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 negative impact on people and the environment.
