Businesses have an important role to play in building the necessary resilience to face the climate crisis and continue to grow in a decarbonising economy. Over the years, we have continued to challenge ourselves to reduce the impact we have on the environment. We regularly review our metrics and targets in view of continual improvement, and, in FY25, we updated our science-based targets. We aim to manage our climate-related risks and opportunities effectively, and, in line with climate science, reduce our negative environmental impact.

Our targets

We are committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. We have set both near- and long-term science-based targets (SBTs), and these are validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) to a 1.5°C temperature pathway. These targets required bold commitments around our energy usage, our supply chain and how our people travel.
