Raising the bar

Having achieved our 2020 environmental targets, we have adopted ambitious new goals to mitigate climate change and leave a healthier planet for future generations through the responsible use of energy and materials.

We recognize the threat of climate change and the effects it can have on human health. We are committed to collaborating with our customers and suppliers to reduce CO2 emissions across our value chain in line with a 1.5 °C global warming scenario.

Circular economy

We are maximizing the lifetime value of our products and solutions while minimizing the use of new materials and resources and eliminating waste. We do this through innovative service models, smart digital solutions, and product take-back, refurbishment and recycling.
