Scope 2 - 195,147
Scope 3 - 43,838
Total Gross emissions: 394,134
2010/11 is the base year for our new carbon reduction target because it is the most recent and comprehensive year of data available. We have included emissions related to water supply, water treatment and other fuels used in our buildings for the first time in 2010/11. We expect our emissions to rise before an absolute reduction is achieved through our reduction initiatives. See our carbon footprint boundary for scope 1, 2 and 3 boundaries.

During the year a number of factors impacted our performance including bringing frozen food distribution in-house; making more store and home deliveries as our business grows; and increasing backhauling (using our trucks’ return journey from delivering to our shops to collect suppliers’ products).

Shop energy efficiency, KWh per square foot of trading floor area
John Lewis
2010/11 - 48.4
2009/10 - 47.7
2008/09 - 50.9
Waitrose
2010/11 - 115.1
2009/10 - 112.8
2008/09 - 116.9
The prolonged cold weather this winter impacted shop energy efficiency through increased heating usage. As a result, shop energy (electricity and gas) use per square foot of trading floor area increased by 2% in Waitrose and 1.5% in John Lewis.
Refrigeration and cooling direct emissions, tonnes CO2e
John Lewis
2010/11 - 1,511
2009/10 - 2,412
2008/09 - 811
Waitrose
2010/11 - 64,398
2009/10 - 78,715
2008/09 - 80,798
Our target is to reduce Waitrose’s refrigeration and cooling direct emissions by 50% by 2012/13 against a 2008/09 baseline. We’ve achieved a 20% reduction so far. Work to improve data capture for John Lewis’ refrigeration and cooling contributed significantly to the increase in reported emissions between 2008/09 and 2009/10.
