SUPERMARKET giant Aldi is planning to go small with its carbon footprint.
New energy saving measures in stores across Berkshire including air source heat pumps and more efficient lighting will save the equivalent of 30 tonnes of carbon emissions every year.
The announcement forms part of Aldi’s ongoing efforts to minimise its carbon emissions and climate impact.
Liz Fox, director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said the measures will also help to reduce prices.
“We’re always looking for new ways to minimise our carbon footprint while keeping prices as low as possible for our customers, and reducing our energy consumption helps us do both.
“All our stores already use 100% renewable electricity, as well as efficient lighting and refrigeration to reduce our impact on the environment. It’s great to see just how much energy the new measures we are introducing will save in stores across Berkshire.”
Aldi has pledged to achieve net zero carbon from electricity use by 2030, from transport fuel, gas and refrigerants by 2035, and across its entire supply chain by 2040.
