Leading in the next era of corporate sustainability

The challenge and opportunity

We have been driving an ambitious sustainability agenda for over two decades. Yet, in the face of ever-growing economic, environmental and social challenges, we are evolving our approach.

Ringing the alarm and setting long-term ambitions isn't good enough anymore. Now is the time to focus on delivering impact by making sustainability progress integral to business performance.

We are determined to face into this reality to deliver consistent and competitive performance, while transforming our business to achieve our sustainability goals.

The next era of corporate sustainability

The first era was about ringing the alarm. The second was about setting long-term ambitions. The third is about delivering impact faster, by making sustainability progress integral to business performance.

We intend to lead in this new era by being:

More focused in allocating our resources

using capital allocation to make progress across our sustainability priorities.

More urgent in our actions

with roadmaps, clear accountability and reward.

More systemic in our advocacy

through deeper collaboration and more assertive policy advocacy.
