Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.
Kroger belongs to the sector Consumer Staples.

Additional notes: Kroger’s emission reduction efforts span operations, supply chains, and customers. In operations, it has cut energy use through LED retrofits, refrigeration doors, and HVAC upgrades, transitioned over 15,000 cases to low-GWP refrigerants (CO₂, propane), generated 6.6M kWh of onsite solar power in 2023, purchased 97,500 MWh of renewable electricity via PPAs, replaced 200+ trucks with efficient models, and piloted EV vans, hybrid trailers, and SmartWay routing. Two anaerobic digestion facilities turn food waste into renewable biogas. On circularity, Kroger diverted 52% of food waste (via composting, AD, animal feed) and achieved 52% recyclable/compostable/reusable packaging with 10% recycled content. In its supply chain, it sourced 98% RSPO-certified palm oil, ensured beef and soy come from low/no-deforestation regions, required produce suppliers to adopt Integrated Pest Management (by 2028/2030), aligned 96% of seafood with sustainability standards, and launched biodiversity risk assessments with crop suppliers. For customers, Kroger has 110 stores with EV charging (target ~140 in 2024), piloted reusable bags through Closed Loop Partners, and expanded “Better for You” product lines.
