Woolworths establishes Sustainability Strategy

This strategy sets us on the pathway for change. We have set out the areas we will focus on, and how we plan to address them.

Climate change is the major environmental issue facing our business. Therefore, chief among our targets is for our carbon emissions to remain at 2006 levels out to 2015. This represents a 40 percent reduction in emissions from our fixed assets on projected business growth and will make a significant contribution to Australia’s climate change response. In addition to this target we have also set carbon emission reduction targets for our transportation fleet.
