People, Planet, and Purpose
5th November 2025We believe doing good and doing business should go hand in hand. People, Planet, and Purpose is our way of showing how we’re making that happen — not just in words, but in action.
Here, you’ll find some of the wins we’re proud of - from cutting waste and carbon to protecting nature and supporting greener choices. These aren’t just corporate goals - they’re real changes that help build a healthier future for everyone.
Whether you’re a customer, an employee, or just curious, we invite you to explore how we’re putting purpose into practice. Because when we care for the planet and the people on it, we all benefit.
We're proud to share some of our recent achievements below:
Energy Consumption
Throughout 2024 we used 75,331 kWh of gas and 2,372,180 kWh of electricity, representing a 64% and 3% annual reduction respectively. This was achieved by the implementation of our energy management system and in turn represents our ongoing commitment to lowering carbon emissions and operating more sustainably across our facilities.
Water Consumption
By implementing a smarter water management strategy, and encouraging responsible usage across the site, we used a total of 3,882 m³ of water in 2024, representing a 12% reduction in water consumption.
Waste and Recycling
Through the implementation of a new waste management strategy, we increased our recycling rate to 42% in 2024, 2% more than the previous year, and achieved 100% diversion from landfill.
This progress reflects continued efforts to reduce waste sent to landfill through better recycling practices, employee engagement, and collaboration with waste management partners.
Commitment to our Community
From complimentary sanitary products, to free accessibility equipment and centre events, we want shoppers from all backgrounds to feel welcome at Cribbs.
