Sustainability
“Our planet is the greatest meeting place that we all share – the place where we meet friends, family and the small community around us. And now our home needs us more than ever."
Our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We believe that everyday life becomes so much better when it is lived in a sustainable way.
We want to do our part and add value through our meeting place by having a positive impact on people, communities and our planet. For us, it's about balancing economic growth and positive social impact with environmental protection and renewal.
This means that we always think long-term - so that we can meet people's needs today, without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Our sustainability strategy People & Planet Positive
We on three major challenges that affect the world and our business:
Climate change: no longer a distant threat but a tangible fact. We believe that climate change is one of humanity's greatest challenges.
Unsustainable consumption: by 2030, nearly half a billion people will join the middle class. In a world where we already consume more resources than is sustainable, this new customer segment puts even greater pressure on the planet.
Inequalities: each year a large number of people move out of poverty. At the same time, many are still struggling with very low incomes. Gender equality is far from a reality, and many people are still denied their basic rights and equal opportunities.
We have identified three corresponding areas of focus to help us fulfill our vision and have a positive impact on people and our planet. We want:
• inspire and enable a healthy and sustainable life
• become climate positive in our operations
• stand for equity and inclusion
Shop sustainably
