It’s the foundation of our purpose: creating better experiences together for a better tomorrow.

Our Sustainability Plan - Impact that matters for a better tomorrow

 

Our 2030 Sustainability Plan - Impact that matters for a better tomorrow - is designed to balance ambition with pragmatism and is centred around impact and value. This Plan sets out clear ambitions for the next phase of our journey – one that responds to a rapidly changing world while reinforcing our commitment to long-term value for our customers, team, shareholders, suppliers, and the broader community.

Our focus is to strengthen business growth and value chain resilience by prioritising areas where we can have the biggest impact. To identify these areas, we conducted a double materiality assessment – evaluating both how sustainability issues affect our business and our effect on people and the planet. This process was further validated by peer benchmarking, stakeholder insights, and lessons learned over the past five years. 

We have identified five material areas, with goals and actions defined to guide our ambition.

Our journey to date


We’ve been on our sustainability journey for many years now. We reflect on the lessons learned, recognise the impact we’ve made and the work still ahead. We are proud that this translated into over $2.6 billion in net societal benefit over the five years to 2025. It also taught us that progress is not always linear, and collective action is crucial to solving increasingly interconnected challenges.

 

Five years of impact
