Our environmental commitments

We are committed to achieving net zero across our operational footprint by 2030 and across all emission scopes by 2050. However, that cannot be achieved in isolation, and we continue to work with policymakers and political leaders to develop a long-term, national strategic plan to shape a landscape where everyone understands the part they need to play.

Reducing our operational impact

Reducing the environmental impact of our everyday operations is one of the main ways we can make a positive contribution to the challenge of climate change.
