Viewpoint: Spreading eco-messages

Driving forward the sustainability agenda requires collaboration across internal teams and the supply base. This has been a key takeaway from Specsavers’ engagement with our suppliers over the past 12 months, focusing on emissions reduction, sustainable materials and training for our colleagues. It’s a collaboration that is delivering results.  

In our efforts to reduce Specsavers’ global emissions, we have, to date, engaged suppliers responsible for more than 60% of our greenhouse gases in order to measure their emissions. This engagement is vital to improve the accuracy of our own data and to signpost where we should place our efforts. It is not an easy task.
