By 2025, all our sites will achieve carbon neutrality by improving energy efficiency and using 100% renewable energy .

By 2030, we will innovate to enable our consumers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of our products by 25% compared to 2016, on average and per finished product(1).

By 2030, we will reduce by 50% on average and per finished product, the greenhouse gas emissions linked to the transport of our products, compared to 2016.

By 2030, our strategic suppliers will reduce their direct emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 50% in absolute terms, compared to 2016.

Target 2025: 100%. Target achieved in 2021: 58%, Target reached in 2020: 43%

Target 2030:  -25% Target achieved in 2021: -12% Target reached in 2020: -12%

Target 2030:  -50% Target achieved in 2021: +12% Target reached in 2020: +17%

The Group will report on this indicator in 2022 as the methodology was defined in 2021.
