Our operational climate strategy focuses on reducing our environmental impact by decreasing energy demand, increasing energy efficiency and transitioning to low-carbon sources of energy. We also engage with our suppliers to encourage and support them in setting their own science-based targets.

Our primary focus is our decarbonisation plan, prioritising actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
