Reducing environmental impact

We’re minimising the impact of our operations and our customers on the environment, by keeping materials in use for longer and minimizing waste by transforming the way we use materials in our products, consumables, packaging and operations.

Empowering young People

We’re empowering the next generation with storytelling programmes. As part of this, we’ve worked with over 50 charity partners to support over 4500 participants in our UN collaboration Young People’s programme.
