Carbon footprint
We are proud to partner with Carbon Footprint Ltd, who, in 2022, assessed Global Brands’ operational Greenhouse Gas emissions, and thus have officially become a Carbon Footprint Standard Assessed Organisation.
From this assessment, Carbon Footprint Ltd set us short-term and long-term science-based targets to reduce our carbon footprint.
In the short-term, we have committed to work towards a 40% reduction in emissions per £M turnover by 2030, and in the long-term a 92% reduction in emissions per £M turnover by 2050.
Below are a few of the ways we are currently reducing our emissions and changing our ways of working to be a more sustainable business for the future:
74%
of our fleet of company cars are either fully electric or hybrid
50%
of our warehouse energy is powered by solar panels
Approx 65%
of our staff force are hybrid workers, reducing our carbon footprint
90%
of our brands now use labels made from paper and are 100% recyclable
100%
of our plastic and glass bottles and cans are recyclable

So, what does reducing our operational carbon footprint look like over the coming months and years?
- Engage with suppliers and logistics providers to ensure we are working with like-minded partners who have ambitions similar to our own
- Engage with external landlords to ensure all properties are on a 100% renewable electricity tariff by 2025
- Begin switching the owned lorry fleet to use Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuels
- Transition 100% of company cars and vans to electric by 2040
- Transition to a fully zero-carbon logistics fleet by 2050
- Reduce business travel where possible
- Constantly review manufacturing processes to reduce our impact on the environment where possible
