Ethics and integrity 

Integrity is part of our license to operate. No matter how minor, we take resolute actions against any incidents of unfair business practices as part of our zero tolerance for corruption and bribery stance.

We want to ensure an effective and accountable environment to prevent, detect, and respond to unfair business practices. As part of this, we maintain a solid whistleblowing program that encourages the disclosure of issues and the protection of whistleblowers.

We believe that we can play a vital role within and outside of our organization and will continue to work with our partners, customers, suppliers, and authorities to achieve this.

Sustainable supply chain

We are committed to responsible sourcing of the services, raw materials, and products we buy.

We view this partnership and continuous improvement approach as vital in co-creating the pioneering technologies that are accelerating a just transition towards a sustainable energy future.
