Collaboration with key Tier 1 and 2 suppliers is essential to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions. In FY 2025/26, we strengthened our work with key supply chain partners to enhance energy efficiency, accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels within our supply chain. This included the development and regular review of supply chain partner-specific energy and decarbonisation roadmaps in line with our climate ambition.

As a member of The Fashion Pact, we collaborate with peers through its European Accelerator Programme. The programme’s aim is to enable more informed decision-making, with a focus on developing harmonised environmental data points covering energy, water and waste to ease the increasing reporting burden on suppliers while also improving access to quality primary data for brands.

We are committed to protecting nature and contributing to global efforts to tackle nature loss. ​ During FY 2025/26, we strengthened our disclosure approach by becoming adopters of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), reinforcing our commitment to transparent reporting and continuous improvement in managing nature-related risks and opportunities.​

As FY 2025/26 was the final year of our deforestation commitment, we have established a new target for FY 2026/27 onwards to achieve no deforestation across our primary deforestation-linked commodities (bovine leather, viscose, wood and paper) by FY 2029/30. This target is intended to enhance our alignment with the requirements of the Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) and to ensure greater robustness in the scope, definitions and assessment methodology of Burberry’s deforestation risk management.

In FY 2025/26, we maintained our efforts to reduce emissions through operational energy efficiencies and now have targets in place for our distribution hubs, fulfilment centres and internal manufacturing sites. In FY 2025/26, our total energy consumption decreased by 43% from a FY 2016/17 baseline and by 5% from FY 2024/25. Energy efficiency measures across our own sites were key to achieving this reduction. At our distribution hub in Blyth, the roof was replaced and solar panels installed, leading to improvements in energy efficiency, reduction in heat loss and new capabilities for on-site renewable energy generation.​

Across our operations, 153 sites have been LEED or BREEAM certified since FY 2018/19. In FY 2025/26, we obtained the LEED Gold certification in 18 additional stores and the BREEAM Excellent certification at our London headquarters, Horseferry House. These certifications set the standard for energy efficiency globally.​

In addition, 100% of the electricity we consumed was matched with an equivalent amount sourced from renewable tariffs and Energy Attribute Certificates or generated through on-site renewables, including solar panels installed at select sites in the UK, Italy and the USA.

Our Water Conservation Programme seeks to minimise potential negative impacts across our supply chain by working closely with supply chain partners to strengthen levels of water resilience.​

Our approach to managing water-related impacts and risks begins with mapping our Tier 1 to Tier 3 supply chain to identify facilities and their water-related risks, locating areas of high water stress. We work with our partners to implement our Water Resilience Assessment, which acts as a roadmap to improve water management by promoting a better understanding of water demand, driving water efficiency and recycling, and encouraging greater disclosure.​

Every year we conduct a supplier survey to map the occurrence and impact of extreme weather events in our value chain. In 2025, 109 supply chain partners responded to our survey. Supply chain partners were asked whether they experienced any extreme weather events during the previous calendar year, followed by additional questions to capture the type of event, the number of sites affected and the nature of the impacts, including property damage, operational disruption, or effects on goods and inventory, as well as impacts on people and the environment. In 2025, 10% of respondents reported having experienced at least one extreme weather event, a percentage in line with results from the previous year's survey.​

Given the impacts and dependencies our business activities have on water related to raw material farming and production, we are also taking steps to mitigate our impacts and risks at the raw material sourcing phase of our value chain. We are doing this by evolving our responsible sourcing criteria, ensuring they align to our ambition and industry best practice.
