Internal controls
The directors acknowledge their responsibility for the Company’s system of internal controls and for reviewing their effectiveness.
These internal controls are designed to safeguard the assets of the Company and to ensure the reliability of financial information for external publication. Since the Company was formed, the Directors have been satisfied that, given the current size and activities of the Company, adequate internal controls have been established. Whilst they are aware that no system can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, in light of increased activity and further development of the Company, continuing reviews of internal controls will be undertaken to ensure that they are adequate and effective.
Environmental Responsibility
The Company acknowledges the potential impact its activities may have on the environment and to strive to minimise the impact.
The Company recognises its role as an energy transition Company with an exploration and production natural gas asset alongside its renewable solar and wind portfolio and is aware of the potential impact that its subsidiaries may have on the environment. The Company ensures that its subsidiary companies comply with the local regulatory requirements regarding the environment.

The Board attaches great importance to maintaining good relationships with its shareholders.
Extensive information about the Company’s activities is included in the Annual Report and accounts will be sent to all shareholders. Market sensitive information is regularly released to all shareholders concurrently in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies.
