Strategy

Sustainability strategy

At Humble Group, we define sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

We stand by this definition of sustainability because it is inclusive – it encompasses more than the silo-based approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and allows for the recognition of the complexity and interconnectedness of all these areas.

Our approach and way of working with sustainability is based on science.

It is consistent with the global understanding of planetary boundaries and how companies are responsible for contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals while maintaining a minimal social footprint. We take a systematic approach as we strive to fully integrate a sustainability perspective into our operations.

Our Strategic Framework

Humble Group has defined a framework for our strategic work on sustainability across all our businesses. This Group Sustainability Strategy defines our role in a sustainable society and sets our direction for the future. It guides the way we approach sustainability – the Humble Way towards a sustainable future.

Our Contribution to the Global Goals

We understand that our contribution to each goal will vary depending on our impact, our dependency and the scale of our operational network. Below we outline where we see our greatest impact and therefore our greatest opportunity to make a positive impact. While Humble Group has our own strategic framework for our sustainability work, we have mapped the strategic framework against specific UN Sustainable Development Goals for clear alignment in annual and sustainability reports.
Humble Group supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and uses them as a guiding framework to align our purpose with the world’s progress towards a sustainable and equitable future.
As a global company that believes in collective action, we support all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
