Environment

We are on a journey toward an environmental transformation of our business model through setting measurable targets and taking concrete actions on climate, circularity and nature. To achieve this ambition, we intend to transform our processes, products and the use of raw materials across our operations and value chain. We are focusing on climate change mitigation measures, circularity, and reducing our impacts on nature and biodiversity.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
ALONG OUR VALUE CHAIN AND BEYOND

As a global company, we acknowledge that we have a responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment and to prepare for changing conditions so that our business can stay viable in the future. We are working to integrate environmental responsibility into all parts of our value chain and beyond. This includes strengthening the way we design products and solutions, operate our sites, collaborate with partners and empower customers and consumers, so that we can reduce impacts while supporting long‑term resilience. Beyond our value chain, we also contribute by supporting broader environmental progress through collaboration, advocacy and engagement in initiatives that help drive systemic improvements. Our approach is guided by scientific insights, clear governance and a commitment to transparency.

As we move forward, we aim to continuously reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to reach net-zero emissions by 2045, advance circularity, and reduce other environmental and social impacts by responsible sourcing of natural resources. In doing so, we aim to support environmental action related to climate, circularity and nature while helping to create long-term value for society and future generations.
