John Lewis Partnership – Clean Transport Fleet

The John Lewis Partnership (JLP) purpose is not to return value to shareholders, instead it is defined as ‘Happy People, Happy Business, Happy World.

JLP is the first retailer in the world to set validated science-based targets on reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) originating from forests, land, and agriculture. As a responsible retailer we must reduce our consumption, find renewable alternatives, and look critically at our impact across our entire value chain and take action.

We’re continuing our ambitious operational carbon reduction committing to be net zero carbon across our own operations by 2035.

The JLP transport fleet is significantly decarbonising operations through investment in new, greener technologies.

Our commitment is to end the use of fossil fuels across our transport fleet by 2030.

We have already reduced the carbon emissions of our fleet by over 40% through efficiency and the use of biomethane trucks, innovative electrically driven trailer refrigeration and electric vans in our e-com & Home Services fleets. Our Engineering and Alternative Fuels Implementation specialists have identified opportunities and initiatives to drive the overall carbon reductions year on year with successful projects delivering both quantitative and qualitative benefits to the Partnership plan and purpose.
