We recognise that sustainability means different things to different people. For us, it's not just about the impact we have on our planet for future generations, but for the people living on it today as well. As such, our sustainability strategy focuses on two key areas where, given our business activities, we can make a real and impactful difference - reducing our carbon footprint and advancing social mobility.
Building a sustainable future
As a 120-year-old business, with family heritage at its core, we have always cared about making a difference for the long term. We are therefore proud to announce our net zero carbon target date of 2040, and to commit to deliver significant social value by advancing social mobility.
