New Look received the approval from SBTi on its emissions targets which it said were all aligned to a 1.5C pathway. This includes:

  • Near-term target to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, and reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by the same amount and within the same timeframe.
  • Long-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 and absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by the same amount and within the same timeframe.
  • Overall target to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040.

Sue Fairley, head of sustainability at New Look, said: “The approval of our targets by the SBTi has been an aim of ours ever since we launched our sustainability strategy two years ago, so this feels like a milestone moment for us. The progress we’re making on ‘E’, the ‘S’ and the ‘G’ – in equal measure – is testament to the strength of our partnerships and the way we are collaborating with others, and we’re excited to be moving towards our SBTi targets at pace.”
