Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

We have shaped our climate change strategy around three outcome-focused priorities which represent the areas where we can have greatest impact and are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 1. Accelerate the transition to net zero: Decarbonising the whole global economy is critical to minimise the worst consequences of climate change. 2. Enable growth of the green economy: economic activity focused on creating, scaling, and delivering solutions to the world’s environmental and social challenges. 3. Create inclusive economic opportunity: economic growth, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, political or religious beliefs.
