Planet

There are four elements that summarise the current focus of our Planet pillar:

1. Greenhouse gas emissions

We will:

  • measure and report on our direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
  • set science-based targets for our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions and take measures to meet those targets.
  • support our OEM partners in their efforts to reduce emissions and actively promote the sale of vehicles with lower emissions.
  • influence our other suppliers to reduce their carbon footprints, incorporate environmental considerations in our decision-making processes and favour suppliers that set ambitious targets themselves.

2. Waste and recycling

We will:

  • deal responsibly with the waste we produce as a business. As a minimum we will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • progressively increase the amount of waste products we recycle to reduce our impact on the planet over time

3. Impact of climate change

We will:

  • Understand the risks and opportunities that will arise for our business as a result of climate change.
  • Understand the risks and opportunities that will arise for our business as a result of climate change.
  • Report on those risks and opportunities regularly and transparently so that all our stakeholders can be confident that we are safeguarding their long-term interests.

4. Helping our own people achieve their carbon reduction goals

  • Show our people the ways in which they can contribute to reducing their impact upon the planet in both their working lives and their personal lives.
  • Leadership teams will model those behaviours.

Our 2023 commitments and targets

  1. Reduce 5% of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
  2. Ensure that all markets have an appropriate waste management system that encourages circular economy and social impact.
