5. Simplify our structure to unlock value
To deliver the full value of the Group to shareholders we need to optimise our structure. This means that we will exit non-core and sub-scale businesses, reduce exposure to businesses that fall outside our Group risk appetite, run-off non-disposable assets for value and optimise our structure for strategic, regulatory, capital and governance purposes.
