How does employee education fit into Safeways GHG and Sustainability Program?
No strategy would have long-term sustainability without employee understanding and support. To that end, Safeway is implementing an ongoing, continuously updated employee communication and education program regarding GHG emissions, environmental stewardship and the company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Our “Power to Save” employee education initiative includes 10 easy energy-saving tips for employees who work in our stores. Each month a different energy-saving strategy is played via video in a continuous loop in employee break rooms. We also include periodic environmental video spots and stories in the electronic and print versions of the organization’s employee newsletter, In Focus.
