We are embracing opportunities to decarbonise our operations to meet our environmental responsibilities and are committed to contribute towards the achievement of science-based decarbonisation targets set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi has validated the near term and net-zero targets of ABF Sugar, of which British Sugar is a subsidiary; to be achieved by 2030 and 2050 respectively.

Alongside our growers and suppliers, we are constantly looking for solutions which will help tackle climate change and better protect our environment. Seizing the opportunities that come with meeting society's broader sustainability challenges will allow our industry to become even more efficient, innovative and competitive. Unleashing our potential so that consumers in the UK and elsewhere can enjoy our products for another 100 years and beyond.
