TJX Receives A- from CDP


We know that the way we conduct our business at TJX matters, and reducing our impact on the environment is important not just to us, but to many of our stakeholders. One of the ways we actively demonstrate our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability is by participating in the CDP Climate Change Information Request and we are pleased to have received a score of A- in 2018.

For the past nine years we have participated in this global disclosure framework that measures how we manage our environmental impacts. We are proud to be recognized for our efforts in this area, which include:

  • Our greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal, which is to reduce our global GHG emissions per dollar of revenue by 30% by 2020 against a 2010 baseline
  • Implementation of emissions reduction initiatives that, on a global basis, reduced our carbon footprint by more than 19,500 metric tons of CO2e in 2017
  • In FY18, renewables increased to 10% of global electricity purchases from 1% in FY17
  • An executive environmental steering committee that is responsible for guiding the development of TJX’s environmental sustainability strategy and aligning it with the overall business strategy
  • Undertaking a feasibility assessment for creating a science-based emissions reduction target and considering options that range from a two-degree to a carbon-neutral scenario
  • Incorporating environmentally sustainable features whenever feasible as we construct new buildings, including energy-efficient lighting, solar, and water conservation measures

We believe that by disclosing through CDP, we demonstrate our commitment to tackling environmental challenges and continuing to do our part as a responsible business. To learn more about our environmental efforts, visit the Environmental Sustainability section of tjx.com.
