Environmentally Responsible. Smart For Business.
TJX is committed to pursuing initiatives that are environmentally responsible and smart for our business. Our operational environmental sustainability initiatives are centered around global goals that aim to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, scale up our use of renewable energy, and divert a significant portion of our operational waste from landfill. In addition, we have initiatives related to Sustainable Sourcing, which you can read about in the Responsible Sourcing section of our website.

Learn MoreSince setting our current environmental goals, TJX has worked to scale existing programs and processes to help us track our progress toward, and ultimately seek to achieve, our global environmental sustainability goals. We are committed to making progress against these goals, and we center our global and regional operational environmental sustainability initiatives around the following focus areas:
Our approach to managing the climate-related impacts of our own operations focuses on achieving our climate and energy goals2 and uses industry guidance, research, and models that support an emissions growth path aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Teams throughout our business are working toward our global operational waste diversion goal1 in several ways, including by eliminating waste where feasible and by maximizing the reuse and recycling of materials used in our stores, distribution centers, and corporate offices.
