The company's headquarters' electricity is 100% from renewable sources, and it achieved a 32% decrease in Scope 1 carbon emissions from 2022 to 2023.

While the company offers internal mental health support for employees, including an Employee Assistance Programme, free support services, mindfulness apps, and Mental Health First Aiders, these initiatives are considered workplace benefits and do not fall under the scope of 'Better Health for All' for the broader public.
