Currys has built a credible circular economy programme and reports emissions transparently with third-party assurance, but its Scope 3 emissions rose year-on-year despite a long-term reduction claim. Nature and water impacts are entirely unreported despite material supply chain exposure. The closure of its ESG Committee in September 2025 signals weakening governance.
