Sustainability Plan 2025

Our Sustainability Plan 2025: Working Together to Create a Better Tomorrow highlights our ambitious goals and commitments to make a positive change across three pillars: people, planet and product.

We are actively looking to create positive change in our business and in our extended value chain, together with our partners. We see sustainability as an opportunity to create long‑term value for our stakeholders that will deliver benefits for decades to come. 

Our Sustainability Plan 2025 is reviewed and adjusted as part of our annual planning cycle to maintain its relevance in a changing world. This document is version 3.0 of our Sustainability Plan 2025, effective August 2023.
