Sustainability
We understand the importance of sustainability and that, by working together, we can make sure our work environment is a pleasant place to be – and protect the planet too
Our sustainability strategy is underpinned by our pillars:
People
Join, grow and stay with our group
Planet
Build climate resilience and preserve resources
Product
Enable circularity in watches and jewellery through repairs, servicing and our pre-owned business and improve traceability and sourcing standards
Achievements in 2023
- We began a supply chain engagement programme with the aim of achieving shared goal and increased our repairs and servicing capacity to support a more circular economy.
- 100% of UK properties powered by renewable energy
- 84% of Group properties powered by LED lighting
Carlton Park Support Centre
Energy efficiency is a priority within our UK Support Centre Estates Redevelopment Programme and this is evident within our new Carlton Park Support Centre.
In addition to standard energy efficient technologies, the building has been fitted with a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system, which uses heat pumps to provide hot water. This VRF system is estimated to reduce energy use by 58% and cut CO2 emissions by 75% by 2030. In FY24, we intend to install solar panels at this Support Centre, which are estimated to prevent approximately 75 tonnes of CO2 emissions* from entering our atmosphere and will result in over £3.2 million in energy savings by 2048.
