Our strategy and targets
Our ambition is to be a catalyst for positive change through our commitments in climate and nature. We aim to be a net-zero company by 2040 and contribute to nature positive.
Improving our environmental footprint contributes to mitigating the impacts of climate change on the planet and on human health. It also allows us to increase the efficiency of our operations. As such, it is integral to our business strategy, spanning two of our strategic priorities: embed operational excellence and build trust with society.
