We will help tackle climate change by reducing carbon emissions from our business, products and supply chains; and will become Forest Positive by 2025.

Our targets

• 100% responsibly sourced wood and paper for our products and catalogues by 2025.
• Become Forest Positive by 2025.
• Achieve our approved science-based carbon reduction target (scopes 1, 2 and 3) by 2025.
• Reach net-zero emissions for our operations (scope 1 and 2) by the end of 2040.

Our FY22/23 progress

• Responsibly sourced 94.5% of wood and paper used in products and 100% of catalogue paper in FY22/23.
• Founding member of the Rainforest Alliance’s ‘Forest Allies’ initiative and supporting forest projects in tropical regions benefiting some 190,000 hectares of community managed forests and contribute towards the protection of more than 2.5 million hectares of protected areas.
• B&Q, Castorama France, Castorama Poland and Screwfix established local partnerships to restore, create and protect native woodland and forests.
• Reduced scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 52.6% since FY16/17 exceeding our FY25/26 target. This is our first step towards achieving net-zero emissions by FY40/41.
• On scope 3, we reduced the intensity of our emissions from the supply chain and customer use of products by 34.1% since FY17/18, meaning we are on track to meet our target of 40% by FY25/26.
