CSL Limited Annual Report 2021/22 21 Our Sustainability Strategy To foster a more sustainable future, we announced our sustainability strategy in August 2021, focussing on three strategic pillars – Environment, Social and Sustainable Workforce. We have identified these three strategic pillars as material to our business where we plan to increase our engagement and accelerate action over the medium- to long-term. Performance across our strategic pillars will support execution of our 2030 Strategy and our promise to improve the lives of patients and protect public health. Our pillar focus areas are further guided by our material topics, which inform continuous improvement across our operations and transparency in areas that matter most to our key stakeholders.
