Our 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework sets our long-term ambitions in the three dimensions of Regenerative Planet, Thriving Communities and Trusted Partner and links to our high aspiration of achieving a “Transformational Impact for the Good of Generations”.
OUR TARGETS AND AMBITIONS
We live in times of transformation and change. Everything is evolving and it is more important than ever that we act now. Our sustainability strategy revolves around implementing our ambitions through concrete measures and projects to achieve practical progress. We will build on the success of recent years and our medium-term targets for 2025 and beyond.
The following overview shows a selection of the main ambitions and targets to advance our sustainability transformation. While the ambitions generally embrace a long-term time horizon, we define them in concrete terms by setting medium-term and measurable targets.
