Case Study: Dunelm drives supplier sustainability engagement with Worldly

How the UK’s Top Homeware Brand Engages Suppliers

Dunelm, a major UK homeware retailer, faced the challenge of meeting its ambitious climate goals, including a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. Recognizing that its greatest opportunity for impact was within its supply chain, the company needed a way to effectively engage its manufacturing partners on sustainability. To address this, Dunelm partnered with the vendor Worldly.

Using Worldly's platform and the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM), Dunelm worked with its suppliers to measure their environmental impact and track progress. Worldly provided crucial support through its Collaboration Suite, helping Dunelm scale its engagement efforts. The results were significant, with an 84.7% completion rate for the FEM among its Tier One suppliers in the first year. This successful collaboration helped integrate sustainability into Dunelm's core business practices and supplier relationships.
