We work towards this goal both through the sustainable products and services that we create, and by strengthening sustainability in our own operations. To become more sustainable as a company, we take action in four areas: how we empower our people, how we run our business, how we manage the environmental impact of our operations and how we contribute to society. We are building on a good standard of environmental management across our operations, developing our social approach, strengthening governance with continuously enhanced internal control processes and integrating more sustainability criteria into our supply chain management. This chapter describes the progress we have made during 2023. Please see section 01.3 for more information on our sustainability governance and how we are expanding our more holistic approach to sustainability.
