Environmental Sustainability

At Meijer, we believe that to be a good company, we must be a good neighbor. As a result,
we engage in a range of initiatives that focus on reducing our environmental impact and
contribute to the communities we serve. Meijer integrates environmental sustainability into
its daily operations, not only because it makes good business sense, but because it aligns
with our values and is the right thing to do.
In 2016, the company’s Environmental Commitment was developed to provide a framework
for goal setting and sustainability programs. The Meijer Sustainability Council was also launched
in 2016 to bring together diverse internal stakeholders around sustainability initiatives,
to identify actions, and to set goals for each business area.
The following report provides an overview of our
current sustainability performance and where
we hope to go from here.
