Section 172 statement
The Board recognises that our business and behaviours can impact our consumers, riders, merchants, employees, investors and other stakeholders. We believe that stakeholder engagement is key to the execution of our strategy and is critical to achieving long-term sustainable success.
As directors of Deliveroo, we must act in accordance with a set of general duties which are set out in s172 of the Companies Act 2006 and, in doing so, seek to consider the interests of our stakeholders when reaching decisions.
The Board considers impacts on our key stakeholders and the consequences of any decision in the long term.It is not always possible to provide positive outcomes for all stakeholders and the Board sometimes has to make decisions based on balancing competing interests. Stakeholder engagement is undertaken across our business and at different levels of the organisation. For more details on how we have interacted with our key stakeholders, please refer to pages 38 to 41 of the 2024 Annual Report.
