Sainsbury’s has set a target to become a net zero business across its own operations by 2040.
It has made a commitment to invest £1 billion over the next 20 years in reaching the goal, a decade ahead of the UK Government’s target.
The supermarket said its current carbon footprint is one million tonnes – a 35% absolute reduction over the last 15 years – and it has been awarded an ‘A’ rating for tacking action on climate change by global environmental impact non-profit CDP.
Sainsbury’s will work with the Carbon Trust to assess its emissions and set science-based targets for reduction and will publicly report on its progress every six months.
It also intends to work with suppliers to set their own net zero commitments, in line with the Paris climate goals.
