Sustainability
As we navigate a rapidly evolving global landscape, our commitment to ESG remains resolute. Given the macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, we also see this as an opportunity for innovation, collaboration, and the creation of positive change. When developing our sustainability strategy, we relied on a materiality analysis involving our relevant stakeholders, which helped us to develop a good understanding of which material ESG issues we should focus on. We also created a sustainability vision and mission, defined areas of action, ambition levels, targets & KPIs and derived measures for implementing the sustainability strategy.
