Sustainability roadmap
As a Group, it is our core purpose to accelerate our customers’ drive towards net zero emissions and to improve road safety and the automation of vehicle applications. We do this through leadership and innovation in engineering and technology and we are well placed to support the transition towards a more socially and environmentally sustainable economy. It is our responsibility to continually improve our own sustainability credentials, as well as to support our customers and suppliers as they do the same. Sustainability principles lie at the very core of our business. By enhancing the safety of vehicles for all road users through the provision of our products and services, we seek to deploy our technology to improve road safety. One of our key objectives, a reduction in road based injuries and fatalities, is fundamentally aligned to sustainability principles. More recently, we have broadened our scope to improve safety in other potentially dangerous environments like defence and mining.
Furthermore, we play a role in facilitating our customers’ drive towards zero emissions through the automation of vehicles and our simulation products.
We are committed to the goal of becoming net zero for market based Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040 and working to be a net zero organisation by 2050. This will include the further development of initiatives to reduce our carbon emissions, waste and water usage, using improved methods of data collection so that more achievable targets can be set in the future. We also give priority to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of all our employees across the Group, via our Health and Safety Management System, associated procedures and strict auditing.
