Operating company summaries

We monitor performance of our operating companies against our 50 targets at six-monthly intervals.

Our targets set out an ambitious programme of action from 2011/12 through to 2020 in order to work towards our Net Positive ambitions. This is our first year of reporting progress against the new targets. Our targets build on progress already achieved through our previous CR programme, called Steps, which ended last year.
