We are conscious about the impact we have on the environment and are taking steps to begin our journey to become a more sustainable business – by working towards offsetting our carbon footprint and reducing our emissions to achieve Net Zero.
After working with Net Zero Now in our UK locations, we’ve been able to measure our carbon footprint and therefore, know what we need to offset 100% of our carbon footprint by 2030.
This has also enabled us to set reduction targets and create a Net Zero strategy. We will continue to calculate our emissions annually to make sure we are On the Road to Net Zero.
To date, we have currently planted over 400,000 [March 2026] through our initiative with Gift Trees, and we look forward to seeing how the future sees us closer to our goal.
Follow our live tracker here to see how many trees have been planted as part of our partnership.
