Climate change
We aim to make all our UK & Irish operations carbon neutral by 2012. We'll maximise our use of renewable energy and only use offsetting as a last resort. And, we'll be helping our customers and suppliers to cut their carbon emissions too.

- 11. Bio-diesel
Conducting trials and move towards the use of 50% bio-diesel in our lorries as sustainable sources become available.

- 12. Green transport
Having introduced new transport technologies we aim to conduct further trials and extend the usage of successful innovations.

Progressively converting delivery fleets to cleaner EURO IV and V standard engines.

Having contributed towards the development of the Government's Quality Assurance Scheme we will continue to work with key stakeholders to develop our own policy on carbon offsetting.

- 15. Refrigerants
Replacing the most harmful HCFC gases by 2014. Extend our trial of using a new less damaging type of HFC gas (R407a) to replace existing HFC (R404a) gas. From 2010 all new installations will use eco-friendly CO2 systems wherever possible. We are aiming to reduce progressively reduce our total refrigeration greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change progress so far
Since 2007 we've reduced our CO2 emissions by 96,000 tonnes
