Sustainability & Supply Chain:

The scale and pace of our changing climate means we need to think and work differently to minimise wildlife loss, reduce emissions and prepare for impacts like floods and droughts.

Our 5 Year Action Plan EA2025 sets out what we will do to face these challenges. Within this sits our sustainability plan, eMission2030 which is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

eMission2030 has four priorities requiring collaboration with our colleagues and suppliers:

• Responding to the climate emergency – including reducing the carbon impacts produced through our use of raw materials
• Becoming nature positive – playing our part in visible and measurable nature recovery
• Delivering social equity – benefitting people and communities to tackle a broad range of social and economic sustainability issues
• Adopting a circular approach – to ensure the products and services we use are the most socially and environmentally responsible throughout their lifecycle.

These pillars are underpinned by our Environment Protection and Compliance systems, to ensure our actions remain consistently compliant with environmental law and regulation.
