Our levers towards 2030 and beyond

Transform  

• Roadmaps to 2030 & 2035

  Actionable plans on production sites and functional levels for the steps needed to reach the targets. These plans are supported by our strengthened ways of working in the division, with governance processes that allow us to continuously develop and execute our roadmaps as well as follow up progress.  

• Internal carbon pricing

  A price on CO2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2, as well as 3) to guide our strategy and investment decisions. Internal carbon pricing is used in the evaluation of projects as a basis for all strategic investments, M&A and Tolling. All business cases are presented both with and without internal carbon pricing, and the business case with internal carbon pricing is the guiding principle for decision-making.
