Pathway to net zero

Our goal

Net zero carbon emissions by 2040

From our overarching environment plan comes our pathway to net zero
carbon emissions.

Approved by the Board in 2020, our long-term commitment is to reach net zero from our operations by the end of 2040. This includes several milestones, such as the transition to an ultra-low emission fleet, which has already commenced, and the reduction in our energy emissions through the transition to renewable property electricity. Also included is our ambition to find a more sustainable alternative to the use of sulfuryl fluoride in biosecurity and termite-related treatments.

We believe that this goal is bold and stretching, given we operate in 83 countries, including many emerging markets. But, we believe this will unlock a new level of energy and innovation as we seek to differentiate the Company as a leader in environmental sustainability.

We continue to analyse our markets and develop our plans locally, and in 2021 we plan to enhance our data collection and introduce a new Group-wide system. We will update our plan annually to reflect our progress and latest market insight.
