In 2019, we launched our new strategic sustainability vision, which is based on a diagnosis of global challenges, conversations with employees, internal leaders, representatives of the civil society, and supported by two external advisory firms. Over the past 3 years, we carried out a strategic review that led us to adopt a new Materiality. This vision is expressed through the Positive Impact Commitments – each of with includes transparent goals which will guide our business in the coming years. Each commitment relies on the “executives sponsors” responsible for the implementation and achievement of these goals, even though any employee may come forward to propose ways to integrate these topics into their activities and projects.
