Simply having a purpose is not enough to effect change. Creating impact requires a collaborative effort that drives us toward our common goal. Reflecting on 2023, our journey through challenges and triumphs has been driven by a deep commitment to sustainability.

In the past year, we've made strides towards a circular economy, delivering high-performance products without compromising future needs. Our efforts, underpinned by the dedicated work of all our colleagues, have advanced us towards achieving carbon neutrality, 'close to zero' waste, and full circularity well before 2050. Our leadership in sustainable innovation was further recognized with another EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing us among the top 5% of all ranked companies globally, across all sectors.

Our journey toward a sustainable future is far from over, but with each step, we move closer to realizing our vision. Together with our partners, customers, and employees, we are pioneering innovation and responsibility that will resonate for generations to come.
