Our science-based
targets
Overall Net-Zero Target
We commit to reach net-zero
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across
the value chain by FY2050 from a
FY2020 base year.
Near-term Targets
We commit to reduce absolute Scope 1
and 2 GHG emissions 60% by FY2030
from a FY2020 base year. We also
commit to reduce absolute Scope 3
GHG emissions from purchased goods
and services, upstream transport and
distribution and downstream transport
and distribution 25% within the same
timeframe.
Our SBTi approved science-based carbon
reduction targets are in line with the latest climate
science recommendations necessary to meet
the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit the
temperature increase to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels.
These targets are detailed below and set out
our commitment to be net-zero across our own
operations by 2035 and across our wider supply
chain by 2050, if not sooner.
