Our strategy remains robust

Driving sustainable value creation through our core strengths

Notwithstanding the challenging macro-environment both in the regions in which we operate as well as globally, our strategy remains robust and unaltered. Given the rapidly evolving and turbulent external environment, including input from our stakeholders, we reevaluated the way in which we are to execute our strategy while leveraging our core strengths to drive business growth in the medium term. Market forces, stakeholder sentiment and our longer term assumptions influence our strategy execution focus areas.
