Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) focus areas

Next Generation ESG Strategy

Announced in 2022, our Next Generation ESG strategy grounds our commitment to making meaningful advancements in key ESG areas by 2030. It was informed by our 2021 materiality assessment, which redefined our ESG strategy and pushed our sustainability approach even further, taking into account key topics of interest to our stakeholders that could have the greatest impact on our business.
