ESG reporting

Doing business in a clear, open way is a commitment we work hard to keep, and we promote transparency where possible throughout our industry. We have voluntarily reported on our environmental and social performance since 2007.

Our responsible business reporting focuses on the challenges that most affect our business performance and matter most to our key stakeholders

  1. Number of lost time incidents x 100,000 divided by the number of hours worked. Lost time incidents are those resulting in absence from work for a minimum of one working day, excluding the day the incident incurred.
  2. A training day is a minimum of six hours’ training.
  3. Net zero commitment approved by the SBTi. The 2019 baseline for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was 20,903 tonnes CO₂e.
  4. Net zero commitment approved by the SBTi. The 2020 baseline for all relevant Scope 3 categories is 1,300,271 tonnes CO₂e. This figure was recalculated in 2024 to apply new methodologies and assumptions. We have chosen to disclose our Scope 3 emissions across all relevant categories for the first time to align with our net zero targets. We previously reported ‘operational’ Scope 3 only (categories 3, 5 and 6).
  5. Within the last six months of 2024.
  6. As determined by Social Value Portal’s TOMs System™. Of this total, £3.0bn has been validated at the end of 2024 with the remainder pending confirmation. We will publish the full results from the Social Value Portal once fully validated.

Reporting standards and frameworks

Framework
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Our latest TCFD disclosure is contained in our latest annual report.
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Science-based targets provide a clearly defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proofing business growth.

Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Our Scope 1, 2 and 3 targets have been aligned to a 1.5°C scenario and validated by the SBTi.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Our annual report and responsible business data sheet have been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards: Core option. Our responsible business data sheet contains our GRI content index.
