Sustainability and Climate Change 2026 Update

As we enter the final year of our Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy 2021-2026 (SCCS), it's an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come, and the impact of the commitments made since the strategy was launched in September 2021.

The SCCS Update 2026 reflects on the significant progress made over the past financial year, outlines our key delivery plans for 2026-27, and sets out a further revision of some original SCCS commitments.
