placed to contribute solutions to the social and environmental challenges we collectively face.
Used in conjunction with other sources of insight, this helps us to set priorities and informs our approach to reporting.
Our new Sustain Group comprises of leaders from across our business and is responsible for ensuring we deliver sustainable growth with a lower environmental and positive supply chain impact; and that we play our full part supporting the lives of our colleagues and the communities we serve.
We’re launching healthier products, introducing full ingredient lists on products to comply with Natasha’s Law, continuing to back British farmers and ensuring high animal welfare standards at all times.
Enhancing animal welfareSupporting BritishFood safetyEat well Ensuring food safety Why it matters Food safety continues to be ranked as the most important sustainability issue for our customers.
This ensures that every crop and country is risk assessed against the following criteria: environmental impact, operator safety, consumer safety and risk of illegal residues.
The money raised is intended to support farmers to create better free-range farmland to create a healthier environment for happier hens, who naturally tend to lay more eggs.
The scheme funds any farm employers with the college training fees for any student aged apprenticeship programme at their local agricultural college.
animal welfare Why it matters We believe every animal in our supply chain has the right to be content and to a good life.
Setting high standards We are committed to continually improving the standards and reporting of animal health and welfare in our own supply chain and through our third-party suppliers.
We maintain policies and standards, including not allowing animal cloning, genetic engineering or growth promoters, and continue to promote good animal husbandry practice and humane slaughter.
We record farm animal welfare assurance standards in use throughout our own-brand food supply chain, and for full transparency we publish an annual report on Farm Animal Health and Welfare policy and effectiveness.
We will also support the launch of the UK’s first ‘Windstreek’ farm which offers a range of sustainability benefits such as greater use of natural light and lower energy use.
Pork To improve welfare, we continued our research into environmental enrichment with the University of Leeds and introduced new farm standards requiring all supplying farms to undertake additional stockmanship and welfare training alongside having CCTV installed.
Our range of ‘For Farmers’ has now returned over £welfare and environmental measures.
Eat well Supporting BritishFood safety Enhancing animal welfare Our planet Our long-term success depends on the sustainable use of the planet’s resources.
food waste page Tackling the climate crisis page 18 Why it matters The climate crisis, deforestation, and overuse of natural resources are putting significant pressure on our planet, which could impact the food systems we all rely on.
We are broadening our environmental focus to our wider value chain, including setting scope our manufacturing sites under our food waste reporting, and starting work to map water scarcity in our own-brand supply chains.
climate crisis Why it matters The societal and economic impacts from COVID-to take bold action to tackle the climate crisis.
Our approach As a leading retailer we know we must play our part, which is why we are taking action in our own operations and within our wider value chain to reduce our carbon footprint.
Reducing our footprint Morrisons has set a target to reach Net Zero emissions by state where no greenhouse gases are emitted, or where residual emissions are balanced by removing an appropriate amount from the atmosphere.
Our current target, covering our direct emissions, so those from our stores or vehicles on the road, is to reduce operational emissions on an absolute basis against a by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2040.
In 2020 we reduced our footprint by 5%.
This was despite increased emissions associated with haulage due to growth in online sales.
Energy efficiency initiatives During to around 200 of our stores – this technology draws cold-air back into the fridge and helps reduce electricity consumption.
A reduction in gas consumption has been achieved through our boiler replacement programme and the reinstatement of ‘heat harvest’ technology, which uses heat from the refrigeration to provide hot water in store.
Building Management System upgrades have also allowed Morrisons to improve the control of electricity and gas associated with heating and ventilation.
Onsite renewable energy Alongside energy efficiency, we continue to consider the role of onsite renewables.
We currently have five Megawatts of onsite solar power installed across panels to maximise generation during 2020.
Efficient transport Our logistics division has continued to undertake a number of activities designed to reduce distance travelled and fuel consumed while delivering to our stores.
Scope Analysis from the Carbon Trust found the majority of our emissions (97%) are within our wider value chain (known as scope 3), as opposed to within our own operations.
Over the next year we will be setting a science-based target for our scope emissions and will be encouraging our suppliers to work with us on this shared goal.
Championing lower impact farming As British farming’s biggest supermarket customer, we believe we are in a unique position to lead changes in environmental practice which can help the industry to decarbonise.
For this portion of our scope Net Zero emissions by 2030.
food waste Why it matters Food waste is a significant contributor to climate change and, as a food retailer, also adds cost into our business.
We will be widening our scope of food waste reporting to include our manufacturing and distribution sites.
Reducing food waste in our stores As a food retailer, despite our best efforts, waste does occur.
Where food cannot be redistributed, we send it to anaerobic digestion to generate renewable energy.
Reducing food waste at our sites Our manufacturing sites and distribution centres also work with expert organisations to redistribute surplus food to where it is most needed in communities: meals redistributed through Company Shop 2 million meals redistributed through Fareshare 1 million meals redistributed through The...

We worked with the family to temporarily bring their potatoes into our Wonky range, providing an alternative market and preventing high quality produce from going to waste.
how we use plastics Why it matters We recognise the negative impact plastic pollution is having on our planet.
Our paper bags can carry heavy weights up to meaning they are sourced from forests that are managed responsibly.
Cutting down on milk bottles Milk bottles are one of the biggest contributors to our plastic footprint.
We also introduced water taps in all our stores to encourage customers to refill on the go.
Tackling ocean plastics We are sponsors to Odyssey Innovation’s Net Regeneration Scheme, which is the only recycling scheme for all types of fishing nets in the UK.
We will define our policy on water stewardship and reduction in our own-brand supply chains in areas of water scarcity.
We will also set a water reduction target for our own operations.
Deforestation Every year, are destroyed due to illegal logging, poor forest management, and increasing demand for forest and agricultural products.
Deforestation is a contributing factor to biodiversity losses and climate change.
We also implemented a sustainable soy sourcing policy, setting out stretching standards and targets for soy in both ingredients and animal feed, and became members of the UK Roundtable on Sustainable Soy, committing to public reporting.
We are increasing the amount of recycled polyester that we use within our ranges and, as part of our commitment to zero deforestation, we are making progress towards all our viscose being sourced from responsibly managed forests.
We are also part of the Better Cotton Initiative, which makes global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector’s future.
Water Access to fresh water under increasing stress from our changing climate.
In response, we will be developing a water stewardship and reduction plan for our own-brand supply chains in areas of water scarcity.
In addition, in automated water meter readers across our sites to better understand our own usage.
