THE WHAT? Boots and No7 Beauty have partnered with Manufacture 2030 in order to accelerate their ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and drive industry-wide climate action. The UK-based drugstore chain is the first health and beauty retailer to join the platform.

THE DETAILS Through the platform, the WBA-owned retailer’s suppliers will gain access to a comprehensive suite of best practice tools, expert knowledge and funding opportunities to support their decarbonization journey and improve operational efficiency.

THE WHY? Steve Ager, Chief Customer and Commercial officer at Boots UK and ROI, explains, “At Boots we believe that healthy communities need a healthy planet… Operating in a way that cares for the environment has never been more important for Boots and the No7 Beauty Company, but we cannot do this without our valued suppliers.

“As part of our commitment to the British Retail Consortium Action Roadmap, we are working to collectively achieve Net Zero by 2040 and we can only do this by working together with all parts of our supply chain.”
