Sprouts is committed to eliminating waste and fighting hunger
in the communities we serve.

In 2024, we prevented nearly 200M pounds of material from entering landfills, resulting in an overall landfill diversion rate of 71%. Additionally, we recovered 71 million pounds of food, and donated the equivalent of 29 million meals to help those in need!

We take systematic approach to managing waste and recyclables in our operations, which is based on the ISO 14001 environmental management protocol. We’ve identified our opportunity areas to reduce waste and increase recycling rates. Our highest priority continues to be on recovering food that is not in retail condition yet can be donated or repurposed to a higher use. Through multi-stakeholder engagement, we’ve identified best practices for material recovery and developed robust training that engages our 35,000 team members. We track performance through a customized store level scorecard that easily communicates areas of strengths and opportunities for our stores. We are constantly seeking ways to improve and participate in industry working groups such as FMI and WRI to drive improvement in our operations and within our industry.
