The PZ Cussons Plc Corporate Social Responsibility Committee

The Board is responsible for overseeing CSR within the Company, supported by a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee (CSR Committee).

The CSR Committee was established to ensure that the principles of CSR remain at the core of the Group's business activities. Its principal responsibilities include:

• reviewing the Company's corporate strategy to ensure that CSR is and remains an integral part of the strategy and implementing it in practice so that the Group's social, environmental and economic activities are aligned;
• developing policies on all key areas of CSR including the environment, health and safety, product testing and consumer safety, business conduct and ethics, our employees and local community and charity;
• developing and supporting a Group programme of CSR activities and focus for each financial year, supported by appropriate targets and key performance indicators;
• in conjunction with management and other committees of the Board, identifying material environmental, social and health and safety risk areas and implementing appropriate measures to mitigate any such risks;
• on an ongoing basis, evaluating and developing the content and integrity of any reporting to external stakeholders concerning CSR matters including this CSR report; and
• developing effective two-way communication concerning CSR issues within the Group.

The CSR Committee members are Simon Heale (Chairman), Richard Harvey, Alex Kanellis, Chris Davis, Brandon Leigh and John Pantelireis. The Chairman of the CSR Committee reports to the Board on the Committee's proceedings after each meeting on all matters within the scope of its duties and responsibilities.

The terms of reference of the CSR Committee and further details regarding its members are available at http://www.pzcussons.com/pzc/ir/corpgov/terms/

The constitution of the CSR Committee during the prior year and its activities during 2009/10 are indicative of the increased focus and commitment which the Board continues to bring to CSR across the Group. Details of the most significant activities are set out in this report. Irrespective of the progress which the Committee has made during the year, the Board recognises that the ways in which the Group monitors and manages the impact of its activities continue to evolve and it is committed to continuous improvement of its procedures in this respect.
