Strategic Pillars

We invest our time and resources in areas that drive the most impact to our planet and people. Our sustainability strategy is guided by global goals (the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the concerns of our stakeholders. We listen and learn from our industry, customers, business partners, people, investors and society at large to deliver sustainable values.

In 2024, we conducted a Double Materiality Assesment, prioritizing sustainability issues for our business. The results helped to establish key actions and KPIs and to identify potential risks to our business. Executive sponsors for each pillar guide our strategy and hold us accountable.

 

Environmental Responsibility

We measure, track and report transparently on our environmental impact. We remain committed to operational efficiency, actively working to reduce emissions across our value chain, managing climate-related risks, and empowering our customers with solutions that allow them to operate more efficiently.
