For over three decades, our commitment has been to drive growth through scale, efficiency, and quality. This year, we strengthened our commitment to sustainability, going above and beyond to extend the value we create beyond our products. Embracing sustainability aligns our company’s operations with environmental responsibilities and yields significant benefits in multiple aspects.

We firmly believe that sustainability and growth are intertwined. With sustainability as our north star, we have made significant investments in technology to ensure clean energy, reduce our carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, and minimize waste generation across all our sites.
This, in turn, enhances our reputation and fosters stronger relationships with stakeholders, including colleagues, partners, and the communities in which we operate.

MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

Matters that Shape Our Value Creation

We conducted a materiality assessment for the first time to identify topics that could potentially affect the value we create over time.

This assessment identifies and prioritises our material topics based on their impact on our ability to create value (inward-focused), as well as their impact on society, communities, and the environment (outward-focused). The outcome of this process guided the content of our ESG section in this year's Annual Report.
