Our 2025 Sustainability Yearbook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Sustainability Framework \u2013 Process & Progress \u2013 shows how we\u2019re embedding sustainability into our day-to-day activities and decision-making. We\u2019ve achieved so much already and are pleased to share the progress from our 2024 performance in this report. Because of the significant reduction in our CO2<\/sub> emissions since 2021 \u2013 a transformation that reflects the dedication of our employees \u2013 we believe we can approach the future with optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 2025 Yearbook focuses on people \u2013 the individuals and teams who are creating change and driving us towards our sustainability goals every day, as well as some of the customers and collaborators who are setting great examples and helping us strive for net zero. There\u2019s so much to celebrate. Stories of remarkably long and loyal service in our ranks; safety ideas that have crossed between our businesses and over borders; our work to help advance greener forms of medication in the pharmaceutical sector; and the highly specialised expertise we\u2019re lucky to possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you enjoy the report and take heart from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding our environmental impact & act where it matters most<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

While we are committed to carbon neutrality for our own operations (Scope 1 and 2), we are aware that we can make the biggest impact in our value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our customers and suppliers play a key role to make the potential impacts reality. These facilities we jointly realise, are built to last for decades resulting in major impacts if run on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In our upstream activities the use of steel and other raw materials combined with transport activities are focus areas, accounting for the majority of embodied carbon in our products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are continuously developing and improving our methodologies to calculate carbon emissions across our value chain (Scope 3), and further shaping reduction initiatives accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n \n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
