Our Green Efforts

As one of America's largest retailers, the Kroger Co. and its banner companies are committed to being responsible stewards of the environment. A part of our commitment is reducing energy consumption in every one of our stores.

• Our skylights mean we can max out on natural light and our open ceiling reduces building material.
• The refrigeration system in our store is so cool, it not only keeps food cold, but it also helps heat our air and water.
• Energy-efficient fans and dryers inside our frozen food cases keep products frozen while using less electricity.
• Our overhead lights are smart enough to turn themselves off at night. Motion sensors turn the lights off when no one is around.
• The light bulbs over the magazines and check lanes are called "compact fluorescents." They last longer and use less energy than regular bulbs.
• Our concrete floor eliminates the need for tile and its harsh cleaning solvents.
• Our wide array of organic products results in less pesticide for the ecosphere.
• Our recycling program includes cardboard, newspaper, glass, etc.
• Having reusable bags available for your use, as well as our Bag-2-Bag recycling program, reduces waste.
