29 Jan 2020 --- Sainsbury’s has committed to investing £1 billion (US$1.3 billion) in becoming a Net Zero business across its operations by 2040. The UK retailer will invest in reducing plastic packaging, alongside carbon emissions, food waste and water usage, as well as increasing recycling, biodiversity and healthy and sustainable eating. Sainsbury’s will also work collaboratively with suppliers in line with their own carbon reduction commitments. This move aligns with the Paris Climate Change Agreement’s ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C and aims to better the UK Government’s own target of 2050.
