Environment

We care about our planet and the effect that both we, and our global suppliers, have on the environment. So we’re reducing our emissions, our water use and our waste.

Climate change and increasing resource scarcity are complex, global challenges which will affect every part of our business. To grow our business sustainably we must use our planet’s resources wisely and do our bit to tackle climate change. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our business, and helping our customers live more sustainably too. We’re cutting carbon in our operations and using new technologies to maximise energy efficiency. We’re also working hard keep food waste at a minimum across our value chain, by increasing supply chain efficiency, growing our network of charity food donation partners and helping our customers reduce food waste in their own homes.

We’re contributing to the UN Global Goals:

“It’s very important that we take responsibility for how we manage the impact that we have on the environment. Not just on a national level, but also on a global basis. We have thousands of suppliers around the globe and we care about the effects that those suppliers have on their local environments as well as our own.”
