We are committed to 100% green electricity in manufacturing by 2030 and have dramatically scaled our refurbishment programme. But that's only part of the story. We're continuously working to improve water and waste management, drive down emissions across our supply chain, and design products that do more with less. I'm very grateful for our teams and partners who champion these responsible practices, helping us build a greener, more circular economy.
