We constantly improve operational processes to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to climate change mitigation. We are committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 70% and target a drop in scope 3 emissions of 20% between 2015 and 2030._ We aim for 100% renewable electricity by 2025 and a 4% year-on-year average reduction in waste. We reached our goal of reducing global water consumption per tonne of production by 15% by 2020 three years in advance and are reviewing new water reduction targets. The real footprint of a product includes every step in the supply chain that gets it to market. This is why we are also collaborating with our suppliers to reduce their own footprint, minimising the overall environmental impact of each product consumed. This has a direct, positive impact on local producer communities and the supply of the natural ingredients we rely on. These efforts lead to a continuous and successful reduction of our GHG emissions, waste production, water consumption and support our shift to renewable electricity.
