MESSAGES FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

INTERVIEW WITH OUR CEO

As Chairman of the Board, it is my pleasure to present our eighth annual sustainable business report. As this report describes, we continue to frame sustainability as a business response to the challenges we face as a society, and as a central facet of our purpose: to transform lives. In FY19, we sharpened our focus on the customer, providing affordable products and services, segmenting our product offering, innovation and development, and delivering our SDG-related commitments.

One of the biggest challenges the world is facing today is climate change. In recognition of this, we made the bold commitment to become a net zero carbon-emitting company by 2050. Did we know how we were going to achieve this goal when we started? No. We just knew that we had to try. Has embracing this challenge given us a clearer idea of what needs to be done? Yes. Making this pledge has galvanised us and many of our initiatives can be mapped to it. It is encouraging us to be more radical and inventive and to think more creatively about our relationship with energy, together with the potential use of carbon offsets

“We continue to frame sustainability as a business response to the challenges we face as a society, as well as a central facet of our purpose to transform lives.”

“The public sector cannot solve the challenges we are discussing by itself. There is so much the private sector can and needs to do.”
