Net zero carbon

Reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions

Scope 1 and 2 emissions are those generated directly by our operations. Globally, the food sector contributes to around one third of all Greenhouse gas emissions, so as a major food retailer, we know that we have a responsibility to mitigate our impact on the planet - reducing the emissions that our direct operations generate is a key part of this.

Reducing Scope 3 emissions

Scope 3 emissions are those which are generated indirectly through our supply chain, including carbon emitted by our suppliers (upstream) and from the use and disposal of our products (downstream). They account for 96 per cent of our total emissions and are widely recognised as the most complex to reduce. Tackling them requires deep collaboration across sectors and supply chains.
