Our targets
Our sustainability targets are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing a clear framework for creating long-term environmental, social, and economic value. To measure and continuously improve our sustainability performance, we use the EcoVadis sustainability rating as an objective benchmark, helping us track progress and drive accountability across our operations.
