6

• £3,917,328 granted to around 49 projects (average £80k per project) over the past three years

• Structure and processes embedded – from application through approval to relationship management

and reporting

• ‘enablon’ system in place for social KPIs

• Multi-year agreements formed. Deeper understanding of beneficiary needs and achievement of

partnerships rather than just grant making

• Greater knowledge sharing with other funds across the Group towards a more coherent approach and

best practice dissemination

• Working with other functions, such as Business Development and Exploration. Building relationships

with Business Units for in-country support

• Good balance between funding tried and tested delivery models and more innovative projects

• Greater communications presence - press releases, web content, internal stories
