Our home the Planet
We are mindful that the Planet provides the resources we use to create our products.
Dunelm’s social and environmental impact stretches far beyond our customers’ homes. We strive to be good and circular and look after all our homes, now and for generations to come.
Four pillars of our sustainability approach
Our home in Communities
We have a home in Communities where our stores and sites operate.
A home for our People
We create a home for the People working in our business.
Protecting our Business
Strong governance, risk management, and conduct policies protect stakeholders and preserve value.
Materiality
To understand the views of our internal and external stakeholders on our most material environmental, social and governance topics we carry out assessments to help manage our approach to ESG.
Our most recent materiality assessment mapped 25 impacts across different stakeholder groups through quantitative and qualitative interviews and surveys. From this we identified perceived ‘managed’ and ‘unmanaged’ risks and opportunities.

How we report
The metrics and targets we use to manage our climate-related impacts are chosen because they relate directly to our material climate risks and opportunities, and because they are where we can make the biggest positive impact.
We have set ambitious climate-related net zero 1.5°C aligned targets across all Greenhouse Gas scopes which have been validated by the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are supporters of the BRC industry Net Zero Carbon Target and the UK Textiles Pact industry carbon and water reduction targets.
