Our vision
Relaunch of sustainability strategy
This past year, we relaunched our new sustainability
strategy, to bring greater definition and clarity
to our priorities, meeting the needs of diverse
stakeholders: employees, customers, NGOs,
investors, government and wider society.
From 2018 through to 2021 we'd aligned ourselves
to eleven of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), which was undeniably ambitious, however
stakeholder feedback was that it was unclear
what we actually stood for, and that we needed to
prioritise areas for action based on our key impacts.
We took this feedback on board and have created
visuals which highlight our five key areas of focus
for 2022 onwards. The UN SDGs have shaped our
approach and there is commonality with many
goals (climate action, zero hunger, good health and
wellbeing, life on land, gender equality,
to name just a few), but we hope you agree that
our messaging has been simplified, and is easier to
articulate for our employees and to our customers.
This year's report is structured around
these five areas and expands on our work
in each of our priority areas, and more.
We pride ourselves on our report being externally
and independently verified; with emissions data
verified against the ISO14064-3 verification
standard.
