Environment & Climate
Over recent years, we have significantly improved our understanding of our environmental impacts, expanding our carbon footprint reporting and building a clearer picture of where emissions occur across our operations and value chain. While this has increased our reported footprint, it reflects greater transparency and a more complete understanding of our impacts rather than increased emissions alone.
Today, our focus is on turning insight into action. From reducing energy use and operational emissions to understanding product end-of-life impacts and improving the quality of the data we provide to customers, we are continually strengthening our approach. Through partnerships with Ecologi, participation in CDP and involvement in Walmart's Project Gigaton initiative, we continue to align our efforts with recognised climate methodologies while supporting credible climate action.
