- achieving operational, profitability and liquidity objectives;
- protecting our reputation (ethics, environment, customer safety) and CSI initiatives;
- ensuring compliance with legislation and contractual terms;
- developing a motivated workforce;
- achieving Group strategy;
- providing safe and healthy operating conditions;
- managing environmentally responsible operations;
- achieving growth objectives;
- building effective commercial stakeholder relations; and
- ensuring accurate and timely reporting.
