Executive Committee Working Group

The Executive Committee Sustainability Working Group brings together members of the Executive Committee from across the organization to provide strategic and technical decision-making on economic, environmental and social topics. Current members include our Group CEO; the Global Director of Services, Brand and Communications; our Group Human Resources Director; and the Regional CEO for Latin America and the Caribbean. The Global Sustainability Director facilitates the Executive Committee Sustainability Working Group.

The Sustainability Working Group is responsible for ERM’s materiality assessment and sustainability target setting. The full Executive Committee and the Board of Directors review the results of the materiality assessment and final sustainability targets. The Executive Committee and Sustainability Working Group monitor performance against targets. For some of the sustainability targets, such as the Safety AT ERM score, performance is considered in determining senior management annual performance targets and bonuses.

As part of our approach to sustainability, we have identified the material topics that are most important to ERM as a business. For each topic, we set a five-year goal and annual targets. Progress against these goals and targets is reported in our annual Sustainability Report.

Companywide action is required to meet these public commitments – which includes each business unit having in place a robust Sustainability Action Plan (SAP), approved by the Managing Partner, that identifies local actions to help achieve these global goals and targets. Each SAP is led by the Sustainability Network in each region and business unit. 

A Senior Leadership Team Working Group has been established with senior operational and technical leaders from across the business to provide oversight and guidance on the implementation plan to meet our public commitment to science-based targets.
