Environment (E): Growing our business while lowering the pressure to the environment

In 2023, we completed the actions set out in our roadmap for reducing the CO2 emissions from product transports. We exceeded our target of collecting emissions data for 40% of our transports in Western markets, collecting data for 54% of our product transports. We also added CO2 emissions aspect in our partnership selection criteria.

Lowering carbon intensity

Related to our SBTi target we have screened our suppliers’ SBTi status. According to the situation in early 2026 :
  • 16 % of our Scope 3 Cat 1 emissions originate from products purchased from companies having validated SBTi targets
  • 24 % of our Scope 3 Cat 1 emissions originate from products purchased from companies committed to SBTi but not yet having targets validated

Raw material waste

We continuously monitor product waste generated in our operations and actively work to minimize waste throughout our value chain. Although the overall volume of product waste remains relatively low, the amount sent for disposal increased in 2025 mainly due to the discontinuation of certain business activities and the resulting need to responsibly manage remaining inventories. We remain committed to reducing waste and improving resource efficiency across our operations.

Sustainable products

We have been able to increase the sustainable plastics sales constantly since we started to measure it 2021. Out of all plastics sales, the share of bio plastics and recycled plastics was 3,4% in 2025. Quantitatively, we are still in the early stages, but the direction is right.
