SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY Through our sustainability strategy we aim to support our business strategy and strengthen our contribution to the SDGs. Our sustainability strategy steers our actions across the sustainability topics most material to our business. Our approach is informed by our materiality assessment and stakeholder engagement. Critically, our strategy is formulated with the senior leadership team to ensure the ambition and action is closely aligned with and supports our business strategy. As we move forward in our sustainability journey, we will continue to prioritize these ambitions and actions throughout our business, involving our stakeholders and our employees.

Our sustainability strategy is structured around three tiers: our purpose cornerstones, sustainability focus areas and responsible business principles. Individual topics within the tiers originate from the engagement we have with our stakeholders and are derived from the materiality assessment. The clustering of the topics within the three tiers is briefly described below and is elaborated on in the remainder of the Sustainability Report.
