What we are doing
We're working hard to tackle climate change
We are committed to cutting our carbon footprint in every area of our business. From big steps, like aiming to halve energy use by 2008, right through to small details like using use one label instead of two on our clothes, we are trying to make a difference. And we want to make it easier for our customers to do the same by offering greener, more sustainable choices.
