Debt investors

Our Group funding strategy is to ensure a mix of funding sources offering flexibility and cost effectiveness to match the requirements of the Group.

The objective is to ensure that the Group has appropriate funds to manage its financial obligations and to achieve its business objectives. In addition it is to ensure that the Group has a reasonable level of funding diversity in terms of investors and maturity.

The Group maintains a disciplined approach to its financing and is committed to an investment grade credit rating. Both Moody’s and Fitch have reaffirmed their investment grade ratings during the year at (Baa2/negative) and (BBB/stable) respectively.
