Burberry has achieved an A score for leadership in climate change from CDP.

CDP is an environmental non-profit. Burberry is one of a small group of organisations to achieve an A rating, with nearly 15,000 companies assessed. Burberry has a longstanding commitment to responsible business, with ambitious targets across its four strategic priorities: product, planet, people and communities.

Most recently, Burberry was one of the first companies globally to receive approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its net-zero emissions target. Burberry has a continued commitment to transparency as it works to achieve its ambitious goalsand will continue to push for greater change across the industry and beyond. Environmental transparency is the first vital step towards a net-zero and nature-positive future.

In a year of ever-increasing environmental concerns around the world – from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature – the need for transformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever.CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognised as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, taking into account publicly-disclosed information, how organisations are tackling environmental risks and demonstration of best practice, such as setting and reporting against meaningful targets.
