The company’s been reducing its carbon footprint for more than a decade and this latest move is an attempt to achieve its new net-zero emissions goals, said Loblaw President Galen Weston. “Last year, when we raised those targets to become net zero by 2040, we knew we would need some breakthrough innovation to reach our goal,” said Weston in a statement.
“This project delivers that by turning our highest carbon emitting energy market into our lowest, in one single step. Today’s announcement is a powerful example of private industry working together to bring scaled change to the energy transition.”The move will reduce Loblaw’s nationwide carbon emissions by 17 per cent and eliminate 180,000 metric tonnes of CO2, enough energy to power homes in a city the size of Lethbridge, said the company.
