Carbon reduction
We are working towards a 3% average annual improvement in the index of lifecycle CO₂ emissions (per product unit), realising a cumulative improvement of 50% by 2030 compared to 2008. We aim to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions for the whole product lifecycle (Scope 1-3) by 2050. This involves action across our operations, our approach to product design and manufacturing, how we deliver products, how we support their use and how they are reused or recycled at end of contract.

It’s our ambition to become a circular business. We are aiming for our products and materials to be designed and created in such a way that uses as much recycled material as possible. At the end of their life, they can be reused, repaired, or recycled.
