Sustainability

Sustainability at Very

We recognise the choices we make as a company have an impact on the world we live in, and we’re committed to creating a sustainable future for our business and the communities in which we operate.

Our approach to sustainability has three clear pathways to minimising our global impact.

Environment: fight climate change and protect the world’s natural resources.

Social: protect the human rights of people through our business and supply chain.

Product: ensure our products have less impact on people and the environment.

CEO commitment

Sustainability is a key priority for The Very Group and I’m proud of the progress we’re making. We’ll keep investing in sustainability to deliver even greater change in the months and years ahead.
