These are ambitious targets, and we are accelerating the decarbonisation of our business. Our targets are aligned with a 1.5C pathway and are approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This means that we have a credible goal that will require meaningful and sustained action.

We still have a long way to go but we are determined, now more than ever, to work together to achieve our sustainability ambitions.
