»Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ Strategy: Progress for All

In 2025, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ has launched a new Strategy: Progress for All. Through the strategy we reaffirm our commitment to advancing expansive and inclusive global positive impact. Building on 75 years of impact, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ strives to address pressing global challenges - from climate change and renewable energies to lifesaving medical treatments and breakthrough technologies - and ensure communities worldwide can thrive socially, economically, culturally and environmentally.  

The Strategy is informed by our new Societal Impact Framework and is built on nine Strategic Pillars, comprising five Impact Pathways and four Impact Focus Areas. The pillars are interwoven and interdependent. Together, these pillars will focus our work for the next decade as we drive collective progress.
