Our Better World Pledge.
Our strategic approach to sustainability is supported by three key pillars: Planet, Pets and People. We believe this is the right way to approach our responsibilities, and fulfil our purpose to create a better world for pets and the people who love them.
Our sustainable business model
Sustainability is vital to our vison to build the world’s best pet care platform. It’s what will enable us to maintain our financial, environmental and social capital, so we can create both short and long-term value, while protecting the resources that we all rely on.
