What is the environmental programme?
Our environmental programme focuses on five areas:
- Energy
- Production and waste
- Food and waste food
- Logistics
- Travel and accommodation
These areas have been designed to align with six of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) - Affordable and clean energy, Climate action, Responsible consumption and production, Zero hunger, Reduced inequalities and Industry, innovation and infrastructure.
