ESG Strategy
Planet
We are committed to taking action to change the way we do business within our own operations and through the supply chain, in order to meet the challenges of climate and ecological emergencies.
Our goal is to be carbon net zero in our own operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) of our sales businesses by 2030.

Our Priorities
To focus on minimising our negative impact and develop services and projects that give back and help restore balance, we have three key priorities - decarbonisation, resource use and management and restoring balance.
Decarbonisation
We have set ourselves a target to achieve carbon net zero in our own operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) of our sales businesses by 2030. Through technology and behaviour change, we will start by eliminating all emissions that we can and only offset what we cannot using nature-based solutions.
We will be carbon net zero in our own operations of our sales businesses by 2030 by:
We will work towards a carbon net zero supply chain by:
Resource Use and Management
Sustainability is the practice of using natural resources responsibly. We recognise that the work we do has an impact on the planet and are focused on understanding how we take, use and manage our resources.
We will manage and reduce our resource use effectively by:
Restoring Balance
As we work hard to minimise our negative impact on the planet, we will also give back to make positive changes and invest in a more sustainable future. We want to help more people and support more environmental and community-focused initiatives. We are committed to restoring balance and have recently funded the planting of 10,000 trees through our Foundation.
We will give back to the planet and support biodiversity by:
ESG in action
Across our businesses, we're proud that our people come together to get behind our ESG strategy and support the climate, their colleagues and local communities.
