"What we care about is advancing life around the world. This is our purpose. It affects every choice we make with respect to our assets; which businesses we will participate in and which we won’t participate in; and how we show up for our varied global stakeholders."

“Too often when we tackle the biggest subjects of our time, we get stuck in what I call the aspiration trap. (…) A big bet… is really an effort to embrace a big goal to find fresh innovative solutions that could help us actually solve those problems.”
Companies are facing more pressure to become more sustainable while remaining profitable — and deep tech can help.
