It explains how environmental footprint spans forest-based inputs, supplier services for printing and logistics, data centres for digital content, and labour throughout the chain. The policy commits to sustainable sourcing, outlines four topic areas starting with environmental standards and paper purchasing, and describes targets such as net zero carbon emissions near 2030 and at least a 25% Scope 3 reduction by 2030 versus a 2019

Sourcing Policy  \nHachette UK  \nMarch 2023  \nHachette UK is one of the world’s largest book publishing groups. Our mission is to make it easy for everyone, everywhere, to unlock new worlds of ideas, learning, entertainment and opportunity. We publish and produce millions of books every year and we have a responsibility to do that in a way that is mindful of our impact on the environment and on society.  \nThe environmental impact of publishing extends from the forest sources that go into the books we make, to the suppliers that deliver our printing and logistics services, and the data centres that hold our digital content. The social impact relates to the people who work in that supply chain, turning our content into our publications.  \nThis Sustainable Sourcing Policy governs how we manage our impact within our extended production supply chain. We want to communicate our expectations clearly to our supplier partners so that, together, we can produce our content in the best possible way for both the planet and the people involved.  \nThis policy sets out our commitment to source sustainably and our expectations for how we want to work with our supplier partners. It covers four key topic areas:  \n1. Environmental standards  \n2. Paper purchasing and forest sources  \nWe are one of the publishers involved in the Book Chain Project, which collects and analyses data from across the publishing supply chain, from forest sourcing, to chemicals and materials, to labour and environment. We use that information to help inform our decisions at Hachette UK and measure progress towards our commitments.  \n1. Environmental standards  \nHachette UK is committed to reducing the environmental impact from our supply chain as far as possible and innovating to move from a linear production model to a circular one.  \nThat means finding ways to reduce waste and environmental impact at production,  \n Hachette UK Ltd Certificate Code SA-COC-002793, FSC Licence Code FSC C104740  \nsourcing sustainable materials and bringing those materials back into production at the end of life.  \nIn 2021, we undertook a full greenhouse gas (Ghg) emission inventory for all Hachette UK operations, including those in our overseas territories, and covering our supply chain impact. Following this assessment, we signed up to the global Science Based Targets initiative, committing to reach net zero carbon emissions by as close to 2030 as possible, and by 2050 at the latest.  \nOur Supplier Code of Conduct sets out our expectations for good environmental management within our supply chain, covering both management systems and reporting and performance across waste, water, energy and emissions.  \nThrough the Book Chain Project environmental questionnaire, we gather and assess environmental data from printers. The Book Chain Project Mill Assessment Framework  \nincludes assessments by the project staff of mill site environmental systems and performance.  \nAs part of our Ghg emissions reduction programme, we expect to exceed our minimum commitment of a 25% reduction in emissions across our supply chain (Scope 3) by 2030, from a 2019 base.  \nOur aim is to source all our key raw materials sustainably and the next section provides details on what this means for our largest raw material by spend, paper.  \nFor our other key raw materials- including plastic packaging, inks and varnishes-we are working with other publishers within the Book Chain Project chemicals and materials workstream to identify more sustainable material choices, and to manage chemical inputs throughout the production process.  \n Hachette UK Ltd Certificate Code SA-COC-002793, FSC Licence Code FSC C104740  \nWe are committed to removing as much plastic from the supply chain as possible. In terms of packaging, our move to one, new, state-of-the-art warehouse in the UK, the Hely Hutchinson Centre, has already resulted in a 60% reduction of plastic packaging.  \n2.
