2021 ESG Report Healthy Planet Building collaborations to tackle plastic In 2021 we joined forces with WWF to complete an audit of plastic packaging within our Store Brand product portfolio. The audit showed that 62 percent of our products include plastic packaging. What we learned set the path for our sustainable packaging roadmap and the development of five key goals that will help us reduce our impact while offering innovative products to our customers.
