Planet Possible

In order to secure our own business success – and that of our customers – we have to create more value from fewer resources. To help us achieve this, we have adopted an agenda called Planet Possible, which is our commitment to doing more with less.

Planet Possible (graphic)

We believe the planet can support nine billion people by 2050, but only if we take the right approach and understand the changes that will be needed. So we’re looking to engage with partners across the entire value chain, as well as specialist partners who believe in our agenda and have the same commitment to finding opportunities where there don’t appear to be any. Welcome to Planet Possible.

The Sustainability statements of this Report 2016 address our strategic sustainability objectives in the context of value creation across our value chains in economic, environmental and social dimensions.

Sustainable business: Details of our focus areas across the value chain can be found in the Economic section, Notes 4 to 7.

Resource efficiency: Details of our focus areas across the value chain can be found in the Environmental section, Notes 8 to 10.

Capable, engaged people: Details of our focus areas across the value chain can be found in the Social section, Notes 11 to 17.
