Overview
Our responsibility to address environmental impacts and tackle global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation translates into our actions and aspirations for the future. With stores in northern Canada, Alaska, the Caribbean and the Pacific Islands, our retail operations and rural communities are susceptible and exposed to extreme climatic events (e.g., prolonged heatwaves, heavy rainfall, blizzards, extreme cold events, hurricanes typhoons, cyclones, etc.), which are becoming more intense and frequent. We recognize that climate change will have a significant impact in these remote locations, and that it is fundamental that we incentivize positive actions to ensure a resilient future for the communities where we operate. Our commitment to the environment translates into actions that seek to reduce our environmental impacts, considering topics such as climate change, energy efficiency, promotion of renewable energy, and awareness in food/plastic waste. Moreover, as climate change has the potential to impact current business practices, we are gaining a better understanding of our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and working with experts to calculate our current GHG emissions baseline. We are also establishing a control framework and assurance strategies to support our reporting processes.
