Key moments

We look at sustainability in three pillars: one is the product, since we are concerned about nutrition, providing positive nutrition and limiting negative products. The second is our planet. For us, as an agro company, reduction of energy and exhaust gases is a big component of it. And the third is our people. We are concerned about their health, education and diversity.
Ramon Laguarta
Chief Executive Officer, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, PepsiCo
The main purpose of our business is ‘Brew for a better today and tomorrow’ and sustainability is part of our social responsibility. We are focused on four things: carbon, water, responsible drinking, and health and safety.
Cees ’t Hart
President, Chief Executive Officer, Carlsberg
We treat social responsibility in a highly systemic manner; for instance, we spend 3–4 times more on social programmes than mining companies do, on average.
Alexander Machkevitch
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Eurasian Resources Group S.a.r.l. (ERG)
We think about how to make the work of mining companies useful for the environment. Today, we are seriously switching to green energy.
Alexander Machkevitch
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Eurasian Resources Group S.a.r.l. (ERG)
We are certain that mining companies can be socially responsible, can be useful for society. We must and will do this.
Alexander Machkevitch
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Eurasian Resources Group S.a.r.l. (ERG)
We are one of the biggest and probably best-known pharmaceutical companies in the world and invest nearly over 20% of our revenues in R&D. Part of what we do is sustainability. We reinvest and try to produce the best innovations to continue extending life expectancy.
Kevin Ali
President, MSD International
We view our clients not merely as outside observers and consumers; we try to involve them in creating value and we view them as our partners, who will create the product they need.
Dmitry Olyunin
Chairman of the Management Board, Rosbank
The banking business is subject to technological changes to a greater extent. I would single out five principal changes: more openness, more honesty, more flexibility, involvement, and emotions.
Dmitry Olyunin
Chairman of the Management Board, Rosbank
Health and a healthy lifestyle are becoming universally in demand; this is a global trend.
