We take responsibility for what we build - and how we build it.
Responsibility is part of how we operate every day. It guides how we develop products, work with suppliers and partners, reduce our environmental impact, support our people and create long-term value.

Built to last
Long product lifetimes help reduce the need for replacement and support more efficient use of resources.
Measured and documented
We continue to expand access to verified environmental data about our products.
Using resources responsibly
We work to use lower-carbon materials, reduce material use and waste, and increase the use of recycled content.
Our circularity framework
The framework guides our work across the product life cycle - from sourcing and design to production and the next life of products and materials.
We work to integrate circular thinking into product development, helping support durability, repairability and efficient use of resources throughout a product's lifecycle.
Across our brands, we are increasing the use of recycled materials where quality, performance and availability allow.
We continue to reduce production waste and improve how materials are used across our operations.
We are exploring new approaches that can help extend product lifetimes and support more circular use of resources.
Responsibility in practice
Read our sustainability brand cases
Working towards lower emissions
Reducing emissions is a key part of our sustainability efforts. Guided by science-based targets, we work to lower emissions across our operations, supply chain and products.
Reducing emissions across our value chain
Our operations
We continue to reduce emissions from our operations through energy efficiency improvements and increased use of renewable energy across our production sites.
Our supply chain
Most of our emissions are linked to purchased materials and transportation. We work with suppliers and use data and insights to help reduce these emissions.
Our products
We continue to strengthen product data and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to support lower-carbon decisions across the value chain.
Our climate ambition
Guided by science
Our climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), helping ensure that our ambitions are aligned with climate science.
Our 2030 milestones
By 2030, we aim to reduce emissions from our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 42% and emissions from our value chain (Scope 3) by 25%, compared to our 2021 baseline.
Our 2050 ambition
Our long-term ambition is to reduce emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 90% by 2050 and achieve net-zero emissions through continued collaboration across the value chain.
