Protecting our Planet

Across our operations we are enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. In 2023, our largest owned and leased sites consumed 405,000 MWh of electricity and natural gas, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions totaling 95,000 tCO2e. Over 60% of our forklifts are now electric, saving up to 7 tCO2e per unit annually, and we’ve automated manufacturing to cut emissions. Initiatives like vegan dog treats and alternative protein investments further reduce our impact. Our Four Paws brand exemplifies sustainability by using ethically sourced materials and optimizing product shipping, reducing annual emissions by 18,675 kgCO2e, equivalent to removing nearly 4,900 cars from the roads.

 

Cultivating our Communities

We are dedicated to supporting communities where our customers and employees live, work, and play through philanthropy, volunteering, and product stewardship. By fostering strong partnerships with local and national organizations and prioritizing sustainable product practices, we aim to create positive impacts for people and the environment.

 

Empowering our Employees

Employee well-being is essential to building a sustainable business and culture, which we achieve through a strong focus on health and safety, diversity and inclusion, and learning and development. We maintain high safety standards by investigating incidents, setting annual safety targets, and making investments to ensure a safe workplace. Additionally, we foster an inclusive environment through programs that embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds while investing in employees' growth through training and development opportunities that advance both their careers and personal potential.
