Committed to Nature

We recognise that natural resources are finite and that healthy ecosystems, including oceans and land, are essential to our operations and supply chains. To reduce the environmental footprint of our products, we focus on four key areas: reducing greenhouse gas emissions; implementing circular economy principles to optimise resource use; ensuring responsible fishing practices and, managing water consumption responsibly.

During the COP 28 in Dubai, countries recognised the urgent need to tackle climate change. They agreed to accelerate global efforts by 2030, focusing on reducing emissions and supporting vulnerable countries. Bolton acknowledges the importance of accurately measuring greenhouse gas emissions and driving decarbonisation efforts along its value chains.

Water is a critical resource across our value chain — from R&D and product formulation to manufacturing and consumer use. Given the growing risks of water scarcity linked to climate change and population growth, responsible water management is a material issue for our business.

We have expanded our water strategy to encompass both ocean and freshwater stewardship. Our current focus areas include: assessing water-related impacts at our production sites; integrating water management targets into our corporate strategy; defining measurable freshwater objectives; and improving water efficiency across our operations.
