RPS operates with a strong sense of purpose. Sustainability is core to what we do. It is embodied in our purpose, to create shared value by solving problems that matter to a complex, urbanising and resource-scarce world.
Work is underway on understanding where RPS is and where it needs to be for the years ahead. From the stakeholders we engage with through to defining future areas of sustainability focus, we are taking a fresh high-level look and re-evaluating our position with a view to creating an even stronger future legacy. First off the blocks was an accelerated climate change action plan for our own operations. Setting ambitious Net Zero position and Science-Based Targets in 2021, marking out our path in delivering towards a low-carbon future.
To ensure that our legacy creates shared value for all our stakeholders, we need to be clear about our direction. Work to set out our sustainability strategy started in late 2021, with stages 1 through to 4 proposed for completion in 2022, and stages 5 to 6 proposed for ongoing action in 2022–25.
We have already adopted a more formal structure to understand our key material sustainability issues. This approach provides us with the information needed to make sound business decisions and sets a stronger foundation for review in future years.
Our process, takes account of the impacts that we make as a business, and those that we are directly affected by.
