In 2012, we developed forward-looking commitments that reflect global health needs and are aligned with our strategic priorities and values.

These commitments will guide our work in these areas in the coming years, enabling us to build on previous achievements and to measure and communicate our progress more effectively.

We will begin reporting progress against our new commitments in our 2013 Corproate Responsibility report. Our forward-looking commitments around our planet are:

• Reduce our overall carbon footprint by 25% by 2020 (vs. 2010) and have a carbon-neutral value chain by 2050.
• By 2020, reduce our water impact across the value chain by 20% (vs. 2010).
• By 2020, reduce our operational waste by 50% (vs. 2010).
• Build sustainable supply lines for our nutrition portfolio and work with local farmers to improve their agricultural practices, and improve their yields, their competitiveness and their livelihoods.
