We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by at least 5% year on year. Carbon emissions are measured and reported across our operations, and our sustainability performance is independently verified through EcoVadis, providing trusted third-party validation of our ESG standards.

The information you need to make sustainable choices for your business

We understand the importance of tracking the carbon emissions that are produced within the supply chain for Scope 3.

Our reporting methodology is aligned with ISO 50001 principles for energy management and carbon measurement. This ensures a consistent, evidence-based approach to calculating emissions across key areas of our operations, including distribution, product sourcing, packaging, and wider business activities. 

Taking it a step further, we will soon be providing full transparency on the packing used for our products and are working on a new reporting platform to provide customers with even more emissions data so that they can make informed choice about their product selections.
