United Natural Foods Releases Better for All Report for Fiscal Year 2022 - Seite 2

Climate Action Teamwork

The launch of the Climate Action Hub comes after almost two years of partnership with the Climate Collaborative, a community of businesses joining forces to create pathways to action and working together to create solutions on climate. The new platform offers UNFI suppliers a variety of tools and resources, including opportunities for suppliers and partners to learn from experts and each other, to innovate, and scale climate solutions across the food system. Additionally, the Company has made its Climate Action Guide for Business, which offers step-by-step guidance for how to measure and disclose impact, commit to ambitious targets, and identify opportunities for action, available to everyone for free with the hopes of fast-tracking collective action toward a decarbonized future.

“Approximately 97 percent of UNFI’s total emissions are a result of our upstream supply chain, which is why we are committed to empowering our suppliers to take climate action. As one of the country’s largest wholesalers, we are a connector between retail, brands, and communities and our leadership and education to others can help amplify the important role we all play in making a positive impact on our climate,” said Alisha Real, UNFI’s Vice President of ESG & Social Impact. “With the validation of our science-based targets this year, we are ready to accelerate our action and lead by example to support our communities and the planet.”

The annual edition of the report, which can be read at the newly updated BetterForAll.UNFI.com, is guided by leading internationally recognized frameworks, including Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). For added transparency, stakeholders looking for GRI and SASB reporting can find respective indices in the report’s appendix. The report also includes the Company’s disclosure aligned to recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures.
