Our environmental and social commitments
WE believe that business must be a catalyst for change, enabling people, organizations, and societies to collectively prosper. Our Environmental and Social ambition is at the very core of our business value proposition.
We aim to unleash the potential of our people, partners, and organization globally through environmental and social impact, while ensuring we build the right way through established governance. Embedded into our ethos is Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, which embraces each person for who they are, how we operate and in how we support the industry and communities we serve. Our environmental and social impact journey is inherently connected to our commercial growth and in how we measure our value. As we make progress on our agenda to care for our planet and leave a positive impact on society, we will become a champion for change whose legacy will be worthy of our iconic history.
Some of our achievements so far include:
