We have an impact on the environment - it's our responsibility to manage it
We recognise that our activities inevitably have an impact upon the environment, both locally and globally. We're working hard to understand, measure and manage our environmental impacts.
As a responsible business, we know it's the right thing to do.
The goals we set reflect the reality that we're in the early stages of creating and implementing a robust and comprehensive environmental strategy. We're ambitious about what we can achieve and we're committed to doing everything that we can to protect the environment.
Our approach to managing our impacts is based on three key areas: data reliability, reducing our emissions and managing our waste.
Collecting reliable and
meaningful data
We rely on data to plan our journey, and to quantify and justify our actions and initiatives. Building a robust system for the collection of global environmental data is just the start of our journey to understand our impacts.
Reducing our carbon emissions
We’ve set ourselves a tough and challenging goal to cut our carbon emissions by 30% by 2015 against a 2010 baseline. Meeting this target will be difficult but as a business with a track record of setting and achieving ambitious targets we’re confident that we will succeed.
Managing our waste
Our major waste product is the glass which we dispose of on behalf of our customers. Our goal is to recycle 100% of this glass waste by 2015 and we will consider innovative approaches and supplier partnerships in order to realise this.
