Since 2021, our One Planet: Engineering with Purpose Sustainability Strategy has been embedded in our Business strategies for sustainable growth.

Implemented locally by each of our three Businesses, with central oversight by the Group Director of Sustainability and the wider Group Executive Committee, it establishes Group-wide targets and operating standards, informs our business decisions, helps manage risk and leverage opportunities for growth, while enabling us to deliver sustainable value to all our stakeholders as we engineer a more efficient, safer and sustainable world.
