OUR COMMITMENT
COMMITTING TO NET CARBON ZERO
We have been working closely with Planet Mark, and its ZeroBy30 programme, to enable us to become net carbon zero by 2030, an ambitious target and one of the flagship commitments in our sustainability strategy. We have made significant developments against our roadmap to move to a carbon neutral manufacturing process. We were pleased to receive our Planet Mark Year 5 certification for the financial year ended 31 January 2023, which marked the fifth financial year that the sustainability of our business has been measured by Planet Mark, the sustainability certification organisation. By reducing our carbon footprint, we are addressing nine of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Discover our achievements below with regards to People, Product and Planet.
