This is demonstrated by several of the initiatives and programmes that Whirlpool has established to improve sustainability across its operations in the UK. On a global scale, the company announced its commitment to reach net zero emissions in its plants and operations by 2030, covering over 30 of its manufacturing sites and large distribution centres around the world. In addition to being on track to achieving this target, Whirlpool UK's Peterborough headquarters and its manufacturing site in Yate have both achieved the ambitious goal of zero waste to landfill. Alongside this, all the company's 14 UK sites are powered 100 per cent by renewable energy, generated by wind and hydro power. Whirlpool UK is also committed to investing in technology and innovations to drive sustainability in household appliances to help consumers lower their carbon footprint.
