Loblaw Inc, one of Canada’s largest publicly traded retailers, began it’s Net Zero journey in 2016, when the company committed to a 30% reduction in corporate carbon emissions by 2030. But with advancements in energy management, equipment conversions, and through addressing refrigerant leaks, it was successful in achieving the 30% reduction target in 2020. Now, with help from the Science Based Target Initiative, the Company is expanding its ambitions to its full corporate, independent and franchise store network, its distribution centers, and ultimately its supplier network. With this, the Company is aiming to achieve a complete net-zero carbon emissions status for Loblaw’s operational footprint by the year 2040. As a next step it aims to achieve full net-zero for Scope 3 emissions, including those generated by suppliers, by 2050.
