Below expectationsPending Review

Travis Perkins has delivered genuine Scope 1 & 2 reductions (33% by 2023) via HVO, electric forklifts, and renewable electricity. Scope 3 is murkier: absolute decline is unclear, intensity language masks trajectory, and 99% of footprint remains in supply chain. Water and biodiversity strategies are absent despite material relevance.
