N Brown's emission targets approved by SBTi

N Brown Group, the owner of online fashion retail platforms JD Williams, Simply Be and Jacamo, has committed to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030.

The target is part of N Brown’s wider sustainability strategy, which includes the group’s ambition to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 under the British Retail Consortium’s (‘BRC’) Climate Action Roadmap.

Sarah Welsh, CEO of Retail at N Brown, said: "We believe online fashion should be sustainable, which is why our sustainability strategy is at the core of our business strategy. We’re committed to our key long-term goals of ensuring that all our own brand products are sustainable by 2030 through our partnership with Textiles 2030, and to becoming net zero by 2040 through the BRC’s Climate Action Roadmap.

"N Brown has taken a significant step forward in our net zero ambitions by achieving approval from the SBTi, and we look forward to continuing to make positive changes to minimise our climate impact."

Angela Gaskell, Group Sourcing, Sustainability, Quality & Fit Director at N Brown, added: "The SBTi’s approval is a key milestone in N Brown’s sustainability strategy and reflects our commitment to deliver meaningful change towards reducing the impact of our operations."
