Sustainable raw materials
We're looking at the materials we use in every area of our business from fresh food and fabric to the way our shops are built. We aim to use materials from only the most sustainable sources protecting the environment and the world's natural resources for future generations.
-
- 53. Non-GM
Maintaining our non-GM food policy.
-
- 54. Sustainable textiles
Reducing the environmental impact of the textiles we sell throughout our supply chain.
-
- 55. Cotton
Launching a sustainability strategy covering all our cotton including approaches such as ‘Fairtrade’, organic and the international cotton industry ‘Better Cotton Initiative’ by 2008.
-
- 56. Food commodities
Working with key stakeholder groups, including the ‘Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil’ and the ‘Roundtable for Sustainable Soy’ to set acceptable standards. Set targets for our usage once these standards become available.

- 57. Wood
Making sure all the wood we use is FSC certified (or where FSC is not available, an equivalent independent standard) or is recycled.
