The company reports the progress update against commitments in 2017 hence considered.

Plan A Report 2020, pg. 11

"RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY**

This year, 86% of the electricity purchased for M&S operated stores, offices and warehouses worldwide came from on-site generation or green tariff renewable sources. This is down from 100% last year due to the exclusion of international stores, Food warehouses and some Clothing & Home warehouses where renewable electricity tariffs are not in place."

pg. 4

"This report is the final update on performance against commitments last updated in 2017."

Plan A Report 2018, pg. 29

"RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY**

Aim Between 2017 and 2035, 100% of electricity purchased for M&S operated stores, offices and warehouses worldwide will be classified as renewable.

Progress This year, all the electricity purchased for M&S operated stores, offices and warehouses worldwide came from on-site generation, green tariff renewable sources, or was supported by renewable electricity certificates. A small amount of electricity (1,738 MWh), equivalent to 0.3% of our consumption, was generated on-site using diesel generators to assist relief of peak grid demand in the UK."
