GRI index

This report is aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. The GRI defines a number of application levels for sustainability reports, and we have assessed this report at a self-checked Application Level C.

This is the first year we have formally assessed our reporting against the GRI G3 Guidelines and reported on our adherence to this. We will work to increase our application level in future years. To find the information relating to each indicator, use the links in the index below.

3.10 2008/09 CO2e data for distribution and waste collections has been amended due to a change in the applied emission conversion factor, and data for business miles in company cars has been updated to include additional store-related business data. These changes also affect the total emissions and subtotals of scope 1 and scope 3 emissions and data for the transport-related CO2e (tonnes) per £m sales.

4.11 The John Lewis Partnership does not formally apply the precautionary principle – the idea that if the consequences of an action are unknown but could be negative, then it is better to avoid that action – to our decision-making processes. However, we do employ this approach in certain areas of our activities, such as addressing climate change.
