Supplier webinar
It’s a mandatory requirement for all suppliers to feed their performance data to us annually. This will enable us to track collective progress towards the net zero carbon target.
Our 2025 net zero commitment, carbon reporting and carbon reduction webinar provides more information about carbon reporting options, as well as how to develop a carbon reduction plan.
Annual suppliers’ event
We’ll be posting a recording of the 2026 event on this page, so please check back here soon.
