As we aim to create industries that matter, we also aim to contribute to creating thriving, inclusive and fair societies. We will do this by focusing our efforts on investing in education, supporting a just transition and responsible sourcing responsibly through our supply chain.
Respecting and promoting human rights, collaboration and transparency continue to be important for how we will work toward our social ambition.
Our social ambitions address our external impact. Internally, we continue our efforts on HSE (health, safety and environment), Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and other important areas to ensure a sustainable work environment based on inclusion of our differences.
