House of Fraser targets resource-efficient supply chain

House of Fraser has joined the 2degrees Manufacture 2030 platform to drive environmental improvements across its supply chain.

The retailer is focusing on reducing its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and on reducing the consumption of resources and waste. House of Fraser hopes that this can be achieved by encouraging its suppliers to use the M2030 bee – a digital tool designed to help manufacturing brands easily identify and implement resource efficiency across their operations.

Dorothy Maxwell, head of sustainability at House of Fraser, commented: “Our partnership with 2degrees and the Manufacture 2030 platform aims to drive resource efficiency and embed good environmental practice across our supply chain.

Martin Chilcott, founder and CEO of 2degrees, added: “There has never been a clearer business case for resource efficiency, as it drives cost and reputational benefits. The platform’s success in delivering this, along with solving both site and enterprise-level challenges is a reason why leading brands such as House of Fraser and The Co-op are partnering with us.

“We are delighted that a brand with the stature of House of Fraser has signed up, and we hope to work closely with them to help improve their sustainable output,” he concluded.
