Aligning our sustainability actions across our organisations is a key focus of our sustainability agenda. Our sustainability leaders play a key role in this. All sustainability leaders report directly to their local business unit and work closely with the Group’s sustainability manager.

Our aim is to lower our carbon footprint by reducing CO2 emissions throughout the value chain. We search for places where we can implement energy savings and the use of renewable energy. Additionally, we want to improve our carbon impact – the effect of our products or services on the carbon footprint of customers. We’d like to help them lower their emissions, by helping them make the switch from polluting fuels to cleaner solutions.

We add an Internal Carbon Price for carbon emissions to our investment proposals, to prepare for the future effects of carbon pricing schemes as a way of risk mitigation and a way to select cleaner investment opportunities.

Essential to our sustainable ambitions is setting measurable goals and creating systems to measure our performance over time. Our Sustainability Measurement Framework allows us to track, understand and improve our performance in sustainability. It includes a dashboard that helps business units to compare their individual performance against their targets, before drilling down into the fine details of their impact along the whole value chain.
