The CDP singled out Tesco from the FTSE’s top 350 companies for the work it does to help tackle climate change and specifically its carbon reporting and understanding of how climate change affects the business.
Helen Fleming, Tesco’s director of climate change, said: “We have always taken the view that reporting our emissions is important to demonstrate the credibility of our own carbon reduction strategy. That’s why we believe the Government’s introduction of mandatory reporting is a critical step on the road to establishing a greener economy in the UK.
“Not only is reducing emissions the right thing to do for a responsible company, it also makes good business sense. Thanks to our carbon reduction measures, we are conserving more energy, operating more efficiently and making savings which we’ve been able to use in other areas of the business, like working with our suppliers.”
This year Tesco has increased the number of zero-carbon stores it now operates to seven including two new stores opening in Wales and Ireland. The company has continued to innovate in store with over 100 natural refrigeration systems installed across its global business.
