Our approach to shaping a sustainable future
Our commitment
We are committed to fostering a sustainable development along our entire value chain in line with our economic, environmental and social responsibilities toward current and future generations. We seek an open, transparent dialogue with all stakeholders to define strategies and actions based on clear targets and continuous improvement, and we actively report on our progress.
Our sustainability framework
We are aware of the most urgent global challenges, as well our customers’ increasing demand for more sustainable products for every place that matters. To respond to the needs and expectations of our society and customers, we put sustainability at the core of our vision, which underlines our long-term commitment to shaping a more sustainable industry and future.
In our new sustainability framework we focus on three Pillars: People, Planet and Partnerships.
