• Measure and track its Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions according to industry best practice

"More sustainable, no apology - is how we express our total commitment to sustainability and to driving down our carbon emissions. In 2022 we published a four-year Green Energy Roadmap, with phase 1 completed this year. Our 2023 ESG report gives further evidence of our commitment to Net Zero and Signing this Pledge is clear indication of our determination to continue to move forward to these goals.”
