Chapter 1: Energy & Climate

Reaching our net zero operational emissions target 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 supply chains.

We have set 5 goals in the interim for our Sustain Chapter 1: Reducing our energy use and impact on the climate.

Our Sustain Goals

  • Net zero operational emissions by 2035 (scope 1&2) from a 2019 baseline
  • 46% reduction in scope 1&2 emissions by 2030, delivered through annual energy plans
  • Reduce our own brand scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline
  • Ambition to achieve net zero emissions in our direct UK agriculture supply chain by 2030
  • Decarbonise our transport and logistics operations in line with our STBI climate targets

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. Our value chain emissions account for approximately 98% of our carbon footprint, and we have reduced our scope 3 emissions by 21% from our 2019 baseline.



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
