Sustainability
Climate change and the Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree target make it clear that significant measures are needed for sustainable development. Greater needs for health, security and equality, human rights, a smaller carbon footprint, biodiversity and resource efficiency are driving development towards a fair, carbon-neutral, circular and sustainable society.
Global warming and natural resource shortages are also spurring legislation and requirements to create circular flows and accelerate the transition to renewable and recycled materials and renewable energy. Customer and stakeholder requirements for and expectations of proactive, responsible sustainability measures are growing and more companies are looking to ensure sustainable operations throughout the value chain.
