Sustainability at AMS

Being a responsible business is good business.

We are proud of the comprehensive approach we take to the environment, our impact on society, global
corporate citizenship, and
governance. 

For us, these are not just some of the most pressing issues of the day. They are at the very heart of how we conduct business. They always have been – and they always will be.  

Across AMS, we focus our activities on the six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals where we believe we can have most impact: gender equality; reduced inequalities; decent work and economic growth; good health and wellbeing; affordable and clean energy and climate action.
