Sustainability Leaders Awards 2012 Already well-known for its ambi-


tious 20 by 20 Sustainability Plan, Sainsbury’s has established itself as one of the leading retailers to push the boundaries of energy efficiency at its stores in 2012.


convenience stores touched at least once, with energy savings rising from an aver- age 9% to exceeding its 12% target in the second and third year, and again rising to a 16.5% in its fifth year, despite 25% sales area growth over the same period. Impressing those in the retail sector, since 2007/08, investment in RESET has generated energy savings equivalent to running 110 supermarkets annually via 14,000 initiatives, while, in its fifth year, the programme saved 51.7million kWh and 28,000 tCO2


.


Adding to this, the programme’s lifes- pan to date has saved 250million kWh, 135,000 tCO2


and £21.6m.


Stretching its ambition to reduce oper- ational carbon emissions by 30% abso- lute and 65% relative by 2020 versus 2005, Sainsbury’s 20 by 20 Sustainability Plan has adapted the RESET programme principles to deliver on site renewable energy technologies at scale. To date, 7MW solar PV, 38 biomass boilers and 7 ground source heat pumps have been installed using RESET princi- ples of detailed desk research and plan- ning, smart contracts, training, right first time installation and supplier and col- league engagement to maximize the car- bon benefits.


The RESET programme has been some- what of an education for Sainsbury’s, as over the course of its existence it has taught the organisation how to deliver energy efficiency programmes at scale, value from installing meters, contracts incentivising correct first time instal- lation of energy saving measures and delivery of targeted savings.


JUDGES COMMENTS: Sainsbury’s has taken a systematic approach, an absolutely clear lead and is dealing with the nitty gritty. Their entry made it obvious exactly how this fits into the hierarchy and how it has been built into both operations and thinking
