The John Lewis Partnership has unveiled plans to reduce its CO2 emissions to net zero by no later than 2050. The UK retailer will initially focus on eliminating one-third of greenhouse gas emissions in the next 10 years, with investments in biomethane-powered lorries, electric vans and charging infrastructure, as well as ensuring its electricity is 100% UK-sourced and renewable. The new targets build on significant emissions reductions already achieved, including a 70% reduction in emissions achieved last year against a 2010 baseline – two years before the 2020 deadline the company had set itself. In a statement, John Lewis, which operates more than 1,000 stores across Britain, said: “Climate change is one of our biggest challenges – we are committed to reducing carbon emissions, but it takes time for us all
