New
Sustainability Committee of the Board
23 September 2021 07:00 BST
AstraZeneca establishes new Sustainability Committee of the
Board
AstraZeneca PLC announced today that the Board has established a
Sustainability Committee. The Committee has been constituted to
monitor the execution of the Company's sustainability strategy, to
oversee the communication of the Company's sustainability
activities with its stakeholders and to provide input to the Board
and other Board Committees on sustainability matters. The terms of
reference of the Committee are available
at www.astrazeneca.com/content/dam/az/Investor_Relations/corporate-governance/AZ_Sustainability_Committee_ToRs.pdf.
The members of the Committee, all of whom are Non-Executive
Directors of the Company, are Nazneen Rahman (Chairman of the
Committee), Sheri McCoy, Andreas Rummelt and Marcus Wallenberg.
These appointments take effect and the Committee will operate from
1 October 2021.
The establishment of a Sustainability Committee is a natural
evolution of the Company's previous governance arrangement of
having a single Board member with responsibility for overseeing
sustainability matters on behalf of the Board.
Further information about sustainability at AstraZeneca is
available at www.astrazeneca.com/sustainability.
