| **Carbon** | Science-based | 2030/2050 | Net zero by 2050 |
| **Energy** | Percentage | 2030 | 100% renewable |
| **Waste** | Absolute | 2030 | Zero waste to landfill |
| **Water** | Intensity | 2030 | 30% reduction per unit |
| **Social** | Representation | 2030 | 50% diverse leadership |
| **Governance** | Structure | 2025 | Board ESG committee |
## Carbon Management
### Carbon Reduction Strategy
| Strategy | Impact | Timeline | Investment |
