Climate change

Our aspiration is to move as far towards carbon neutrality as possible.

The use of most forms of energy (such as electricity generated from non-renewable sources) creates carbon emissions, which are a major cause of climate change. We have been working to reduce our carbon footprint while preparing ourselves for the future challenges that a change in climate and weather events may bring.
