With the recent launch of our three-year environmental initiative, we are targeting reduction efforts in six major operations - Bahrain, London, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia and Algeria. Together they comprise 88% of our Group’s energy usage, 92% of water consumption and 93% of the GHG emissions generated by water and energy consumption.
The first phase targets Bahrain, London and Egypt, which collectively contribute 64% of the Group’s energy usage, 75% of water consumption, and 63% of our water and energy related emissions. The second phase, beginning in 2026, will capture the remaining three operations of Jordan, Tunisia and Algeria. We expect to start realising the benefits from reduced energy, water and GHG emissions in late 2025.
The inclusion of supplier emissions in 2023 marked a significant expansion of our reporting scope. In 2024, we further improved both the quality and coverage if our data - particularly across our Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt operations - capturing a broader range of water usage, waste and other data.
Looking ahead, we aim to further strengthen our insights through a spend-based methodology and better identify emission hotspots across purchased goods and services. This will enable more targeted supplier engagement and drive focussed emission reduction.
