Reducing our suppliers’ carbon emissions
Reducing our suppliers’ carbon emissions
Tackling carbon in our own operations is a good start, but this will only impact a small part of our overall carbon footprint.
The challenge is to understand emissions throughout our supply chains, looking at the full life-cycle impact of our products. This means working hard with suppliers to help them to reduce emissions, as well as helping our colleagues and customers reduce their own impacts.
By 2020, we'll have worked with our own brand suppliers to reduce carbon emissions across all of our own brand products by 50 per cent relative.

I love Sainsbury's product. Every product container comes with instruction of recycling which is great. Did not get the chance to say thanks to Sainsbury for their environmental concern. Two thumbs up!
