The Kroger Co. has reduced energy consumption in its stores by more than 27 percent since 2000, according to the company’s 2010 Sustainability Report (PDF). The grocery retailer says that is enough electricity to power every single family home in Memphis, Tenn., for one year.
Kroger has saved companywide more than 1.9 billion kilowatt hours, which equals 1.36 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. The grocery retail chain says this equates to taking more than 260,000 cars off roads for one year.
