We estimate that our transport and distribution systems emit a similar proportion of CO2 emissions from energy as our manufacturing operations. This means that compared to other parts of our value chain, this is not particularly energy intensive.
However, we make millions of products that must be moved efficiently from our factories to their point of sale. Our logistics network transports our finished goods over 1.5 billion kilometres each year – the equivalent of travelling to the moon and back more than 2,000 times. Goods transport has an extremely high dependency (over 90%) on a single energy source - fossil oil. This means that as we grow our business, the CO2 emissions will grow in line. We are working to reduce this dependency.
