Sustainability Strategy

Our Approach to Sustainability

Our Sustainability Strategy is shaped around eight key priorities across our Environmental, Social and Governance pillars.

This roadmap informs our everyday decisions and drives meaningful impact across our organisation and beyond.

Action against climate change

Working toward becoming a Net Zero business by 2050, reducing pollution and improving operational efficiencies.

Science Based Targets

We recognise that reducing emissions is essential to reaching net zero before 2050. That is why we are proud that our net zero targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The SBTi is a partnership between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Working alongside the SBTi, we have set clear, science-based targets and remain committed to regularly reviewing our progress as we work towards achieving them.
