Generating ideas for the future to solve challenges facing society
Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is all about generating ideas for the future to solve challenges facing society. It is not simply about being sustainable. It is about unlocking potential opportunities. To accomplish this, we must first picture an ideal future without being bound by current restraints. This allows us to think freely about how we can achieve that future, rather than thinking about it as an extension of the past. By leveraging our “insights into humanity” that we have cultivated since our founding to help shape people’s attitudes and behaviors, we believe we can contribute towards promoting sustainability for society as a whole.
