Over 84% of the Group’s sales come from products supplied by leading third-party brands. Working with premium brands, we add their global reach, recognition, resources and environmental investments to our own.
Both the Group and our largest brands have the ambition of achieving sustainable, transparent progress in the challenge to reduce the impact of climate change.
Our Group and key brands will only achieve our own environmental targets if corporate metrics and action is mirrored by global infrastructure investment from larger, developed nations.
By this we acknowledge the necessity of investment – primarily in developing nations (from renewable energy capability to climate adaptation support, and beyond), but also for circular economy-related infrastructure within developed nations.
Global financial support, individual behaviour changes and the very best efforts of corporate entities can and must all succeed in order to reduce the impact of climate change.
With the strategic support of the JD Group ESG committee, our Private Label and Sustainability teams have embedded improved sustainability awareness and actions across our supply chain operations. Achieving full transparency of the supply chains remains a priority.
