This is a critical time for climate action, and Best Buy is doing our part to save our planet and create a more sustainable world for our employees and the communities we serve.
carbon reduction
We've set aggressive goals to reduce our carbon emissions 75% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
Our portion of the project will offset the carbon impact of 300 Best Buy stores, approximately 30% of our U.S. store portfolio, for 10 years.
From ENERGY STAR certified products to other tech for sustainable living, Best Buy can help you reduce your carbon footprint.
We've committed to be carbon neutral across our business by 2040, and we’re taking another big step toward that goal.
This is our biggest commitment yet to renewable energy.
We believe it's important for Best Buy to remain engaged with leading companies and the rest of the world in a commitment to aggressive, science-based carbon reduction.
Rising temps lead to rising energy costs. And as temperatures rise, there’s more extreme weather, which affects our employees, customers and the environment.
While the holiday shopping season is in full-swing here in the U.S., there’s another crowd gathering in Paris for the global conference on climate change, also referred to as COP21. Best Buy’s Laura Bishop, vice president of Public Affairs & Sustainability, is there to represent our sustainability efforts.
Best Buy made the prestigious FTSE4Good Index for the second year in a row.
The index includes publicly traded companies with strong environmental, social and governance practices. FTSE4Good Indices are utilized by socially responsible investors and other stakeholders to measure sustainability performance. Best Buy received the highest possible score in the environment category, on the heels of announcing that we exceeded our 20 by 20 carbon reduction goal.
