What do we need to do to achieve net zero?
Realising our ambitions requires a robust and actionable strategy that spans our operations and value chain. Progress depends on external enablers such as regulatory clarity, a net zero-ready workforce, resilient supply chains and technological innovation. Through modelling, analysis, and research and development, we are identifying interventions that meet our ambitions, minimise risk and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.

Barratt Redrow is committed to achieving net zero across its value chain by 2045, with near-term targets to halve direct emissions by 2030. Our approach spans material selection, construction methods, energy-efficient design, and partnerships across the supply chain. READ OUR SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
We have undertaken a detailed assessment of our total value chain footprint, gaining an understanding of which elements contribute most over time. We have identified five principal decarbonisation levers that we consider have the most material impact on achieving our transition towards net zero operations and supply chain.
Across all five levers, we are actively progressing actions to reduce emissions. While some initiatives are more advanced and already being implemented, others are at an earlier stage of maturity and require further collaboration with value chain partners to determine the most effective pathways, timelines and deployment approaches. Hover over each lever for more information.

Our net zero pathway
Using detailed emissions modelling, we have assessed how the actions within our five decarbonisation levers could reduce emissions over time.
The chart below illustrates the composition of our emissions footprint and how it could evolve on our journey to net zero. It shows the relative contribution of different emissions sources across our value chain and the estimated reductions achievable through our current decarbonisation activities.
The chart compares our forecast emissions under a business-as-usual scenario (grey bars) with the residual emissions expected to remain as our Net Zero Plan is delivered (coloured bars). While the pathway suggests we will be ahead of the required net zero trajectory in the early years, forecasting further into the future becomes more challenging. Delivery of the later reductions depends on increasing certainty around key decarbonisation initiatives, collaboration across our value chain and the maturity of emerging technologies needed to address harder-to-abate emissions. We continue to assess additional opportunities to strengthen our pathway and support delivery of our net zero ambition.
