In today’s challenging marketplace there are a number of key issues which we continue to focus on to keep the Group on track to meet our targets and deliver value to our shareholders. Our devolved structure gives us the ability to understand our markets and respond quickly to take full advantage of opportunities and issues as they arise. As a Group, we are committed to being a responsible operator and to ensuring a sustainable future for our business and our industry. This year, tackling climate change has been a key area of focus, not only reducing our impact on the environment but also generating substantial cost savings across the Group.
Focusing on local markets
Our UK focus and devolved structure differentiates us from the other major public transport groups. Our operations are located in high density commuter markets, predominantly in the South East of England, where there is strong demand for public transport.
Tackling climate change
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. Reducing our environmental impact is an integral part of our Group strategy. It helps to ensure we are a responsible operator as well as realising significant cost efficiencies.
