Our focus areas and objectives help us set direction and vision. They represent an overarching framework consisting of actions of both global and local origin and implementation so that our brands, regions and company functions can set their own priorities relevant to their specific context as well.
We’re determined to create and maintain inclusive, diverse and equitable workplaces throughout our organisation. Together with our brands, we promote diversity and equality through products and communication, and advance inclusion in our communities.
