Transport
We aim to reduce transport emissions by 15% by 2020. This excludes the effect of business growth, which means we need to reduce emissions by around a half for each item we carry. As a result of the increase in sales and the shift to greater fulfilment of online orders, this has been a challenge. However, we aim to meet our target by reducing miles driven, improving fuel consumption, and exploring lower carbon fuels. See
www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/ ourenvironment for more on our approach.
Waste
We aim to divert 98% of our operational waste from landfill by year-end 2015/16 which we are on track for. We continue to look for opportunities to increase the use of recycled materials in our buildings and, where possible, to make this a closed-loop solution. See
www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/ ourenvironment for more information.
Supply chain emissions
We recognise there is much more work to do with our supply chain partners, communities and customers to widen our circle of influence and create bigger change through collaboration. See pages 56, 64, 72 for how we are managing our impact through sourcing.
Collaboration
We work with a number of organisations to help us reduce our environmental footprint, primarily through research, and engagement with policy makers. For example, we sit on a number of the British Retail Consortium’s (BRC) working groups, including the Environmental Policy Action Group.
Our priorities
To ensure we are driving and measuring our progress in the right areas, we will identify and establish key indicators which we will start reporting against in 2016.
Partnership emissions
Through our Waitrose Farm Risk assessment, we are encouraging our suppliers to understand their environmental footprint.

We currently operate 44 trucks using gas dual-fuel technology. These vehicles use both diesel fuel and methane gas – the gas displaces around 40% of diesel. Methane produces less carbon emissions than diesel, in particular where bio-methane is used. One of our dual-fuel trucks running on bio-methane will reduce overall carbon emissions by 36%.
