Sustainability

Ambitious Targets

Setting clear, measurable goals for sustainable impact.

For us, sustainability is more than managing emissions and energy consumption. We pursue a balanced and comprehensive approach while focusing on what is most relevant to our customers. We address climate change, promote responsible resource use, develop sustainable products, act as a responsible employer, and contribute as a good corporate citizen in our local communities.

Our sustainability strategy consists of three pillars:

  • Focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions, increasing the use of renewable electricity, and minimizing waste by fostering circular solutions.

    • CO₂ emissions: We reduce our absolute CO₂ emissions to help limit global warming to 1.5 °C.
    • Renewable energy: We continuously increase the share of electricity from renewable sources.
    • Waste: We reduce waste and increase our diversion rate.
  • Stands for safe workplaces, continuous learning, and high employee satisfaction.

    • Health and safety: We provide a healthy and safe working environment for everyone.
    • Development: We invest in the continuous development and upskilling of our people.
    • Employee satisfaction: We continuously improve employee satisfaction to be perceived as a top employer.
  • Ensures strong governance, integrity, and risk management as the foundation of trust and sustainable value.

    • Compliance: We foster integrity and responsible conduct to build lasting trust with partners and investors.
    • Governance: We ensure strong and transparent processes and clear responsibilities as the foundation of trust and sustainable value.
    • Risk management: We systematically assess and manage environmental and social risks within our operations and along our supply chain.
