Sainsbury’s

44/100

Leading the pack by setting an HFC phase-out date, but needs to be more open with its data

Commitment to change
Rating: 4.5

We applaud Sainsbury’s for being the biggest retailer to announce its commitment to stop using HFCs in all new stores and major refurbishments and look forward to seeing these plans put into action in 2010. However Sainsbury’s could have scored much higher if they’d been more transparent in revealing leakage rates and emissions. (Last year’s score 20/100)
