Our climate is changing and these effects are being felt across our trading region, as well as globally – unpredictable weather patterns, changes to our seasons, and a drastic decline in our wildlife and environment – threatening every aspect of our lives – our economy, our prosperity and our wellbeing.
This means we need to act now, to urgently cut greenhouse gas emissions and play our part in restoring nature, bringing wildlife back to our land and seas and we’re playing our part through our Climate Action Pathway.
Climate Action Targets
Reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2030 compared to 2019
i.e. the electricity, gas and fuel we use and those emissions associated with our refrigeration.
Reduce the absolute greenhouse gas emissions associated with our managed trading businesses, 17% by 2030 compared to 2019
Everything before point of sale and those associated with our customers and their use of our products after the point of sale.
Climate Action Pathway
Our Climate Action Group steers our business environmental response and activities and ensures we stay on track with our climate ambition, targets and pathway and wider environmental aspirations and considers both the climate-related risks and opportunities for our business.
Talk to your climate board ambassador
We have also created a new Board Climate Action Ambassador role. Board member, Helen Jackson will ensure climate action is given the prominence and consideration it deserves, as well as using her ambassador’s influence to drive the agenda both internally and externally.
