Impact 2030

Our sustainability programme

Impact 2030 is the next step in our sustainability journey, building on the strong foundations of Action 2025. Our teams across the business shaped the programme in response to a changing world and growing expectations from our customers, partners, and communities. Guided by frameworks like the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Impact 2030 shifts our focus from taking action to delivering measurable impact.

Through this, we’re cutting emissions, promoting fair and ethical business, and supporting inclusive growth. Our Portfolio Sustainability Assessment (PSA) tool increases transparency and helps customers make informed, sustainable choices. We also attract principals who prioritise responsible partners who help them meet their sustainability goals. By embedding sustainability across everything we do, from product innovation to procurement, marketing, sales, reporting, and governance, we’re helping to drive meaningful change across the value chain.
