OUR APPROACH TO
SUSTAINABILITY

As part of the Apical2030 framework, we have set ten ambitious and time-bound targets across four strategic pillars: Transformative Partnerships, Climate Action, Green Innovation, and Inclusive Progress. The targets set are closely linked to the Group’s 5Cs business philosophy, our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets, and the nine UNSDGs we prioritised. To achieve these targets, we will be working very closely with our partners, suppliers and local communities. Our strategic pillars and targets are detailed below.
