To ensure that resources are deployed efficiently, and projects are fully aligned with the strategic objectives of our CSR agenda, we annually monitor the direct impact of our investments and systematically collect feedback from our community partners via the Global Impact Tracking (GIT) tool. Based on the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) methodology and launched in 2012, we monitor all CSR investments with our GIT (2017: 70% of total investments). The learnings we derive from the analyses enable us to improve our CSR portfolio over time.
