Energy, environment and climate action
Proactive management of issues relating to energy, environment and climate action is a core component of our company strategy and corporate culture. We leverage a circular economy approach in everything we do; and work to reduce environmental impacts and emissions from our operations, our portfolio and in society.

Circular economy
As a global company, efficient use of natural resources is important and we use a circular economy thinking as the platform for managing our environmental impact. Our circular economy approach builds on over 20 years of lifecycle assessments, which include data on raw material extraction, manufacturing, transport, use of products, and end-of-life management.
