Sustainability has never been optional for us, nor simply a matter of performance. It’s about our values, what we believe in, and how we manage our business. It’s about the way we face situations – doing what needs to be done. We know sustainability is a journey and we are doing our very best and we are tracking our progress, which we will always share as transparently as possible as we move ahead towards positive change.
