CDP said its Supplier Engagement Rating Leaderboard celebrates the companies playing a crucial role in the transition to a Net Zero sustainable economy by engaging their suppliers.

We are making good progress in advancing our sustainability strategy as we build A Better Tomorrow™. We are reducing the health impact of our business and in 2022 increased the number of consumers using our non-combustible products to 22.5m. We also reduced Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 15% vs 2021 and have set new targets including:

• ��Achieving our 30% renewable energy target by 2025 three years early, in 2022, resulting in a revised target of 50% renewable energy by 2030;
• ��Increasing the initial target of a 15% reduction in waste from BAT’s operations by 2025, to 25%; having achieved a 21% reduction in 2022;
• ��Expanding the scope of BAT’s 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging commitment, beyond just plastic, by 2025; and
• ��Setting a new target of zero conversion of natural ecosystems in its Tobacco Supply Chain by 2025¹

“Collaboration is critical to lowering carbon emissions, which are the key cause of climate change,” said John O’Reilly, BAT’s Group Head of Procurement Strategy & Sustainability.

“It’s so important we engage with our supply chain. We can’t lower emissions on our own.

“It’s great to be celebrated and recognised for all our hard work in this area. But, of course, there is much more to be done. All of us have a role to play, not just those of us collaborating with suppliers, to continuously improve our ESG performance.”
