Our mission is to improve the lives of pets, pet parents, and our Petco partners. We aim to be a leader in the industry and a partner to pets and pet parents, offering products and services at all price points and with expert guidance at every step of the pet parenthood journey.
We focus on sustainability programs that are designed to benefit the health and wellbeing of pets and people through responsible planet stewardship, align with the desires of customers, and support our bottom line.
We routinely engage with a variety of stakeholders to consider their priorities and perspectives as part of our Sustainability strategy. Such stakeholders include Petco employees, business leaders, investors, suppliers, customers, animal welfare experts, policymakers, industry trade groups, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Through our participation in industry trade groups such as the Pet Sustainability Coalition and the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), of which we are founding members, as well as the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), we aim to build a collective understanding of risks, developments, and opportunities for our industry. We sit on several of these groups' respective Sustainability-related committees, which allows us to further learn from and influence our industry.
