In December 2022 we joined the network of companies taking action on climate change by committing to set both near-term emission reduction targets, as well as Net Zero targets, in line with the criteria and recommendations set by the Science Based Targets initiative. This is a major milestone in our journey to Net Zero by 2050 at the latest.

1Sustainable solutions are solutions providing clear sustainability benefits to our customers. Solutions are assessed across their lifecycle and benchmarked against current market mainstream applications, which makes the result of the assessment a moving target. These solutions match the standard offerings in all respects and either exceed or are comparable to them in at least one of the following sustainability parameters: GHG emissions and energy efficiency, use of natural resources, waste, packaging, inclusivity, health and wellbeing.
