advice to support effective oversight. The Board’s composition, skills, and performance are reviewed regularly to ensure alignment with Burstone’s strategic objectives.

Board leadership structures are also assessed periodically to confirm their continued effectiveness, and evaluations of the Board and its committees inform ongoing improvement. Succession planning processes are in place to ensure leadership continuity and stability.

Risks are proactively identified, assessed, and managed through a robust Risk Management Framework. A combined assurance approach strengthens the integrity of reporting and controls.
