Every Little Helps on the Path to Zero Carbon
Tesco Ireland are taking their environmental responsibility seriously. The Company has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2035 and reaching net zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.
To help achieve its ambitious carbon reduction targets, Tesco Ireland partnered with ESB Energy to procure and install a variety of energy efficient upgrades and to provide ongoing energy monitoring and carbon accounting.
"Our partnership with ESB Energy is helping us stay on-track to achieve our net zero carbon targets, and improve the customer experience without any disruption."
