Our approach
Our approach to governance is underpinned by this commitment which ensures the long-term and sustainable success of our business, and thereby delivering shared benefit to all our stakeholders.
All of our activities are underpinned by a strong commitment to the highest ESG standards. The Board has collective oversight of, and ultimate responsibility for, the Group’s ESG strategy, priorities and performance across the business. The Board Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (‘ESG Committee’) supports the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of ESG matters. This defined and codified approach gives structure to our approach to these strategically important matters and ensures accountability across all areas of our business.

Cybersecurity presents an ever-increasing threat to global businesses. At Endeavour, cybersecurity is managed by the Senior Security Steering Committee, which reports to our CFO, and falls under the remit of the Audit Committee at Board level, in accordance with the Committee’s Charter.
Management regularly briefs the Board on this matter. The Company is audited annually by independent certified experts and has not experienced any material information security breaches over the past three years. A cybersecurity roadmap is being implemented to enhance our current security posture, and includes the following: device security, identity security, data security, application security, offensive security and operations security.
The IT department also runs regular employee awareness campaigns on a variety of cybersecurity topics, including a strong focus on phishing scams. We also conduct ongoing phishing simulations that get discussed with management. Phishing simulations helps employees recognise, avoid and report potential threats that can compromise critical business data and systems, including phishing, malware, ransomware and spyware.
