It’s a year since Kingfisher, Europe’s largest home improvement retailer (B&Q and Screwfix) launched Net Positive, its restorative approach to business. To mark the occasion and the scheme’s first full year results, the Group hosted a reception at the House of Commons to share its progress against ambitious targets.
One of the year’s biggest successes was Screwfix stores achieving ‘zero waste to landfill’. Screwfix collects and sorts all its own waste and then works with a recycling company to come up with solutions for waste. Andrew Livingston, Screwfix CEO, who attended the reception said “Last year we sorted 5,860 tonnes of waste from our stores and distribution centres and diverted it all from landfill. It’s been great to share our zero waste to landfill achievement with the Parliamentary Community and to show how even for a successful and growing business like Screwfix sustainable and successful aren’t mutually exclusive.”
