In 2023 we pledged to help build a better future
Inspired by our purpose to add value to make building a better future possible, we asked everyone to make a pledge to contribute to a better future.
Employees around the world shared selfies with a ‘pledge frame’ and uploaded their pledges to the company intranet outlining how they personally intend to help build a better future.
