Our global manufacturing teams remain focused on reducing the carbon intensity of our sites, while our supply chain and procurement teams collaborate with suppliers to find opportunities to reduce upstream value chain emissions. Additionally, our procurement function has enhanced our understanding of supply chain risks by increasing the coverage of our supplier sustainability evaluations year-on-year.
We are equally committed to the social aspects of sustainability, working inclusively to create positive outcomes for our people and communities. In 2024, I am proud that 23% of colleagues used their volunteering day to contribute to their local community, and I hope to see even more participation in 2025.
A significant focus in 2024 has been the development of a new sustainability strategy and supporting governance framework to elevate our sustainability efforts and integrate our ambitions within core business functions. This framework will be implemented in 2025 and will ensure closer alignment between our sustainability and business objectives, ultimately creating value for our stakeholders as the world transitions to a low-carbon future.
