- Data limitations in soy sourcing (supplier data gaps, reliance on estimations)
- Data limitations in recycled polyester reporting (incomplete data on trims, filling materials, reliance on estimations and wastage factors)
- Data limitations in emissions reduction reporting (reliance on estimations for missing energy consumption data)
- Data limitations in plastic reduction reporting (reliance on estimations for product quantities)

Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
📈 Emissions by Report Period
| Report period | Headline emissions figure reported |
|---|---|
| 2023-04 to 2024-03 | 361.0K tonnes CO2e (location-based Scope 1&2) |
| 2022-04 to 2023-04 | 6.1m tonnes CO2e (Scope 3) |
| 2021-04-04 to 2022-04-02 | 314.0K tCO2e (location-based Scope 1 & 2) |
| 2020-04 to 2021-03 | 298.0K tCO2e/year |
| 2016-04 to 2017-03 | 526.0K tCO2e/year (Location method); 221000 tCO2e/year (Market method) |
Each row is the headline figure extracted from a different report; scope coverage and methodology can change between years.
