If you think of net zero , for example , only around 2 % of our total greenhouse gas emissions come from our own operations – the majority sits in the production of the materials we buy . It would be impossible to achieve our commitment on using recycled plastic without our suppliers . Then there ’ s living wage – I ’ m very proud we ’ ve achieved that within our own operations , which is a great inspiration for our partners to drive progress in their operations as well .
On top of that , our supplier partners have great ideas for how to make our products better and how to bring those innovations to the market .
