Co-op the 1st UK signatory of UN’s climate change campaign

The Co-op has been unveiled as the first UK retailer to become a signatory of the UN’s Our Only Future campaign at its Climate Action Summit in New York.

The initiative urges businesses to make critical contributions to help cap global temperature increases to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

The move follows Co-op’s announcement earlier this year that it has committed to further reductions in its greenhouse gas emissions of 50 per cent by 2025.

All Co-op premises already use 100 per cent renewable electricity.
