Sustainability report 2020
Focusing on what is now while imagining what is next fuels our motivation and ignites our inspiration to Share the Strength. We yield our best results when we are open to other perspectives and work together to make a difference. That is why we aim to develop relationships with our customers and suppliers, ensuring that we all meet our high ethical standards and align our sustainability strategies to take us Beyond Durable, for the long term.
We believe that by encouraging forward-thinking operations on a regional level, we can create value at an international level. By working with local customers and suppliers in the countries where we operate, we can communicate local learning throughout a worldwide network, creating innovative and industry-leading solutions.
