Want to talk about climate action? Reach out to our team!
What we do over the next 10 years will determine the future of humanity for the next 10,000 years.
Climate change is a full-fledged crisis and approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the food system. UNFI, as a leader in the North American wholesale and grocery distribution industry, is committed to playing a major role in driving change. To address our impacts, UNFI has set three science-based emissions reduction targets–covering our fleet, facilities and value chain–which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. Through this Hub, UNFI will provide tools and resources, including opportunities for our suppliers and partners to learn from experts and each other, to innovate and scale climate solutions across the food system.
