Regular measurement and reporting of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
Implementation of CO2 reduction strategies in line with the Paris Climate Agreement through business changes and innovations, including efficiency improvements, renewable energy use, reduced raw material consumption, and overall CO2 emission avoidance strategies.
