2020 Progress & Impact: Laying out our path to Net Zero, committing to sustainable ways of working, and achieving bold, science-based ambitions to minimize our impact.

Climate Action

We believe the time for climate action is now. To accelerate the transition to a net-zero economy, we are continuing to measure, reduce and disclose our emissions, setting aggressive reduction targets and key levers for actions. We are embracing new hybrid and flexible work models, and retraining and reskilling people for meaningful, low-carbon, sustainable jobs. In 2020 we were proud to have:

Reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions 26% from 2019 and 37% over 2018 baseline (64,360 to 102,373 tCO2e)
Expanded our Sustainability Pillars to also commit to SDG #13 Climate Action
Actively engaged in WEF CEO Action Group to advance the Paris Agreement and European Green Deal supporting lighthouse projects to innovate solutions that build sustainability skills
Committed to transparency on climate, disclosing CDP for a decade, and now aligning with TCFD guidelines
Designed Climate Action Plan with the ambition to reduce emissions 50%+ across all scopes by 2030
Committed to setting Science-Based Targets and being part of the solution to achieve Net Zero by 2050 or earlier

PLANET: 2020-2021 PROGRESS & IMPACT

We are committed to continuing to measure and reduce our climate impact – we see offsetting as a last resort. We are proud of our year-over-year decreases in direct and indirect emissions and are identifying levers to continue reducing our Scope 1 , 2 and 3 impact¹. We are assessing our full value chain impact, modelling science-based targets and developing a strategy and plan that will enable us to achieve our goals.
