Operations

As well as managing the impacts of our production operations directly under our control, we accept that our environmental responsibility also extends to our wider supply chain.

The Key Issues

Less Energy, Lower Emissions

Maximizing efficiency is the key to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and facility energy use, but we also look for ways to reduce our footprint through the use of renewable energy.

  Energy and Emissions

Effective Water Stewardship

Clean, safe water and adequate sanitation are fundamental human rights, so we focus on responsible water stewardship, to avoid any negative impacts on this precious resource.

  Water Use

Aiming for Zero Waste to Landfill

Our global waste reduction plan outlines how minimizing waste to landfill wherever practicable will help us to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

  Waste Reduction

A Lighter Supply Chain Footprint

With thousands of suppliers, from component manufacturers to freight partners, we are committed to sharing best practice and working alongside them to help reduce the environmental footprint of our entire supply chain.
