SCOPE OF THE REPORT
This report covers organizational activity for the 2023 calendar year (January – December). It includes information from our global operating companies and spans all our products and services, except as set out below. Finlays uses the Resource Advisor platform to manage our environmental data for reporting, tracking key performance indicators, and providing ongoing visibility into our global operations. For the January 2023 to December 2023 reporting period, Finlays engaged Bureau Veritas as an independent body, to provide assurance over our Scope 1 and 2 emissions (both location-based and market-based) disclosed within this Report. The scope of work was limited assurance over Scope 1 and 2 GHG data. You can find the verification statement here.
Exceptions to full disclosure:
Finlays holds a 49.5% share in Damin International Holdings Limited, China. As we do not have operational control, data from Damin is not included in this report, except in our Scope 3 GHG baseline and financial overview.
At the end of November 2023, we sold our tea farming business in Kenya (James Finlay Kenya). As we owned the business for most of 2023, we have included it in the figures of this report and provided a re-baseline where appropriate for future reporting.
