Our Approach
A more sustainable future.
Our team is very proud of the contribution we are making to create a more sustainable future with our own delivery against commitments, including our setting of Science-Based Targets, ESG benchmarking and gap analysis by Apex Group to support our work towards reducing impact below 1.5°C. The Apex Group report measures the work so far and informs our ambitions across the spectrum of Environmental, Social and Governance activities.
We reaffirm our commitment to the UN Global Compact and our commitment to the absence of deforestation in our supply chain, as independently verified. This was supplemented by the endorsement of our working practices on the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX) platform via an independent SMETA accreditation.
