Ethics & Sustainability Report 2023/24
A detailed snapshot of ESG developments across John Lewis and Waitrose operations
Circularity, waste, and environmental impact are core focusses of the John Lewis Partnership’s ESG report. Topline performance boasts a 27.5% reduction in operational food waste, with goals to reduce this figure even further in their operations and supply chains, encouraging consumers to do the same.
To this end, Waitrose have partnered with the Coronation Project to redistribute surplus food to charities across the UK, and where food cannot be diverted for human consumption, 75 Waitrose shops send food surplus to be repurposed for animal and pet food. Additionally, Waitrose has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Big Food Redesign Challenge and will begin stocking innovative products produced in harmony with nature.
