Travis Perkins sustainability score: 45/100

Scope 1 emissions 45,537 tCO₂e and Scope 2 (market-based) 402 tCO₂e reported in 2024 Sustainability Report, verified under AA1000AS and ISAE 3000. Renewable electricity tariff with Drax adopted November 2021 covers all UK operations. GHG Protocol methodology applied with granular facility tracking.

Scope 3 at 6,484,153 tCO₂e (2024). Company reports 99% of carbon footprint from supply chain. SBTi-accredited 63% reduction target by 2035; by end 2023, 57% of Group spend with suppliers who calculated carbon and set reduction targets. Absolute Scope 3 trajectory unclear due to intensity framing during sales decline.

Scope 1 and 2 achieved 33% absolute reduction by end 2023 against 2020 baseline (target 80% by 2035). HVO in 270 HGVs saves 3,500 tCO₂e/year; electric forklift programme saves 6,600 tCO₂e/year. Scope 3 2024 report uses intensity language during 4.7% revenue decline, obscuring whether absolute emissions are declining or intensity-driven.

100% renewable electricity tariff from Drax covering 1,700 UK facilities since November 2021. LED lighting, solar, air source heat pumps and EV charging installed across estate. HVO fleet transition underway (92% carbon saving vs diesel). Fleet not yet fully decarbonised; not an RE100 member.

20 consecutive years FSC chain-of-custody certification; 97% timber from certified well-managed forests. 40% Canadian Lumber Standard timber sourced domestically (up from 10%). Member of Timber Development UK. No TNFD disclosure, no quantified biodiversity footprint, no ecosystem restoration programme identified.

Over 95% of Group waste diverted from landfill via backhaul recycling operation. Plastic packaging reduced; 30% recycled content compliance with UK Plastic Tax. Foam replaced with cardboard; lighter shrink wrap adopted. No verified absolute waste volume data or formal circular economy targets with public reporting.

No water consumption data, reduction targets, or stewardship programme disclosed in public reports. Travis Perkins operates retail and distribution centres (non-water-intensive operations). Keyline subsidiary hosted roundtable on road runoff pollution (February 2024). No quantified footprint or formal water commitment.

SBTi-accredited targets: 80% Scope 1+2 reduction by 2035, 63% Scope 3 reduction by 2035, both from 2020 baseline. 33% S1+S2 reduction achieved by end 2023. Reduction-first strategy (HVO, electric forklifts, renewables) rather than offset-heavy. No SBTi net-zero validation. 2025 target review planned.

Annual Sustainability Report (2024, published February 2026) verified under AA1000AS and ISAE 3000. TCFD and SASB-aligned. Dedicated Group Sustainability Director (Megan Adlen). Board-level oversight evident. ESG-linked executive remuneration referenced but extent unclear. No mission-lock structure (B Corp or steward ownership).

No upheld regulatory actions, ASA rulings, greenwashing fines or credible NGO criticism identified. No InfluenceMap profile found; no anti-climate lobbying or misaligned trade association membership evidenced. Member of Timber Development UK (aligned with environmental goals). Trade association climate positions not publicly disclosed.
