WHO ARE FRASERS GROUP

Frasers Group started as a small store in Maidenhead in 1982 and from there, grew to become a global powerhouse. We are now a collection of the world’s most iconic brands including Sports Direct, House of Fraser, FLANNELS, GAME, Jack Wills, Missguided, I Saw It First, Evans Cycles, USC, and Everlast.

We believe the greater the risk, the greater the reward. We’ve never been afraid to diversify our
portfolio, elevate our stores and rethink the way our industry works.

We push boundaries. We do things that haven’t been done before. We elevate our business, inspire each other and have the courage to think without limits — together we are creating a future. Together, we are working towards being the leading international sports and lifestyle retailer.

There’s great strength in difference, but it doesn’t just happen. We don’t sit back and wait — we
own it and get the job done.

Because when you fear less, you can achieve more.

SUCCESS STORIES:

At Frasers Group, we believe in the potential of our graduates. The Elevation Programmes focus on investing in the development of fearless early talent to become the future leaders of a global retailer.

But don’t just take it from us. We welcome and celebrate individuality and take pride in only allowing a colleague’s contribution to define their path. Since starting on the Commercial Elevation Programme in 2020, two of our graduates, Chelsea and Ben are now leaders in Frasers Group within this division, heading up major functions in the company.

Since joining Frasers Group after university, Chelsea is now the Head of European Expansion. After 2 years she is now responsible for Frasers Group making an impact across the continent. Ben is Head of Football, and headed up the Frasers Group football department in the lead up for the 2022 football World Cup and was entrusted with a budget of £400 million. This level of fast-track progression would not be possible without the determination, hard-work and fearlessness of our early talent, matched with Frasers Group’s deep belief in their employees to reach their full potential.

RETHINKING RETAIL RESPONSIBLY

We recognise that we have a responsibility to manage the impact our business has on the environment, and we are committed to reducing this both now and in the future. We continue to comply with the Government’s Carbon Reduction Commitment and have identified key areas where we can make a difference, in particular energy usage in our stores, transport and waste management.

Carbon Footprint
Our growth has increased the number of our stores and the absolute GHG emissions as result. Our chosen intensity ratio of electricity-related emissions per £m revenue has decreased by 10% due to the reduced CRC factors and efficiencies.

Waste Management
All of our stores now use recyclable carrier bags and our staff actively promote "bag for life"to our customers.
