I've also been reading reports on social responsibility and sustainability and I'd like a lull review of the biodegradability of the packaging of all our products- we don't want media attention for being a technology company that wastes natural resources.
Our employment regulations also need revisiting as there have been changes to pension rules and paternity/maternity rights for workers and I want us to be aware of these
Finally, regarding the staff conference I want to launch a new staff development programme, which aims to identify and develop the rising stars in our business People development should be a key priority in our next annual plan.
Thanks. Nastya."
