Planet Passionate
Our global environmental sustainability programme
What is Planet Passionate?
Planet Passionate is our global environmental sustainability programme that aims to impact on three big global challenges; climate change, circularity and protection of the natural world. We believe advanced materials, building systems and digital technologies can play an important role in helping to address the global issues of circularity and climate change and we pledge to play our part. Working in partnership with industry, and through IKON, our global innovation centre, we are confident that we can help support and accelerate the transition to a future powered by renewable energy.
In the first five years of our Planet Passionate programme, we are proud of the progress we have made including achieving three of our targets ahead of schedule. Looking ahead to 2025–2030, we have updated the programme to reflect current and future growth trajectory. This includes the addition of three new targets to replace those achieved ahead of schedule and the adjustment of our existing carbon targets. The new targets focus on enhancing energy efficiency, increasing our use of recycled and renewable raw materials, and implementing product takeback and recycling schemes across key markets.
