Energy Efficiency and Carbon Emissions

With sustainable development goals and climate action initiatives embedded in policy priorities globally, it's increasingly important for organisations to adopt responsible business practices. At Ocado Group we are committed to be net zero in our own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 2035 and in our value chain (scope 3) by 2040. We are utilising our technology-led expertise, alongside industry-wide innovations to deliver this vision in a way that is both good for the environment and good for business.

Advancing towards net zero

Our near-term actions focus on what we can do to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. We have identified over 40 initiatives such as trialling electric vehicles as we start to transition our delivery fleet, installing solar panels and optimising cloud storage. Many of these actions are already in progress and we have clear visibility on their cost and how they will drive down emissions.

A more significant reduction in emissions beyond the impact of our near-term initiatives is required to achieve net zero. These include the transition of our vehicle fleet to zero emission vehicles, embedding sustainability by design into our processes, adopting carbon-driven procurement and raising supplier engagement. Some of these will also require the development of new carbon-efficient technology, such as widespread availability of green steel and improvements in performance of zero emission delivery vehicles.
