Responsible Business is the only business
Putting our people, planet, and communities first
Responsible Business is about being a force for good.
Through wise and well-informed choices, strong values, and smart innovations, we can contribute to a brighter future for those around us.
Our Responsible Business strategy revolves around three pillars: people, planet, and communities. As a data-driven organisation, we use our insights in these pillars to take actions for tangible results.
This ensures we treat Responsible Business as more than a concept – it’s a compass that guides us to keep making positive change.

***by spending covering purchased goods and services
****We had already planned to significantly increase the proportion of electricity derived from renewable sources, but we’re pushing this further to hit the 100% mark by 2030 because we want to go above and beyond what’s needed to meet our existing emission reduction targets.
