The retailer has saved over £70m in 2010 alone through reducing waste and energy usage in its operations, and delivered four years ahead of schedule on its promise to reduce absolute carbon emissions throughout its operations by 10%.
Asda, which operates over 500 stores across the UK, has been working towards stretching sustainability targets since 2005, when global parent Walmart announced its commitments to sustainable sourcing and reductions in energy use and waste.
Figures show that Asda has reduced its carbon emissions by 11.9%, exceeding its target to achieve a 10% reduction by 2015.
