We used a double materiality assessement to develop our sustainability approach
The double materiality assessment and our engagement with internal and external stakeholders reconfirmed the sustainability topics that are most important to the business and our stakeholders. We sought to simplify how we frame those sustainability topics to ensure that they are well understood and have grouped them under three core themes: people, climate and nature.
