We will help make greener, healthier homes affordable.

Our targets

  • 60% of Group sales to be from our Sustainable Home Products (SHP) by 2025, including 70% of sales for our own exclusive brand products (OEB).

Our FY22/23 progress

  • In FY 22/23, £6.2 billion of sales, representing 46.8% of Group sales (FY 21/22: 44.1%) were from SHP.
  • In FY 22/23, 56.4% of OEB product sales were from SHP (FY 21/22: 54.7%).
  • We are fully phasing out peat at B&Q (our Group’s biggest seller of compost by volume). We have removed solvents from further paint lines (e.g., through the launch of Naturéa, a biobased paint).
  • We have integrated recycled plastic into more products across the board. We increased the longevity and repairability of some of our ranges.

Sustainable Home Products

Finding a sustainable product shouldn’t be more difficult or cost more, and today, more of our compost is peat free more of our paint is water based and more of our power tools are energy efficient. 

46.8% of Kingfisher Group sales came from products and services that help create more sustainable homes in 2022/23.

Our Sustainable Home Product guidelines reflects the latest sustainability knowledge. We use our Sustainable Home Product Guidelines to assess each product to see if it will help customers reduce their environmental impact.

Removing harmful chemicals

We aim to identify and phase out chemicals of concern ahead of regulation to protect customers, workers in our supply chain and the environment. To do this, we’re working with suppliers and partners focusing on three areas:

  • Achieving transparency – Understanding which chemicals are used in which supply chains with a particular focus on textiles, plastics and chemical products (e.g. glues, paints, cleaning products)
  • Phasing out hazardous and high-risk chemicals of concern
  • Switching to more sustainable chemicals

Sustainable packaging 

Packaging protects our products in store and in transit but can have a significant impact on the environment. As we build sustainability into each product range, we want to make sure that the packaging we use lives up to our sustainability standards.

We’ve set ambitious targets for our own exclusive product brands packaging. These commit us to:

  • At least 30% recycled content in plastic packaging by the end of 2023.
  • Phase out non-recyclable plastic packaging such as PVC and expanded polystyrene by the end of 2023.
  • Reduce plastic packaging by 25% (by weight) by the end of 2025.
  • All paper and board used in packaging to be verified sustainably sourced by the end of 2025.
