We are delighted to announce that we have been accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation by the UN-recognised Carbon Literacy Project. This prestigious accreditation recognises our commitment to upskill our people to play a proactive role in reducing our organisational carbon emissions, and work towards a zero carbon future.

Carbon Literacy is defined as,“ An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis,” and revolves around a day’s worth of learning and action on climate change.

Our Carbon Literacy training programme has been developed & delivered by our Head of Sustainability leveraging the sector toolkits.

To become accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation, we trained  100% of our global leadership team and 30+ staff from across several departments & international sourcing offices in Carbon Literacy. As a result, we have pledged to implement renewable energy, product & packaging innovations, reviewing our business travel policy, and made the commitment to expand our sustainable procurement efforts.

Being accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation is an important achievement for us because it:

• Supports our people to collaborate in identifying and implementing opportunities for carbon reduction on an organisational scale.
• Demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a low-carbon organisational culture.
• Enables us to drive faster action on climate change.
• Sets a positive example of sustainability leadership in our industry.
