inclusive workforce, eliminating food waste going to landfills,
reducing unnecessary plastics and packaging and addressing food
insecurity.
“The progress we saw in 2022 would not have been possible
without the passion and dedication of our associates. Because of
them, we made meaningful changes that improve business performance
while reducing our emissions, building belonging with our team
members, lessening food waste going to landfill and addressing food
insecurity,” said Suzanne Long, Chief Sustainability and
Transformation Officer at Albertsons Cos. “In the year ahead, we
plan to expand our engagement for Recipe for Change, including
partnering with our vendors to drive industry change and increasing
customer involvement in achieving our goals. By bringing others
along on our journey, we can make change a reality.”
