OUR COMMITMENT TO BECOME A NET ZERO CARBON BUSINESS

We are also a signatory to Better Buildings Partnership’s (BBP) Climate Commitment and have published our net zero pathway, quantifying our emissions and outlining our decarbonisation trajectory.

This trajectory is informed by our 1.5°C aligned science-based targets. We are in the process of revising our emissions reduction targets to be in line with the updated net zero standard from the Science Based Targets initiative, continuing with our unwavering commitment to become a net zero carbon business.
