Performance & Reports

We are monitoring the energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions of our owned and operated sites across 28 countries which represent 98% of Group underlying revenue.

^{* 2022 figures restated to correct an error in the calculation of Scope 1 emissions in the US. The restatement increases global Scope 1 emissions and total gross emissions by 37,985 eCO2e, energy consumption by 161,858,604 kWh and tCO2e per million £ turnover (GHG intensity ratio) by 1.5. The  GHG intensity ratio presented on page 7 of the 2023 Annual Report for 2020 and 2021 has also been restated to increase tCO2e/£m by 2.0 and 1.8 to 9.5 and 9.0, respectively.}

To calculate our Group emissions, we have used the main requirements of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard along with the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2023.  tCO2e per million turnover is calculated by dividing our total gross emissions (location based) by underlying revenue for the countries monitored. Energy and GHG emission data represented in the table above has been externally verified by a third party. 

Scope 1 & 2 Carbon Footprint Verification Statement 

^{* Our total Scope 3 emissions for FY2022 were calculated on our top four markets – representing 78% of our global revenues – using a hybrid volume and spend approach and extrapolated to our smaller markets. Improvement in data quality has resulted in more granular estimates of food-related emissions and lower emissions estimates for FY2022 and helped improving data accuracy across categories.} 

Scope 3 Carbon Footprint Verification Statement

The percentage is calculated using data from circa 2,650 sites recording food waste in 28 countries. The reduction is calculated against a baseline for each site.

The data relates to our Top 25 operating countries, representing 97% of Group revenues, unless otherwise stated.

^{* Palm oil data relates to all operating countries.}
