Sustainability & ESG

Petco is a fully integrated health & wellness company on a mission to improve the lives of pets, pet parents, and the more than 28,000 partners who work for us. We are committed to being the leading, most trusted resource in pet care and health & wellness by providing a comprehensive portfolio of essential nutrition, products, services, and veterinary care. To deliver on this commitment, we are continually focused on developing new standards in pet care, delivering comprehensive wellness solutions, and creating communities that deepen the pet-parent bond. 

Our mission and values fuel everything we do. This means a dedication that goes beyond providing great products and experiences—it also means committing to a more sustainable future and taking an active role in finding sustainable solutions. To that end, we established a set of ESG pillars that serve as our guiding principles to impact the wellbeing of pets, people, and the planet.

Every day, we strive to contribute to the world around us by improving pet lives. We work to improve the lives of the Petco partners who work for Petco and drive to execute to the highest degree of excellence. This is our definition of purpose-driven performance.

We gain valuable insights through active engagement with our key stakeholders, which include our partners and business leaders, investors, suppliers, customers, animal welfare experts, policymakers, industry trade groups, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Petco is a founding member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition, a founding partner of Human Animal Bond Research Institute(HABRI), a member of Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), and a proud participant of the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Our participation in these organizations enable us to build collective understanding of ESG risks and opportunities.
