Climate Impact
Sprouts recognizes the impact that climate has within our supply chain and effects on our stores in terms of the occurrence and intensity of climate related weather events. We continually monitor and evaluate risks to our business stemming from climate change and are in the process of developing plans to mitigate some of these effects.
Our Scope 1 & 2 emissions come from our use of refrigeration to keep food at temperature and energy consumption to operate our stores and distribution centers. We have focused our carbon reduction efforts in designing and operating our stores in an energy efficient manner, retrofitting where appropriate, reducing use of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and reducing leak rates.

- Committed to a 25% Scope 1 & 2 emissions intensity reduction target per sq. ft. by 2033
- 2% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions achieved per sq. ft. from 2023 to 2024
- Improved Scope 3.1 emissions tracking in 2024, resulting in more accurate mass based emissions results.
