Sainsbury’s unveils new 2030 climate targets that include land use and agriculture
This is the first time the UK retailer has set goals for land use emissions, which come with a commitment to end deforestation across primary commodities by the end of 2025.
UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s is working towards a 68% reduction in operational emissions as well as two separate value chain goals by 2030 – new targets that have just been approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative.
Sainsbury’s is the latest retailer to refine its decarbonisation plans, following Aldi UK and Ahold Delhaize earlier this year – and follows in Unilever’s footsteps in adjusting its Scope 3 targets based on improved data and methodologies.
