To meet the expectations of our customers and consumers, it is ICI's policy to conduct its business in a sustainable way - responsibly, with integrity and with respect for the interests of all those affected by our operations.
We believe that our activities should generate economic benefits; create opportunities for an enhanced quality of life; respect the environment; and be a positive influence in the communities in which we operate. This is
the ICI Way
- the way we do business.
We are currently using the framework of the ICI Way to review the management/ compliance structure across the Group.
Internal compliance
Internal compliance is based on policies & standards and management systems for each sector of the ICI Way.
The management systems follow the principles of the “plan, do, review and improve” cycle. They define the management responsibilities, standards, objective setting, implementation processes, auditing to ensure compliance and continuous improvement, reporting and benchmarking & review.
Assurance
There are three levels of assurance used at business and Group level:
- Self assessment audits against the internal policy and standards
- Cross business audits, providing a degree of objectivity, against internal policy and standards
- Independent assurance, by external auditors, against group, national or international standards.
Both internal compliance and assurance fit in the overall framework of stakeholder requirements and expectations
