Over our 126-year journey, environmental sustainability has always been at the heart of our business strategy, manufacturing processes, products and solutions. Our green goals are built on a foundation of path breaking science, differentiated collaborations and operational efficiencies, to further our unique blueprint for the growth that we desire.
Our initiatives
Water positivity
Our initiative determines our three-pronged water sustainability strategy. To reduce specific freshwater consumption, to achieve zero discharge across locations, and to become water positive across locations.
-
Global Water Management
Global awareness of water scarcity is driving innovation and responsible water management to protect ecosystems, strengthen agriculture, and sustain communities, to benefit present and future generations
-
Goal
Achieve 2xwater positivity and reduce specific freshwater consumption by 2032.
-
Progress
187% water positivity achieved since 2024-25.
-
