Impact

Throughout our history, we have been inspired by nature and the outdoors, enabling explorers and innovators to open new spaces and unlock endless possibilities. Our ambition, driven by our purpose and values, is to do well by doing right.


Through creating luxury products made to last, tackling the climate crisis and supporting our people and communities around the world, we can work together to secure a better future for our industry, our planet and generations to come. 


Burberry Beyond

Social and environmental responsibility is a key aspect of how Burberry operates as a business, and is of great importance to our colleagues and customers.

Our Burberry Beyond strategy encompasses our work with respect to the sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities that exist within our value chain. With its Product, Planet, People and Communities pillars, the strategy aims to strengthen Burberry’s resilience by reducing our environmental footprint and ensuring the Company behaves responsibly towards our planet, our people and the communities we impact.

On the following pages, we provide detailed information regarding each strategic priority, including policies, actions and targets, and the steps taken during FY 2024/25 to deliver our strategy
