Environment and Society

Environment

We are committed to sustainability and strive to minimize our impact on the climate and natural resources: 

  • We take part in managing and remediating risks caused by historical operations. 
  • We aim to offer products with the lowest possible climate and environmental impacts during production, use and at end-of-life 
  • We promote and facilitate responsible design, use, re-use, recycling and disposal of our products. 
  • We respect natural resources and seek to actively reduce emissions, energy use, and resource consumption wherever we operate. 

Society

We are a responsible partner and seek to create lasting value for society:

  • We uphold fundamental human rights and respect them across our global operations.
  • We seek ethical, responsible and sustainable supply and advocate for best practices throughout the value chain.
  • We engage with local communities around our sites and aim to make a positive contribution to them.
  • We communicate effectively and transparently with all our stakeholders, and their input helps us keep improving our performance.
