The Numbers

The core element of this Sustainability Report is the detailed numbers behind our 2022 carbon footprint, and our reduction progress against our 2019 base year. We believe that it’s vital for all businesses to be tracking their carbon emissions and sharing progress in the most detailed and transparent way possible, and we hope this serves as inspiration for others to do the same.

For detailed analysis on our performance, check out James Cannings’ dive into the numbers in this report’s Spotlight section. And we’ll continue to update our performance each year as we work towards our goal of achieving Net Zero.
