MÅLBAR
We have started to measure the CO2 footprint on our products in partnership with Danish company Målbar. Using their Climate Screening Tool, we are currently collaborating with six of our key suppliers to measure our climate impact - from raw material to the final product arrives at our warehouse. The insights and data we gain from this work, will help us to set targets for improvements going forward.
