Climate change is a global challenge and an emerging risk to businesses, people and the environment across the world.
The Group’s objective is to keep ahead of the move towards more sustainable products and processes.
The company considers the move towards sustainability as an opportunity for business growth and will continue to build sustainability and carbon impact into new product development processes.
The Group’s technical department continues to monitor all relevant environmental regulations to ensure continued compliance. A structured approach to sustainability has been implemented.
Partnering with Qonstrue for Net Zero Goals
Creightons PLC is working with third-party consultants, Qonstrue, to integrate their net zero platform, adding focus to our journey. Qonstrue’s sustainability platform provides us with a more structured approach to climate related risks and GHG targets. Part of our work with Qonstrue sees the Group committing to participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) by completing the climate module in the FY2024/25 disclosure cycle.
Palm Oil Sustainability Efforts
Palm oil is a key factor within Creightons’ sustainability policies. The retailers that we deal with carry certain requirements when it comes to the use of palm ingredients, for which we’ve held the supply chain accreditation from the RSPO since 2014. It’s integrated into our quality management process and, presently, 99.9 percent of all the palm derivatives we use come from the RSPO sustainable sources.
Progress on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure
The Group has made massive inroads to our Task Force for Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) report over the last 12 months. We are compliant in most areas and have calculated our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as part of the streamlined energy and carbon reporting requirements.
