The company has set a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 55% by 2030, using a 2016/17 baseline. As of recent reporting, Next has achieved significant progress towards this goal, with reductions of up to 47% reported against this baseline. Furthermore, Next has a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by FY2030 from an FY2017 base year. Additionally, they commit to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 40% per million GBP of sales by FY2030 from an FY2020 base year. The company has also reported historical intensity-based reduction targets, including a 35% reduction in electricity consumption (kg CO2e/m²) against a 2007 baseline by 2016, and a 10% reduction in fuel used per m² for retail distribution against a 2007 baseline by 2012.
