Looking ahead, we will establish Scope 3 baselines and targets to address value chain emissions and strengthen our long-term decarbonisation pathway.
Strengthening Sustainability Governance
We have strengthened our Sustainability Policy to include climate commitments and are working to integrate material sustainability priorities into broader business processes. We have gradually embedded ESG considerations into strategy formulation and performance management, to bridge sustainability and how we plan, operate, and create long-term value.
