Our reporting

This year we moved to a more integrated Annual Report and Accounts.

Our stakeholder sections within the strategic report and governance sections explain our approach to stakeholder engagement and the steps we took to consider stakeholders in our decision making process and to communicate and work with our stakeholders throughout the year.

We also produce a Sustainability Supplement and ESG Addendum that provides further background on our approach to ESG. Our Gender Pay Gap Report explains how we are working towards greater gender diversity as well as making Taylor Wimpey a more widely inclusive organisation.
