Chapter 1: Energy & Climate

Reaching our net zero ambition by 2035 (scope 1&2) urgently requires a paradigm shift across the whole food system. We are committed to mitigating the negative impacts of climate change and our energy-use within Morrisons.

We have set five clear goals in the interim for energy and climate.

Our Sustain Goals

  • Achieve net zero operational emissions by 2035 (scope 1&2)*
  • Make an absolute reduction of 46% by 2030 compared to 2019 delivered through annual energy plans (scope 1&2)*
  • Reduce our own brand scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline*

Why are we taking action?

The food systems we rely on are under immense pressure from the climate crisis, deforestation and the overuse of natural resources. It’s essential that we drive change to reduce the impact of these pressures.

Today, we’re already making a difference. We have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations by 17% between 2019 and 2022.




How the food we sell is grown and made has a large impact on its environmental footprint. Find out more about our Biodiversity Strategy here
