Long-term Goals:

Commit to setting a Science Based Scope 1 & 2 reduction target towards Net Zero based on 2019 baseline and most recent measurements.

Medium-term Goals:

Increase the proportion of kWh from green energy sources by 20% annually, towards 100%
Scoping of sites suitable for on-site renewables
50% of sites to have 100% green tariff procurement or equivalent offsets

Reduce overall energy use by 20%
100% of operations globally recycle waste by FY 2025

Short-term Goals:

100% of hazardous waste to be disposed of in line with local regulations each year
Understand 2019 waste baseline & set reduction target for 2025
Ensure that every site is correctly measuring waste to landfill
Ensure that Ambassador Network provide all sites with guidance and training on locally -relevant and measurable recycling policies
Each site to conduct audit of Single Use Plastics (SUPs) and identify at least 2 changes
80% of all operations globally recycle waste by FY 2025
Set year by year waste reduction goals by 2025
Identify water usage in water-stressed geographies
Set water reduction goals for all operations
30% of suppliers (by spend) to sign on to the ethical procurement charter by end of 2023
