Woolworths Holdings Limited: working with suppliers and collaboration with NGOs


As part of their water strategy, Woolworths Holdings Limited has committed to reducing relative water consumption by 30% by 2012, working with suppliers to reduce water use and improve wastewater management, and researching and understanding the water footprint of selected priority products. Woolworths is the first retailer to have joined the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) Water Neutral Scheme, and has entered into a 20-year commitment to become water neutral by eliminating invasive water-thirsty alien plants on supplier farms and in protected areas, such as the Tankwa Karoo National Park.
