What have we already achieved?

Through Plan A we have:

Made a real difference to the issues we tackleEngaged customers Motivated our peopleSti l t d i tiStimulated innovationOpened up new marketsMitigated riskMitigated riskDelivered financial return

A future store that:

Is zero embodied carbon in constructionIs made from 100% recycledIs made from 100% recycled material Is 100% recyclable when yrefurbished or no longer neededH t itiHas a net positive biodiversity impactIs resilient to climate changeIs resilient to climate change by being net water positiveBrings new benefits to the communities we serve

• Each Briton uses about 150 litres per day, h h b dd d ihowever the embedded water consumption per person is over 3400 litres every day

• 1.2 billion litres of water are flushed needlessly away every day in the UKaway every day in the UK.

• London is drier than Istanbul, South East England , ghas less water than the Sudan or Syria.

What we still need to do…• Continue the search for an industry accepted

methodologymethodology• Engage our supply chain, and address possible

mitigation routesg• Further investigate the connection between water

and carbon• Create a Water Strategy for our construction

processS l i• Scale up water measurement in stores

• Extend the scope to include fit out materials
