We aim to do this whilst considering each of the three pillars of sustainability: Environmental, Social and Economic, all whilst delivering Packaging with Purpose.

Achieve Net Zero in Scope 1&2 emissions by 2030. Actively reduce Scope 3 year-on-year.
In 2023 we quantified our Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the first time, allowing us to plan and strategize how we will achieve net zero by 2030, favouring reduction methods over offsetting whenever possible.
We are also committed to reducing our Scope 3 emissions; however, we will not make a commitment without knowing our current position. The first goal will be to calculate this, allowing us to then approach our reduction targets
Despite not yet quantifying our Scope 3 emissions, we believe that our prioritisation of British manufacturing, and initiatives such as the LCA hotspot analysis will have a positive impact on reducing this
