Climate Neutrality by 2040
At METRO, actions speak louder than words!
In 2021, we raised our climate target, aiming for global carbon neutrality in our operations by 2040. And we're not just talking the talk. We're walking the walk! With a 36.6% reduction in emissions since 2011, we're making real progress. Our goal? SBTi certification for our 2040 carbon neutrality target.
Our climate-neutral initiatives:
Boosting energy efficiency and embracing #renewables
Transitioning to natural refrigerants
Phasing out fossil heat
Expanding #photovoltaic systems
Electrifying our company car fleet
Adopting zero-emission models in new store construction
Community and collaboration are key, so we've joined the Düsseldorf Climate Pact as an official climate partner of the city.
But our climate efforts don't stop at our doorstep. We've pledged to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 60% by 2030, and we're already at 33.5%. We've also committed to a 15% absolute reduction in Scope 3 CO2 emissions by 2030. Using scenario analysis to manage risks such as rising CO2 prices and resource scarcity, we’re well prepared for the future
Reducing waste is another priority. We're innovating, providing waste insights and guiding customers on responsible disposal.
Last but not least our water policy aims to reduce water consumption by 10% per square metre by 2030.
Join us on our sustainable journey! Let's shape a greener future together!
