ALIGNMENT WITH THE UN SDGS

 


OUR AMBITIONS

 

  • Uphold the values of good corporate governance and risk management and consider the needs of all our stakeholders in our strategic decision-making.
  • Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and behave ethically and with integrity at all times.
  • Maintain a trusted marketplace for our customers and consumers to find, buy and sell vehicles.

The Board recognises that safety, wellbeing,
environmental, social and ethical matters
form key elements of effective corporate
governance, which in turn support our strategy,
long-term performance and the sustainability
of our business.

We aspire to conduct ourselves with the highest standards of honesty and integrity. To ensure that these standards are embedded across the business and are part of our culture, we have compliance frameworks in place, consisting of policies, processes, guidance and training focused on a number of core compliance topics.

As an online marketplace, cyber security and protecting customer and consumer data is a primary area of focus for Auto Trader. As we shift to an accelerated adoption of digital retailing it is paramount that our data security and infrastructure evolve with our business priorities.
