Sustainability metrics and targets

In December 2022, we submitted our targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and were pleased to receive confirmation that our near-term and net-zero targets have been approved by the SBTi. This sees Dunelm algin to the latest climate science from the IPCC by limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Dunelm intends to achieve these targets with direct emissions reductions, any residual emissions in the long-term, will be neutralised in line with SBTi criteria. 

Overall Net-Zero Target
Dunelm Group PLC commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2040 from a FY2019 base year.

Near-Term Targets
Dunelm Group PLC commits to reduce absolute scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year.
Dunelm Group PLC also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 50% within the same timeframe.

Long-Term Targets
Dunelm commits to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by FY2040 from a FY2019 base year.
