SUSTAINABILITY
"We need to work together to address the climate crisis. The future of our planet is in our hands, and it’s our duty to protect it for generations to come.” – David Attenborough.
We’re pleased to be in control of both our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. We are driving positive change to our operations through both reducing carbon emissions and limiting waste.
Year-on-year reduction in overall carbon emissions.
UK warehouse footprint operating via fully renewable electricity tariffs and solar panels.
Year-on-year reduction in fuel emissions positively influenced by increase in EV fleet.
Waste either recycled or re-purposed into cardboard filler.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS?
Our key sustainability efforts were always made due to a need of our customers. Their trust and collaboration have been key to making a positive impact together.
CCS McLays helped Wasabi eradicate single-use plastic bags and non-plastic lids with which now all packaging products are recyclable. Similarly, all plastic cutlery has been replaced with wood and paper disposables. Finally, we also designed a paper dual ovenable bowl for Wasabi that is recyclable after consumer use for their ready meal market products.
During 2020-21, Superdry launched new, rebranded lightweight and recyclable ecommerce and retail bags as part of its sustainable brand reset, with the support of CCS Mclays. The company purchases approximately 8 million retail bags annually, all crafted from 100% FSC Recycled certified paper. This initiative reflects Superdry's commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing in its packaging practices.
CCS Mclays helped Iceland Foods to adopt a reusable and moisture-resistant carrier bag made from Paptic® material, which is sourced from sustainably managed forests and is recyclable with paper or cardboard.
This innovative solution uses 40% less raw materials than traditional strong paper alternatives, enabling Iceland to reduce its reliance on plastic bags. By integrating Paptic® bags into their stores, Iceland Foods demonstrates commitment to sustainability while enhancing customer convenience and maintaining brand leadership in innovation.
By June 2025, we will be Planet Mark certified, as well as having reported our full Scope 3 measurements, which will provide us with a full carbon emission base line. Once analysed, we will confirm our carbon emission targets and have them validated by SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative), guiding us on our journey to Net Zero. We are committed to at least 5% annual carbon emission reduction as part of our ongoing certification.
