Corporate Sustainability

We want to build trust in society and solve important problems. We want to achieve this purpose mainly by developing service offerings that meet the needs of a broad group of stakeholders. This is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, which we have embraced and incorporated in our strategy. We have identified these needs by conducting a double materiality analysis (DMA). We report our progress according to the ESRS requirements of the CSRD in our annual review.

Further, we want to contribute to society by sharing our knowledge, skills and competencies – on a pro bono basis and during working hours – with impact-first organisations, e.g. social enterprises. Our global ambition is to operate at Net Zero with short-term goals by 2030. For more information, please view our Climate Change Own Operations Policy.

Our global short-term (2030) emission reduction targets consist of reducing our absolute emissions as much as possible, but at least by fifty percent. We offset our remaining emissions with carbon removals. Our air travel accounted for over 50% of our travel footprint, which is why we invest in and want to stimulate the innovation of sustainable aviation. More information about this is in the video on the right.
