Political donations
It remains the group’s policy that political donations are only made by exception, and where permitted by local laws, and must be consistent with building multi-party democracy.
Miller made contributions to individual candidates for political office and to party committees in the USA, where permitted by applicable campaign finance laws. Political donations in the USA are an accepted part of the local socio-political environment. These contributions amounted to US$603,940 in aggregate.
The board has reaffirmed the group’s policy not to make donations to political organisations in the European Union.
Non-compliance
During the year there were no environmental breaches where major fines were incurred.
