Our Focus

  • Reduce our carbon emissions and make progress with our science-based targets ("SBTs"), as approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative ("SBTi"). These targets are aligned to the more ambitious 1.5ºC scenario set out in the Paris Agreement (2015).
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year.
  • Increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030 from 0%
    in 2020.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from ‘Purchased Goods and Services’, ‘Capital Goods’ and ‘Upstream Transportation and Distribution’, by 25% before 2030 versus a 2020 base year.
  • Our ultimate aim is to achieve Net Zero emissions across our value chain by 2050. We recognise we cannot do this alone, so will collaborate and partner with our suppliers, vendors and customers to work towards a Net Zero future.

Priorities for the Next 12 Months:

  • Building upon strong foundations laid in FY24, the key focus in FY25 is to create the strategy and roadmap for Halfords Net Zero plan.
  • Continue to seek ways to further reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions e.g. increased EV adoption rates for colleagues.
  • Utilise improved tools and datasets to engage positively with suppliers on reducing Scope 3 emissions, whilst supporting them on their own Net Zero roadmap.
