Sustainability is an ongoing journey. That’s why we’re pleased to announce the publication of our updated Environmental Policy for 2026/27, reinforcing our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance. 💚🌱
Our Environmental Policy sets out the objectives, targets and actions that will help guide our sustainability efforts over the coming year and beyond. It demonstrates our commitment not only to meeting legal and regulatory requirements, but also to making meaningful improvements across our business operations.
What’s New?
As part of our annual review process, we’ve updated the policy to ensure it continues to reflect our sustainability priorities and ongoing environmental initiatives.
Key updates include:
💧 Separating water consumption targets into a dedicated section, giving greater visibility to the importance of water conservation and responsible resource management.
🤝 Updating our supply chain objectives to reflect the supplier assessment and engagement work currently taking place across the business, helping us better understand and influence environmental impacts throughout our supply chain.
These changes help ensure our policy remains relevant, focused, and aligned with the practical actions we’re taking to improve our environmental performance.
Our Key Priorities
The updated policy continues to focus on six key areas:
🌍 Reducing our carbon footprint
⚡ Improving energy efficiency
💧 Managing water responsibly
🤝 Engaging and assessing suppliers
🚲 Reducing travel emissions
♻️ Improving waste management
Together, these priorities support our wider goal of embedding sustainability into the way we operate and make decisions every day.
Turning Commitments into Action
An environmental policy is only effective when supported by clear actions and accountability.
Our Environmental Action Plan provides a roadmap for achieving our objectives, with responsibilities assigned across the business and progress reviewed regularly throughout the year.
Through continual monitoring, measurement and improvement, we aim to reduce our environmental impact while supporting a more sustainable future for our customers, colleagues and communities.
Looking Ahead
As expectations around sustainability continue to grow, we remain committed to taking meaningful action and continuously improving our environmental performance.
Our updated Environmental Policy is another important milestone in that journey, providing a clear framework for how we will manage our environmental impact and drive positive change over the coming year. 🌍✨
