Raising the Bar in Environmental Excellence

When it comes to the environment, simply complying with regulations is not enough – we aim to exceed. That’s why we redefined our targets, adopting a 2030 deadline for reducing our CO2 footprint, energy use, water consumption and air emissions even further. We also committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

CO2 & Energy
