SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Over the past several years, we have focused on developing a deep understanding of our climate impacts through extensive and detailed data collection and analysis. We continued to look for ways of reducing our main operational impacts from energy use at our facilities and emissions from distribution, increasing our portfolio of sustainable products, and reducing our use of virgin materials and waste.
We have energy management systems in 98% of Petco Pet Care Centers. These systems help reduce our annual energy consumption by over 4 million kilowatt hours.
SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We prioritize four environmental metrics in our annual Sustainability Report. We track energy, emissions, waste and water, and use this data to track our sustainability performance.
We aim to integrate sustainability throughout our business where feasible. Our Petco Partners are driving multiple cross-functional sustainability projects.
We are walking our talk. Our Reddy brand combines style and sustainability. We are striving to provide pet parents with durable products they can feel great about using long-term, so there is less waste. Reddy products are also made using recycled materials.
Partnering for Impact:
Trex: Our recycling partner, Trex, collects plastic waste from our Distribution Centers and converts it into composite decking material for commercial and residential use. In 2024, our recycling initiatives diverted nearly 400 tons of plastic from landfills.
Break Through Fuel: Our partnership with industry leader Break Through Fuel, removes carrier cost associated with fuel from the cost of the shipment and create a pure pass-through fuel cost from the carrier to Petco. This provides control of fuel consumption, and better visibility to spend, allowing Petco to further track and develop future fuel- and emissions-reduction opportunities and cost savings.
