Key sources of information for shareholders
We report to shareholders yearly in November, in two forms: an Annual Review and an Annual Report. We also report half-yearly to shareholders via a newsletter, in conjunction with the dividend payments in July and December. In addition, we produce an annual Stakeholder Impact Report, which is available yearly in December.
