ENERGY MANAGEMENT
In 2017 we achieved ISO 50001 energy management certi cation across all of our operations; stores, regional distribution centres and head of ce. The standard provides us with a comprehensive approach to smart energy use and we aim to continuously improve our energy performance.
We’ve implemented an effective energy management plan with ISO 50001, which will enable us to conserve resources and tackle climate change.
