FARMING FOOTPRINT

Our ambition is to achieve a ZERO Farming Footprint


With the evolution of our ESG programme from Together Towards ZERO (TTZ) to Together Towards ZERO and Beyond (TTZAB), we have introduced agriculture as a new ESG focus area. Within this, we have a ZERO Farming Footprint ambition which includes new targets and activities in our upstream value chain, and new milestones towards 2030 and 2040.

We will go Beyond by sourcing our raw materials from sustainable sources and from regenerative agricultural practices, targeting 30% of all raw materials by 2030, and 100% by 2040. 

The activities we will undertake to achieve our ZERO Farming Footprint ambition will also create carbon impact benefits that will accelerate progress towards a ZERO Carbon Footprint across our entire value chain by 2040.
