Resilient World
Our sustainability strategy ‘Resilient World’ aligns
our commitments to the UN Global Compact
principles, with our strategic priority to provide a
safe and sustainable environment for our people
and the communities in which we work.
Global challenge
The reasons and the plan
► Nearly 2.2 billion people live below the US$2
poverty line.
► Water scarcity currently affects more than
40% of the global population and is expected
to rise.
► 2.6 billion people in the developing world face
difficulties in accessing electricity full-time.
► Global emissions of carbon dioxide have
increased by almost 50% since 1990.
► Corruption, bribery, theft and tax evasion
cost some US$1.26 trillion for developing
countries per year.
In September 2015 17 goals and 169 targets were
agreed by 193 countries to be achieved by 2030…
that’s less than 5,000 days! Achieving them would end
hunger, achieve gender equality, reduce inequality, ensure
sustainable consumption and halt biodiversity loss. The
world has a plan and they are called the Sustainable
Development Goals.
Company
Our approach
Our approach is aligned with the
Sustainable Development Goals
and supports the delivery of our
own strategic priorities. We
understand that companies
like ours have a pivotal role
to play to help deliver these
goals between now and 2030,
they set a clear and compelling
path which we have embedded
within our sustainability strategy
‘Resilient World’.
Our strategy focusses on a foundation of responsible
business practice in areas covering:
► Human and labour rights
► Environment
► Anti-bribery and corruption
► Community
This is further focused in three pillars:
People
Investing for tomorrow by developing a diverse, inclusive
and talented workforce which exhibits our values and
behaviours.

Delivering innovative technologies, solutions and services
that add business value for our customers while minimising
environmental impacts.
