8.0 Carbon reduction
The Wernick Group has set a challenging target to reduce
our carbon footprint and achieve net zero by 2040, against
the baseline of 2022.
Our commitment goes beyond just complying with our legal requirements
and en route to achieving net zero carbon, we have set a series of targets
representing step changes in total Group carbon emissions. This ensures that
not only will the Wernick Group lead the way in reducing carbon, but we can
adapt to a changing climate.
