Our commitment to sustainability
Sustainability has become embedded in the way we create value for our stakeholders and is key to our long-term success
We call our roadmap for a sustainable future, One Planet, and since we first launched it in 2021, One Planet has become embedded in how we operate, innovate and secure value as a Group. It is helping us develop better solutions for customers, strengthen our relationships, manage risk more effectively and to build a more resilient future, while protecting our planet.
“Over the past five years, One Planet has helped embed sustainability into how we operate, how we support our people and communities and strengthens the value we create for customers. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made in improving efficiency across our operations, engaging colleagues around the world and building trust as a responsible business. As we look ahead, I am energised by what comes next: using our engineering expertise to help customers cut emissions, improve efficiency and deliver more sustainable solutions, while continuing our own sustainability journey. The impact we can drive goes well beyond our direct footprint and that’s where we have a significant opportunity to lead in a low-carbon, resource-efficient world.”

The impact of One Planet to date…
-
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since we set out on our journey to net zero.
That’s the same amount of CO₂ absorbed by 1.3 million trees in a year.
*excluding 2022 acquisitions
All metrics as at 31 December 2025
-
reduction in plastic packaging used by focusing on three core types. In our STS Business this amounted to 55 tonnes of plastic packaging saved.
That’s the same weight as eleven African elephants.
-
acres of land protected and supported by our biodiversity net gain achieved over the last five years.
That’s the equivalent size of 1,500 football pitches.
-
of energy saved through the implementation of environmental improvements in our operations.
That’s the equivalent energy needed to charge 6.6 million smartphones for a year.
-
hours of company volunteering time to support the wellbeing of people in our communities.
That’s the equivalent of 12.8 years of volunteering (24 hours a day, 365 days a year).

The next phase of our sustainability journey
Sharpening performance, enabling customers
“The next phase of One Planet is focused on how we are continuing to improve our own sustainability performance, building on the achievements and progress we have already made, while continuing to engage people and our local communities. At the same time, it reflects our responsibility to support sustainability across our value chain, as well as our ability to drive customer sustainability through our products, expertise and solutions."
“Our One Planet Roadmap brings these areas together more clearly, showing how being a responsible business and delivering sustainable customer outcomes go hand in hand.”

Advancing Customer Sustainability
Our third area of focus reflects the wider impact we can have through what we do for our customers, helping them improve efficiency and their sustainability performance. Across all three Businesses we are advancing customer sustainability by embedding sustainability into how we design products, services and packaging, helping customers extend product life and reduce waste.
We are also increasing products and services with clear sustainability benefits and strengthening responsible supply chains. This supports our ambition to lead in industrial decarbonisation through our suite of solutions that has the potential to address more than 5% of global carbon emissions.
