Lawrence David is committed to understanding and reducing the environmental impact of its operations, products and wider value chain.
Our FY2025 Carbon Balance Sheet measures our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions for the period 1 January to 31 December 2025. Produced by Inspired ESG, it provides a consistent basis for measuring our progress and identifying where future reductions can have the greatest impact.
21,951 tCO₂e – Total location-based Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
13.5% reduction – In Scope 1 emissions compared with FY2024
24.5% reduction – In location-based Scope 2 emissions
95.7% – Of total emissions arise from our wider value chain
Our direct operational emissions continued to fall during FY2025.
Scope 1 emissions reduced by 13.5%, supported by the replacement of older boilers, lower LPG usage and reductions in diesel consumption across our HGV fleet.
Location-based Scope 2 emissions reduced by 24.5% as Lawrence David increased on-site generation and reduced its reliance on grid-supplied electricity. Most electricity meters also moved to 100% renewable supplies during the year.
Our overall location-based footprint increased by 9.7% compared with FY2024. This was principally driven by Scope 3 emissions associated with purchased goods and services and the end-of-life treatment of sold products.
Scope 3 represents 95.7% of our total footprint and remains the most significant opportunity—and challenge—for future improvement. We will continue working with suppliers, customers and employees to improve data quality and identify meaningful opportunities to reduce emissions across our value chain.
Our FY2025 Carbon Balance Sheet explains our emissions inventory, year-on-year performance, calculation methodology and recommendations for improving future environmental data.
