John Lewis Partnership plc Sustainability Review 2014
OUR SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
We’re proud of our achievements over the past 12 months. They’re testament to our Partners’ dedication – inside and outside the business.
The Partnership Constitution provides a set of guidelines about how we do business – about the relationships we hold with our customers, our suppliers, our communities and Partners. The work we are doing to protect our environment is testament to our values.
2013/14 has been another year of collaborative effort in successfully addressing sustainability across the Partnership.
There is still more to do as the scale of global challenges we face becomes more evident. For 2014/15, we are introducing a sustainability materiality assessment across the Partnership that will help us to identify and prioritise the issues our business is facing. Then we can better set out our priorities and plan and invest accordingly.
