Our net zero commitment was announced October 2021, with
our long-term target originally set at 2045.
This included 90% decarbonisation across all three scopes.
Our roadmap was rigorous, enabling it to be validated by the
Science Based Targets initiative, but it was also conservative.
So – following an annual review in January 2023, which
showed we had exceeded our -34% short-term target, we
moved our net zero deadline to 2040.
In January 2024, we reported we are ahead of schedule, having
achieved a 37% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions across scopes 1, 2 and 3 compared to our baseline
year of 2017.
