Our sustainability approach

Our sustainable practices allow us to better meet our customers’ needs and ultimately transform a challenge into new possibilities.

We are committed to a more sustainable future and believe that corporations should be leaders in a movement to address social, environmental and economic issues. By expanding sustainable practices in sourcing, product development and in reducing our environmental footprint, we can better meet today’s needs and ultimately transform challenges posed by diminishing natural resources and impacts of climate change into new opportunities for responsible economic growth. Our framework for meeting these goals is A Sense of Tomorrow, an approach that gives our vision for 2030 and beyond. A Sense of Tomorrow is built on three main focus areas. This is why we are:

Sourcing for Shared Value: ensuring that all of our raw materials are produced in a way that respects people and the environment.

Innovating Responsibly: driving innovation that benefits our customers, society and the environment.

Acting for Our Environment: leading climate action and improving processes to continuously reduce the footprint of our products.

We cannot do this alone: the support of Our People and Partners is essential. This is why managing the talent of those who are passionate about their work and committed to creating a sustainable society and choosing like-minded partners are also key to meeting our business and sustainability goals. Our initiatives support our own objectives, but also address no fewer than 10 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Details on our progress in all of these areas can be found in the chapters that follow.
