All of our divisions have improved truck loading methods, reducing fuel use and the number of trucks on the road.
While the "E" in V.A.L.U.E. stands for "Environmental Initiatives," it could also stand for "everyone" as we strongly believe each and every one of us has a role to play in protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. The TJX Companies has long been committed to pursuing initiatives that are smart for our business and good for the environment. One way in which we demonstrate our commitment is by reducing our energy and water use and waste generation.
To manage these efforts, TJX has established "green teams" in the U.S., Canada, and Europe1 with members drawn from many functions of our business. We aim to coordinate their efforts with the goal of establishing a Global Green Team. Our accomplishments have been recognized by the FTSE4Good Index, for which we have been selected every year since 2001.
In addition, TJX Europe's U.K. operations were awarded the Carbon Trust Standard certification, which recognizes our carbon footprint reduction efforts.
