Our annual and sustainability report is our main disclosure under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and is prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The content of the report is informed by a double materiality assessment, which identifies the sustainability issues that are most important from both an impact perspective on society and the environment, and a financial perspective for our business. This assessment covers impacts, risks, and opportunities across our own operations that include our distribution centres, offices, and retail stores, as well as our upstream and downstream value chain. The upstream value chain includes activities related to the extraction, production, processing, manufacturing, and transportation of raw materials, input goods, and products. The downstream value chain includes activities that occur after products are placed on the market, including their use, reuse, recycling, and final disposal.

As ESRS introduces defined reporting boundaries, terminology and formats, some areas of our sustainability work may appear in a different structure or at a different level of detail from previous years, and narrative examples are included more selectively. These updates reflect the ESRS disclosure requirements.
