We have structured our sustainability approach around three global challenges: ending plastic waste, taking climate action and supporting a thriving society. This approach shapes how we manage our business and execute strategic objectives.

Ending Plastic Waste & Building a Circular Economy

Ending plastic waste in the environment is a critical issue of our time. There is no single solution to this challenge. We are focused on a combination of actions to achieve a circular economy for plastics.
