Man Group plc - Corporate Responsibility Report 2007

The management structures which support our organisation
‘Man Group (Corporate Functions)’ is a generic term describing all the corporate functions which are conducted at Group level, as distinct from the business (customer/ investor facing) activities which are carried out in the businesses.

It is important to note that each of the heads of our core businesses and of the main corporate functions has executive responsibility for corporate responsibility as it affects their functions’ interaction with our stakeholders. For example, John Morrison, Chief Executive of Man Investments is accountable for our customer and third party distributor policies, as well as providing the ‘check and balance’ at divisional level that ensures other relevant corporate responsibility policies are being complied with. John is a member of the Corporate Responsibility Committee.
