  Fighting climate change

  Our plan over the contract duration includes: (1) Using resources in an environmentally responsible manner. We will continue to invest to minimise energy usage across our buildings, the largest contributor to our UK carbon footprint. Our flexible working policy reduces both our real estate footprint and associated corporate travel. We increasingly source energy from renewable sources, and this now accounts for 30% of purchased electricity (2) Working with sustainable partners in the supply chain. We assess key partners in our supply chain using several measures including independent sustainability ratings from EcoVadis. We seek to grow relationships with suppliers with formal ESG policies and those who are building out their ESG programs. (3) Fostering environmental responsibility among our employees (4) Reducing or eliminating the use of hazardous substances (5) Sustaining effective product recycling and reclamation programs, and (6) Continual improvement of our environmental performance. We set a 20-year target in 2006 to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 75%, and achieved that goal in 2021, 5 years ahead of schedule. Current objectives are to reach net zero GHG emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources by 2030 and to explore viable options to address residual, harder to abate Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. These include potential technological developments or tools such as renewable energy credits to address Scope 2 emissions and carbon credits to support climate mitigation activities beyond our value.
