Progress and Highlights
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
Reducing our Carbon Footprint Working with the Carbon Trust, we have determined the Group’s Carbon Footprint, which is established from the emissions of carbon dioxide from sources including energy usage, transport and waste. Morrisons Carbon Footprint covers our stores, depots, all transport (Group-owned and third party haulage) and also our in-house supply chain of manufacturing, processing and packing facilities. It is being used as a measure of our carbon emissions for the Group and taking 2005 as the baseline, we aim to reduce our Carbon Footprint cumulatively by 36% by 2010. In the past 12 months we have achieved a 6.6% reduction in our total Carbon Footprint of 90,874 tonnes.
To achieve reductions in our emissions, we are continuing to implement a carbon and energy strategy for the business based on:
- 1. Measuring and monitoring energy consumption
- 2. Implementing ‘good housekeeping’ policies
- 3. Introducing additional energy saving technologies
- 4. Sourcing and generating renewable energy
Our target is to reduce Group energy use by 8% per sqm by 2010, based on 2005 emissions. We are primarily focused on where we can make the biggest impact, which is on reducing energy used at our sites, most notably for refrigeration. However, across the Group, we have achieved a reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions from energy (electricity and gas) of 9% over the past year.
