JD SPORTS FASHION PLC RETAINS CDP A- RATING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR
JD Sports Fashion Plc ('JD'), the leading retailer of sports,
fashion and outdoor brands, notes that the Carbon Disclosure
Project ('CDP') published its latest results on 13th December 2022,
assessing almost 15,000 global companies on their environmental
disclosures. JD is pleased to announce that in these results it has
retained its 'A-' rating for Climate Change for the third
successive year and improved its Water Security grade to 'A-'.
JD's 2022 Annual report was produced in accordance with the Task
Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) requirements
and JD's CDP score provides independent assurance on the quality
and accuracy of our climate-related risk and opportunity
disclosures.
Investors making declarations under the Sustainable Finance
Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) can be encouraged by JD's ESG-related
accreditation and continued achievements, as outlined below:
-- Consistent, transparent disclosures via CDP demonstrate
sector-beating performance, achieving A- for Climate Change in
2020, 2021, and 2022.
-- Improving our Water Security CDP score to A- in 2022.
-- JD has Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) approval for
our Scope One, Scope Two, and Scope Three emission targets. All JD
targets are based on the 1.5degc target referenced within the Paris
Agreement.
-- JD supports (and is an Advisory Group member) to the
Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production ('WRAP') Textiles 2030
initiative, which includes Net Zero targets for new products.
-- JD is a member of RE100 which is a global initiative bringing
together the world's most influential businesses committed to 100%
renewable energy. Our operationally controlled UK and ROI stores
and sites use 100% renewable energy, and JD is set to achieve its
100% target for Western Europe by the end of 2022. Our global 100%
renewable energy target is 2025.
-- JD supports the United Nations 'Race to Zero' initiative, a
global campaign to rally leadership and support for a healthy,
resilient, zero carbon recovery that prevents future threats and
creates decent jobs and sustainable growth.
Neil Greenhalgh, Chief Financial Officer and Chair of the JD ESG
Committee, commented:
"Customers, colleagues, investors and suppliers should be very
encouraged by JD's continued strong performance on critical ESG
matters, as evidenced by the latest CDP results"
"Our scores remain well ahead of the retail sector average,
demonstrating JD's commitment and collective effort in this area.
Working closely with our largest brand partners, who have also
scored highly, JD shall continue to play a full part in reducing
the impact of climate change."
