Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• The lion’s share of Pierce’s environmental footprint is indirect, meaning it is mainly caused by the production of the products that we sell.
• We acknowledge that our environmental footprint concerns the emissions of greenhouse gases as well as natural resource use, and there is an ongoing effort to improve our knowledge of how we impact our surroundings.

Mitigation Strategies

• As part of our Sustainability strategy, we will seek ways to influence our suppliers to reduce our indirect environmental footprint.
• We are actively looking to minimize the environmental impact, especially for our own brand products.

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement

• Supplier Code of Conduct
