Swindon-based WHSmith has announced the launch of its new
sustainability action plan titled Our Journey to a Better Business. “The plan
is designed around three core areas: protecting the planet, looking after our
people and supporting the communities we serve,” the company said.
It reflected on the progress that WHSmith had made since its
first sustainability report was published in 2006, while recognising that there
was more work to be done to “address current environmental challenges and
tackle social injustice.”
The action plan includes a series of aims and objectives
across eight main topics including climate change, plastics and packaging,
diversity and inclusion, workers’ rights and children’s literacy.
