Our corporate responsibility factsheet
Using dormant assets to make a difference
Later this year we’ll be working to unlock dormant assets on our share register by selling the shares of lost shareholders. We’ll hold the proceeds made from selling the shares in a charitable foundation. The foundation will fund projects to promote financial education, community investment and responsible and sustainable corporate behaviour. We’ll let you know more about the foundation in future shareholder updates.
We’ll only sell shares where a shareholder has not been in touch with us, or claimed any dividends paid by us, for at least twelve years. Before any shares are sold, we’ll be working with Georgeson to try to trace our lost shareholders so that they can claim their outstanding dividends and update their details. You can find out more about Georgeson’s efforts to find our lost shareholders on our shareholder updates page.
