Monitoring
In recent years stakeholder expectations of public companies have increased. Monitoring, managing and responding as a business to these changing expectations, including with regard to SEE issues, is part of the normal responsibilities of corporate management.

Signet regularly carries out SEE risk reviews and benchmarking exercises with the assistance of an external adviser. Such reviews include an assessment of policies, procedures and controls in respect of SEE matters.
