GIVING DURING
THE SEASON OF GIVING
To wrap-up up the year, in December 2022 we collected and delivered toys to LincsFM in support of their annual Cash For Kids Mission Christmas. The initiative aims to fill a double decker bus with toys and delivers them to disadvantaged children, so they have a present to open on Christmas Day. In 2022 the mission collected and delivered toys to over 9,900 children in the Grantham region. As the mission aptly states, no child should wake up on Christmas morning without a present.
CREATING SHARED VALUE WITH ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS
We know that we will not be able to achieve our goals or realise our vision on our own. We will need to collaborate with each of our stakeholders to identify areas where we can make a meaningful impact together.
Grantham is home to so many wonderful, long- standing manufacturing businesses. For over 70 years, Grantham has been home to Vaculug Limited, which is a leading commercial tyre retreading specialist, providing tyres for fleets across the U.K. I had a great afternoon meeting Executive Chairman, Haarjeev Kandhari, and his team and hearing about all their success and plans for the future.

OUR APPROACH TO STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Since embarking on this journey of sustainable transformation, we have engaged and collaborated with several key stakeholder groups who play a vital role in helping us create value for our surrounding communities. Together, we are creating value for
our surrounding communities, contributing to
the global SDGs, and building a responsible and prosperous business for the future (see Figure 4). At Vaculug, sustainability also refers to the longstanding relationships we have established with our suppliers, customers, and partners over the past seven decades.
