Delhaize Group - Annual Report 2010 31
Climate Change
Strategic goal: Set carbon footprint reduction targets
and review annually
In 2010, the Climate Change Synergy Team, which includes
environmental experts from each operating company, aligned
different local energy targets to set a common Group level emission
reduction goal. Through a reduction of our company’s emissions
from energy, refrigerants and transportation, Delhaize Group aims
to reduce its carbon emissions by 20% per square meter by 2020,
over the baseline year of 2008.
In 2010 we took important steps in this direction. Energy efficient
and ecologically conscientious stores became leading examples,
both in reducing emissions and lessening broader ecological
impact. We moved from one certified green store in 2009 to a total
of five in 2010. We received LEED certification for three stores in the
U.S. and opened Greece’s first green supermarket. Building green
stores helps us to identify opportunities we can transfer to our
existing stores, leveraging the scale of our network to decrease our
overall footprint.
Delhaize Belgium continued its efforts in energy efficiency through
several measures such as the installation of doors on all fridges
and converting to low power lighting solutions. In addition more
square meters of solar panels were installed on distribution centers
and stores.
Healthier Planet
2011 and Beyond
Being a good corporate citizen is a continuous journey. We
acknowledge the need to better use our leverage, from raw
materials to end consumption, to positively impact society and
the planet. We will continue to integrate and strengthen our CR
processes and strategy at Group and local levels in light of key
emerging trends, such as the sustainability of global food supplies
and increasing obesity rates.
