Our Journey Toward a Lower-Carbon Future 

As part of our alignment with M&S’s Plan A, Gist is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 55% by 2029/30. This includes transitioning to low-carbon logistics, adopting diesel alternative fuels, and investing in innovative technologies. 

In the past year, we’ve made tangible progress: 

• Achieved a 1.3% improvement in carbon efficiency in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, by optimising our transport logistics and integrating low-emission vehicles into our fleet. 
• Successfully established a Scope 3 emissions baseline, a critical step in measuring our full carbon footprint and setting future targets. This baseline will serve as the foundation for annual reporting and long-term sustainability planning.
