Pillar goal

• Reduce operational GHG emissions 15% by 2025 ¹

We understand our shared responsibility to address climate change and other key environmental sustainability issues. To reduce our environmental footprint and deliver product and service solutions that support a low-carbon economy, we will:

• Reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lowering our energy consumption (electricity, gas and fuels) and seeking renewable and other lower-impact energy sources
• Work to protect the environment by preventing pollution from production and logistics, avoiding or minimizing waste generation, and promoting the use of environmentally preferable products and packaging
• Monitor and manage our environmental impact by tracking our energy and water use, waste generation, recycling and other related activities and taking action to reduce our impact
• Raise associate awareness of these commitments, including training on our environmental responsibilities
• Comply with the requirements of relevant legislation and regulations
• Engage with key stakeholders on important environmental issues and serve as a reliable partner for customers, suppliers, the environment, and the society we live in — including identifying ways that our services and products can reduce environmental impact
