SDG 15

Climate change is a critical business priority and central to building long-term resilience. We recognise climate change as both a systemic risk and an opportunity to transform how we operate, innovate, and grow.

Our approach focuses on accelerating decarbonisation across operations while driving broader ecosystem change through partnerships and industry collaboration. We are advancing renewable energy adoption, improving resource efficiency, and reformulating products with loweremission ingredients supported by science and innovation.

By working closely with suppliers and scaling material transitions, we are reducing our environmental footprint while enabling systemic change towards a low-carbon future.

Our commitment to responsible business practices is reflected in a supply chain strategy anchored in environmental stewardship and operational sustainability. We are advancing circularity by minimising waste and promoting sustainable sourcing across the value chain. In parallel, we are embedding sustainability into supplier engagement, manufacturing, leveraging technology to enhance transparency, traceability, and resource efficiency. Through these initiatives, we aim to build a resilient, lowcarbon supply chain that drives long-term value creation, aligned with our ESG strategy.
