Our Roadmap for Responsible Growth
Strategic Focus Areas for Emissions Reduction
We’re taking a targeted, multi-pronged approach to reducing emissions across our operations and value chain. Our focus is on these key areas:
Energy Efficiency
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.
Clean Energy
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.
Waste Reduction & Recycling
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.
Transportation & Logistics Optimization
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.
Supplier Engagement
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.
