1 Timber - Best, Better & Good categories are defined in our John Lewis Partnership Timber Standard. - Scope excludes fitted furniture timber products e.g Fitted Kitchens. - Unverified: Timber sources which do not yet meet our Trusted Timber Standard, but with which we are working closely with our suppliers to ensure they meet our standard as soon as possible. This category does not include any products in scope of the EUTR.
2 Soya - We accept RTRS, Proterra, Danube/European, CRS, Cargill SSS and ISCC+ (with add-ons) certified soya; we prioritise segregated or mass balance supply chains but also use credits. - This target now also includes the expanded scope for 2019 including, non-liquid dairy products, dairy and eggs included as ingredients in our own-brand products.
3 RSPO-IS credit: Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil credits specifically supporting independent smallholders.
