• In our prototype stores, we use skylights and oversized windows to bring in more natural light; and our overhead lights automatically dim when there is enough natural light to save energy.

  • We are working with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) to certify our buildings as sustainable and energy efficient stores.
  • The LED lighting that we use for our exterior signs, cooler doors, and freezer cases uses significantly less energy than fluorescent lights.
  • We increased insulation in our buildings so we use less heating and air conditioning.
  • Our refrigeration units are designed to use at least 10% less energy than standard units.
  • We use night shades on our refrigeration cases to keep cool air from escaping and secondary-loop systems to reuse cool air.

  • In-store recycling is available for plastic, aluminum, plastic bags and glass when possible at the front of all our stores and in employee break rooms.

  • We only use eco-friendly cleaning products to keep our stores clean and tidy.
  • Our buildings are smoke-free, both inside and out; and have increased ventilation for better air quality.

  • All our display and shipping materials are recycled or reused. This includes materials like cardboard, paper, plastic shrink wrap, pallets, totes, crates or damaged hand baskets.
  • Our Standard Grocery Bags are made from 50% recycled materials and are designed to be larger and sturdier, so there’s no need to double bag them:
    • We offer several reusable options, including one for 99-cents that is made from 100% unbleached cotton. It’s available for purchase in all our stores and is great for the beach, gym, work, school and, of course, bagging your fresh&easy™ groceries.
