Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier Name: Browns More Hair Now Ltd

Publication Date: 02/03/2026

Commitment to achieving net zero

Browns is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2030.

Baseline emissions footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions.
Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Current emissions reporting

Emissions reduction targets

In order to continue our progress to achieving net zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years to 0 tCO2e by 2030. This is a reduction of 100%.

From November 2025, we relocated the Browns warehouse and consolidated both the warehouse and customer service operations into our sister company, Nicola Jane, already aiding to the reduction.

From March 2026, we will be moving into a new warehouse facility powered by a green energy supply, bringing together all warehouse, customer service and office functions under one site. This will give us full operational control of the building.

In addition, together with our parent company, we are onboarding a carbon accounting platform, Normative. Our finance teams are now recording all Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions data, and we are retrospectively backdating data for 2025 to enable accurate publication of our group emissions.

Carbon reduction projects

Completed carbon reduction initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2025 baseline. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 0.24 tCO2e, a 22% reduction against the 2025 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract.

Warehouse consolidation and relocation (2025–2026): In November 2025 we consolidated the Browns warehouse and customer service operations into our sister company, Nicola Jane, reducing duplicated space, energy use and associated logistics emissions. From March 2026, we are moving into a single, consolidated warehouse, office and customer service facility, improving operational efficiency and reducing our overall energy footprint. The site has EV charge points, Led and sensor lighting being installed.
Transition to green energy supply: The new consolidated site will operate on a renewable electricity tariff with Octopus, supporting a reduction in Scope 2 emissions from building energy consumption.
Carbon data management and reporting: In partnership with our parent company, we are onboarding the carbon accounting platform, Normative, to systematically capture and report Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Our finance teams are recording emissions data and retrospectively backdating 2025 data to ensure accurate and transparent group emissions reporting.
Operational efficiency and environmental governance: The consolidation of functions into one controlled site reduces unnecessary energy use, internal transport and operational duplication, while strengthening internal governance around emissions tracking, supplier engagement and sustainability reporting.

Future carbon reduction initiatives

In the future we hope to implement further measures such as:

On-site renewable energy (Phase 2): We are assessing the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery storage at our consolidated facility to generate renewable electricity on-site, reduce reliance on grid energy and further lower Scope 2 emissions.
Supply chain engagement (Scope 3): We will work more closely with key suppliers and logistics partners to improve emissions data quality, encourage lower-carbon transport options and identify opportunities to reduce upstream and distribution-related emissions.
Sustainable logistics and operations: Following the consolidation of warehouse, office and customer service functions, we will continue to optimise delivery schedules, reduce unnecessary transport movements and improve operational efficiency to lower overall emissions.
Renewable procurement and long-term decarbonisation: We will maintain and review our green energy supply and explore further opportunities to increase the proportion of renewable energy used across operations as part of our long-term decarbonisation strategy.
