Sustainability

Lewis Group recognises its responsibility as a business which not only has rights but responsibilities towards society and the environment in which it operates. Sustainability for the Group, which has been in business for almost 90 years, means creating value for stakeholders by:

  • Offering affordable, exclusive and quality household goods for customers
  • Supporting employees, customers and communities
  • Creating long-term value for shareholders
  • Ensuring that the business model remains sustainable
  • Meeting its responsibilities in sustaining the environment

The Group recognises the need to introduce and maintain environmentally sustainable business practices.

The Group’s environmental practices will evolve, guided by environmental principles, economic drivers and the commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen.

Practices are guided by the Group’s environmental policy and the environmental management system .

Energy and carbon

The Group continues to measure and calculate its carbon footprint as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition), which includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions and certain Scope 3 emissions, since 2018. We acknowledge that the underlying data of our carbon footprint has been based on material extrapolations or estimates, and as part of our five-year plan to improve climate-related reporting, we continue to engage with a service provider to ensure we have a more accurate baseline against which we can set targets, and track performance against such targets.
