LEVERS FOR CHANGE

Sustainability is a central element in our vision of the future. We want to actively drive the transformation to a sustainable economy and society, help protect and regenerate nature, contribute to strong communities and strengthen the trust of our stakeholders. We recognize that we can only achieve our ambition of transformational change by thinking in systems and collaborating with our partners along the value chain and beyond. In our 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework, we have defined how we aim to make progress across our value chain by defining three central levers that will help us achieve and scale up the progress we need:
