In 2007 the Group set a number of long-term targets to direct and inspire our CR work. We have made good progress against these targets which we have reported in our Annual Report and Accounts. As we have met some of the original targets we set we have revised our targets to ensure we continue to improve our environmental footprint.  The updated targets are set out below.

Our 2013 targets are:

• To cut the absolute carbon emissions from our UK buildings by 15% (compared to the 2007 baseline)
• To cut the absolute carbon emissions from our UK fleet by 20% (compared to the 2007 baseline)
• To cut the packaging associated with every £100 of products that we sell by 40 per cent (compared to the 2007 baseline)
• To cut the number of single-use carrier bags by at least 50% (compared to the 2007 baseline)
• We will ensure that over 50% of the solid wooden products we sell are made from wood that is either recycled or certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
• Pushing up recycling, ensuring that at least 75% of our waste is recycled.
• For the Group's community programme to be raising £1m for a charity.
