Emissions Reduction
When our products end up in
landfill, the carbon emissions
they release represent 60% of
their total lifecycle footprint. We
are working on an emissions
reduction roadmap which will
see us invest in local projects
that help divert packaging and
food waste from landfills. We
are also working to reduce our
operations and supply chain
emissions.
