At Dollar Tree caring for our planet is central to how we operate responsibly. We’re committed to reducing our footprint by making our operations more efficient and continuously finding smarter ways to use less energy, reduce waste and conserve natural resources. Through thoughtful stewardship, we strive to create lasting value—for our business, our customers, and the communities we proudly serve.
At Dollar Tree we’re committed to achieving science-based net-zero emissions by 2050. This long-term goal builds on our ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiencies, strengthen resilience, and reduce our environmental impact across our operations and value chain — all in support of a healthier future for our business and the communities we serve.
Our Near-Term Targets:
Our path to net-zero begins with a clear understanding of our emissions footprint. By mapping emissions across our value chain, we’ve identified meaningful opportunities to drive reductions. We're investing in energy efficiency, accelerating our shift to renewable energy, and working to reduce operational waste across our business.
In 2023, we published our first climate risk disclosure aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We are updating this report in 2025 to reflect our continued progress and our evolving approach to climate risk and resilience.
For more information, refer to our 2024 CDP Climate Disclosure.
We’re taking a targeted, multi-pronged approach to reducing emissions across our operations and value chain. Our focus is on these key areas:
We’re investing in energy-efficient upgrades across our stores, distribution centers, and support facilities to reduce both energy consumption and Scope 1 and 2 emissions. These improvements also lower operational costs, enabling us to run smarter and more sustainably.
By incorporating clean energy into our electricity and natural gas procurement strategies, we’re helping to decarbonize our operations and contribute to broader grid modernization efforts in deregulated markets.
Through expanded reuse and recycling initiatives at our stores and distribution centers, we’re reducing operational waste, improving diversion rates, and addressing Scope 3 emissions tied to materials and waste.
We’re improving route efficiency, adopting fuel-efficient vehicles, and consolidating shipments to reduce fuel use and lower transportation-related Scope 3 emissions across our logistics network.
By working with our suppliers to set emissions targets and adopt more responsible practices, we’re helping to promote positive change across the industry and reduce upstream emissions throughout our value chain.
