Dunelm has become one of the first homewares retailers to have its greenhouse gas emissions targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
The retailer has joined the likes of Wickes and Pets at Home in setting short and long-term emission reduction targets in line with climate science and SBTi assessment.
Dunelm has committed to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by half before 2030 and 90% by 2040, with an overall target to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by the same deadline.
Dunelm chief executive Nick Wilkinson said: “We are building sustainability into all that we do, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s a business imperative that supports our vision to be the UK’s most trusted and valuable brand in homewares and furniture.
“We’re delighted to have received approval of our ambitious targets from the SBTi. We are increasingly focused on achieving our goals in this area while recognising that there’s more we can do to lead the homewares industry in reducing our environmental impact on the planet.”
