Decarbonisation Commitment

We issue a call to action for all stakeholders to get involved and support us by taking action together.

Collaboration across our sector is essential to achieving our commitments and delivering the actions within the Strategy & Roadmap. This includes all DIY retailers, suppliers, government, and customers.

Decarbonisation targets are a powerful way for organisations to kick-start action and make progress in reducing their carbon emissions.

Setting decarbonisation targets is a complex process, with numerous options available, varying in ambition, coverage, and timeframe.

The Scope 3 Taskforce has developed a set of decarbonisation targets for members to voluntarily commit to, providing a clear direction for the sector.

To do this we require all members of the DIY sector, retailers and suppliers, to become signatories of the Scope 3 Decarbonisation Commitment to ensure that they are addressing their own operational emissions and actively engaging their supply chains to reduce Scope 3 emissions.

We are most pleased to announce that seven of our leading members: Kingfisher (UK), OBI (Germany), Hornbach (Germany) Kesko (Finland), Wickes (UK), Maxeda DIY Group (Benelux) and Intergamma (Benelux) have become the first signatories to the seminal Global Scope 3 Decarbonisation Commitment.
