Our Environment
We take responsibility for our environmental impact and commit to continually improve our environmental performance. We focus our efforts on climate change, pollution, resource use and circular economy.
We have set science-based emissions reduction targets, and thereby joined leading companies around the world in setting targets in line with what climate science deems necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our near-term (2030) and net-zero (2050) targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Our efforts contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production and Goal 13 on Climate Action.
