Marks and Spencer
WWF is working with Marks & Spencer to support Plan A, M&S' five-year, 100-point eco-plan, which includes commitments to make its UK and Republic of Ireland operations carbon neutral, send no waste to landfill and to significantly extend sustainable sourcing by 2012.
WWF is working on environmental projects in M&S’ agricultural supply chain as the retailer looks to increase its sourcing of sustainable raw materials. We are also supporting M&S in its efforts to help customers and staff take action to reduce their individual carbon footprint, including through WWF’s Footprint Calculator. The retailer is also helping to fund a major WWF conservation project in Borneo.

We are taking bold action already within our own business, although we have a long way to go. We have also promised to reach out to our customers, our staff and our suppliers to help them to take action to reduce their own environmental impact. We have already made some real inroads here, but we are delighted that we can now accelerate this process with expert support and advice from WWF.
Sir Stuart Rose, Executive Chairman, Marks & Spencer
