Sustainability data for the 2014 financial year

Comparative data is not provided in some cases, as it existed previously on legacy systems. Although data gathered through the system is subjected to a range of checks, it is not subject to external assurance at this stage. This is the group’s medium term objective.

Data includes all operations managed by Imperial, whether or not they are wholly owned by the company. As is general practice with the reporting of sustainability data, information provided for managed subsidiaries which are not wholly owned by the group relates to 100% of the managed entity.

Sustainability data
Note on sustainability data

The data below represents the key sustainability data collated for the Imperial group for 2014. Comparative numbers are shown where relevant and where data is available for the 2013 financial year.

Data relating to head office functions is included under the Financial Services division. These are largely management and administrative functions and therefore similar in profile to the financial services businesses.

The data reported includes many disclosures from the G4 Sustainability Reporting guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
