  • LIFE CYCLE IMPACT

    To reduce the overall environmental impact of our products and operations we use Life Cycle Assessment to inform future research and product developments.

  • TREATING WASTE AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE

    Cutting waste and reducing water use are priorities. Increasingly we recognise the value of our resources by seeking innovative ways to reuse or recycle them.

  • REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

    We are constantly investigating new ways to tackle our carbon footprint as we strive towards a 30% reduction in our emissions across our manufacturing operations by 2020.

  • CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 12 MILLION PEOPLE

    We support local and global communities with humanitarian & health, education, design, technology & talent, environment & conservation projects through our 2020 Global Corporate Social Responsibility programme.

OFFSETTING EMISSIONS

We offset 100% of our manufacturing assembly emissions and use carbon finance to invest in local projects around the world. For example, we supported the distribution of innovative LifeStraw water filters to over 1,200,000 people in western Kenya, meaning they no longer have to boil water to make it safe for drinking.

We have also made great strides in cutting water usage, energy consumption and waste to landfill.

LION PROOF BOMAS

A boma is a fence made from locally-sourced materials and used to protect people and livestock from lions and other predators, thereby helping to protect lions from being hunted by herdsmen. We work with the Born Free Foundation to help erect bomas in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, protecting some 2,500 people and 32,500 animals.
