Net zero

Minimising our climate impact

Net zero means creating a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. This is critical to combat the climate crisis. The 2016 Paris Agreement states that global net emissions of carbon dioxide need to reach net zero by 2050. This target is used by nations, governments and businesses across the world.

In 2021, we committed to reduce GHG emissions attributable to our business and achieve net zero as a company before 2030. By doing so, we join an accelerated climate action effort championed by the global B Corp community.

This is a natural next step for us. We take full responsibility for the impact our wider business has on the environment, and we will contribute to the 1.5 °C target sooner, rather than later.

For many years we’ve collaborated with our members to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging. But our net zero commitment requires us to maintain a laser focus on ourselves. We must proactively contribute towards the most pressing challenge facing the planet today.

We’re committed to delivering net zero across scopes one, two and three - the emissions of our direct operations, the things we consume and the suppliers we work with. It’s not easy and progress can sometimes be slow, due to business growth.

But we’re working on it. We’re committed and have a dedicated team, driven to make it happen. We transparently share our progress and actively encourage our supply chain to join us.

Let’s do this.
