Making progressPending Review

The Gym Group has credible SBTi-validated net-zero targets and 100% renewable electricity procurement since 2019, but undermines this with simultaneous estate expansion that risks absolute emissions growth. Nature, water, and supply chain impacts remain largely unquantified and unmanaged despite moderate operational relevance.
