Net-Zero by 2040

Our Roadmap to Net-Zero outlines key milestones verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reflecting our commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action and the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

This timeline will guide us as we reduce emissions, conserve resources, and promote responsible practices. We strive to empower our teams, engage stakeholders, and drive continuous improvement to protect the planet for future generations.
