Reducing the environmental impact of our operations

As a large employer we have a responsibility to lead by example, reducing our negative impact on the environment and promoting positive action to address key environmental challenges.

We are focusing on four key areas:

  • Our net zero commitment – We are committed to addressing climate change and limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Our operations will be Net Zero by 2025.
  • Waste and recycling – We will implement sustainable waste management practices including reducing the amount of single use plastics, and use biodegradable packaging instead.
  • Conservation - We are committed to supporting conservation in our communities.
  • Employee engagement – We will support colleague understanding of environmental issues and promote engagement in environmental action.

We continue to build, refine and share our net zero plans, considering the evolving landscape and the latest guidance. While the journey ahead is by no means a straightforward one, we are taking action now and helping to create a better future for us all.
