When it comes to doing business, we always lean forward. Society is taking a transformational shift to low-carbon, resource-smart solutions and we intend to lead our industry in that change. Sustainovate, our strategic approach to driving sustainability transformation in the industry, combines our leading innovation capability with our commitment to sustainability. We are pioneering solutions for step-change efficiency and smarter use of resources. Our five-year framework covers three Sustainovate targets – carbon, circular and people. This goal-based approach focuses on long-term value creation and engaging others in group efforts.
Creating sustainable value through innovative solutions
We are determined to lead the way by setting high and long-term ambitions and delivering solutions to complex challenges, like resource scarcity and transformation to net-zero emissions.
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals
Our sustainability strategy Sustainovate is based on a thorough materiality assessment process that is revised recurrently. This is the global best practice for progressive Sustainability leadership and will be mandatory in the upcoming CSRD-legislation.
The SDGs are indeed helpful for any organization (typically SMEs and NGOs) that need to mature in their Sustainability agenda. Nevertheless, we have done a mapping of our sustainability targets, derived from our materiality assessment, towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and concluded our main contribution is for SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (Climate action).
Annual and Sustainability Report 2024
As of 2023 the sustainability performance is included in the annual report instead of published in a separate Sustainovate Progress Report as previous years.
