Chapter 1: Energy & Climate

Reaching our net zero target by 2050 requires a paradigm shift across the whole food system. We are committed to mitigating the negative impacts of climate change and our energy-use within Morrisons supply chains.

We have set 5 goals in the interim for our Sustain Chapter 1: Reducing our energy use and impact on the climate.

Our Sustain Goals

  • We are committed to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
  • We will reduce our operational Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 80.6% by 2035 from a 2019 baseline.
  • We will reduce our Scope 3 (non FLAG) emissions by 40% by 2035 from a 2019 baseline.
  • We will reduce our agricultural emissions (FLAG Scope 3 emissions) by 48.5% by 2035.
  • We will decarbonise our transport and logistics operations in line with our SBTI climate targets.

Why are we taking action?

The food systems we rely on are under immense pressure from the climate crisis, deforestation and the overuse of natural resources. It’s essential that we drive change to reduce the impact of these pressures.

Today, we’re already making a difference. We’ve reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 31% from a 2019 baseline, including a 5% reduction compared to the last financial year.
