The Elements of Sustainability

Sustainability is a core part of our business strategy. It is about the way we do business – using natural resources efficiently to make products that improve the environmental performance of our customers’ products and processes.

But our view of sustainability extends beyond this. It’s also about the health, safety and wellbeing of the people who work for us, our customers and our communities. It means using resources efficiently, innovatively and effectively, striving to achieve the highest environmental standards in our own operations. At the same time sustainability is about delivering value to our shareholders and our customers in the most responsible way, making sustainable long term decisions to build a company and plan its third century of business.

Sustainability is about making the right decisions for our people, our communities, our shareholders and, most significant of all, for the planet.

As we progress towards 2017, we are managing sustainability according to five elements: Social; Environment; Health and Safety; Governance and Financial.
