We remain committed to reaching our net zero targets whilst acknowledging that we are currently off the pace and need to accelerate this over the coming years. This has largely been driven by unexpected financial upheaval in our sector. It has drawn our attention to the efficiency of our operations, which has sadly at times come at the cost of prioritising the decarbonisation agenda we had set out. In 2027, we will look to redress this and develop a more robust and sustainable set of internal guidelines and actions.
