Sustainability

Building a sustainable business means looking at how we impact on the environment and our communities.

We do this by taking on the big environmental challenges, by looking after the growers, suppliers and colleagues who help us deliver on our commitments to the planet, and without losing sight of our famously low prices.

Recycling & Waste

Every year we find new ways of reducing and recycling the waste produced by our stores and depots and by 2010 we aim to send zero waste to landfill. And through a range of initiatives we are also helping our customers reduce their waste too.

Energy & Carbon

We’ve committed to reducing our energy consumption by 20% in our stores by 2012. This means considering the environmental impact of every part of our business, from the light bulbs we use to the heavy goods vehicles we drive.
