JD Group has secured a place on the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate A List 2024, underscoring its leadership in environmental transparency and climate action. CDP, a global environmental non-profit, evaluates thousands of companies each year, highlighting those making tangible progress in sustainability. This prestigious recognition places JD Group among a select few global leaders committed to minimising environmental impact, reinforcing its strategic progress in sustainability and dedication to a greener future.
“We are proud that our ongoing climate achievements have seen us awarded a place on CDP’s Climate A List. Such an achievement means we are amongst the leading businesses globally for our climate accomplishments and shows our commitment to the transparency that is so vital for effective climate action. Our ranking reflects support for key global initiatives and data measurement projects such as the RE100, as well as securing SBTi validation of our carbon reduction targets. Thank you to the hard work of all of our colleagues across our global business,” stated Régis Schultz, CEO of JD Group.
JD Group takes a sector-leading approach to sustainability, actively participating in global initiatives and environmental disclosure projects. Its science-based carbon reduction targets have been validated by the SBTi, and as a committed RE100 member, JD champions the transition to 100% renewable energy.
Despite strong Christmas and Black Friday trading, JD Group recently lowered its profit forecast amid challenging market conditions. The company reported 3.4% organic revenue growth for the nine weeks ending 4 January 2025. However, like-for-like revenue declined by 1.5% across November and December due to market volatility, though December rebounded with a 1.5% increase. JD also achieved record Black Friday week sales exceeding £300 million, marking a 14% year-on-year rise.
