Sainsburys' Climate Change Impact: F

How can Sainsburys improve on its Climate Change Impact?

Sainsburys currently does not power their corporate building using 100% green renewable energy. This means the electricity used contains a mix of electricity generated by non-renewable means. This may include fossil fuels, such as coal. Today there are many different electricity providers offering green generated renewable electricity.

Sainsburys' company website currently isn't hosted by an industry recognised green host. This means they power their data centre using 100% renewable energy. Switching to a web hosting provider that operates this way will help the internet, and Sainsburys becoming a green company.

Becoming carbon-free is one of many ways to become an eco company.

If Sainsburys was to become a carbon-negative company will not only cover its outgoing carbon dioxide production, but remove more than its total output.
