Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and we know that every action counts. That’s why we’re committed to making thoughtful, responsible choices that reduce our impact on the environment—without compromising the quality and care you expect from us. From reducing emissions and switching to renewable energy to protecting water resources and biodiversity, we’re helping shape a better future for our children.
Our Net Zero program will underpin the journey of our Climate Action Pillar. As a business we have been measuring our global carbon footprint for over 10 years, including scope three emissions for half of that time, so this exercise is familiar to us having already made significant reductions across our scope one emissions. What is new however, is establishing an approved science-based net zero target.
Our Goal
Delivering on net-zero and driving environmental stewardship to best care for our planet.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
By 2050, we’ll achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across all operations—including production, transport, and logistics.
Switching to Renewable Energy
By 2030, all the energy we use will come from renewable sources.
Cutting Waste
By 2028, 100% of our facilities will deliver zero waste.
Protecting Biodiversity
By 2027, all our manufacturing sites will support thriving ecosystems and regenerate biodiversity.
Water Conservation
By 2026, we’ll ensure water is responsibly conserved in all production processes.
Maintaining Environmental Excellence
We are committed to maintaining best-practice environmental standards through the ISO 14001 certification across all our factories and headquarters.
How We’re Taking Action
We don’t just set targets—we make them happen through clear plans
and meaningful actions. Here’s how we’re driving change:
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Net Zero UK Factory
We’re developing an action plan to ensure our UK facility emits no greenhouse gases within the next two years.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions
We are finalising science-based targets and will roll out action plans to cut emissions across production, logistics, and supply chains within the next two years.
Eliminating Harmful Substances
By 2030, we’ll eliminate all harmful substances from our manufacturing facilities.
Switching to Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy
Our UK sites and Melbourne office have renewable energy supplies and we’re rolling out plans to transition all factories to renewable energy by 2030. In 2025 we will install solar at our Morocco Factory.
Energy Efficiency
We’re expanding our energy monitoring and solar testing facilities to reduce energy use across our operations.
Cutting Waste
Zero Waste Framework
By 2028, we’ll achieve zero waste at all facilities, using the findings from the audits we carried out in 2024.
Single-Use Plastics
We’re removing all single-use plastics from our operations by 2026, and our product supply chains by 2028.
Protecting Biodiversity
Biodiversity Plans
By 2026, every factory will have a tailored biodiversity plan, following the implementation of assessments from 2024.
Local Partnershops
Each key site will support a biodiversity initiative, starting at our UK factory, where over the last few years we planted wildflowers to attract bees and butterflies, created a natural pond and installed bird boxes.
Conserving Water Resources
Water Footprint Reduction
By 2026, we’ll have established closed-loop systems and conservation efforts to cut our water use.
Community Projects
We’re partnering with NGOs to protect water systems in local communities around our factories.
Maintaining Environmental Excellence
ISO 14001 Certification
All our factories and headquarters have achieved and will continue to meet, this gold-standard environmental management certification, with regular ongoing audits and recertifications.
Climate Action Success
Energy Management
Our headquarters, UK factory, and Melbourne office are powered by renewable electricity.
Additionally, we have installed energy monitoring equipment across all machinery at our UK and Morocco factories to support the implementation of energy efficiency plans.
These initiatives reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, a crucial step in mitigating carbon dioxide emissions and combating climate change.
Waste Management
Our UK sites and China factory are 100% zero to landfill, and our Morocco factory is at 99% zero to landfill as we work on implementing a solution for food waste.
These efforts significantly reduce the environmental impact of our waste production and disposal by diverting waste from landfills, thereby lowering harmful greenhouse gas emissions like methane that contribute to climate change.
In 2024, we launched our Zero Waste Program, focusing on reducing waste generation at its source—an important next step in our waste management journey.
Environmental Management (ISO 14001)
All our factories and our headquarters are ISO 14001 certified, a globally recognised standard for creating an effective environmental management system. Adopting this standard helps us to maintain regulatory compliance, reduce our environmental risks, deliver operational excellence, enhance our performance and reinforces our commitment to a sustainable future.
