OUR SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVES:

  1. Local Supply Chain: We exclusively source produce, meat, eggs, and dairy from local farmers, significantly reducing transportation emissions and supporting local economies2.
  2. Garden Centres: Each of our stores features a garden centre, promoting green spaces and biodiversity in local communities1.
  3. Encouraging Active Transport: By strategically locating our stores, we promote walking and cycling, reducing carbon emissions and improving community health2.
  4. Waste Reduction: We're actively working to phase out avoidable single-use materials and reduce waste generation across our operations1.
  5. Clean Energy: We're transitioning to clean power sources to supply our operations, minimizing our carbon footprint

OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS:

  • Carbon Neutrality: We aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions for our entire operations by 2040, aligning with UKRI's environmental sustainability strategy1.
  • Biodiversity: By 2025, we plan to implement Biodiversity Action Plans across all our owned estates1.
  • Sustainable Sourcing: We're developing principles for environmentally responsible sourcing to be implemented across our supply chain3.
  • Community Engagement: We're involving local communities in our sustainability efforts, from promoting local artisans to organizing environmental awareness events

Why Local Matters

Our focus on local sourcing isn't just about reducing food miles. It's about creating a resilient, sustainable food system that:

  • Supports local economies and creates jobs

  • Provides fresher, more nutritious produce

  • Preserves farmland and supports sustainable agriculture practices

  • Strengthens community connections26

At Estrategia, we believe that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We're constantly innovating and adapting our practices to ensure we're doing our part in creating a more sustainable future for all.
