The owner of the self-styled “King of the Trainers” JD Sports, Size? and Footpatrol has earned a place on the CDP Climate A List for 2024.
JD Group has been ranked by the global environmental non-profit CDP, which assesses submissions from thousands of companies on their sustainability efforts each year. This is then compiled into an annual A List, ranking companies on the disclosure of high-quality environmental data and demonstration of tangible climate action.
JD has been recognised for its strategic focus on reducing its collective environmental impact, its support for global initiatives, and data disclosure projects.
“We are proud that our ongoing climate achievements have seen us awarded a place on CDP’s Climate A List. Such an achievement means we are amongst the leading businesses globally for our climate accomplishments and shows our commitment to the transparency that is so vital for effective climate action,” said Régis Schultz, CEO of JD Group.
“Our ranking reflects support for key global initiatives and data measurement projects such as the RE100, as well as securing SBTi validation of our carbon reduction targets. Thank you to the hard work of all of our colleagues across our global business.”
JD Group is currently working through a five-year strategy. That strategy has four main pillars – JD brand first; complementary concepts; beyond physical retail; people, partners and communities.
In an exclusive interview, for the UK Top500 report, Sherilyn Paterson, group operations director at JD Group, said: “As consumers become increasingly discerning, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our ability to provide a compelling and differentiated omnichannel experience.”
