Lowe’s Meets Emissions Reduction Target Early
Lowe’s has reduced emissions by 42% over the past five years and cut its energy usag by more than 10% last year in part by increasing the amount of renewable energy it uses in its operations. Some ways it lowered its carbon footprint were through efficient HVAC systems, LED lighting, and building management technologies at its stores and distribution centers. It also increased the use of renewable energy across its operations.
The company recently released its 2021 corporate responsibility report and says it has met its original emissions reduction target four years early. Lowes will seek to reach net-zero, including Scope 3 emissions, across its entire value chain.
