Woolworths Group and our suppliers rely on the health of our planet to support sustainable food systems. We are partnering across our value chain to support the transition to a low-carbon economy whilst working to protect and regenerate nature and reduce food waste.

Our Goals

100% green electricity by 2025
We are one of the largest users of electricity across Australia and New Zealand, and our electricity use represents the majority of our operational emissions footprint. Our goal to be 100% powered by green electricity will make a significant positive change to Australia’s energy mix.  We will invest in new large-scale renewable electricity projects and solar on our rooftops to make this possible. 
Reducing hunger and food waste
To feed a growing population and reduce landfill emissions, it is important to responsibly manage food waste. Through our partnerships and operational changes, we are redistributing edible food and diverting other food waste to animal feed or food waste recycling. 
Net-zero emissions by 2050
Woolworths Group is continuing its long-standing commitment to contribute to a 1.5°C pathway and aims to reach net‑zero emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Practise responsible stewardship of natural resources
Natural resources are depleting faster than they can be replenished, and biodiversity is declining. Agriculture is the backbone of our business and we are committed to working with our partners to encourage sustainable and regenerative practices for future generations to come.
