Description/achievement of initiative
Our 20-year goal for 2030: Triple the value we create for the footprint made by our operatons, products and sercices. We summarize this ambition to become three times more efficient as Factor 3.
Implementation methodologies
To successfully implement our strategy and drive sustainability in our business process, we have defined three strategic principles - products, partners, and people. Our products deliver more value for our customers and consumers. We achieve this through innovative solutions and education, and through products that offer better performance with a smaller footprint, thus saving resources and reducing other negative environmental impacts. Our partners are key to driving sustainability along our value chains and in all areas of business and life. We support them with our products and expertise. At the same time, we help our customers and consumers to reduce their own environmental footprint. To do this, we collaborate with selected suppliers, so that they can supply us with raw materials that have an improved ecological footprint. Our people make the difference – through their dedication, skills and knowledge. They make their own contributions to sustainable development, in day-to-day business and in their local communities. They interface with our customers and consumers, make innovation possible, develop successful strategies, and give our company its unique identity.
